Armageddon—2419 A.D.: Revised Edition Of Original Version (Classics To Go)
by Philip Francis NowlanPhilip Francis Nowlan (1888 – February 1, 1940) was an American science fiction author, best known as the creator of Buck Rogers. Nowlan’s novella “Armageddon—2419 A.D.” tells about America in the 25th century, conquered by Hans in 2109 AD and only now beginning to rebel. Sometime after World War I, nearly all the European powers joined forces against the United States. Although the US won the war, both sides were devastated by the conflict. Taking advantage of the chaos that followed, the 'Russian Soviets' (USSR) joined forces with the 'Mongolians' to take over Europe. The US collapsed economically and stagnated while the 'Mongolians' turned against the Russians and defeated them as part of their campaign of world conquest. American efforts to avoid war with the 'Mongols' failed and in 2109 AD, they attacked the US using fleets of airships armed with disintegrator rays. They attacked from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and down from Canada. After conquering the US and Canada, these 'Airlords of Han' ruled North America as a province of the world empire from fifteen great cities they established across the continent. They ignored the Americans who were left to fend for themselves in the forests and mountains as their advanced technology prevented the need for slave labor.[1] From time to time, they raid American land "to keep the 'wild' Americans on the run within the shelter of their forests, and prevent their becoming a menace to the Han civilisation." (Excerpt from Wikipedia)

Armageddon's Children (Genesis of Shannara #1)
by Terry BrooksBONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The Measure of the Magic. Terry Brooks is one of a handful of writers whose work defines modern fantasy fiction. His twenty-three international bestsellers have ranged from the beloved Shannara series to stories that tread a much darker path. Armageddon's Children is a new creation- the perfect opportunity for readers unfamiliar with Brooks's previous work to experience an author at the height of his considerable storytelling powers. It is a gripping chronicle of a once-familiar world now spun shockingly out of control, in which an extraordinary few struggle to salvage hope in the face of terrifying chaos. Logan Tom is doomed to remember the past and determined to rescue the future. Far behind him lies a boyhood cut violently short by his family's slaughter, when the forces of madness and hate swept our world after decadent excesses led to civilization's downfall. Somewhere ahead of him rests the only chance to beat back the minions of evil that are systematically killing and enslaving the last remnants of humanity. Navigating the scarred and poisoned landscape that once was America and guided by a powerful talisman, Logan has sworn an oath to seek out a remarkable being born of magic, possessed of untold abilities, and destined to lead the final fight against darkness. Across the country, Angel Perez, herself a survivor of the malevolent, death-dealing forces combing the land, has also been chosen for an uncanny mission in the name of her ruined world's salvation. From the devastated streets of Los Angeles, she will journey to find a place-and a people-shrouded in mystery, celebrated in legend, and vital to the cause of humankind . . . even as a relentless foe follows close behind, bent on her extermination. While in the nearly forsaken city of Seattle, a makeshift family of refugees has carved out a tenuous existence among the street gangs, mutants, and marauders fighting to stay alive against mounting odds-and something unspeakable that has come from the shadows in search of prey. In time, all their paths will cross. Their common purpose will draw them together. Their courage and convictions will be tested and their fates will be decided, as their singular crusade begins: to take back, or lose forever, the only world they have. In Armageddon' s Children, Brooks brings his gifts as a mythmaker to the timeless theme of the unending, essential conflict between darkness and light-and carries his unique imaginative vision to a stunning new level. Prepare for a breathtaking tour de force. To those who are new to Terry Brooks, welcome. And to those who have read him for many years: prepare for a dramatic surprise.

Pollution and warfare have poisoned the skies, the water and the soil.

Armand V
by Dag Solstad Steven T. MurrayNew Directions proudly introduces two novels in English by the Norwegian master, who is “without question, Norway’s bravest, most intelligent novelist” (Per Petterson) Armand is a diplomat rising through the ranks of the Norwegian foreign office, but he’s caught between his public duty to support foreign wars in the Middle East and his private disdain for Western intervention. He hides behind knowing, ironic statements, which no one grasps and which change nothing. Armand’s son joins the Norwegian SAS to fight in the Middle East, despite being specifically warned against such a move by his father, and this leads to catastrophic, heartbreaking consequences. Told exclusively in footnotes to an unwritten book, this is Solstad’s radically unconventional novel about how we experience the passing of time: how it fragments, drifts, quickens, and how single moments can define a life.

Las armas del alba: Guerra En El Paraíso / Las Armas Del Alba (Narradores Contemporáneos Ser.)
by Carlos MontemayorLas armas del alba es la primera investigación sistemática, minuciosa y a fondo de los acontecimientos históricos del inicio de la guerrilla mexicana y su primera expresión literaria plena. "La novela restituye memoria y dignidad. Montemayor lo hace con habilidad literaria y admirable firmeza civil." Giovanni Gentile G. Marchetti, Universidad de Bolonia. El 23 de septiembre de 1965, un puñado de guerrilleros atacó el cuartel militar de Ciudad Madera, en el estado de Chihuahua. Este breve acto marcó el surgimiento de las guerrillas en la historia reciente de México y sirvió como inspiración a futuros levantamientos armados en el país. Las armas del alba es una novela donde los personajes luchan contra su destino y cuyo sacrificio sirvió para que los poderosos escucharan la voz de los explotados. Estamos ante una brillante narración, inspirada por hechos reales que sacudieron la estructura de poder en México.
