Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Lost Moons by Jack Vance Lost Moons in two different Dustjackets. Here are two different Dustjackets from Lost Moons. The first one was of the trade edition with 878 copies I think. The second one? Was that from a library edition? And how many copies? Does someone know more? Mar 26, 2018 #2 2018-03-26T18:28. The signed and trade, and Presentation copies all have the upper dust jacket. That's all I know for sure. I looked through some of my old U/M catalogs, and the two for HARDCOVERS FALL 1987 and SPRING 1988 show the lower dust jacket in the ad for the book. Since it was originally published in 1982, they may have changed the artwork for a 2nd printing. Lost Moons by Jack Vance. Jack Vance is certainly one the most inventive writers in SF&F, capable of creating very detailed and fascinating environments, but unfortunately, rarely giving them any further exploration or depth. His early stories are great entertainment, but later fiction became less accessible, with confusing plot-lines and irrelevant side-stories. However, at his best, Vance shines as a most spectacular visionary in history of SF&F.

Keeping in mind the year of its writing - 1974 - this novella predated many classic "cyberpunk" urban environments and, specifically, "Bladerunner" visuals. Not as dark as the famous Ridley Scott's movie set designs, "Assault on a City" features similar intense & ragged crowds of human & alien origin, plenty of fringe-culture display, flying cars and skyscraper jungle - all serving as a backdrop to pretty run-of-the-mill detective story. Even though the plot is confusing, the atmosphere is familiar and much liked in sf: it is the Asimov's "Caves of Steel" environment, updated for the 70s. Or rather, for the 80s - I believe this novella is 10 years ahead of its time in style and design. I am also glad the story's got a better title, than the originally-intended "The Insufferable Red-Headed Daughter of Commander Tynnott O.T.E.". review: 05-Feb-08 (read in 1988) "The Asutra" (nv) (Durdane series 3) © 1973, F&SF book: Dell Books, 1974 --/ cool sf novel "Big Planet" (nv) (Big Planet series) © Startling Stories, Sep 1952 novel: Avalon Books, 1957 --/ cool sf novel --/ wonder award --/ adventure award.

This is a small pop-art masterpiece with some psychedelic overtones. It feeds on paranoid ideas of the Fifties (aliens possessing our brains), embellishes it with cool descriptions of psychological and aural warfare (reminds me of "Final Fantasy" ghostly doppelganger entities), and reads like a gaudy poster in its simplicity of idea and plot. I often skipped many pages, to arrive sooner at the bizarre parasitic "brain" warfare sequences, which make this book stand out from other invasion fare, and from everything else Vance has written. review: 10-Sep-06 (read in 2003) "Cholwell's Chickens" (also as part of "Monsters in Orbit") (Jean Parlier series) © Thrilling Wonder Stories, Aug 1952 Monsters In Orbit, 1965 -- / cool sf story.

    GURPS Third Edition Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure by James L

    GURPS Third Edition Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure By James L. Cambias Introduction Far off in space floats a planet with ale-colored skies… Jack Vance took us there. Vance introduced delighted Earthlings to the people, creatures, and customs of Tschai. It's a world of danger, where humans are ruled and exploited by strange alien races. With Vance's hero Adam Reith as your tour guide, learn the awful secrets of the Chasch, foil the treacherous agents of the Wanek, escape the hunters of the Dirdir, venture into the underworld labyrinth of the Pnume, and meet vivid characters like Traz Onmale, Zap 210, and the appalling Aila Woudiver. GURPS Planet of Adventure lets you plan your own excursions on Tschai. Retrace Adam Reith's footsteps as intrepid scouts for Earth, or play natives of Tschai just trying to survive and make a few sequins. Tschai's depth and variety cry out for a long visit, with time to admire the scenery and get a feel for the place. A talented author like Vance can imply a tremendous amount in just a few sentences. The game designer has to turn those references into rules and complete explanations. He can invent some things, but not too much… the feel of the original novels must shine through. If any errors remain, they are entirely the designer's fault. Some of Tschai's mysteries have been left unsolved. What's the connection among the Pnume, the Phung, and the night-hounds? What are the goals of the Wanek? What will Earth do when it learns about Tschai? Those are for individual GMs to decide.

    New Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for August 2006

    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for August 2006 In just a few days, I’ll be off to the latest edition of Pulpcon, held this year at the Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio. I’ll have two tables at the show and hope to see many of you in attendance. If you’d like to pick up any books that you have on order with me, just let me know. For more information on Pulpcon, please visit their website at http://www.pulpcon.org/ If copies of the Pulpcon program book, The Pulpster, are available for sale, I’ll try to get some. If you’re interested in one, please let me know as soon as possible. Since quantities are usually limited, these will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. In the past, they have cost around $5. As usual, before moving to the new books, I’d like to remind you that I offer a discount of approximately 10% on orders over $20. The prices listed in my catalog are list prices (rounded to whole dollars). So your cost will be about 10% off the prices listed (unless an item is marked “no discount”). There are some books, particularly those from Lulu.com, on which I cannot offer a discount. Shipping is between $2-6, depending on the weight of your order, as long as you are happy getting your order shipped via media mail or bound printed matter. If you prefer UPS or priority mail, shipping will cost more. Shipping outside of the United States will also be more.

    Footnotes in Fiction: a Rhetorical Approach

    FOOTNOTES IN FICTION: A RHETORICAL APPROACH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Edward J. Maloney, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James Phelan, Adviser Professor Morris Beja ________________________ Adviser Professor Brian McHale English Graduate Program Copyright by Edward J. Maloney 2005 ABSTRACT This study explores the use of footnotes in fictional narratives. Footnotes and endnotes fall under the category of what Gérard Genette has labeled paratexts, or the elements that sit above or external to the text of the story. In some narratives, however, notes and other paratexts are incorporated into the story as part of the internal narrative frame. I call this particular type of paratext an artificial paratext. Much like traditional paratexts, artificial paratexts are often seen as ancillary to the text. However, artificial paratexts can play a significant role in the narrative dynamic by extending the boundaries of the narrative frame, introducing new heuristic models for interpretation, and offering alternative narrative threads for the reader to unravel. In addition, artificial paratexts provide a useful lens through which to explore current theories of narrative progression, character development, voice, and reliability. In the first chapter, I develop a typology of paratexts, showing that paratexts have been used to deliver factual information, interpretive or analytical glosses, and discursive narratives in their own right. Paratexts can originate from a number of possible sources, including allographic sources (editors, translators, publishers) and autographic sources— the author, writing as author, fictitious editor, or one or more of the narrators.
