Bøger af Philip Francis Nowlan

Philip Francis Nowlan er mest kendt for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century og romanerne bag denne franchise, men, ved siden af dette, skrev han i årene 1929 til 1940 fire meget forskellige science fiction-noveller, som intet har med hverken Buck Rogers eller hinanden at gøre.Vi præsenterer her de fire noveller fra pulp-magasinernes guldalder:Angrebet fra Venus. Befolkningen på Venus flygter fra deres planet, der er ved at gå under, og sender blandt andet rumskibe til Jorden. Men befolkningen på Venus er vant til at herske og forstår ikke begreber som næstekærlighed og fredelig sameksistens, og befolkningen på Jorden er i vejen for deres planer for et nyt sted at leve.Tidshopperne. Tidsrejser er ikke helt uden udfordringer, og heller ikke uden farer. Og fortiden, f.eks. USA i 1750, kan være et farligt sted for et moderne menneske.Prinsen af Mars vender tilbage. Kaptajn Daniel J. Hanley stikker af til Mars i en prototyperaket uden at vide, hvad der vil møde ham, eller om det overhovedet er muligt at leve på planeten. Forude venter et eventyr, som han ikke i sin vildeste fantasi havde forestillet sig.Rumvagterne. Linda Darlington og Bob Manley er agenter for Rumvagterne, og strandet på Venus i eftersøgningen af forbryderparret Tiger Madden og Valita Lenoir, og deres skjulte kongerige. En farefuld mission, hvor det gælder om at overleve, både i den barske natur og i en fjendtlig by.

In Armageddon - 2419 A.D., Buck, a victim of accidental suspended animation, awakens five hundred years later to discover America groaning under the tyranny of the villainous Han, ruling from the safety of their armored machine-cities. Falling in love with one of America's new warrior-women, Wilma Deering, Rogers soon become a central figure in using newly-developed scientific weapons - disintegrators, jumping belts, inertron, and paralysis rays - to revolt against the Han

Because his name is similar to that of a legendary Martian prince, whose return from the dead has long been prophesized, Hanley finds himself elected to wed a beautiful warrior maid and then lead a revolution against the Red Planet's tyrannical ruler

The original "Buck Rogers" story -- Nowlan's novella tells about America in the 25th century, conquered by Hans in 2109 A.D. and only now beginning to rebel. The Hans are invaders from Asia with highly advanced technology. They have great aircraft armed with disintegrator rays that turn whatever they hit into nothing. From time to time, they raid American land "to keep the 'wild' Americans on the run within the shelter of their forests, and prevent their becoming a menace to the Han civilization." (Summary from Wikipedia).

Armageddon 2419 A.D. features the introduction of Buck Rogers, the famous sci-fi adventure hero of early comics and radio shows. Originally published in Amazing Stories in 1928, this novella was later combined with Nowlan¿s sequel, The Airlords of Han, and re-published under this same title in the 1960s.In it we follow Buck Rogers and his mysterious transportation to far-future America. The land was conquered by the evil Han Empire centuries ago, and the local Americans, scattered into competing gangs, are now starting a rebellion. Buck meets the leaders of one of the gangs and is swept up in the events.
