At last he even starts them on the path to mastering the arts of friendship and diplomacy. In this struggle he enlists the aid of his former captors, whom he gradually civilizes, teaching them first the practical advantages of kindness to their beasts of burden and then of casting aside centuries of communal living in favor of the nuclear family. Falling in love with a princess of red humanoids (two-armed but egg-bearing), he contrives a daring escape and later rescues the red men from the hostility of another nation of their own race. Although he is a prisoner of four-armed green men, his Civil War experience and Earth-trained musculature give him superior martial abilities, and he is treated with deference by this fierce race. John Carter is mysteriously conveyed to Mars, where he discovers two intelligent species continually embroiled in warfare. Download cover art Download CD case insert A Princess of Mars (Version 3)

The House is a living, breathing character which lurks in the background and exerts influence far beyond the boundaries of its garden and fences. In this uncompromising bleak novel, horror bubbles below the surface until one of the four main story strands introduces ‘The House’ with its own very distinctive presence to call it a ‘haunted house’ would be a disservice, as it is alive in the same way the building in Brian Asman’s Man, Fuck This House has a conscience. If Rumfitt is to believed, Britain is broken, very few individuals are satisfied with their lot in life, and Tell Me I’m Worthless is littered with characters who are not comfortable in their own skin or are medicated by drugs and alcohol. Fascism is alive, healthy and flourishing in modern Britain Brexit is barely mentioned, but its dark shadow looms over proceedings, reflecting the county’s recent lurch to the right-wing of the political spectrum. However, whilst the junkies of Trainspotting cared nothing for politics, Tell Me I’m Worthless has a deeper fractured message rippling through its nihilistic message. This visceral novel is as striking as Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting debut was back in 1993, with a similar bleak mix of casual sex, rape, drug use and hopelessness with the state of the nation. Having received outstanding reviews from both the horror and wider book world, Alison Rumfitt’s debut Tell Me I’m Worthless heralds the arrival of a distinctive new voice.

'In a world devastated by nuclear warfare, Snake, a healer - one of a small elite dedicated to caring for sick humanity goes wherever her skills are needed.

The Donald Trump administration is the latest to rediscover this reality, as it has tried - and failed - to push its China containment drive into Southeast Asia. And without clear thinking and a carefully calibrated approach, a great power such as the United States risks doing its own position in the region more harm than good. For, having framed the region around a broad, sweeping threat, you will find it very hard to argue for a nuanced approach to the diverse and divergent nations of Southeast Asia. In doing so, however, you risk a Pyrrhic victory. If you portray Southeast Asia as an arena for competition with a rival great power (China today, the Soviet Union previously) or for pushback against a dangerous ideology, be it Islamism or communism, you just might get some interest. How do you get policymakers in Washington to think more about Southeast Asia, a strategic region of more than 600 million people? Talk to them about something they actually care about, an American counterpart once joked to me. Vincent Bevins, The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade & the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World (New York: Public Affairs, 2020) They say Jung truly seriously considered the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis. ETH advocates sometimes say that while Jung approached UFOs psychologically because he was a psychologist, he was also on record as stating that some might be true physical objects under intelligent control, citing in particular radar corroboration. Some also say that because of his use of the concept of synchronicity in this book, he is also one of the founding fathers of paranormal explanations of the UFO phenomena.

He sent these detailed plans to all the branches of the U.S. He made numerous detailed drawings of the aircraft portrayed in various American cities – specifically, San Francisco and Chicago. The “Discopter” was a vertical liftoff aircraft that looked very much like what was to be later termed “flying saucer”.

It’s sort of a lot of things and if I go too deeply into what those things are, I’m going to give away elements of the plot. They don’t even drop out of the sky every year.
