Frank M. Robinson Bücher

Es traf ihn, als er gerade unter einer Straßenlampe vorbeiging, und er mußte sich am Laternenpfahl festhalten. Es fühlte sich an, als habe ihm jemand auf den Kopf geschlagen, und einen Augenblick lang glaubte er, ohnmächtig zu werden. Etwas zog und bohrte in seinem Gehirn, drängte die wesentlichen Teile seiner Persönlichkeit in dunkle Verstecke zurück. Plötzlich empfand er die hilflose Unterlegenheit eines sehr kleinen Mannes in einem sehr großen Raum, kam sich vor, als sei er betrunken, und nur ein winziger Rest von Nüchternheit sei zurückgeblieben und frage sich nun, weshalb er sagte und tat,, was er sagte und tat. Dies ist Bill Tanners erste Begegnung mit der lautlosen Macht - andere, tödlichere folgen. Und wie ihm geht es vielen, die sich dem Sog des Supergehirns entgegenstellen: einer Macht, die nichts Menschliches mehr hat.

Since the beginning of his existence, man has used imagination to create magical worlds that would transport him beyond the borders of reality. Art of Imagination is a trilogy consisting of the award winning Illustrated History series: Science Fiction of the 20th Century (Year 2000 Hugo Award Winner), Horror of the 20th Century (Bram Stoker Award nominee), and Fantasy of the 20th Century creating the ultimate collection. It was in the twentieth century that book, magazine, and poster artists reached new pinnacles of creativity in depicting the unknown. This collection of works by artists and designers of movie posters, books, and magazines provides a hearty feast for the eyes of the enchanted reader. These artisans and their works are the subject of this new must-have book for not only collectors of memorabilia, but for every person who has longed to step into his or her imaginary world, be it one of fantasy, flight, or fear -- if only for a moment.

The starship Astron has spent two millennia searching for alien life, but has found none. As the ship deteriorates, its crew faces the daunting prospect of embarking on a final journey across the Dark, a treacherous path through empty space that will take a hundred generations. This exploration promises to test their endurance and resolve as they venture into the unknown, with the hope of discovering what lies beyond the void.

The narrative explores the unconventional dynamics between pioneers and scholars, highlighting the tension that arises when those who traditionally venture into the unknown choose to remain in place, while academics take on the role of explorers. This shift in roles leads to a new form of resentment among the pioneers, who grapple with their past hardships and the changing landscape of exploration and discovery. The story delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the evolving nature of adventure.
