"Brigadier Soames doesn't. Bandy has run him over in a staff car, stolen his piano and jumped on his prize peacock from 8000 feet. And he's carrying on with the Brigadier's wife. The adjutant doesn't like him either. Not only has Bandy countermanded his orders to have the coal painted white but he's requisitioned his magnificent private loo for the ultimate mess trophy. They both resort to aerial warfare, though not the sort that has brought Bandy such distinction in the skies over the Western Front. The Brigadier orders him to test lethal prototype parachutes and the adjutant blots Bandy's copy-book with a highly trained dive-bombing pigeon. And Bandy? He just emeges triumphantly from one disaster to lurch straight into the next, wearing that crazy, ever-broadening smile which annouces: It's Me Again!" Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall. Book.

"Jenneth was tormented, torn between the love of two men."; BRIAN a courageous Revolutionary, ally of William Lyon MacKenzie; JOHN HUME gentleman of High Society, wealthy, refined & aristocratic; JENNETH the beautiful damsel of Lostwood Lodge. **** In the early part of the Nineteenth Century the Province of Quebec was divided into Higher and Lower Canada, a settlement that had never been popular. Conflicts between holders of various political opinions were constant, and culminated in the Rebellion of 1837-1938. Lord Durham, a pronounced Liberal, who was sent out as Governor-General in the middle of this critical period, made certain wise recommendations for the future of Canada, but many of them did not find favour with the House of Lords. Lord Durham took the surprising step of returning to England of his own accord. The author has used this period as a background and written a story which should satisfy both the social historian and the reader of novels. *** RARE Title; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall. Book.

The nature-loving empire of the Maurai is trying to control the atomic-minded North. Europe is beginning to rebel against Skyholm, the hovering aerostat that commands absolute authority. In this beautiful, frightening epic, lovers, fighters, poets and spies play out the drama of their time. Mankind has learned from its violent history - but now only transcendent heroism and courage can keep the Earth from burning again! - and - MAN OF THE MAURAI! He had passed many marching hours in devising the story he would tell, if and when he met human beings. It had better be a good story, as wild as his appearance was. Gaunt, weathered, scarred, unshorn, unwashed, clad in his rank woolens and in untanned skins lashed together with sinew, he would shock the poorest of the savages who roamed this outback. He was not a savage, though. He was a man of the Maurai, who had a mission to fulfill. AWARDS: Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

BY THE AUTHOR OF HAMMER'S SLAMMERS AND AT ANY PRICE. SYNOPSIS: The aliens were looking for a few good fighters, warriors who could be brave without blasters, and content with shields of bronze. What they got were Romans. GAIUS VIBULENAS: From a raw kid, he became an accomplished soldier - and a leader of men. QUARTILLA: She was everything a man could want - you would never guess she wasn't human. POMPILIUS NIGER: He learned young that the worst dangers a soldier faces come from those who give him his orders. CLODIUS AFER: A veteran, he didn't ask questions - until his alien masters forced the answers on him. The aliens knew that in these primitives they possessed the finest low-tech soldiers in the galaxy. What they did not understand was the madness of enslaving a Roman legion and leaving them with swords in their hands. - and - They were Roman soldiers - and they were still alive because there were no better killers in the galaxy. The Galactics need fighters who could win battles without the aid of technology. That's why, when Rome's legions suffered disaster at Carrhae, secretive alien traders were waiting to buy them on the Persian slave market. Now, virtually immortal, the Romans fight strange enemies on stranger worlds; and though they win every battle, the spoils of victory never include freedom. If the legionaries are ever to return to Earth, it must be through the beam weapons and force screens of their ruthless alien owners. But no matter the odds, two thousand years is a long time; the Romans are coming home. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

The GI Bill permitted him to attend the University of Houston after the war, where he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is currently a senior editor on the staff of Plant Engineering Magazine. Although he has written a "mainstream" novel, a young-adult novel, and many magazine articles, Wolfe is best known as a science-fiction writer, the author of over a hundred science-fiction short stories and of The Fifth Head of Cerberus. In 1973 his The Death of Doctor Island won the Nebula Award (given by the Science Fiction Writers of America) for the best science-fiction novella of the year. His novel Peace won the Chicago Foundation for Literature Award in 1977, and his "The Computer Iterates the Greater Trumps" has been awarded the Rhysling for science-fiction poetry. The first volume of The Book of the New Sun, The Shadow of the Torturer, was nominated for the Nebula Award and has just received the award for Best Fantasy Novel of the Year from the World Fantasy Convention. Volume Two, The Claw of the Conciliator, has been nominated for the Nebula Award. Mr. Wolfe lives with his wife and children in Barrington, Illinois. Although The Citadel of the Autarch completes this narrative of Severian's, Mr. Wolfe is at work on an independent book, The Urth of the New Sun, which further illuminates this future history.
