This one is for fans of Quentin Tarantino and of the ever-present gratuitous violence of Robert Altman. It is a direct descendant of Mickey Spillane''s Mike Hammer and the mystery action pulps epitomized by Black Mask. Philip José Farmer, now one of the great living SF writers, who has published many varieties of pulp fiction, who has written novels of Tarzan, Doc Savage, and Oz, now turns his hand to the detective novel, with colorful, violent results. A self-obsessed private detective married to a sincere wiccan is hired to witness an illegal transfer of money in a rainy cemetery that goes bloody wrong. Chasing the bad guys, he ends up the prisoner of a grusome threesome in their Dogpatchy cabin in the woods. His escape involves nudity, blood, death, and a terrible snapping turtle. That''s how the mystery begins, leading him through all the levels of Peoria society, geography, and history. Absurdly funny things happen continually in the peripheral vision of the story. No violence is left out. Greed, venality and hatred are unleashed. Unpleasant family history is brought to light. All the sex is offstage. The body count mounts steadily, with occasional mutilations. Nothing Burns in Hell is pulp fiction at its most gorgeously excessive.

The author of the bestselling Riverworld saga presents the second omnibus volume of classic SF novels from his popular World of Tiers series. These three action-packed novels--"Behind the Walls of Terra, The Lavalite World", and "More Than Fire"--are great originals of universe-hopping adventure and were later used as models by Roger Zelazny for his Chronicles of Amber.

¿Cómo será el mundo dentro de millones de años? Esto era lo último que se hubiera imaginado averiguar el científico piel roja Ulises Singing Bear cuando estaba trabajando en un proyecto secreto referente al éstasis atómico. Pero fue lo que descubrió cuando le falló el experimento. Pues, convertido en su propio conejo de Indias, fue él quien se despertó a la vida en un lejano, muy lejano futuro. Esto es lo que nos ofrece aquí la fabulosa imaginación de Philip Jose Farmer, creador de universos, explorador del pasado y del presente, en una nueva novela de las épocas por venir... una novela llena de acción y aventuras, de luchas con espadas, de la brujería, de lo desconocido, y de las ciencias olvidadas en el tiempo y las civilizaciones que florecieron y murieron durante los milenios que aún han de trascurrir.
