Earth is no longer humanity''s only home. Slowly they have colonised the galaxy, spreading ever outwards into the darkest reaches of Terran space. To some Earth is now a myth, a fairy-tale; stories told to them by their grand parents when they were children. To others the Earth is still the place they call home: a bleak, inescapable fact that must be endured in order to survive. In this exciting collection of stories chronicling the turbulent events of humanity''s struggle for survival six hundred years in our future, some of today''s leading science fiction writers take us from the vast depths of uncharted space to the surface of a shockingly different planet Earth, where civilisation is desperately trying to preserve the last shreds of its human identity.

Three novellas with an alchemical theme, set within Storm Constantine''s Wraeththu Mythos.

The second grimoire in the Dehara series, concerning the Pop Culture magic system inspired by Storm Constantine''s Wraeththu Mythos.

New edition of Storm Constantine''s visionary science fantasy novel. Casmeer is the only living soul left in Thermidore, high atop the mountains of Overhang. So it has been for hundreds of years. Immortal historian and chronicler, Casmeer is the self-appointed keeper of the city''s remains and its crystalline inhabitants. Finnigin is a young terranaut, whose people collect the crystal fragments from Thermidore that wash down from the mountains to use as pilot stones to guide the floating cities across the Flatlands. Finnigin is forced to leave his people on an initiation of manhood, to journey across the plains and confront the mystery of the pilot stones. Ays is a Priest of Hands, a consoler to the dying, in the floating city of Min. His faith shaken by the words of a dying man, he undertakes a journey of his own, and leaves his flying city to face the unknown on the Flatlands. But as both Ays and Finnigin travel throughout their world, they are haunted by a mysterious figure who seems to know more about them than they do themselves. When Ays and Finnigin cross paths, they find their lives linked in ways they could not have imagined. While in Thermidore, Casmeer, the last immortal, has one last chronicle to write. Storm Constantine is a literary fantast of outstanding power and originality. . .Calenture [is] exotic, erotic and packed with surprises. - Michael Moorcock This is fantasy that lives and breathes. . . and leaves the reader a little wiser when the last page is turned. -Locus

Ysbryd drwg... the bad ghost Ysobi har Jesith embarks upon a job far from home, where his history isn''t known - a welcome freedom. Hired by Wyva, the phylarch of the Wyvachi tribe, Ysobi goes to Gwyllion to create a spiritual system based upon local folklore, but he soon discovers some of that folklore is out of bounds, taboo... Secrets lurk in the soil of Gwyllion, and the old house Meadow Mynd, home of the Wyvachi leaders. The house and the land are haunted. The fields are soaked in blood and echo with the cries of those who were slaughtered there, almost a century ago. In Gwyllion, the past doesn''t go away, and the hara who live there cling to it, remembering still their human ancestors. Tribal families maintain ancient enmities, inspired by a horrific murder in the past. Old hatreds and a thirst for vengeance have been awoken by the approaching feybraiha - coming of age - of Wvya''s son, Myvyen. If the harling is to survive, Ysobi must help him confront the past, lay the ghosts to rest and scour the tainted soil of malice. But the ysbryd drwg is strong, built of a century of resentment and evil thoughts. Is it too powerful, even for a scholarly hienama with Ysobi''s experience and skill? The Moonshawl, an artefact of protection, was once fashioned to keep Wyvachi heirs from harm, but the threads are old and worn, the magic fading, and its sacred sites - which might empower it once more - are prohibited. Only by understanding what the shawl symbolises and how it once controlled the ysbryd drwg can Ysobi even attempt to prevent the terrible tragedy that looms to engulf the Wyvachi tribe. ''The Moonshawl'' is a standalone story, set in the world of Storm Constantine''s ground-breaking, science fantasy Wraeththu mythos.

The third volume of Storm''s original Wraeththu trilogy, expanded and updated, with chapter heading illustrations. This final story in the trilogy is narrated by Cal, one of the most complex and mysterious of all the Wraeththu characters. Down on his luck, and haunted by his questionable past, Cal comes to realise he cannot escape his destiny, and that the har he once loved and believed dead is now ruler of all Wraeththu. But those who control Pellaz have rivals, and one of these, the strange Opalexian of the Roselane, a race that includes bizarrely ''female'' Wraeththu, draws Cal to her domain. She seeks to upset the plans of Thiede, the true ruler behind the throne of Wraeththu. From the slums of the debased town of Fallsend, across all the fascinating territories of Jaddayoth, where many Wraeththu tribes have sprung up, to the natural stone towers of Shilalama, city of the Roselane, Cal learns much upon his journey - about himself and about his race. His choice is whether to trust Opalexian and her kind or not; she promises a reunion with Pellaz. But if a har has died and been returned to flesh once more, can he still be the person Cal once loved?

With the impending crises of climate change, scarcity of water, dwindling energy reserves and spiraling global populations, the effective management of our land and the food it produces has never been more relevant. Established in 1938 by a small group of far-seeing and enthusiastic engineers and agriculturalists, the Institution of Agricultural Engineers provides a professional nexus for the scientists, technologists, engineers, and managers working in the many and varied forms of land-based industry. In 2013, to mark their 75th anniversary, the IAgrE have commissioned a book that looks forward at what the future might hold. To help them achieve this, they approached NewCon Press. Looking Landwards attracted submissions from within the UK, from the USA, Australia, mainland Europe, Africa, and Asia; from professional writers and would-be writers, from scientists and engineers who are actively involved in dealing with the book''s themes to people who have simply been inspired by them. Looking Landwards features the very best of these stories. Twenty-three works of science fiction and speculation that dare to look to the future and examine what lies ahead for farming, for agricultural engineering and for all of us.

Pellaz lebt mit seiner Familie abgeschieden auf dem Land. Erst durch Reisende erfährt er, dass die Welt um ihn herum im Verfall begriffen ist. In den Ruinen hat die Menschheit auf mysteriöse Weise eine neue Spezies ausgeprägt - die Wraeththu. Eines Tages taucht ein junger Fremder auf der Farm auf, zu dem sich Pellaz magisch hingezogen fühlt. Am nächsten Morgen bricht er mit ihm auf in ein neues Leben - zu schönen androgynen Wesen, welche die Macht besitzen, Menschen zu ihresgleichen zu transformieren. Doch neben ihnen gibt es auch brutale Stämme, die marodierend durch die Städte ziehen. Liebe, Macht, Intrigen, Gewalt, Magie und der Aufbruch in die sagenhafte Stadt Immanion. Ob als militante Barbaren oder als erleuchtete Nahri-Nuri, eines wird Pellaz klar: Die Wraeththu werden das Gesicht der Welt für immer verändern. Und sein eigenes Schicksal wird entscheidend damit verknüpft sein. Seit "Der Zauber von Fleisch und Geist" und damit die Welt der Wraeththu 1987 erstmals erschien, hat das Buch die Seelen und Herzen von Lesern auf der ganzen Welt erobert.
