Packed with colour stills and other images, here are the most epic episodes from the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. A big glossy softback Titan publication in which interviews were originally printed in Star Trek Magazine, some of which date back almost 20 years. Where no man has gone before, we speed through space and recollect the Doomsday Machine, Operation Annihilate, Three is A Magic Number: Kirk, Spock, McCoy. There is a Gene L. Coon tribute, a Khan Noonien Singh profile, a look at Kirk and Picard, the making of The Next Generation, and interviews with Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, D. C. Fontana, Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and other luminaries. The collection explores such classics as 'Space Seed', 'The City on the Edge of Forever', 'Yesterday's Enterprise', and 'When the Cast Gets Naked', of which the cast had a low opinion of the episode. Captain Kirk finds true love in 'The Paradise Syndrome', one of the most heart-breaking voyages of the original Enterprise which provides an interesting twist on Hodgkin's theory as an outside influence actively moves an entire culture to another world without its knowledge. The mission seems simple enough - use the Enterprise's deflector beam to save a Class-M planet from an approaching asteroid. But on the planet they discover a village impossibly populated by a tribe of Native Americans from Earth. Recall dozens of classic episodes and images from both generations in this beautifully produced big album of 176 pages. Extra large sized softback, glossy colour images.

Among zillions of Dr Who books, this one stands out as being one of the most original, showcasing artwork created by 100 fans illustrating Dr Who stories from the First to the Twelfth Doctor. The Time Lord has been travelling across the galaxies in the Tardis for thousands of years, but we start in 1963 when two teachers follow their mysterious pupil Susan home and instead find themselves inside the Tardis. A superb facial close-up dominates the accompanying illustration by Kevin Parrish, with the Tardis itself and the school in the background. Still in the same series, the Daleks are encountered for the first time on the planet Skaro, living in protective metal survival machines after a nuclear incident, and realised in an impressive design by Wayne Whited. A number of illustrations focus on the war machines, particularly Wotan, the universal problem solver and self aware thinking device masterminded by Professor Brett. There are depictions of the continuing Antarctica Adventure, and a selection of brilliant illustrations of the Thals and Kaleds at war in an irreversible cycle of mutation, closely followed by the terror of the Zygons. With the Fourth Doctor the Skarasen known as the Loch Ness Monster, a huge armoured cyborg, is revealed, and the Fifth Doctor lands the Tardis on earth in the 26th century, only to be pitted against the cybermen, effectively illustrated in their metallic blankness. Later that year the Doctor manages to land the ship in the Dalek territory of London's docklands, and there is an accomplished drawing of the genetically engineered human Stien who accompanies the Doctor into the time corridor. The Sixth Doctor, with Peri, visits Britain's industrial revolution, and the Tenth Doctor accompanied by Rose discovers a parallel version of earth while millions of Daleks are released from the Genesis Ark. Clara and the Twelfth Doctor meet Robin Hood and the story brings us to 2017 with Bill as his new companion. 208pp, full-page illustrations, most in colour, on every double spread, list of contributors.

Nearly 70 years before men first walked on the Moon, Herbert George Wells (born 1866) was exploring what might be awaiting them here in this novel published in 1900. In one of the earliest works of science fiction, he brings to life the joys of space travel and humanity's boundless curiosity when penniless businessman Bedford moves to Kent to write a play and meets the mad scientist who is developing an antigravity metal. The businessman Mr Bedford and the scientist Mr Cavor make their way to the Moon and discover a race of intelligent insect-like creatures called 'Selenites'. Explaining his ideas through flight of pure fancy such as 'antigravity' rather than strict scientific reasoning, the book was criticised by contemporaries like Jules Verne, yet the joy of adventure and the unbridled curiosity of the human spirit he presents have entertained readers for more than a century. 272pp in new full price paperback.

