Sinopsis

A Hero of Venus If you ever make a trip to the green planet of Venus, the first thing you'll see will be the fifty-foot high statue of Venus' greatest hero. It stands on the very top of towering New Plymouth Rock at the edge of the old colony of New Plymouth. Even from the rocket cradle, anyone can tell that the statue is of a twelve-year-old boy smiling up at the Venusian jewel bear perched on his shoulder. Cut into the huge rock below the statue are the words, "Virgil Dare (Johnny) Watson
And the Marva, Baba.
May their Friendship Endure!"
Virgil Dare Watson, called Johnny by his friends, was the first human being born on Venus. He was named after Virginia Dare, the first pioneer child born in North America, and for a long time he was the only child on all Venus. And that would have been a lonely thing to be if it had not been for Baba. Baba, the bear, was not only Johnny's pet, but his best friend, too, and the only one who knew about his three secrets.
Because of these secrets, Johnny got himself, his jewel bear, Baba, and the whole colony of New Plymouth into desperate trouble. And because of these secrets, he also became a hero worthy of a statue—Venus' greatest hero...

    A woman must emerge from the virtual world she’s created to confront her flesh-and-blood past and family.
    		 
    Growing up with a menacing drunk for a father and a grief-stricken mother, a girl spends her 1980s childhood staring at the television to escape the tension, depression, and looming violence that fill her suburban home. After winning a modelling competition, she dedicates herself to becoming a placid image onto which anything can be projected, a blank slate with a blank stare. Earning enough in Paris to retire in her twenties, she buys a studio in Montreal and retreats from the world and its perceived threats, cultivating her existence as an image through her virtual reality avatar. But when her mother develops cancer and nears the end of her life, she is forced to leave her cocoon — surrounded by her posse of augmented reality superheroes — and interact with the world and her parents without the mask of her perfect, virtual self.
    		 
    Georges offers up an alienated childhood with shifting pop culture obsessions, a woman’s awakening to the role of the image in culture, and her eventual isolation in her apartment and the world online. It is a catalogue of the anxieties of an age, from nuclear war to terrorism, climate change to biological warfare. Set in the past and not-too-distant future of Montreal, The Imago Stage is an ominous tale of oppression, suppression, and disembodiment.

    Forced to sacrifice herself by disappearing into Earth's distant past to preserve humanity's future and escape a galactic menace even she cannot resist, Valerie begins a new life seven thousand years in the past. She feels safe in this realm until confronted by an alien resource seeker drone determined to reveal the secret of Earth's riches to those that would covet them. The vile thing is quickly destroyed by the awesome power of the Five Rings, but not soon enough... 
    Now her greatest fear has been realized. The Boecki are coming centuries sooner than expected, set to strip Earth of its assets, consume everything and everyone, and nothing can be done about it because Valerie Dunne is dead, and the Hesaurun Rings are lost to the past!
