  3. The Methuselah Strain by Stuart Aken

    The Methuselah Strain by Stuart Aken

    As the Prime Renegade plans the disabling of automatic systems that support the dwindling human population, she seeks a man to love and to father her child. The usual route of artificial insemination appeals to her about as much as the materialistic and hedonistic philosophy that now drives most people. And, secretly, forces designed to serve mankind develop a sense of superiority that might threaten human survival.

    This science fiction novelette, running to around 26,000 words, is set on Earth some few hundred years in the future. Much has happened to change the planet with which we are familiar, but human beings remain pretty much the mixed-up and flawed creatures we have always been.

    Review quotes;

    'A Top-Notch Futuristic Novella'

    'From the geographical, political, economic and technological changes to the smallest details of everyday life. Aken writes about it all with the confident unhesitating familiarity of one who has lived there.'

    'The ending was a complete surprise. Never saw that coming.'

    'Aken moves us along the story like a symphony conductor, logically and smoothly. There is an interesting and tantalizing twist at the end of the story. I challenge you to figure it out before you put the book down.'

    A really weird thing happens to 11 year old Megan Crewe when she bumps into Jack the old carthorse. 

    She’s too busy to worry about it until she realises what a terrible secret she’s uncovered. 

    Jack is in danger but no one will believe it except her best friend Amy. Their ideas come thick and fast, but nothing works, and as the menace creeps closer, events snowball. 

    There’s a horse in Amy’s mum’s prize greenhouse, a lot of tomato ketchup in places it shouldn’t be, a ton of heavenly chocolate, and the dreadful taste of artificial flowers. 

    In all the chaos, can they save Jack? Or has the danger that stalked the old horse turned its eye on them instead?

  10. Fragments of Joy and Sorrow by Alan Wakeman

    Fragments of Joy and Sorrow by Alan Wakeman

    Introducing: Fragments of Joy and Sorrow - Memoir of a reluctant revolutionary by Alan Wakeman

     

    Has anyone ever written so lightly, so gracefully, of a long life? At odds again and again with prevailing opinion, whether as vegan or pioneer in English-language teaching or participant in Gay Liberation, the late Alan Wakeman lived half his life in Soho, London's famous residential district beside Piccadilly Circus. He tells of his great, tragic love-affair and a later extraordinary friendship with his lover's grown-up American son.

     

    Broken into individual 'fragments' this memoir distils the most exciting, life-changing, heart- breaking and sexuality-affirming moments of Alan's life. Each 'fragment' of raw experience is followed by brief musings based on his nearly eight decades of experience!
