Etelän tähti on legendaarisen kirjailijaneron upeinta tuotantoa: vuonna 1884 julkaistu huikean jännittävä tarina Kimberleyn timanttikentiltä Etelä-Afrikassa. Etelän tähti, maailman suurin ja loistavin keinotekoinen jalokivi, näyttelee ratkaisevaa osaa kirjan sankariparin, nuoren ranskalaisen insinöörin ja hänen kauniin rakastettunsa elämässä kulttuurien rajaseudulla, jossa valkoiset muukalaiset ja mustat alkuasukkaat kohtaavat.

Tieteisromaanin suuria nimiä on Jules Verne. Hänen huikea matkaseikkailunsa vuodelta 1886 ottaa kantaa ajan ilmailuongelmaan: kuuluuko tulevaisuus ilmaa kevyemmille vai raskaammille lentolaitteille. Jännittävän tapahtumaketjun lomassa tarina välittää aivan ainutlaatuista tietoa ilmailun varhaishistoriasta. Insinööri Robur on rakentanut ”lentolaivan”. Keksintöön ei uskota, ja tästä kimpaantuneena Robur sieppaa mukaansa kaksi ilmapallopurjehtijaa ja lennättää heitä puolitoista kertaa maapallon ympäri.

Jules Verne oli suuri jo eläessään, uskomattoman tuottelias kirjailija, joka osasi ottaa lukijansa. Hänen legendaarinen maineensa perustuu ennen kaikkea romaanisarjaan Voyages extraordinaires, Merkilliset matkat, jonka Ranskan akatemia palkitsi 1872.Claudius Bombarnac on XX Vuosisata -lehden reportteri, joka lähtee matkalle Tiflisistä Pekingiin. Siitä kehkeytyy suuri itämainen seikkailu, täynnä huumoria ja komiikkaa. Vernen loistavassa mielikuvituksessa syntyi pari sataa vuotta ennen aikojaan tekniikan ihme – kaiken kattava rautatieverkko autiomaihin ja riisipelloille. Keskeiseksi muodostuu arvoituksellinen ”ruumisvaunu”, jossa kuljetetaan 15 miljoonan frangin arvoista kulta- ja jalokiviaarretta Kiinan keisarille, Taivaan pojalle.

Ruwenda is a pleasant, peaceful land-but the magic of its guardian, the Archimage Binah, is waning. Binah must pass along her protectorship to the triplet princess of Ruwenda. She bestows upon the infant girls the power of the rare and mystical Black Trillium-badge of the royal house, symbol of an ancient magic. While the sisters blossom into beautiful young women, neighboring Labornok use a dark magician to sunder Binah's protection. As invaders pour into Ruwenda, the Archimage orders the princesses to flee-and changes them to search for three magical talismans which when brought together will be their only chance to regain their kingdom and free its people. Each must accomplish her task separately-and to succeed, each must also confront and conquer the limits of her own soul.

Sophie had lost a child. She was looking for peace and rest. She didn't know what it was, but Glenraven promised her that. JayJay had bad luck with husbands -- a three-time loser now, all she wanted was to be a million miles away from her small North Carolina town.Glenraven seemed to be an Alpine principality somewhere in the neighborhood of northern Italy -- according to the unique guidebook advertising Glenraven's charms, obscure, almost non-traversable Alpine passages constituted the only way in. But in reality it was a magic kingdom detached in some strange dimensional way from our world. What the people of Glenraven wanted was a couple of heroes who would free them from a ruler who was quite literally a monster in human guise. What the people of Glenraven got were JayJay and Sophie.

"During the lawless Ages of Chaos, when the ruling families of Darkover ruthlessly inbred their laran-gifted offspring to gain powerful talents, a baby was born to the lord of Aldaran. This child, born on a dark and thunder-filled night, was possessed of a terrifying and uncontrolled talent: Dorilys, heiress to her father's domain, could unwittingly call forth lightning, even while still a fretful child. Fearful for his daughter's life and the safety of his domain, Lord Aldaran sent to a tower for help. But even the powers of a trained monitor and a Hastur lord might not be enough to save this painfully afflicted and deadly young woman."Stormqueen! occurs two hundred years prior to Two To Conquer, in the period of Darkover's history known as the Ages of Chaos. The underlying theme of Stormqueen! is a breeding program, undertaken over centuries, to produce stronger laran gifts, resulting in individuals like Dorilys and Allart, whose gifts are potentially lethal.Though it is mentioned as an aside, this book contains the moment in the Darkovan timeline when the Ridenow of the Dry Towns overtake the Serrais domain, merging into Ridenow of Serrais.

Jotta tarut säilyisivät, ne tallennettiin nahkakääröihin Sulkalinnun siipisulalla."

The Mars Probe has crashed. A triumph of Soviet technology, the first two-way interplanetary probe performed brilliantly until the final stage of its return. Then something went wrong: rather than following its programmed course to a soft landing in its country of origin, the probe crashed in the Peruvian Andes. Now a weird infection beyond the understanding of medical science has wiped out an entire village - except for one man, who, alone and undiscovered by medics, survives. He has awakened to find himself become his own ancestor, and a god. Suddenly the flames of an Indian revolution are spreading South America; he is the Martian Inca.

With all but one of the four jewels of the Power recovered, Prince Julian, claimant and true heir to the throne of Westria, must summon his strength to retrieve the final jewel and save the kingdom.
