The Green Odyssey is an adventure story, involving an astronaut named Alan Green stranded on a primitive planet, where he is claimed as a gigolo by a duchess and is married to a slave woman. Upon hearing of two other stranded astronauts, he escapes from the duchess, and sets sail to find them. However, because of the peculiar geography of the planet, there is a vast expansive plain, instead of an ocean to cross. Green uses a ship equipped with large rolling pin-like wheels along the bottom to traverse the plains of this world.

Language: English. Brand new Book. Philip José Farmer's Up from the Bottomless Pit, originally written in the late 1970s with the working title The Dragon's Breath, is a near-mainstream novel about the ultimate ecological nightmare. Set in an alternate/near future 1970s, Up from the Bottomless Pit tells of a world so ravenous in its desire for oil that it has thrown caution to the wind. Using an experimental deep-water laser drill off the California coast, humankind burns a hole through the ocean floor only to unleash a deadly torrent that initially threatens the greater Los Angeles area, but quickly escalates to a catastrophe of worldwide proportions with the potential to wipe out all life on the planet.The novel wasn't quite what Del Rey was looking for at the time, so Phil instead turned in Dark is the Sun (set fifteen billion years in the future). Fast forward to 2005 and the team here at Meteor House was launching the fanzine Farmerphile: The Magazine of Philip José Farmer. We serialized the novel over the first 10 quarterly issues between 2005 and 2007. At $11 per issue, it cost over $100 to read the novel. In 2007, Subterranean Press published Up from the Bottomless Pit and Other Stories, collecting all of Phil's material from Farmerphile in a deluxe limited edition of only 250 copies. But, at $125, it again cost over $100 to read this book.This is the Farmer novel you've heard about but never got to read! Now, available for the first time ever in a trade paperback edition, featuring cover art by Keith Howell, a foreword by Farmerphile editor Christopher Paul Carey, and an introduction by award winning environmental writer Sharman Apt Russell!

Language: English. Brand new Book. "Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands." --Sir Richard Francis BurtonSir Richard Francis Burton, the protagonist of Philip José Farmer's To Your Scattered Bodies Go, had even more adventures in real life than he did in fiction. His exploits include journeying to Mecca in disguise, at a time when Europeans were forbidden access on pain of death; publishing unexpurgated English translations of One Thousand and One Nights and The Kama Sutra; and, along with John Hanning Speke, was one of the first Europeans to visit the Great Lakes of Africa in search of the source of the Nile. Burton was a captain in the army of the East India Company and later served briefly in the Crimean War. He was engaged by the Royal Geographical Society to explore the east coast of Africa, where he led an expedition guided by locals and was the first European known to have seen Lake Tanganyika. He served as British consul in Fernando Pó, Santos in Brazil, Damascus, and finally in Trieste. He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was awarded a knighthood in 1886. This biography by Farmer opens in 1855, when Burton was thirty-four years old and on the expedition searching for the source of the Nile. Written for a men's magazine in 1953, but not used, the manuscript languished in obscurity until it was finally published in 2006 in the collection Pearls from Peoria, edited by Paul Spiteri.Published for the first time here in an affordable standalone edition, featuring cover and interior art by Charles Berlin, introductory material by Mick Walton (author of Sir Richard Burton and His Circle), Mark Hodder (author of the Burton and Swinburne novels) and Paul Spiteri (co-author, with Farmer, of "Getting Ready to Write"), A Rough Knight for the Queen is Farmer's loving biography of one of his heroes.
