The Amber Spyglass part 1 of 5 by Philip Pullman The Amber Spyglass part 2 of 5 The Amber Spyglass part 3 of 5 The Amber Spyglass part 4 of 5 The Amber Spyglass part 5 of 5 ******The Amber Spyglass brings the intrigue of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife to a heart-stopping end, marking the final volume of His Dark Materials as the most powerful of the trilogy. Along with the return of Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, Lord Asriel, Dr. Mary Malone, and Iorek Byrnison the armored bear, come a host of new characters: the Mulefa, mysterious wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust; Gallivespian Lord Roke, a hand-high spymaster to Lord Asriel; and Metatron, a fierce and mighty angel. So, too, come startling revelations: the painful price Lyra must pay to walk through the land of the dead, the haunting power of Dr. Malone's amber spyglass, and the names of who will live--and who will die--for love. And all the while, war rages with the Kingdom of Heaven, a brutal battle that--in its shocking outcome--will uncover the secret of Dust. Philip Pullman deftly brings the cliff-hangers and mysteries of His Dark Materials to an earth shattering conclusion--and confirms his fantasy trilogy as an undoubted and enduring classic.

Prince Valiant 1.2 Prince Valiant 2.2 Prince Valiant and the Outlaws ******Edward, the Duke of Windsor, called Prince Valiant the "greatest contribution to English literature in the past hundred years."[1] Generally regarded by comics historians as one of the most impressive visual creations ever syndicated, the strip is noted for its realistically rendered panoramas and the intelligent, sometimes humorous narrative. Quatermass Memoirs 1.5 Quatermass Memoirs 2.5 Quatermass Memoirs 3.5 Quatermass Memoirs 4.5 Quatermass Memoirs 5.5 ******The "Quatermass Memoirs" mixes drama-documentary, in which Nigel Kneale reflects on the 1950s fearful atmosphere in which he wrote the classic "Quatermass" TV serials, with a dramatic narrative, in which the now-retired Professor Quatermass (played by Nigel Kneale) reluctantly recounts his past exploits to a female journalist. Spider's War by S Fowler Wright ******In the far future, a woman must fight for her life and honor against two foes: the men who control society, and the giant spiders that inhabit a neighboring land.

Tales From the Perilous Realm 1.4 by JRR Tolkien - Farmer Giles of Ham Tales From the Perilous Realm 2.4 - Smith Of Wotton Major Tales From the Perilous Realm 3.4 - The Adventures Of Tom Bombadil Tales From the Perilous Realm 4.4 - Leaf By Niggle ******For the first time in A-format, the definitive collection of Tolkien's four acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of The Hobbit. Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but -- having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant -- is called upon to do battle when the dragon Chrysophylax comes to town; The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells by way of verse of Tom's many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls; Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle who sets out to paint the perfect tree; Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children. The four tales are written with the same skill, quality and hallmarks that made Tolkien's Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for readers young and old. The Midas Plague by Frederik Pohl ******A short story about a world in which the "poor" are required to consume goods, and the "rich" do not have quotas for consumption. In 1992, Frederik Pohl was presented with the Nebula Grand Masters Award for lifetime achievement. The Omega Point by Bruce Stewart ******Superb science fiction story beginning with the decoding of an electronic message from a remote transmitter. The Tor Sands Experience by Bruce Stewart (90 min) ******sequel to OMEGAPOINT. Excellent science fiction tale, with hexadodecaphonic sound effects The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks ******The State of the Art is a collection of short fiction, mainly science fiction, first published in 1991. The Time Machine by H G Wells (new version) ******This is the tale of a Victorian time traveler who creates a machine which takes him 800,000 years into the future, to a divided world of innocence and knowledge. The Wonderful Visit by H G Wells ******Most of the inhabitants of Sidderton were asleep that night so they never knew what had happened. Some might have guessed from the howling wind of the previous day, one or two heard its noise, but no one actually saw it. If they had they might have been more prepared for what was to follow. At first they thought those who reported sightings of the Strange Bird the next morning had gone mad, or were drunk. But they soon got used to the idea - for since that night, Sidderton would never be the same again. Torchwood - Asylum Torchwood - Golden Age Torchwood - Lost Souls by Joseph Lidster Torchwood - The Dead Line ******"Somewhere out there in that chaos of darkness and light, of science and protons, of gods and stars and death... somewhere there's an answer." WE 1.2 by Yevgeny Zamyatin WE 2.2 ******Zamiatin's satirical novel. It documents a society where citizens are known only as he-numbers and she-numbers, who believe that their totally limited existence, under the watchful eye of the benefactor, is the ideal way to live. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Total 0 folder(s); 56 file(s) Total files size: 568 MB; 568323 KB; 581962928 Bytes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
