| Transcript | Titan. Captive- in a world without end. John Varley author of The Ophiuchi Hotline, is widely considered to be the most important young S.E writer in America. His latest book Titan takes us into a world within a world From the outside it's a massive, wheel-shaped structure slowly orbiting Saturn So massive that the crew of the NASA probe which discovers it at first believe they've found a twelfth moon But when they move in to investigate, their own spacecraft is literally pulled apart, and the crew borne deep inside this strange world After a period of near total sensory-deprivation, the crew members wake up in an alien, bizarre countryside... an endless landscape inhabited by creatures straight out of the legends. And at the centre - at the hub of the world - lies its creator. "Readers who have not yet sampled Varley are missing the wildest and most original science fictional mind of the Seventies." George R.R. Martin Dosadi Experiment. It succeeded beyond their wildest nightmares. This is the new book from Frank Herbert, author of Dune. For 20 generations, two totally incompatible species have been imprisoned on Dosadi - a hidden planet isolated from all outside contact by the God Wall Now, 850 million beings are crammed into one small city in an experiment so monstrous that it threatens the whole galaxy. But who monitors the experiment... and what, above all, is its purpose? To find out, a Saboteur Extraordinary is projected through the God Wall - only to discover that he himself is part of the plan "Totally credible and told with an ease which belies an extraordinary control over the genre." The Times "J.RR. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis are not in Mr Herbert's inventive league... the range is staggering... splendid entertainment, with moral sinew and an astonishing romance." New York Times Alien. In space no one can hear you scream Hailed as the film sensation of the year by American critics ALIEN is due to be premiered in London during September. Alan Dean Foster's novel is now available in Futura paperback. Futura, publishers of Joe Haldeman, Alan Dean Foster, Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, Frederik Pohl, Jerry Pournelle, Chris Priest, Spider Robinson, Andrew M Stephenson, John Varley, and THE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Novels. |
