Maxim Jakubowski Books Overview

Chronolysis

Chronolysis is one of the most important French SF novels of the 1970s. It deals with time and its manipulation through the use of chronolytic drugs. Its protagonists are psychronauts, helpless explorers of a confusing, multidimensional universe, facing threats from alternate realities, such as Harry Krupp Hitler 1st, Emperor of the Undetermined, or the mysterious Phords from the future world of Garichankar. They search for secret paradises, hidden within the folds of space and time, away from their bleak realities, such as the tropical realm of Oblivion-by-Ruaba. This volume also includes a foreword by Theodore Sturgeon, a biography and illustrated bibliography of Jeury and a never-before-published short story translated by Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier. ‘Just how Jeury conveys the feeling that he knows what he is doing, that he is in charge, that you the reader are in the place in which he intends you to be, cannot be analyzed. A very small number of writers have this ability: Joseph Heller can do it; so can Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick.’ Theodore Sturgeon.

Past Poisons

Edith Pargeter, who also writes under the name Ellis Peters, previously combined her passion for history and storytelling in her creation of the much loved monk, Brother Cadfael. It was she who paved the way for many others to explore the past through the thriving field of historical mysteries, and for this she was loved by readers and other writers alike. Past Poisons is a bumper crop of outstanding new short stories by the leading American and British historical crime writers, all wishing to pay tribute to the work of Ellis Peters. It is a fitting memorial, and a landmark anthology that no fan of historical crime can do without.

Chronicles of Crime

In this second memorial anthology, more leading British and American crime writers have contributed stories, with a breathtaking range of settings and sleuths, for every fan of historical and modern crime.

Murder Through the Ages

With a wide array of talent, such as Kate Ellis, author of the West County Murder Mysteries, Peter Tremayne, author of A Mystery of Ancient Ireland series, Ian Morson, author of theWilliam Falconer Medieval Mystery books and Dead Letter Mysteries, and Manda Scott, author of The Boudica Trilogy, among others, Murder Through the Ages is a compendium of not to be missed historical mysteries.
