MIDNIGHT AT THE WELL OF SOULS by Jack L. Chalker

ISBN 978-1-61242-179-7, 357 Pages, Trade Paperback 6” x 9”

Welcome to the Well World: a construct of an ancient defunct race known as the Markovians. The Well World acts both as the controller of and the gateway to 1560 worlds created by the Markovians at the end of their time.

Nathan Brazil is a starship captain carrying passengers and cargo from planet to planet. Answering a distress call, he (with others) is suddenly transported to the Well World by a hidden gate.

There Nathan Brazil must stop mysterious forces from taking control of the Well World, and through the Well World, the universe. But to do so, he must deal with bizarre transformations which have changed people into centaurs, mermaids and giant insects. In this strange land, inhabited by these strange transformed creatures, who are his friends, and who are his enemies? And what about his own memories, which seem to have been deeply suppressed?

OVER THE WINE-DARK SEA by Harry Turtledove

 ISBN 978-1-61242-140-7   340 Pages, Trade Paperback 6” x 9”

Menedemos, the young dashing sea captain, and his helper, the scholarly Sostratos, are sea-traders from the Greek island of Rhodes. Fearless sailors, they will travel any distance to make a profit or to search for rich treasures.

While they trade in fineries such as wine and silk (and even - to the chagrin of many - peacocks), they live in dangerous times with pirates, thieves and barbarians. Even if avoiding death by the hands of these miscreants isn't enough (particularly the barbarians from an obscure town called Rome), they are also caught between the political intrigues of Alexander's former generals.

From the io9 article, 10 Books You Pretend to Have Read (And Why You Should Really Read Them)

“I don’t understand why it isn’t acknowledged as a Great American SF novel — probably because all those people who have said they’ve read it haven’t,” says Nicola Griffith, author of Hild, Stay,Ammonite and Always. “The opening third reads like a King James Bible for the American myth: sure, rhythmic, and implacable.”

Adds Griffith, “This is a Bildungsroman, but because Brackett’s ambition was huge, she chose for her setting a post-nuclear Ruined Earth. She aimed for no less than the first serious science fiction novel of character. In the 1950s, this book must have turned its readers inside out like a sock. It wouldn’t surprise me to discover it was a formative influence on the young Carl Sagan, the seed of Saganism: the notion that spacefaring nations would be rare because they would tend towards destruction before they escaped the gravity of their planet.The Long Tomorrow is a brilliant piece of work — not perfect; Brackett was a product of her time, with all the cultural problems inherent in that caveat — but an amazing leap forward for the genre.”

One of the original novels of post-nuclear-holocaust America, The Long Tomorrow is considered by many to be one of the finest science fiction novels ever written on the subject. The story has inspired generations of new writers and is still as mesmerizing today as when it was originally written.

Len and Esau are young cousins living decades after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization as we know it. The rulers of the post-war community have forbidden the existence of large towns and consider technology evil.

However, Len and Esau long for more than their simple agrarian existence. Rumors of mythical Bartorstown, perhaps the last city in existence, encourage the boys to embark on a journey of discovery and adventure that will call into question not only firmly held beliefs, but the boys' own personal convictions.
