Davy

The Martians, long exiled from their home planet, have for millennia been observers of the world of men. Forbidden by their laws to interfere with human destiny, they wait for mankind to mature. From the turmoil of mid twentieth-century America, word comes to the Observers that one of their renegades is hoping to encourage humanity in its headlong rush to self-destruction through corruption of a single rare intellect. The struggle between Observer and Abdicator for the continuance of the human species is one the classic conflicts in the annuals of science fiction.

A Mirror for Observers

Mirror for Observers

(1964) Il mondo è caduto e, dalle ceneri di una civiltà scomparsa, è sorta una nuova era di oscurità. La Gerarchia domina con il pugno di ferro della superstizione, spegnendo ogni scintilla di sapere e condannando chi osa ribellarsi. In questo scenario di rovina e paura, un giovane si solleva contro il destino imposto: Davy, lo spirito libero, il ribelle, l'eretico. Con la sua voce irriverente e il coraggio di chi non conosce catene, attraversa villaggi e terre selvagge, sfidando autorità, pregiudizi e il peso della propria stessa leggenda. È il canto di chi osa sognare un futuro diverso.

Transcendental Adventures in Science Fiction

An Exaltation of Stars

The time is the early eighteenth century, and two young brothers are the sole survivors of a brutal attack perpetrated on their New England village by the French. They eventually are reunited with some members of their extended family, but will the two boys be able to make their way in the world without the loving guidance of their parents? This detailed historical novel is a gripping, emotionally engaging read.

Wilderness of Spring

Trial of Callista Blake who is being tried for the murder of Anne Dougherty, late wife of the man with whom Callista was having an affair.

The Trial of Callista Blake

In the corner gas station, the local saloon, on the down-east farm, in the settings of EVERYDAY - there appear UNEXPECTEDLY THE ALIEN, THE WEIRD, THE MYSTERIOUS The title story tells of one tearful stray from a herd of alien livestock which crushes most of Manhattan and causes apologetic herders to make amends. There is a shivery novelette about the abduction of a country wife by a hairy beast, and the story of a pickup truck full of mythical characters asking directions to Olympus. Then there are the ten-legged blue bugs from inner - or outer - space that can give you a dream - or a nightmare; the shadow-monkeys who have the absurd habit of following along and changing by what you think; the tiny angel that hatches from an egg; and the 'wrens' that hatch from Grandpa's beard the summer he was 106.

Good Neighbors and Other Strangers

You can't blame an alien for a little inconvenience--as long as he makes up for it! A short classic from the author of "Davy," "A Mirror for Observers," "West of the Sun," and many others.

The Good Neighbors

Several light-years west of the Earth's Sun lay the planet, Lucifer, circling a sun of its own, circled by its own two moons. The five specially selected and trained passengers of the "Argo" found much on Lucifer to remind them of the Earth they had left eleven years before. The air was invigorating, the vegetation lush, and there were people - a race of friendly white giants and a swarming population of wary pygmy tribes. The Earth pioneers soon faced the problem of survival on the red-green planet, and also the founding of a democratic civilization among the strife-torn pygmies. However, they were soon entwined in a brutal war between opposing pygmy forces. On the outcome of this war hinged the very fate of the new way of life on Lucifer...

West of the Sun

After eleven years in space, the Argo landed on the dangerous, unknown planet Lucifer. The crew faced an untamed world of huge, carnivorous birds with wolverine heads and flashing black teeth; furred, ten-foot-tall men; and red-skinned, man-eating pygmies. They fought for mere survival. But their duty was to colonize and populate the planet . . . with four men and only two women!
