Camp Concentration
by Thomas M. Disch
When Louis Sacchetti, a poet and conscientious objector, refuses to participate in the war against Third World terrorists, he is confined to a special camp where experimental drugs are tested.
The First Immortal
by James L. Halperin
In his astonishing first novel, James L. Halperin wrote of humanitys epoch-making achievement of truth and justice at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Now Halperin takes his luminous vision a leap further into the future as he unfolds this magnificent saga of our triumph over death itself.At the age of sixty-three, Benjamin Smith, accomplished physician, loving father and grandfather, brilliantly original thinker, is in the prime of his life. He is too vital, too gifted, to die of the massive heart attack that overwhelms his system on a rain-soaked spring day in 1988.But Ben Smith will not die. A pioneering advocate of the infant science of cryonics, Ben has arranged to have his body frozen until the day when humanity will possess the knowledge, the technology, and the courage to revive him.That day arrives far more quickly--and far more strangely--than anyone could possibly imagine. For when Ben resumes life after a frozen interval of eighty-three years, the world is altered beyond recognition. Thanks to the cutting-edge science of nanotechnology, as practiced by Bens brilliant great-grandson, Trip Crane III, eternal youth, beauty, and good health are universally available. And the perfection of cloning gives humanity the godlike power to recreate living beings from a single cell.As one by one, Ben's mother, children, even a semblance of his beloved wife return to life in the mid-twenty-first century, the Smiths experience a complex reunion that reaches across and through generations. But as they marvel at the miracles of future science, Ben and his family will come to realize that the deepest ethical and emotional dilemmas of humankind--and of their own entangled lives--remain unsolved.
Parable of the Sower

Spares
by Michael M. Smith
Suppose for a moment youre Jack Randall. Youre a loner, an ex-cop, the dangerous veteran of a savage war. All youve held dear has long ago been destroyed. For the last five years youve been hiding out on a spares farm, working at the only job that will still have you: guarding people who have never seen the outside world and cant even spell the word "escape." In short, your luck has run out.You might think things couldnt get any worse. Youd be wrong. Because Jack Randall has a talent for attracting trouble: the kind most people run screamingfrom. But Jack Randall is not most people. Thats part of his trouble. Now hes on the run with seven of the Farms inmates (well, six and a half), and the people who own them will do anything to get them back. All Jack wants to do is score enough money to disappear with his human contraband. But things aren't as simple as that. For Jack Randall, they never are.Jack is on a head-on collision course with the man responsible for all this misery--a cold-blooded killer with one purpose: to cancel Jack once and for all.Now Jack has a decision to make: keep running or even the score? Either way spells more trouble. And when the ghosts of the past meet the terrors of the future, the result for Jack will be one hell of a scary ride.Who are the spares? And what is their purpose? That is the most shocking revelation of all.

The Children of Men
James, P. D
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1993 P.D. James. The Children of Men. Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1993. 241 pp. First American Edition. Pages are deckle-edged (untrimmed). Plain paper over black boards. Binding black with gold lettering. In her 12th book, the British author of the two series featuring Adam Dalgleish and Cordelia Gray ( Devices and Desires and An Unsuitable Job for a Woman , respectively) poses a premise that chills and darkens its setting in the year 2021. Near the end of the 20th century, for reasons beyond the grasp of modern science, human sperm count went to zero. The last birth occurred in 1995, and in the space of a generation humanity has lost its future. In England, under the rule of an increasingly despotic Warden, the infirm are encouraged to commit group suicide, criminals are exiled and abandoned and immigrants are subjected to semi-legalized slavery. Divorced, middle-aged Oxford history professor Theo Faron, an emotionally constrained man of means and intelligence who is the Warden's cousin, plods through an ordered, bleak existence. But a chance involvement with a group of dissidents moves him onto unexpected paths, leading him, in the novel's compelling second half, toward risk, commitment and the joys and anguish of love. In this convincingly detailed world--where kittens are (illegally) christened, sex has lost its allure and the arts have been abandoned--James concretely explores an unthinkable prospect. Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. Tiny nick at top of binding. Outer corners are slightly rubbed. Binding square and tight. Pages clean and unmarked.. First American Edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ( more information) Offered by Pocket Garden Books (United States)
