From transporters to fully functioning androids, science fiction expands our imaginations, spurring us to think about what the future might hold. But what would it take to bring this fictional technology to fruition? Here, in an irresistible analysis, is the real science behind 25 inventions from the most popular sci-fi movies and TV series, presented by Rob Pyle, a NASA insider. Looking at such works as Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, The Terminator, Iron Man, and The Matrix, Rod explains and dissects each concept, from time machines, warp drive, cyborgs, and nanomachines to lightsabers, jet packs, exoskeletons, cloaking devices, and more.

by Oscar Wilde, Ian Edginton & I.N.J. Culbard Oscar Wilde's classic gothic morality play The Picture of Dorian Gray is stunningly re-imagined by writer Ian Edginton. A man, taken by his own beauty, pledges his soul in a desperate bid for eternal youth. But when his wish is granted, things go terribly wrong. A painting of Dorian begins to age in his place, while Dorian himself becomes a dangerous narcissist who destroys everyone standing in his way until the day he is forced to come face to face with the ugliness of his own conscience.

'I was filled with a terrible, single purpose ... to survive!' First serialized a century ago as Under the Moons of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs's planetary romance is recognized today as a genre-bending pulp-fiction classic, more influential even than the Tarzan stories that earned its author fortune and fame. Perhaps the founding text of modern sci-fi, its doomed love story (between the heroic explorer John Carter and Dejah Thoris, 'The Princess of Mars') was the first to imagine the 'green men of the Red Planet!

by Rene Goscinny & Albert Uderzo The last three Asterix stories are collected in one volume for the first time ever! In Asterix and The Actress, we see Asterix and Obelix celebrate their joint birthday party back in the Gaulish village - and some surprise guests have been invited! In Asterix and the Class Act we have the story of the creation of Asterix, including the day Asterix and Obelix were born (in the middle of a village fish fight), how Obelix goes back to school and the bid for the very first Gaulish Olympics. In Asterix and the Falling Sky the Gauls' one fear - that the sky may fall on their heads - looks like it might come true, but our friends soon find themselves in the middle of a space race!
