Unimagined paleontological treasures awaited discovery: strange horned mammals, birds with teeth, flying reptiles, gigantic fish, diminutive ancestors of horses and camels, and more than a hundred different kinds of dinosaurs. This exciting book tells the story of the grandest period of fossil discovery in American history, the years from 1750 to 1890.

The Golden Fleece : And the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles (Classic Reprint) Feature

Part I. The Voyage to Colchis
Chapter I. The Youth Jason
A MAN in the garb of a slave went up the side of that mountain that is all covered with forest, the Mountain Pelion. He carried in his arms a little child. When it was full noon the slave came into a clearing of the forest so silent that it seemed empty of all life. He laid the child down on the soft moss, and then, trembling with the fear of what might come before him, he raised a horn to his lips and blew three blasts upon it. Then he waited. The blue sky was above him, the great trees stood away from him, and the little child lay at his feet. He waited, and then he heard the thud-thud of great hooves. And then from between the trees he saw coming toward him the strangest of all beings, one who was half man and half horse; this was Chiron the centaur. Chiron came toward the trembling slave. Greater than any horse was Chiron, taller than any man. The hair of his head flowed back into his horse?s mane, his great beard flowed over his horse?s chest; in his man?s hand he held a great spear...

The Celtic Shelf: First Book of the Golden Allerod Feature

An epic adventure in a savage and thrilling world which may have once been our own, the Celtic Shelf follows the exploits of a small band of prehistoric cave dwellers along the beaches of Western Europe, circa 12,000 BC. A dwarf with an axe made of gold, a warrior with a twisted soul, and the girl who invented the bow and arrow - join them as they seek to outwit, outsmart and escape the dangerous clutches of barbaric hunters who have gone insane with the spirit of the Wendigo and now hunt each other in order to survive. It's a remarkable tale of ingenuity, heroism, love and leadership set against a starkly beautiful landscape.

Worlds of The Golden Queen

Worlds of The Golden Queen Review


See more picture


Worlds of The Golden Queen Feature

Originally published as two books, Worlds of the Golden Queen is a stellar tale of love, adventure, sacrifice, and war set in a fantastic future.

In the first novel, The Golden Queen, the insectoid Dronons have slain the human queen Semarritte, thowing into chaos the ten thousand worlds over which she reigned. Desperate to save mankind, Lord Veriasse, her near-immortal consort, has created a new queen: Everynne, cloned from the dead original. Hotly pursued, Everynne falls in with cocky bodyguard Gallen O'Day; the pious Orick, an intelligent black bear; and the beautiful orphan Maggie Flynn.
With Gallen and the others newly sworn to her service, the young queen begins the great struggle against the aliens. Leaping from world to world via an ancient system of instantaneous transport gates, the heroes face terrible dangers and great wonders as they seek the heart of the dronon worlds, carrying the battle straight to the enemy.
In the second novel, Beyond the Gate, Maggie Flynn has become, by test of combat, the new Golden Queen. Gallen, Maggie, and Orick face an attack by Dronons on a planet where humans have achieved the pinnacle of genetic engineering. They must stop them while guarding the secret of Maggie's whereabouts, for she is only the Golden Queen until her champion, Gallen, is defeated by a Dronon challenger. In the midst of a slam-bang story, Farland raises and examines deep questions of humanity's definition and identity.
