Ian Watson: 75 books

British Science Fiction award winner Ian Watson graces us here with a brilliant new collection of short stories and essays. Though he dazzles the reader with his footwork in the kaleidoscope intensity of his vision, each piece is plainly the work of a master craftsman. Whether he is dealing...

Se Dio provasse a mettersi in contatto con l'umanità non sarebbe facile riconoscerlo. Se poi, andando nell'Aldilà, scoprissimo che Dio è a capo di una Società, sarebbe sorprendente. Come sapere che Gesù, in realtà, aveva un fratello gemello. Ian Watson e Roberto Quaglia si misurano con la divinità...

Every city has its own rhythm, its own beat and character; none more so than Barcelona. To commemorate the 2016 European Science Fiction Convention being held in this historic city, NewCon Press invited many of Spain’s top SF and fantasy authors to join those from Britain, France, and Canada to write...

In another world, somewhere in space and time, two countries - Bellogard and Chorny - are locked in perpetual war, conducted by magic. Each of the main members of the two countries' courts - king, queen, prince, bishop, knight and squire - has their own form of magic, and special ways of moving magically....

Questa raccolta tratta dell’erotismo, più o meno spinto ma non volgare, del sesso visto con ottica olografica e quantistica non necessariamente limitata alla sfera umana, bensì pregna di un respiro polidimensionale, un possedere e farsi possedere dai codici delle matematiche superiori, dalle sfere...

Una sátira sexista sobre androides sexuales que, en su época, ahuyentó a los editores ingleses y que, sin embargo, fue best seller en su publicación en Japón.

"Moon Monsters Launch Attack Against Earth!"The low-budget monster movie is a real guilty pleasure, especially when the monster suit appears to have been made using household items or purchased from a thrift store. You could laugh yourself into a hernia watching a guy in a gorilla costume and diving...

"Kiss Taste Goodbye..."Grindhouses and drive-ins may be lost to nostalgia and legend, but the b-string and basement budget pictures that played them have endured. With their bad acting, drooping mikes and constant mix of day/night shots, you wouldn't call them well-made but there's a strange...
