"Buffalo are coming!"This was the message that the Comanche medicine man spread through the tribes of the Plains Indians. And when they arrived it would be a sign for every brave, no matter what his nation, to rise and drive the hated white eyes from the land.Dusty Fog, Mark Counter, Waco and the Ysabel Kid had been sent to persuade the Kweharehnuh to join the other Comanche bands on the reservation. But if the medicine man's prediction came true, then not only would their mission fail, but blood—both red and white—would be shed throughout the west ...

Colsec 02 - The Caves of Klydor

Colsec 02 - The Caves of Klydor

Douglas Hill

Douglas Hill

A broad river swept smoothly along under the hot orange sun of the planet Klydor. The land on either side lay silent and uninhabited. Then around a bend in the river came a crude raft, carrying five young people from Earth. All five had been exiled to Klydor by ColSec, a section of the harshly authoritarian Organization, which had ruled Earth since the “Virus Decades.” They were to found a colony or perish. And perish they nearly had. Their spaceship had crash-landed, but these five survived. Now, with limited supplies and only the weapons they had made, they were exploring, searching for a place to build a colony—not for ColSec but for themselves.One piece of equipment that had stayed relatively intact was Guide, a data-storage computer that had come to be almost a sixth member of the group. And Guide gave them a piece of frightening news: it had picked up a signal from this new region of Klydor—a signal that could come only from an Earth spacecraft. It had to mean that ColSec agents were on Klydor.But who it really is in that spacecraft, and why they are there, turns out to be even more startling and frightening. The young people find themselves embroiled in a new battle for survival, which also has at stake the continuation of a rebel uprising against the Organization. In this action-packed sequel to Exiles of ColSec, Douglas Hill once again proves himself a master of spine-tingling, fast-paced science fiction.

Jitterbug Perfume

Jitterbug Perfume

Tom Robbins

Literature & Fiction

Jitterbug Perfume is an epic. Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn’t conclude until nine o’clock tonight (Paris time). It is a saga, as well. A saga must have a hero, and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god. If the liquid in the bottle actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon because it is leaking and there is only a drop or two left. From the Trade Paperback edition.
