Stephanie stepped out of the shower. She ran a thick comb through her long hair to untangle it, and examined her body in the mirror that ran the length of one wall of the white Carrara marble bathroom. The three whip marks on her thighs had almost entirely disappeared. But the one on her inner thigh, the one from the cut of Gianni's whip that had so narrowly missed the soft folds of her sex itself, still displayed a slight bruising on her otherwise flawless tan.

The beautiful and sensuous Stephanie is settling into her new role as mistress of Devlin's castle. She has everything she could desire: money, luxury, a lover who can satisfy all her erotic needs and a bevy of slaves over whom she has complete control. But being mistress of the castle is not enough: she has a score to settle with Gianni,... Views: 23

A four hundred year journey through space is about to end for the teeming inhabitants of a large ship-world. The air is thick with expectation as they enter the system that is to become their new home, the probes reporting nothing more advanced than bacteria and algae among the clustered planets. But the original data was wrong, and direct scans of the planet reveal a whole alien civilisation. Maybe the aliens have just arrived. Maybe evolution has been incredibly rapid during their long journey … Neither of these explanations seem plausible. It seems likely that the probe data has been falsified from the beginning. Advice is years distant, help is decades away. They’re on their own and they’ll have to decide a plan of action fast as the rest of humanity is just as vulnerable and not much further away.

Three Classic SF Novellas About Women Changed into Men.The number of female-to-male transsexuals has increased dramatically in recent years, and they have received much national publicity. But science fiction writers predicted the phenomenon more than three-quarters of a century earlier. Straight from the cutting-edge of the 1920s and '30s, when glandular research was first unearthing clues about the effect of the sex hormones on the body, here is a trio of dangerous visions in which the greatest authors of the time speculated about what might if science could transform females in to males.In "The Sex Serum," a young artist discovers his fiancee has been turned into a man by her scientist guardian, and swears to kill the guardian unless he turns her back. But neither fully understands the forces they are dealing with, leading to a final, unexpected conclusion. For psychiatrist David H. Keller, the notion was a horror, a repugnant act that could only upset the natural order of things, unleashing chaos and destruction, and his scientific-detective Science fiction is quick to put women back in their place and lecture them sternly about being good wives. But first, he must uncover the conspiracy of brilliant, Amazonian scientists he views as "The Menace." But, for Science Fiction Hall of Fame author, Stanley G. Weinbaum, the new discoveries about hormones becomes the departure point for a thought-provoking tale of a future dictator and a surprising love story. One of the cabal of men in the inner circle of a future dictator was once a woman. Why s/he is there and how it effects the future of the United States will surprise and thrill you! In addition there is an informativeIntroduction by transgender author Raven Kaldera and a list of recommended readings for those interested in learning more about this phenomenon. Whether you read this unique anthology for its insights into 1930s science fiction or into the contemporary female-to-male movement--read it! Views: 23

London, only a Lady can stop them.
Lillian
Dellacourt is beautiful, refined and absolutely lethal. She’s also the most
feared and merciless demon hunter in The Company. She’s come a long way from
the penniless seamstress’s daughter sold to the highest bidder, and it wasn’t
by trusting a man, let alone an exiled Marquis with more on his mind than
slaying the hellspawn . . .
For
Dorian Lambert, Marquis de Montalembert, being
sent to keep track of Lillian is no mean task. He’s wanted the fiery vixen
since he first heard of her five years ago. But wooing the lady while fighting
the demon uprising is no easy feat, especially when the lady’s tongue is as
sharp as the Japanese sai blades she
favors for eviscerating the spawn of hell.
These
two will have to learn to trust each other fast, because the demon master is
back, and he’s planning to turn Edinburgh
into a living hell…
