The Martian Tales Trilogy


Edgar Rice Burroughs - 2003
    In the first installment, Carter wins the affections of the "princess of Mars" and the respect of the Martian warlords whom he befriends. The excitement continues in The Gods of Mars when Carter engages the Black Pirates in airborne combat above the dead seas of Mars and leads a revolt to free the Martian races from a religion that thrives on living sacrifices. In the third book, Warlord of Mars, Carter overcomes the forces of evil that would destroy the planet. By the end of the trilogy the Martians all clamor for a triumphant John Carter to be their king.About the Author:Born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 1, 1875, Edgar Rice Burroughs grew to maturity during the height of the Industrial Revolution and witnessed the emergence of the United States as a twentieth-century world power. Hailing from a well-to-do family, Burroughs was given an aristocratic education steeped in Latin and Greek, but he was drawn more to an itinerant life of adventure than to a life in the boardroom. The author of Tarzan of the Apes (1912), Burroughs did not confine himself to a single genre; he also wrote medieval romances (The Outlaw of Torn, 1914), westerns (The War Chief of the Apaches, 1927), and mainstream novels (The Girl from Hollywood, 1922).

The Chronicles of Conan, Volume 1: Tower of the Elephant and Other Stories


Roy Thomas - 2003
    Howard's Conan the Barbarian exploded on to the comics scene. Writer Roy Thomas teamed with a young artist named Barry Smith, and together the two mapped out some of the most stirring and memorable Conan adventures to come along since those written by Howard himself.

Featuring completely remastered color and text corrections, and containing material not available for nearly thirty years.

Graveyard Rats and Others


Robert E. Howard - 2003
    Howard came into the fiction magazine scene virtually on Dashell Hammett's heels. By that time Howard was a full-fledged professional writer; he was willing to try any marketplace to make a living. Despite an aversion to the detective formula, he wrote the tales in Graveyard Rats during the same years he chronicled the adventures of Conan. This collection features a new introduction by scholar Don Herron, editor of "The Dark Barbarian," the definitive look at the life and work of Robert E. Howard.

Karmesin: The World's Greatest Criminal -- Or Most Outrageous Liar


Gerald Kersh - 2003

Wholly Smokes


John Sladek - 2003
    Like many of Sladek's earlier books, Wholly Smokes is almost impossible to categorize, other than to say it is the fictionalized history of a tobacco company, one which seems to have been present at, or had bizarre influence on, many of the great moments of history.

Gorilla Warfare (Feng Shui)


John Seavey - 2003
    If these fanatical saboteurs get their way, the history of the world will no longer be subject to the forces of feng shui and all chi will be burned from the planet. To the Jammers, destiny is dug from the rubble of revolution and the course of history always goes boom! Atlas Games announces Gorilla Warfare, the first no-holds-barred excursion into the secret, underground lairs of the Jammers, from the demon-infested past of 69 A.D. to the dystopian tomorrow of the Buro. The Jammers hold sway over no single era but instead charge screaming from the Netherworld into any time frame. Now, with technologically altered soldiers, spies, and informants positioned underneath every major front in the Secret War, the Jammers are ready to ignite the fuels of rebellion and blow the Secret War wide open. Gorilla Warfare examines the bombs, bunkers, tactics, and mechanized apes that make up the Jammers. Inside, you'll find the resources that players and GMs need to bring the noise to their own Feng Shui games: new platoons of simian soldiers, from submersible units to aerial units; the Ape Factory, where new Jammers are made; the all-new hardware schticks, so you too can be horribly mutiliated in the name of military superiority; and battle-plans for the next stage of Jammer operations all over the globe. Whether you work with the Jammers or against them, this book gives you access to the bomb before it goes off.

Thorns of the Lotus (Feng Shui)


Rich Warren - 2003
    This book describes Gao Zhang, mastermind of the Lotus, and his emasculated co-conspirators, their organization, minions, plans and operations in other junctures, and their own documents and teachings ... as well as featuring running commentary from outside observers. Not a eunuch? Don't worry; you don't have to pay the price of Lotus admission to use this book's creature powers, sorcery schticks, character types, and a ready-to-play adventure!

Roscoes in the Night


Robert Leslie Bellem - 2003
    This volume includes 13 never before reprinted gems, spanning nearly two decades of rough and tumble adventures. Bellem's writing style was filled with colorful euphemisms and similes. It's this writing style that gives Turner his greatest appeal. Each story comes complete with the original spot illustrations that showed the meaning of Spicy in the original pulp magazine that published these stories, Spicy Detective. A real page-turner from beginning to end, Roscoes In The Night is destined to be a favorite of the pulp fans.
