Requirements: ePUB Reader, 461 KB
Overview: M.A. Foster is an American author whose writing career spanned only a decade, but during that time he published eight books of a high standard. His work is characterized by an attention to cultural and linguistic detail which is reminiscent of the works of Jack Vance. Sadly these books have been out of print for many years, but all eight have now been lovingly restored to bring these little-known gems to the wider audience they deserve.
Genre: Science Fiction
Waves. Fraesch arrived on the planet Mulcahedn to replce a missing scientist at Halcyon Station. That was the name of the very isolated and weirdly constructed laboratory of Speculations, Inc. What was going on there was not clear — but Fraesch suspected that it had to do with immortality drugs. So di the owners of the planet, a Russian-Turkish combine, who were shadowing Fraesch from the moment of his arrival. When Fraesch realised that his predecessor had vanished without trace and that he was surely going to be next, the situation begain to assume its true ominous color. Long life or not, the next wave of the unknown was slated to wash him out — and the station — as well…
Owl Time. "This book is several things, but first let me say that it isn’t: it isn’t an anthology of reprinted material… It is four short novels, three of which were written especially for this publication… This is a package, a concept album, and an experiment in publishing. Each of these stories included here is an exercise in using my plots, themes, notions and characters in styled settings which intentionally suggest the manner of older writers whom I have admired along the way. The process is much like learning music—you have to learn the licks and runs of others before you can learn to make your own unique sounds.
* The Man Who Loved Owls is intended to suggest J. G. Ballard.
* Leanne is after the manner of Ray Bradbury — or Harlan Ellison. Take your pick.
* The Conversation is intended to reflect a mix of Jorge Borges, Vladimir Nabokov, and Franz Kafka.
* Entertainment follows the excellent example of Jack Vance.
