Sinossi

Meet the iconic space outlaw who “could be Han Solo’s grandfather,” in these stories by a pioneer of Golden Age science fiction (SF Signal).   First published in Weird Tales in the early 1930s, C.L. Moore’s Northwest Smith stories, especially “Shambleau,” were hailed as some of the most imaginative and vivid science fiction stories ever to come out of the golden age of sci-fi. At a time when women were heavily underrepresented in the genre, Moore was among the first to gain critical and popular acclaim, and decades later was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.   Northwest Smith, now recognized by many as the archetypal space smuggler and gunslinger, is an adventurer in the classic sense of the word, and these thirteen stories chronicle the bizarre dangers, interstellar wonders, and titillating romances that captured the imagination of a generation.

    Navigating the intricacies of life and self-identity is an eternal quest that literature often delves into, but rarely do we come across a book that so profoundly captures this voyage with such ethereal elegance as Maya Realm's "Roam Within: Macallah and the White World of Light." 
    From the outset, Realm pulls us into Macallah's enigmatic world—a blend of the familiar and the fantastical, wrapped in luminous prose and intricate narrative layers. As Macallah embarks on her journey towards self-discovery, we find ourselves taken along, feeling each emotion, traversing each trial, and rejoicing in every triumph. The book operates not just as a story, but as a mirror reflecting the universal complexities of the human experience. Issues of identity, purpose, and relational dynamics are tackled with both sensitivity and insight, giving readers ample food for introspection. 
    It's a rare novel that urges readers to pause, reflect, and perhaps even reassess their own trajectories, and "Roam Within" does this effortlessly. 
    Nevertheless, "Roam Within: Macallah and the White World of Light" stands as a literary beacon, illuminating the intricacies of the soul. Maya Realm has not just penned a novel; she has crafted a spiritual journey. Dive in, and you might just find reflections of your own soul shimmering in Macallah's world of light. A resounding triumph in contemporary literature!

    Please Remember. This is not an ordinary sci-fi novel, nor a graphic novel. 
    Ten Years ago, a certain law was passed by the high council that made the very existence of the Megatrons, the most advanced family of robots, illegal. Thus, commencing an era where humans began hunting down their own creations without mercy. 
    Jun Cason, the protagonist of this world far into the future is sentenced to death for committing one of the worst crimes of recent times. While drowning in depression and awaiting his death, one day a strange man visits him and makes him an offer: spend the last two weeks of your life in this tiny jail cell or live for one week as a free man; only catch is, you’d have to go to that mysterious place in the galaxy where living things die of unknown reasons for our research project. Finding a tiny ray of hope in the darkness, Jun accepts the offer. 
    On his last day as a free man, Jun witnesses a very cruel public execution of the megatrons while being out on the streets. Megatrons resembles human beings. So, when he sees a teenage megatron girl getting violently killed right in front of him, his sense of justice arises and he ends up saving the girl’s lover, a megatron teenager named Nixon. Out of gratitude, Nixon attempts to save Jun from the peril that awaits him in the outer space, but ends in failure. 
    How could Jun ever hope to survive the Obion planet clusters where the deadly aliens lurk? After learning the conspiracy and the corruption of the high council who rules the world, would he be willing to assist the revolutionaries and help them by committing the same crime that got him a death sentence once again? 
    Follow along as Jun faces one perilous trail after another and rises against the most powerful super computer humanity has ever built, the terrible tyrant Keygen Computer!
