Review & Description

New 2011 English Translation.

The cult-classic by Stanislaw Lem that spawned the movie is now available for your Kindle! Until NOW the only English edition was a 1970 version, which was translated from French and which Lem himself described as a "poor translation." This wonderful new English translation (by Bill Johnston) of Lem's classic Solaris is a must-have for fans of Lem's classic novel.

Telling of humanity's encounter with an alien intelligence on the planet Solaris, the 1961 novel is a cult classic, exploring the ultimate futility of attempting to communicate with extra-terrestrial life.

When Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, he finds a painful, hitherto unconscious memory embodied in the living physical likeness of a long-dead lover. Others examining the planet, Kelvin learns, are plagued with their own repressed and newly corporeal memories. The Solaris ocean may be a massive brain that creates these incarnate memories, though its purpose in doing so is unknown, forcing the scientists to shift the focus of their quest and wonder if they can truly understand the universe without first understanding what lies within their hearts.New 2011 English Translation.

Review & Description

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne is the subterranean adventure genre, a classic of 19th century science fiction. Originally published in 1864 as Voyage au centre de la Terre, there are two principal English translations. The most commonly reprinted translation, published by Griffith and Farran in 1871, changed the names of some of the characters, and added and deleted passages ad lib.

Verne looms large in the literature of the hollow earth, not only because of his fame, but because the book is so well written, and, despite some creaky science, is not a complete departure from reality, compared with Etidorpha, or even the Pellucidar books of Egdar Rice Burroughs.

This kindle edition is special to add his bibliography and all his selected work. And brief story in film 2008. The new illustrated pictures are including for increasing your imagination reading.

Review & Description

The story of the biggest cover up in presidential history.

When Investigative Reporter David McLaughlin is told by his ex-wife's new husband - Doctor Reginald Hotchkiss - that he has evidence of something world changing, McLaughlin doesn't believe him. Not until the man and McLaughlin's ex are brutally tortured and murdered does the mystery become real.

In a desperate run - McLaughlin must keep himself and his daughter Beth alive long enough to find out what Hotchkiss knew, who the information threatens and where Hotchkiss hid whatever it is he found.

The investigation takes McLaughlin all the way to the Oval Office and a cover up that threatens the validity of an election.

This is a story about what voters have the right to know before they make their decision to choose a leader.The story of the biggest cover up in presidential history.
