MILLENIUM FALCON USERS HANDBOOK & ENGINEERING INSTRUCTION GUIDE |
“Hey, this is really seriously GREAT man! I mean, I read it and I’m right there in the cockpit ready to go up and away. It has the complete blueprints of the entire ship, plus diagrams of all the controls and a take-off checklist. As soon as I can persuade my dad to let me have the garage, I’m gonna build me one and fly off round the universe. It’s dead brill and really cool.” - Claude Nurd
The Menace of the Skyrons
by Deidre Makepiece
“This must be the most insightful
and revealing novel of the century in this genre. It captures the
weltschmerz, schaddenfreude and zeitgeist of the dying century
with total honesty; its deconstructive post Jungian analysis of
the heroine’s enigmatic personality encapsulates the angsts
and obsessions of the children of the Millenium in their
Ibsenesquely devastating entirety. The feminist manifesto has
never been expanded so meaningfully in post-Brechtian fiction
before, while the Proustian elegance of the author’s prose
style is both lapidary and prolix. Although the book’s
command of the niceties of quantum mechanics may cause the
scientifically obsessed to have some niggling scruples, the
entire Dickensian thrust of the main plot will carry all but the
most sophistical to accept its intellectual framework and all can
enjoy its command of contemporary semiotics. The scene in which
the monster with twelve eyes rapes the heroine and all her
crewmen is devastating in its psychological juxtaposition of male
dominated violence and cross stitch embroidery. Throughout, the
masterful presentation of the Skyron Prince, redolent of Chekov
at his most intellectual, symbolizes not only the constant
consumate oppression of womanhood, but also sublimates the
phallic acme of the motherlode. Binky, the dyslexic robot, is a
symboliste tour de force, representational of the dysfunction of
the cybernetic opposed to the prestidigitational infarction of
the neo-marasmic xenelasia.” - Connie Linghuis
THE WIT AND WISDOM OF WILLIAM RIKER
“A slim volume, but none the less nauseating....” - Rembrandt van Cleaver
THE MAKING OF THE MAKING OF THE
MAKING OF THE X-FILES
“The complete script, with tedious interviews and out of focus black and white publicity stills. This is a must for all brain dead morons who will buy anything at all with a series logo printed out of register on the cover no matter what a load of gross marketing rip-off shit it is. My brother-in-law’s got three copies.....” - Lafcadio Grunt
