This bookstore shut down last year, but we're temporarily open again for orders of $35 or more. Orders will typically be shipped on Tuesday and Saturday. We've cut prices on most of our inventory and magazines. Shipping is a flat rate of $3.50 media mail for US orders.

The point of re-opening is to clear out the remaining inventory that is filling our house. At present, I'm trying to get rid of enough inventory to allow our children to move into a larger bedroom, currently used as storage. So, don't just look at it as simply buying books, you're making two little boys very happy.

Description:

In the twenty-second century, humankind has colonized the solar system. Starflight is possible but hugely expensive, so humankind's efforts are focused on Isis, the one nearby Earth-like world. Isis is verdant, Edenic, rich with complex DNA-based plant and animal life. And every mocule of Isian life is spectacularly toxic to human beings. The planet is a permenent level 4 hot zone.

Despite that, Isis is the most interesting discovery of the millennium: a parallel biology with lessons to teach us about our own nature. It is also the hardest of hardship posts, the loneliest place in the universe.

Zoe Fischer was born to explore Isis. Literally. Cloned and genetically engineered by a faction within the hothouse politics of Earth, Zoe is optimized to face the planet's terrors. Now at last, Zoe has arrived on Isis. But there are secrets implanted within her that not even she expects. . . and the planet itself has secrets that will change our understanding of life in the universe.
