Books Update: Science Fiction from Saxton, Searls & Sellings
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for this books category, with an image for each book. Queen Of The States by Josephine Saxton is a novel about a woman who moves through time and space from a mental hospital to an alien spaceship, but is it reality or madness? Hank Searls’s The Pilgrim Project is a richly human thriller about the race to the moon. Arthur Sellings was a British author active in the 1950s/60s, who died at 47 in 1968. He left behind six novels and two short story collections. His first novel, The Silent Speakers (UK) / Telepath (US) (we have both versions in this update) is the best novel about telepathy I have ever read. One can only wonder what he might have gone on to achieve had he not died so young.