Lovecraft's tales of cosmic horror and the unknown have had a significant impact on the genre and continue to inspire horror writers today. In "Horrors Unveiled," acclaimed author H. P. Lovecraft weaves a tapestry of supernatural dread and cosmic horror that has captured the imaginations of readers for generations. This collection brings together four of Lovecraft's most iconic works: "The Dunwich Horror," "The Call of Cthulhu," "The Hound," and "The Lurking Fear." Each story delves into the darkest corners of human existence, unveiling an intricate web of malevolent forces, ancient terrors, and the fragile boundaries of reality. "The Dunwich Horror" introduces us to the rural town of Dunwich, where whispers of unspeakable rituals and otherworldly secrets shroud the land in a foreboding aura. An otherworldly entity threatens to break through the barriers that separate dimensions, bringing unimaginable destruction to an already enigmatic landscape. "The Call of Cthulhu" stands as a cornerstone of Lovecraft's mythos, revealing a vast and ancient entity that lies dormant beneath the sea, waiting to be awakened. Through fragmented accounts and unsettling narratives, the story paints a grim picture of humanity's insignificance in the face of cosmic forces, while the haunting refrain of "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" echoes like a distant nightmare. "The Hound" takes readers on a journey into the forbidden realms of necromancy and forbidden knowledge. With a focus on themes of obsession and the consequences of tampering with the unknown, Lovecraft crafts a tale of escalating horror that culminates in a chilling revelation that defies sanity. "The Lurking Fear" casts a spotlight on the grotesque and the macabre, transporting us to a decaying Catskill mansion haunted by unspeakable horrors. Lovecraft's mastery of atmosphere and suspense builds an atmosphere of constant dread, exploring the darkest corners of human fear. 107 page paperback.

A Pictorial History of the Spaceship in Art, Science and Literature, a 1993 rare imported edition with a foreword by Arthur C Clarke. This solid, encyclopaedic chronological volume on spaceship design will be a sheer delight to anyone whose pulse quickens at the latest news from NASA. Covering space travel concepts from 360 BC to 1994 AD, the author provides diagrams, specifications and background to history's major schemes for conquering space. Airborne adventure began in 360 BC when Archytas of Tarentum constructed a model pigeon which was made to fly by the reaction of steam or compressed air escaping from holes in its tail. In 150 AD Ptolemy described the sun and planets as orbiting round the earth, and ten years later the first novel of inter-planetary travel appeared. The middle ages saw the creation of steam- or dynamite-powered rockets, and in 1623 a probably apocryphal story describes a manned rocket flight over the Bosporus. Cyrano be Bergerac's fictional journey to the moon followed a few years later. In 1828 a famous cartoon depicted a man on a rocket-propelled flight with Heath-Robinson-style accompaniments and in 1865 Jules Verne published the space travel classic novel From the Earth to the Moon, with mathematical calculations and convincing diagrams. With the 20th century hundreds of space ships were first imagined and then made a reality. Hermann Oberth's Model E formed the basis for the spaceship Friede in Fritz Lang's 1929 motion picture Frau im Mond. In 1939 the British Interplanetary Society concluded a 2-year engineering study of a manned moon landing, based on hexagonal honeycomb clusters of individual rockets, and in 1949 the Canadian Rocket society planned a moon landing by 1960. The first manned space flight in 1961 ushered in the era of the Apollos, the Space Shuttle and finally the Mars-Mission proposals. 714pp, very well illustrated with dreamy line art and etchings, cutaways, magazine articles reproduced from 30s to the 90s, diagrams and black and white photos and interesting appendices on US and Soviet launch vehicles by size, Energia and Buran. Index, 22 x 28.5 cm.

'Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are. They nest in Time. They make the flesh that holds fast and binds eternity.' 'Is Death important? No. everything that happens before Death is what counts.' 'Evil has only the power that we give it. I give you nothing. I take back. Starve. Starve. Starve.' For over 70 years Ray Bradbury inspired generations of readers to dream, think and create with his close to 50 books. Now reprinted in this Gollancz Fantasy Masterworks paperback with an introduction by Michael Dirda, we can enjoy once again Bradbury's most poignant evocation of the hopes and frustrations of smalltown life, in a timeless rite-of-passage book. It's the week before Halloween, and Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois. The siren song of the calliope entices all with promises of youth regained and dreams fulfilled. As the two boys trembling on the brink of manhood set out to explore the mysteries of the dark carnival's smoke, mazes and mirrors, they will also discover the true price of innermost wishes. The novel describes late October so well you can almost smell the woodsmoke and Mr Dark is the perfect villain among the assorted freaks of the carnival and the menagerie of ghouls. 262pp, paperback.
