Every object tells a story. From ancient urns and medieval flasks to sonic screwdrivers and glass Daleks, these 100 objects tell the story of the entire universe, and the most important man in it: the Doctor. Each item has a unique tale of its own, whether it's a fob watch at the onset of the Great War or a carrot growing on the first human colony on Mars. Taken together, they tell of empires rising and falling, wars won and lost, and planets destroyed and reborn. A History of the Universe in 100 Objects is an indispensible guide to the most important items that have ever existed, or that are yet to exist. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

A unique, insider's view of the world's longest-running science fiction series, from one of the fans' favorite companions. David Tennant's foreword caps this warm, witty memoir, a fitting tribute to a woman who will be sadly missed by legions of fans. When Elisabeth Sladen first appeared as plucky journalist Sarah Jane Smith in the 1973 Doctor Who story 'The Time Warrior,' little did she know the character would become one of the most enduring and fondly remembered in the series' history. Funny, ridiculous, insightful, and entertaining, hers is the story of another girl, another planet, completed just months before she died. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark receives a battered envelope, sent eight years earlier, containing a set of instructions and a letter with a simple message: 'You can save her.' Later that night, Mark glances at a security monitor, only to see himself - and behind him a stone statue of an angel, covering its eyes as if weeping. Yet, when Mark turns, there's nothing to see. As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it's up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using history itself as a weapon.

Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered in a suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs, while she struggles to protect her own secrets.

This handsomely produced volume tells the story of Steampunk, which began in the 1980s as a pop culture movement inspired by pioneering science fiction tales that came out of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Steampunk, with its nostalgia for devices and inventions of the nineteenth century, soon evolved into an international lifestyle movement. The Steampunk Gazette chronicles the origins and development of that subculture, using an old-fashioned illustrated newspaper-style design that reflects Steampunk's retro aesthetic.

From the creator of Hellboy, an illustrated novella that brings Twilight Zone originality to the written page. In the aftermath of a World War II battle, Father Gaetano is assigned as the sole priest at the Church of San Domenico in the small, seaside Sicilian village of Tringale, and its rectory has been converted into an orphanage. The children have lost much in the war, and many have begun to question their faith. Gaetano's attempts to teach them the catechism are in vain, until he finds an old puppet theatre in the basement. The puppets seem the perfect tool to get the children to pay attention to their lessons. But after dark the puppets emerge from that ornate box, without their strings. While the children have questioned their faith, the puppets believe Father Gaetano's Bible stories completely! (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
