The Books of the Wars

Super-science, Weirdness and Wonder!

Jack Vance. Gene Wolfe. Cordwainer Smith. If you like your SF evocative and full of amazingly bizarre ideas that recall the best of such writers, you're gonna love Mark Geston! First, the remnants of humanity attempt to build a cathedral-like spaceship to flee a devastated Earth—but are we still at the mercy of the dark forces that brought on the first apocalypse? Next, it's been an 800-year battle after the invasion of Earth by transdimensional magic-users. Now humans finally grasp the secrets of thaumaturgy and are ready to turn it against their foes! Finally, a young prophet faces down a super-science Armageddon in a weirdly-baroque far future. Three Geston novels of startling imagination and strangeness, together for the first time!
