Fairy Tale, Fantasy & Science Fiction
| Fantastic realms of the imagination beckon. The expanse of space holds adventures and discoveries as numerous as the stars. Eternal truths are revealed in wondrous tales simple enough for a child to grasp. The genres of fantasy and science fiction flourished (and degenerated) during the past century, but have their roots in the classic tales that fill the Western canon. These small press books attempt to revive the traditional mix of great imaginative literature with Christian morality. |

Niamh and the Hermit
A Fairy Tale
by Emily C. A. Snyder
"Niamh and the Hermit a beautifully written, morally sound, thoughtful, compelling and entertaining book. Emily Snyder ... has created the world of the 'Twelve Kingdoms', shadowed in Celtic mythology, but guided by Christian morals and traditions, in which to novelize one of the world's great fairy tales. It's difficult to do justice to this sort of book after only one reading, but I was very impressed with the beautiful writing, rich vocabulary, subtleties of humor and truth and the thoughtful lessons, characters and trials that make up the plot."

Warriors of the Light
Part II of the Starman Saga
by Michael D. Cooper
In this second volume of the Starman saga, the Starmen choose to confront the evil of their time. Their adventures take them into the rings of Saturn where a secret had been concealed more than twelve millenia earlier, across the galaxy to a neon planet, and eventually to their enemy's home planet in a star cluster so bright that night cannot exist. Without knowing what the challenge will cost, they nonetheless set out with dedication and courage to bring the series to its stunning climax. This compilation volume includes the second half of the fifth novel (The Lost Race of Mars) as well as the entirety of the sixth, seventh and eighth novels (Doomsday Horizon, The Heart of Danger, and The Last Command). This volume also includes three short stories, a glossary, illustrations, and appendices.
