The Constellation of Alarion & Other Stories

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Ten insightful science fiction tales from one of British sci-fi and fantasy’s most intriguing authors.

John Houlihan is best known for his Cthulhu mythos and historical fantasy series, but this is his first major collection of sci-fi stories, including debut play, Bomber Command.

In Most Exalted, plunge into the starchy corridors of a veteran’s care home, where a former intergalactic tyrant has sought refuge from his many pursuers. But as his carefully constructed mask begins to slip, will his nefarious past finally catch up with him? 

In Charioteer, join Soola, sister and driver to gladiatorial champion Nique, in a far future where countries settle disputes the old fashioned way, trial by combat. As the eve of a great contest draws close and Nique grows ever more arrogant and dissolute, will Soola finally step out of his shadow and embrace her true destiny? 

In the Constellation of Alarion, a fabulous treasure lies hidden in the midst of a deadly labyrinth. Three intergalactic rogues have set their hearts on gaining this great treasure, if they can overcome the maze’s many lethal traps and their own bumbling inadequacies. 

Explore ten tantalising tales and take a glimpse into a beguiling sci-fi future from one of fantastic fiction’s most fascinating talents.

Includes PDF, Mobi and EPUB editions!

I like the Serpentine font on the cover. It was also used in the Blue Planet RPG.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
