The Red Lion
The harrowing adventures of a 16th century alchemist's apprentice who murders his master to possess a potion rumoured to confer immortality.
Under a Blue Moon
In this extraordinary adventure, spiked with humor and insight, Isa Oehry documents a journey that began innocently under the golden light of a full moon. Mysteriously nourished, enriched, and highly energized by an unknown force under nothing but a moon surrounded by thousands of stars, she felt a prompting, inviting her to a destination yet unknown, to a hidden world concealing ancient wisdom. She spontaneously decided to set out to find it. Her search led her into a world where people, according to the laws of science, have no right to be alive. Her eyes were opened to previously unknown and what at first sight appear as unbelievable truths. Understandings about this earth, its people, animals and plants—the entire universe—suddenly no longer applied. Although it was Isa Oehry who was the one to walk this extraordinary journey and experience the adventures, the insights are meant for all of us. This true story inspires us to look beyond the obvious, and keep our minds and hearts open for the unseen and previously unheard. It forever changes how we view the world we live in.
Science Fiction: A Critical Guide
This book, first published in 1979, presents a portrait of science fiction as a distinct form of serious and creative literature. Contributors are drawn from Britain, America and Europe, and range from well-known academic critics to young novelists. The essays establish the common properties of science fiction writing, and assess the history and significance of a field in which critical judgements have often been unreliable. The material ranges from the earliest imaginative journeys to the moon, to later developments of British, American and European science fiction.
Urban Angel
A cleverly constructed, spiritually challenging, deep and complex novel. Urban Angel centres on Alex Masters, a young Christian woman with a destiny. She is passionate about reaching young people for Jesus - the heart of her vision being 'to build a Christ-centred culture' which would affect every part of the culture. Alex works for SLaM, an entertainment conglomerate with interests in the pop industry, publishing and fashion. But SLaM takes on a project called SEEKA which is designed to influence and change youth culture in a very negative way, through drugs and other means. This book shows, in a very subtle way, the two forces at work to influence the culture - satanic (the force behind SEEKA) and Divine (Alex's 'destiny'). The author takes us behind the scenes, so to speak, and we see the role of angels and demons in the plot. Full of intriguing sub-plots with assassins and shadowy figures at work on behalf of 'the enemy' to corrupt young people.
Crop Circles

A spectacular 30-page pictorial, which presents an eye-catching survey of the contin-uing phenomenon, will fascinate believers and non-believers alike with its surprising beauty, variety, and complexity.

Minotaur in Love
"Bruno is fighting to escape the loveless labyrinth in which his childhood has imprisoned him. Short and stout, he thinks he can only love his ever-expanding library and collection of jazz records. When at last he falls for a mysterious and statuesque woman he struggles to reconcile his passion for her with his fear that her superb height will make him all the more laughable."--BOOK JACKET.
Cat Country
When a traveller from China crash-lands on Mars, he finds himself in a country inhabited entirely by Cat People. Befriended by a local cat-man, he becomes acquainted in all aspects of cat-life: he learns to speak Felinese, masters cat-poetry, and appreciates the narcotic effects of the reverie leaf - their food staple. But curiosity turns to despair when he ventures further into the heart of the country and the culture, and realizes that he is witnessing the bleak decline of a civilization. Cat Country, Lao She's only work of science fiction, is both a dark, dystopian tale of one man's close encounter with the feline kind and a scathing indictment of a country gone awry.
