The John Wycliffe Translation of the Holy Bible: Old Testament

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 09:07:07 CST

John Wycliffe

Here is John Wycliffe's greatest accompliment: the translation of the Bible into English.

Working from contemporary manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate, he sought “no strange English” but only the easiest, most common — albeit the most Latin-like — language possible. (Latin constructions and word order were preserved even where...

Conquest of Earth

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:57:54 CST

Manly Banister

No human being had ever seen the Trisz, not even so much as a picture of them. They looked as the name sounds — Trisz, their appearance as illusive as wind rippling water. Yet the Trisz had conquered Earth and its peoples in generations past, and no one could escape their ever-watchful presence.

No one except the Scarlet Order of Men, the one planet-wide organization that Earth's elusive masters tolerated. Only the most favored of the People could enter the Institute, as children, to undergo...

Wallace West

In the dim past men had fled to Mars for refuge, but now the red planet was a dying world and the Martians returned to colonize and rule over the Titans — descendants of those who had stayed behind at the time of the now-legendary catastrophe.

Mission to A Star

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:00:48 CST

Frank Belknap Long

It began with the sighting of the Scorpion ships in the new 400-inch reflecting telescope on Mount Palomar. The ships landed on Earth to disgorge aliens quite indistinguishable from human beings, except that they were all apparently equal to the genius level of human beings. And, all were in perfect physical condition.

They came in peace, they said. Their leader spoke to a plenary session of the United Nations — nations truly united now in the face of what might be a threat to all the...

He might have added that he was a refugee from Derek Calver, the mistakes he had made, the opportunities he had thrown away, the dreams that had been lost. And there, aboard...

Aliens from Space

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:38:09 CST

David Osborne

It started off like an ordinary day for Dr. Jeffrey Brewster, assistant professor of psycho-sociology at Columbia University. He'd been six weeks old when the first crude satellites were flung into space back in 1957. During his childhood there had been Moon rockets and the space stations — then the joint American-Russian-manned expedition to the Moon in 1965, right after the collapse of the Soviet dictatorship. Mars and Venus had been reached as he grew up and a permanent base was established...

The Man with Three Eyes

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:03:40 CST

E.L. Arch

They were a strange lot, the residents at Mrs. Mumble's boardinghouse — her name wasn't "mumble," but that was what people did when they tried to pronounce it — and you might call the place a miniature United Nations. There was Yusef Afifi, Afghan, an importer; Fritz Holtzer, advertising model; Johnny Jones, Welshman; Oonalak, an Alaskan Eskimo; Chien Wang, a refugee from Hong Kong; a beautiful Ethiopian woman, whom they all called Sheba; an equally lovely girl, Eufemia Rosario, who claimed to...

Star Ways

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:24:07 CST

Poul Anderson

There was Joachim, captain of the Nomad star ship Peregrine, and ruler of the Peregrine clan. There were also all the ship’s officers and crew and their entire families. Bound to no world, the better part of their lives spent on the great ships, the Nomads were something like the gypsies who once roamed the lands of Earth, and something like the Vikings who once fared Earth’s seas — but different from any human society known before.

Once a year, the captains of the Nomad ships met at their...
