A YOUNG WARLORD ARISES Arthur, at age fifteen, has won a great battle between British and Saxon forces, seizing the day from his own supreme commander, Ambrosius Aurelianus. This his first battle win inspires the young Arthur to begin his rise to take full control of Britain's armies with the aid of his first cousin, Medraut, the son of Lot, Uthyr's Pendragon's younger brother. Yet Arthur's rise becomes Bedwyr's greatest challenge: Prince Bedwyr, called the Fox, and Arthur's foster-brother, is the narrator of 'The Silurian' series, and it is through his eyes, through his power and passion, that the great saga of Arthur's life in seen and told. Yet life with the charismatic Arthur is not always easy for the Fox-for Arthur is a challenge in himself. And when Arthur's power rises, Bedwyr's life begins a downward slide into rebellion, and he leaves on a lone path of confusion to fight his inner demons, to find who he really is as his great friend and foster-brother rises higher and higher-high enough for the young Arthur to face his own father, Uthyr, in battle for the right to fly the Red Dragon banner of the Pendragon Warlords. Arthur's battles will one day make Bedwyr the Fox a hero, if only he can stand firm as Arthur's first man, his shield-bearer and brother-in-arms; stand to tell the tale of The Silurian in his own passionate words.

Secord gives a dazzlingly detailed account of this scientific trench warfare and its social consequences. One ends up with a marvellous feeling for the major taxonomic enterprises in Darwin's younger day: mapping, ordering, conquering 'taming the chaos" of the strata. All of these of course had social and imperial ramifications; and Secord mentions geology's moral appeal (in supporting a divinely-stratified Creation) to a beleaguered elite intent on subduing the lower orders. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

The Silurian Tales Volume 1 The 400-Million-Year Itch, Volume 1 of The Silurian Tales, represents the first volume of a master work by one of the SF genre's greatest short story writers. The stories in Steven Utley's Silurian Tales have appeared in Asimov's, Analog, SciFiction, F&SF, and Cosmos, and have been beguiling readers with glimpses of prehistoric life since the mid-1990s. These tales have been described by Brian Stableford in Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia as " t]he most elaborate reconstruction of a past era in recent speculative fiction." The series employs a variety of literary techniques in recounting the adventures and misadventures of a scientific expedition in the Paleozoic Era and also address some implications of the "many-worlds" hypothesis in quantum physics; several of the stories have been reprinted in Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthologies and the Year's Best SF edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer.

On a school science trip to watch the test firing of a new particle accelerator, Arn is caught up in an accident that propels him into an extraordinary new world.

An epic story of a forgotten hero. Scorned by an ungrateful kingdom, unfairly blaming him for the demise of their beloved Queen, Silurian Mintaka decides he can't fight for his kingdom anymore. To re-enter the hostile fray of his peers would probably end up with him killing them all. An old man reaches through his darkness, convincing him the people's need outweighs his loathing of them. Befriending a few eccentric characters along the way, Silurian faces a whirlwind of drastic choices, that once made, may lead to the deaths of those he is entrusted to protect. Embarking upon the greatest journey of their lives, they travel the uncharted waters of the Niad Ocean; not across, but beneath, on a fool's errand to recover the lost enchantment of his fabled blade.
