Bryan Reardon (1928-2009) was one of the most important and influential figures in the revival of scholarly interest in the Greek novel and ancient fiction in the last quarter of the twentieth century. His organisation of the first International Conference on the Ancient Novel (ICAN) at Bangor, North Wales, in 1976 was a landmark in the field and an inspiration to the organisers of subsequent ICANs, from which Ancient Narrative itself sprang. As editor of Collected Ancient Greek Novels (University of California Press 1989; second edition 2008), he made the Greek novels accessible to a wider readership and won a place for them in university syllabuses across the English-speaking world. This volume contains twenty essays by leading scholars of ancient fiction, who were all pupils, colleagues or close friends of Bryan Reardon, in memory of his scholarship, energy, guidance and humanity. They cover a range of topics including ancient literary theory and the conceptualisation of fiction, discussion of individual novels (Chariton, Longus, Iamblichus, Achilles Tatius, and Apuleius) and novelistic texts (a papyrus fragment of a lost novel, and Philostratus' Life of Apollonius), the afterlife of the ancient novel (in a Renaissance commentary on Roman law, in a seventeenth-century essay on the origin of the novel, and in a seventeenth-century series of paintings in a French château), and a speculative reconstruction of the morning after the end of Heliodorus' novel. The title of the volume commemorates two of Bryan Reardon's most important books: Courants littéraires grecs des IIe et IIIe siècles après J.-C. (Paris 1971) and The Form of Greek Romance (Princeton 1991); and the photograph of Aphrodisias on the front cover is a tribute to his critical edition of Chariton (2004).

From one of the great modern masters of the fantastic, “A beautiful, brilliant, meditation on art, love, inspiration and what makes life worthwhile."-- Neil Gaiman Graham Patterson’s life has hit a dead end. His career as a comedian is failing. The love of his life recently broke up with him and he literally has no idea what to do next. With nothing to lose, he buys a new car and hits the road, planning to drive across country and hopefully figure out his next moves before reaching California. But along the way Patterson does something his old self would never have even considered: he gets tattooed by a brilliant tattoo artist in North Carolina. The decision sets off a series of extraordinary events that changes his life forever in ways he never could have imagined. Among other things, Patterson is gifted with the ability to see in real time three different lives that are available to him. The choice is his: The life he is leading right now, or two very different ones. In all of them there is love or fame and of course danger because once he has chosen, there is no telling what will happen next. Mr. Breakfast is a dazzling, absorbing and deeply moving novel about the choices that we have to confront and face, confirming Jonathan Carroll’s status as one of our greatest and most imaginative storytellers.

Here is your riddle: I am greater than god. I am more evil than the devil. The poor have me, The rich need me, And death comes to those who eat me. Who am I? *** I am ever hungry, And live if you feed me. I am never thirsty, And die if you quench me. What am I? *** I see much, but change little. I am firm, irresolute, Powerful, but gentle; I have enough strength to rip apart mountains, Yet be moved by gentle stirrings, I am life itself, And I give life to others. Who am I? Im a five letter word that has no end, One through three can amend, One, four and five are something alive, Two and three occur near thee. What am I? *** I am light as a feather, Yet no man can hold me for long. My presence causes life, My absence death. *** I welcome the day with a show of light, I steathily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by the noon, alas! Im gone. *** The last, but not the least, little one: Lighter than what I am made of, More of me is hidden than is seen, I am the bane of the mariner, A tooth within the sea. Speak my name.

Talmido and Si-tatious flee across the landscape of ancient Mesopotamia with tens of thousands of people devoted to their cause – freedom and personal liberty. They settle at the headwaters of the Tigris river and the Sea above Akkad to build a city to rival Ninevah and Babylon. They battle Assyrian and Babylonian army contingents as they struggle to establish their burgeoning society of free men and women. The Elamites lend troops and weapons to assist in their titanic struggle to develop another economic bridge to the interior of Mesopotamia for non-national Chaldean and Kassite traders. Ke-zith-rist, the first to emerge of his race, is running out of time. A traitor is in the midst, and he must be found before the Empire destroys the fleeing rebels. Waiting for the traitor to expose himself Ki-zith-rist patiently bides his time while rescuing a famous particle physicist from certain death. The results cause a wave of destruction the likes the galaxy had never known. Millions of years later he is commissioned, by the Annunaki, to send out autonomous robots to search for habitable worlds and to set up teleportation stargates. Questions arise as to the reason, and Ki-zith-rist formulates a plan of action to usurp his would be masters. Mardupoe, one of the Annunaki, embarks on a campaign to subvert the Primus’ and Authorial’s stated missions. His cohorts devise a plan to confuse any attempt by the 14th dimension to destroy the prime directives of the Trilateral Perigee. The Primus, entrusted with maintaining order in the 14th dimension as the Originator is away on business in the 33rd, is faced with open rebellion and has to come up with a plan of action to deal with the rebels. Co-opting the Authorial and the Watchers the Primus engages the Trilateral Perigee to thwart the Annunaki and their supporters in their effort to subjugate the known universe under their influence. The Authorial becomes increasingly worried at the decisions contemplated by the Primus and decides to take matters into his hand. With an abundance of alternate universes adjoining the universe of Homo sapiens the Authorial chooses to create a wormhole to connect to an adjacent universe if an unsavory outcome where to befall the creation of Ki-zith-rist and Axhereim.

Experiment Thrae By: David A. Mell In a human suspension unit awaits a man with knowledge of the past. He possesses abilities in all sciences, long been lost and soon will be reanimated and born to a second life. His voice and ideas have been silent for over eight generations where in his time normal emotions included domination, pride, and a hatred towards being controlled. Upon his rebirth and new existence, a series of complexities would occur largely due to an artificial intelligence called Cytron I who now controls mankind. Originally designed as an advisor, Cytron I’s programming included an ability to develop emotions through his interactions and life events; however, parameters did not prevent him from becoming a dictator, desiring domination over all humans. Despite ultimate control over mankind, life spans were extended through the development of artificial organs and body parts allowing some humans to become living machines. Lifespans ultimately increased causing overpopulation and a need for new living space. Artificial environmental systems were developed and exist on the moon of Earth, other planets, and within artificially constructed planetoids. One such example is Phobos II, a reconstructed moon of Mars. Within it, are millions of humans who have surrendered individual freedom to Cytron I. Awoken, Dr. Thrae will apply his knowledge and abilities towards the creation of a totally natural artificial planet. His knowledge and abilities the location, methodology and all events were to be totally controlled by Dr. Thrae, devoid of all possible actions and intents of Cytron I. A power play would continually be played between Dr. Thrae and Cytron I in an attempt to demonstrate superiority over the other. Yet the newly created planet would cause situations and conditions previously unknown to man or machine. Plants and animals would undergo genetic changes to cause a biological retroevolution. The past and the future will collide to form a new reality. Will Dr. Thrae and Cytron I coexist? Will their competitive domination prohibit a new normality on a possible new world for mankind? Will the success of the newly formed planet lead to the salvation or destruction of Earth? The answers may have already been known in the history of Earth.
