Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "A Pattern for Monsters" is by veteran science fiction writer, Randall Garrett. It didn't make sense to reporter Brad Stevens. The Larchmont nursing home fire had been a big one--the biggest blaze in years. So why wasn't he allowed past the fire lines like reporters usually were? Then after the fire when he called the nearby hospital he was told that--strangely enough--there hadn't been a single admission from the Larchmont fire. Then it turned out there were no records of the ambulance service whose vehicles had taken the victims away. It was a perplexing mystery that Stevens and his photographer pal Parker couldn't figure out. The police denied every ugly rumor and called their iron censorship a routine matter, explaining that the fire was nothing out of the ordinary. But the telephoto lens told a different story. And when Stevens saw Parker's photo of a fire victim with two heads, they both realized it had been far more than a routine fire and rescue operation... The second novel is "Star Surgeon" by another sci-fi veteran, Alan E. Nourse. Back in the 1950s when the original version of "Star Surgeon" was first written (Amazing Stories, 12/59), space opera rarely varied from the usual science fiction formulas of the day. That's why when "Star Surgeon" came out it was such a breath of fresh air to fans of the genre. Here you had a grand tale of intergalactic medicine and the men who practiced it. In fact, the tale's main character, Dal Timgar, wasn't even from good old Earth, but a non-human from the faraway planet of Garv II. Timgar had grown up wanting to be a doctor, but unfortunately only humans had ever been trained to serve in the Galactic Confederation of Worlds. This proved to be a challenge that pitted Timgar against both friends and enemies, and at times...even himself.

‘Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century’ The Times What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald’s own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human. ‘A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas... Formally dexterous, fearlessly written (why shouldn't an essay be a novel?), and unremittingly arcane; by the end I was in tears’ Teju Cole, Guardian

One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both. 'A vital book about dying.

A Bloody and Barbarous God investigates the relationship between gnosticism, a system of thought that argues that the cosmos is evil and that the human spirit must strive for liberation from manifest existence, and the perennial philosophy, a study of the highest common factor in all esoteric religions, and how these traditions have influenced the later novels of Cormac McCarthy, namely, Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, No Country for Old Men, and The Road. Mundik argues that McCarthy continually strives to evolve an explanatory theodicy throughout his work, and that his novels are, to a lesser or greater extent, concerned with the meaning of human existence in relation to the presence of evil and the nature of the divine.
