    September 1940. Squadron leader Paul Chantrey is a man under pressure, but he is one of "the few". Fighter Command is all that stands between Britain and defeat.... For those familiar with Until the Night, several of the characters and names referenced in The Cloud Walkers may be familiar to you. In that sense, this novel is both part "prequel" and a companion to that title, set later in the Second World War. History justly lauds the derring-do of the brave men - mostly very young men - of Fighter Command in the summer of 1940.  Step back into the reality of those desperate days when Britain stood alone against the tide of Nazism. Lest we forget - remember the cloud walkers....  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Calverley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/117157/bk_acx0_117157_sample.mp3.

    This eclectic, wide-ranging collection of some of Di Filippo's newest stories - plus one newly excavated gem from nearly thirty years past - illustrates the enormous territory encompassed by modern fantastical fiction in general, and this writer's realm in particular.From the sheer Lovecraftian weirdness found in The Horror at Gancio Rosso to the biopunk future of The Herple is a Happy Beast; from the old-school pulp of Airboy and Vooda Visit the Jungles of the Moon to the hardcore cyberpunk of A Faster, Deeper Now, these tales chart the unexpected, the comical, the tragic, and the likely-to-happen.Whether our heroes are trying to kill God (The Trail of the Creator, the Trial of Creation) or time-travel to a happier era (I'll Follow the Sun), they exhibit all the intelligence, derring-do, resilience, and manic assaults on the multiverse found in the best classic imaginative literature. ungekürzt.
