That meant throwing off her inhibitions once and for all and, like some modern-day Cinderella, transforming herself completely!But it seemed that famous author Miles Thatcher thoroughly disapproved of her innocent attempts to enjoy herself for once-although that didn't mean he was above stealing a kiss in the moonlight. He had absolutely no right to tell her what she could and couldn't do. Miles was no Prince Charming and after the end of their vacation they'd never see each other again, surely...?

Voyage to Kazohinia
by Sandor Szathmari Inez KemenesA page-turning dystopian classic that stands alongside Brave New World and Gulliver's Travels, Voyage to Kazohinia is a tour de force of twentieth-century literature--and it is here published in English for the first time outside of Hungary. Sándor Szathmári's comical novel chronicles the travels of a modern Gulliver on the eve of World War II. A shipwrecked English ship's surgeon finds himself on an unknown island whose inhabitants, the Hins, live a technologically advanced existence without emotions, desires, arts, money, or politics. Soon unhappy amid this bleak perfection, Gulliver asks to be admitted to the closed settlement of the Behins, beings with souls and atavistic human traits. He has seen nothing yet. A massively entertaining mix of satire and science fiction, Voyage to Kazohinia has seen half a dozen editions in Hungary in the seventy years since its original publication and remains the country's most popular cult classic.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Voyager in Night (Age of Exploration #2)
by C. J. CherryhThe ship in view was like nothing human-built, a disc cradled in a frame warted with bubbles of no sensible geometry. The generation vanes, if that was what those projections were, stretched about it in a tangle of webbing as if some mad spider had been at work, veiling that toadish lump in gossamer. Lightnings flickered multicolor in the webs and reflected off the warted body, a repeated sequence of pulses. Lindy, on her own, facing the leviathan, sent out a pulse. No. Negative. Reverse. Keep away from us.The bogey kept coming, but slower, feather-soft for something of its power, as if it drifted.
