Animal Farm 5.5
******George Orwell's 1945 satire on the perils of Stalinism has proved 
magnificently long-lived as a parable about totalitarianism anywhere - 
and has given the world at least one immortal phrase: 
                                              Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.

******It is over six months since the West Sussex community of Pentworth became isolated 
from the rest of the world by a mysterious force wall. Beyond the strange, dome-like barrier 
lies the unreachable world of the bleak steppes of Europe of 40,000 years ago. Equally 
unreachable are the visitors responsible for the creation of the force wall, sheltering in their 
UFO in a deep swamp. The visitors have largely ignored the imprisoned inhabitants with the 
exception of sixteen-year-old Vikki Taylor. She alone holds the key as to why the visitors have 
come. But the revival of ancient superstitions in Pentworth have made Vikki and her friends 
fugitives, accused of witchcraft. The Silent Vulcan opens with Pentworth on the brink of a bloody 
civil war between town and country and concludes with the visitors finally showing their hand and 
                          revealing the extraordinary reason for their arrival in their "Silent Vulcan".

******Two incidents, widely different in character yet bound together by results, 
marked the night of January the twenty-third. On that night the blackest fog within 
a four years' memory fell upon certain portions of London, and also on that night 
came the first announcement of the border risings against the Persian government 
in the province of Khorasan the announcement that, speculated upon, even smiled at, 
at the time, assumed such significance in the light of after events. . . . and now in 
London a familiar man takes the part he took on years ago, and has kept in secret 
all these years: he is a masquerader. He hasplayed his part, lived for his hour, and 
proved himself long since. Now he takes steps back into the dim world of unrealized 
hopes and unachieved ambitions. The Great Game is in motion, and at stake is the 
                                             fate of nations -- and of the Masquerader, too.

******In 1903 a mysterious young woman flees alone across the West, one heart-pounding step 
ahead of the law. At nineteen, Mary Boulton has just become a widow - and her husband's killer. 
As bloodhounds track her frantic race toward the mountains, she is tormented by mad visions 
and by the knowledge that her two ruthless brothers-in-law are in pursuit, determined to avenge 
their younger brother's death. Responding to little more than the primitive fight for life, the widow 
retreats ever deeper into the wilderness - and into the wilds of her own mind - encountering an 
unforgettable cast of eccentrics along the way.
