Mordred, Bastard Son (Mordred Trilogy, Book #1)
by Douglas CleggMordred, Bastard Son is a 260 page Arthurian fantasy novel first published in 2006 and written by the award-winning authur Douglas Clegg. It is book one of the Mordred Trilogy. The summary by Alyson Books reads as follows: Conceived in violence... Born from royalty... Raised in exile. "My mother, Morgan le Fay, was called the Witch-Queen, and my father, Arthur, King of the Britons. Merlin taught me the Sacred Arts. And my lover was the greatest of knights... I was born bastard and prince, and hidden from the world as I came to manhood, but I will return to claim my throne" In this brilliant reimagining of the legends of King Arthur, a young monk becomes enthralled by the story that a wounded mysterious prisoner in his care begins to tell. That prisoner is Mordred, the traditional villain of Arthurian legend, and his story is one of ambition, power, and betrayal. "I came into this life during the Beltane Fires" he states, "and I was born to the caverns of the Lady of the Lake, and learned of life in the ancient forest of Broceliande." Mordred emerges as a heroic and romantic figure, torn between his powerful mother's desire for revenge against Arthur, his own conflicted feelings toward the father who betrayed him, and his passionate love affair with a knight in King Arthur's court. From his birth into his youth, Mordred's soul is forged by the great forces of the Arthurian world - and of the shadow-legend of a father who has sought the death of his only son. The first book in an epic series, Mordred, Bastard Son, sets the stage for a grand adventure of love, friendship, magick^ war, and triumph. In the hands of Bram Stoker Award-winning author Douglas Clegg, here is a fresh and dazzling chapter in the Arthurian canon.

More Human Than Human: Stories of Androids, Robots, and Manufactured Humanity
by Neil ClarkeThe idea of creating an artificial human is an old one. One of the earliest science-fictional novels, Frankenstein, concerned itself primarily with the hubris of creation, and one’s relationship to one’s creator. Later versions of this “artificial human” story (and indeed later adaptations of Frankenstein) changed the focus to more modernist questions… What is the nature of humanity? What does it mean to be human? These stories continued through the golden age of science fiction with Isaac Asimov’s I Robot story cycle, and then through post-modern iterations from new wave writers like Philip K. Dick. Today, this compelling science fiction trope persists in mass media narratives like Westworld and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, as well as twenty-first century science fiction novels like Charles Stross’s Saturn's Children and Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl. The short stories in More Human than Human demonstrate the depth and breadth of artificial humanity in contemporary science fiction. Issues of passing . . . of what it is to be human . . . of autonomy and slavery and oppression, and yes, the hubris of creation; these ideas have fascinated us for at least two hundred years, and this selection of stories demonstrates why it is such an alluring and recurring conceit.
More Issues At Hand
by James BlishJames Blish, in his incarnation as 'William Atheling, Jr' has written more than his share of the most incisive criticism of contemporary science fiction. Following on form The Issue at Hand, this new volume of Atheling's critical writings skewers literary malefactors of many kinds, including some well-known authors whose great popularity is all the more puzzling because there seems to be so little reason for it. Atheling does not stint on praise where it is due, but in other cases, the sins and errors of the filed are dispatched with his trademark rapier-like incisiveness.
More Issues at Hand
by William Atheling Jr.James Blish, in his incarnation as "William Atheling, Jr.," has written more than his share of the most incisive criticism of contemporary science fiction. In 1964 Advent brought out The Issue at Hand, a collection of Atheling's critical essays on stories in the science-fiction magazines. Now we present a new volume which concentrates on science-fiction books. As before, Atheling's rapier skewers literary malefactors of many kinds, including some well-known authors whose great popularity is all the more puzzling because there seems to be so little reason for it. To be sure, Atheling does not stint praise where it is due--see especially the chapters on Budrys and Sturgeon--but it is in the nature of criticism that the sins and errors be dealt with in greatest detail. As Atheling puts it: "There is no such thing as destructive criticism. That is just a cliché people use to signal that their toes have been stepped on. After all, the whole point of telling a man he is doing something the wrong way is the hope that next time he will do it right. "Simply saying that a given book is bad may serve the secondary function of warning the public away from it, if the public trusts the critic. But if you do not go on to say in what way it is bad, your verdict is not destructive criticism, or any other kind of criticism; it is just abuse. "A good critic is positively obliged to be harsh toward bad work. By a good critic, I mean a man with a good ear, a love for his field at its best, and a broad and detailed knowledge of the techniques of that field. The technical critic (not, please, the scientific or technological one), should be able to say with some precision not only that something went wrong--if it did--but just how it went wrong. "In writing, as in any other art, there is a medium to be worked in, and there are both adroit and clumsy ways to work with it. The writer should know the difference between what is adroit and what is clumsy. If he does not, it is the function of the technical critic to show it to him. Technical critics are, or should be, invaluable to the writer who is serious about the lifelong task of learning his craft. "Such a critic is also useful to the reader. Here his work usually takes the form of explication du texte: he uses special knowledge to unearth and expose some element in the work of art which the ordinary reader probably did not know was there." [Adapted from the Introduction]

More Perfect: The Circle meets Inception in this moving exploration of tech and connection.
by Temi Oh"What does it feel like to wake up in the Panopticon? It&’s like waking up for the first time ever. It&’s like waking up with a third eye." When Moremi connects her brain to the Panopticon, a network which allows you to see inside the minds and dreams of others, she believes that it will save her from depression, loneliness and, eventually, death. That is until she meets Orpheus. Orpheus was brought up in isolation by a Neo-luddite father. He was raised to question everything, including the government who plan to make the connection procedure compulsory. They promise that connecting everyone to the Panopticon will end human suffering and usher in a more perfect world. But when Orpheus and Moremi uncover the dark side of the technology, they find themselves on opposite sides of a radical divide, between those who believe that the Panopticon will save humanity, and those who will stop at nothing to destroy it. The Circle meets Inception in an immersive and futuristic story that explores love, loneliness and the limits of technology&’s ability to save a humanity who might not want to be saved.
