Here's a retro science fiction novel that baby boomers will appreciate. If your childhood dream was to pilot a rocket ship, live on the moon, or travel to the stars, this is the sci-fi adventure for you!In 1966 my teenage friends and I were enthralled by the prospect of space travel. I envisioned building a personal spacecraft, lunar outpost, and an asteroid starship. This didn't seem like a stretch to me, any more than a time-traveling UFO landing in my back yard did! One fateful night I had the opportunity to see the future, and it was everything that I imagined. My now-grown friends had found the means to achieve our dreams-although, not quite the way I predicted, after all, life has a way of exacting its toll. Luckily, I arrived in time to witness the completion of our greatest scientific endeavor. Join me now for a good old-fashioned, outer space adventure with the awe and mystery that you haven't experienced since you were, well...a kid!

Science fiction legend Jack Williamson's classic autobiography is much more than the story of a single man's life and work; it is an amazing look at the entire 20th century from the perspective of a man on a "long search for endurable compromise with society." Born in 1908, Williamson often felt at odds with the world around him and began writing science fiction as a method of escape. His tentative entrance into the field - his first story was published in 1928 in Hugo Gernsbach's legendary Amazing Stories - soon transformed him from a pulp writer into one of the Grand Masters of science fiction.

Arthur C. Clarke acquired his first science fiction magazine - a copy of Astounding Stories - in 1930, when he was 13. Immediately he became an avid reader and collector: and, soon enough, a would-be-writer. The rest is history. Now, in Astounding Days, he looks back over those impressed by him, discussing their scientific howlers, and their remarkable proportion of predictive bulls-eyes - and writing of his early life and career. Written with relaxed good humour, Astounding Days is full of fascinating comment and anecdote.

From the late Prof. W J BrayWilliam Joseph Bray, Theoretical Physicist, Neuroscience Research Chemist, now employed by the Central Intelligence Agency, sat alone in a hanger at Pomona, and I mean - 'alone,' with the exception of an armed guard in each corner of the hanger, about four acres of space, just one desk and a book shelf, and four armed guards. "No one under any circumstances was to enter that huge empty room but me," says Bray, reminiscing. "I sat and wrote, by hand, all day, every day, for over a year, 2026 pages in all. They had seen my web site 'Quantum Temporal Dynamics,' interviewed me in a tiny shack in the middle of the Pine Barrens, and told me to sit, and start writing. It took a little over a year and 2026 pages. Only two humans on Earth knew I was there, knew the authorship of the document, and now, they are dead (of old age)."My new mother-in-law's boss had been working on a radical procedure for correcting ventricular tachycardia. The procedure involved stopping the patient's heart altogether, and waiting until the EEG (brain waves) went completely flat lined, in short, killing the patient, and then resuscitating the patient. What if we took a Physicist, prepared him/her for the procedure, and practiced the procedure on a Physicist, repeatedly, until we obtained the information we were looking for...?I was then the volunteer. At first the 'NDEs' were induced, and then they started to become 'spontaneous...' "Six months after completing the (written) work, all funding for new energy sources and new propulsion technologies was very abruptly cut, in the middle of a fiscal year, without warning, and you can check in 2006, cut off, with no explanation. Quantum Temporal Dynamics is a re-write of a century of quantum theory and physical cosmology, absolutely disproves everything down to the fine details of the Standard Model in Quantum Mechanics, and makes it all obsolete.""I've been doing this for 450,000 years now, changing the human time-line. First, we pointed primitive man's eyes up at the stars and explained to them - 'from the death of those stars, all things are made,' which was brilliant. At that point, I and my 'esteemed colleagues' with whom I have been doing this for eons, had a focus for man to centralize into civilizations, for the purpose of building megalithic structures as a means of injection of math and technology that we taught them across the globe in a single millennia, and founded human civilizations.""Early in the 20th century I and 'all of my esteemed colleagues' gathered in a single glorious effort to found Quantum Physics, and now, I am back, alone this time, to finish the work, getting it back on course from the riff-raff and gibberish these kid scientists have pissed into it, preparing for the next step we introduce in human evolution. And no, we are not 'aliens, we are from an infinite domain, just like you.""So I describe some of the physics here in detail. I also provide a solid foundation and description of existing beyond the confines of linear time, which is a construct, that infinite domain some call 'a heaven or perhaps Heaven.' For the purpose of changing the construct, 'The Game' as I sometimes call it, there have to be a very few, or at least one, who is keenly and constantly aware of existing in that infinite domain, which I describe to you in detail, and the physics, and what you would call 'the afterlife,' but I refer to as that place you reside at this very moment, and the infinite energy you yourself manipulate to 'Paint the Universe into Being.' The description of that physics altered the US programs for energy and propulsion research, which I describe here in some detail, since the only two men on Earth who knew the authorship of the original document are dead."Oh yes, this is Science-Fiction. No rights I signed away included fiction. And since I have no desire to be born yet again (my 36th attempt) in 1962, you better get the message.

'This, I believe, is the first autobiography of a machine,' writes Epikt, a Ktistec machine. In the resulting mindbending, at times hilarious, work of the imagination, the careful and attentive reader realizes that Epikt is not only presiding at its own birth at the Institute for Impure Science, but it is also addressing itself to the interpretation of mankind's most profoundly puzzling problems.

Known for his intelligent and often surreal humour, Paul Merton's weekly appearances on BBC1's Have I Got News For You - as well as Radio 4's Just A Minute and his travel documentaries - have seen him become an artfully rebellious fixture in our lives for over 25 years. He also has a real story to tell. In ONLY WHEN I LAUGH, his rich and beautifully-observed autobiography, Paul takes us on an evocative journey from his working-class Fulham childhood to the present day. Whether writing about school days, his run-ins with the nuns and other pupils; his disastrous first confession; his meatpacking job; taking acid; leaving home to live in bedsit; his early brushes with the opposite sex - and not forgetting his repeated attempts to break into the world of comedy - Paul's writing is always funny, poignant and revealing. And when his star finally ascends in the atmospherically drawn 1980s alternative cabaret scene there is a sense of excitement, energy, camaraderie, momentum and dramatic impending success... ...And then CRASH! In an unflinching and brilliantly written section that defines the book, we experience the disorienting and terrifying sustained manic episode that he suffered which landed him in a psychiatric hospital. These, and other tougher moments, are written about candidly and with sensitivity and honesty. Yet throughout ONLY WHEN I LAUGH, Paul Merton succeeds in telling his life story entertainingly, with warmth, humour and a big bucket load of wit. Ultimately uplifting, it is the story of a fascinating life, brilliantly told - and one of the best memoirs of the year.
