I had just begun taking off my jacket when the door quietly opened and two men slipped swiftly into the room.One was Frankie. The other I was seeing for the first time and not liking what I saw. Both were armed. Frankie had changed his toy for a mansized .38, which he held in his gloved right hand.No one spoke a word. The stranger tilted his gun toward the center of my face. Frankie swung his at the girl on the bed, planted his feet solidly, and fired five times into her body.Frankie dropped the .38 to the floor and the two of them backed out of the room. The door was quietly closed.I walked over quickly, crouched down, looked at the gun.It was mine.

Blitz was no ordinary horse. He had within him a quality of greatness which gave him the power to give his best-and more-whenever it was needed.Carefully trained and well cared for, he soon became the most talked about fire horse in Drumlin: fast and sure and first at almost every fire.Then a fearful accident injured both Blitz and his driver, and Blitz was sold to a cruel master and needed all of his courage and strength to live through the next few years.The story of how he is saved by the love and care of a boy, and of how he in turn is able to save a child's life, makes a dramatic and moving book in the old tradition. There are happy times and sad times, and a warmth in the telling that will satisfy anyone who loves a good horse story.

The history of early Australian science fiction has been well chronicled by literary historians. In searching for a synthesis of colonial Australian science fiction, they generally identify three genres into which most Australian science fiction of the period can be placed: lost civilisation novels, (including Lemurian and utopian novels); historical fantasies, which re-imagined Australia's colonial past (particularly the history of Australian exploration); and future invasion or future political novels (which dramatized fears of racial invasion or social chaos resulting from political upheaval or natural disasters like plague).In the short form, early Australian science fiction is more heterogeneous. There were more outlets for the short form and more short stories were published, so we would expect a wider range of themes and subject matter, and indeed this is the case. The stories collected here indicate something of the richness and variety of science fiction written by Australian authors up the mid-1930s. We see some of the themes mentioned above, for example the lost civilisation story (Phil Collas's "The Inner Domain") and the future invasion story (Ernest Favenc's "What the Rats Brought"), but they offer something new and original, while other stories are built on the consequences of technological discoveries or advancements, for example Ernest Favenc's "The Land of the Unseen," H.B. Marriott Watson's "The Instrument," and Beatrice Grimshaw's "Lost Wings."

Penny Parker starred in a series of 17 books written by Mildred A. Wirt Benson and published from 1939 through 1947. Penny was a high school sleuth who also occasionally moonlighted as a reporter for her father's newspaper. Benson favored Penny Parker over all the other books she wrote, including Nancy Drew. Her obituary quoted her as saying, "I always thought Penny Parker was a better Nancy Drew than Nancy is," Mrs. Benson said in 1993.

"Quasi-supernaturalism creeps into a few of [Grant's] novels, especially Kalee's Shrine (1886)...about the Thuggee cult and Mesmerism." -- Encyclopedia of Fantasy

Early in 1945, as the Allies pounded toward the German heartland, the German army methodically destroyed all the bridges across the Rhine to delay the Allied advance.

On the run, he meets Ilse, a crippled governess, who hides him in a castle above the bridge at Remagen.

She had the hind of beauty no man could resist, even an icy-veined private eye. Trouble was, Juanita Toy gave Peter Hunter more than her warm, exotic flesh. Her gifts included money-and a murder rap!Maybe Pete should have stuck to less dangerous women-like gorgeous Pat Laine, so big and so willing, so blonde all over. That way he would only have had to lick the gangster Moretti, the copper Hogan, the killer old Phineas and his hatchetman, Ramon...But Pete's stoke in the game was far bigger than murder. He was playing for love, for glory-and for keeps!

Do you remember Tommy Bloome, our beloved Leader who led the revolution that kept America out of World War II and established the workers' state?No? Then perhaps you may remember Tommy Bloome, the alienated kid who tried to assassinate our heroic General Norton in 1947? Not him either?Well, never mind. You may recall still another Tommy Bloome who...But maybe you had better read this account that Gordon Eklund has put down of the Americas that might have been, of the ambitions of one idealistic young man who tried to make our country and our world "better" and what happens when he bucks the invisible tides that sweep relentlessly through the courses of human events. It may be Eklund's finest novel-it is certainly science fiction far out of the usual paths.

Memory is like the wind--no one knows where it comes fom or where it goes to when it is away. A witty man once suggested that it must be situated in the back of the head, becuase whenever anyone struggled to remember a particular date or event, he usually scratched there. Memory as a storehouse of enriching thoughts, memory as an aid to success, memory as a cause of pain through misuse, self-conscious memory as a dinvine act of creation, are but a few fascinating phases of memory which Professor Phelps treats of in his enlivening little volume.

"Experience has taught us that it is sometimes wise and necessary to have more than two witnesses to bring out the whole truth. Especially is this the case where one of such witnesses has a powerful motive for suppressing or distorting the facts, as in this case. I therefore insist upon my right to take the witness stand and give my version of this Southern question, and though it shall widely differ from that of both the North and South, I shall submit the same to the candid judgment of all who hear me in full confidence that it will be received as true, by honest men and women of both sections of this Republic." -- Frederick Douglass

Julie had lived her life at 912 Linton Street. But the things she was telling me now had nothing to do with Linton Street. She dragged a sled up a snowy hill behind her house...but there was no hill on Linton Street. She scratched patterns with her fingernails on frosty windowpanes that looked out on a brick courtyard that was not on Linton Street. People came and went around her with the rustle of long skirts. Pleasant memories of some childhood that the Julie Wintcomb I knew had never known. But not all memories were pleasant...

The annual calm is broken by a burglary, a theft, a series of perculiar advertisements and an adventure on the high seas, in all of which Pat Hillyard and Tony are tangled.
