Burt L. Standish, a pen name used by Gilbert Patten, was a popular 20th century writer of dime novels and short stories, with his best known work being the Frank Merriwell stories

In Planet of the Damned, Brion Brandd, the winner of "The Twenties," a kind of planet-wide Olympics of both mind and body, barely has time to savor his victory when he is called away by a previous winner to help save Dis, a planet that seems intent on its own destruction and the destruction of it's neighbor. When Brion and his friend Lea arrive on Dis, they are confronted by baffling questions. What planetary evolution has caused such a difference in the inhabitants? Why are one set of people deeply connected with the planet and one totally unconnected to anything but dominance and destruction? He must find the answers to these questions and find the link essential to saving both worlds while racing against a doomsday clock. It will take all their skill, courage, and empathy to do this.

Harold Titus was a 20th century American author best known for action and adventure novels, many of which took place on the frontier and Wild West.

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Illustrated About The Garden of Survival by Algernon Blackwood Twins may be similar in outward appearance and share genetic material, but the paths they take in life are often markedly divergent. That's certainly the case in Algernon Blackwood's The Garden of Survival, in which two twin brothers' adventures take them to opposite ends of the earth – though their special bond remains intact. The Garden of Survival begins in Blackwood’s usual polished and expressive style. His protagonist, Richard, a former military man now making a living as a foreign diplomat in Africa, details in epistolary format his musings of life and love. The story is both enticing and ethereal. The description of Richard’s childhood garden is vaguely reminiscent of the biblical Garden of Eden. Algernon Henry Blackwood was an English writer of tales of the supernatural. In his late thirties, Blackwood started to write horror stories. He was very successful, writing ten books of short stories and appearing on both radio and television to tell them. He also wrote fourteen novels and a number of plays, most of which were produced but not published. He was an avid lover of nature, and many of his stories reflect this.

The entire history of the Wild Cards universe in the UK and Ireland, starting back in 1946 and going right up to the present day.

Mia is charged with a task vital to the strange world of Morrah. Finnegaff the Sorcerer, and a tiny, hyper fairy act as her guide. Along the way she must select a member of each sentient species to go with them, all teens, with which Finnegaff doesn’t do well. But the dark sorceress wants to stop them and will stop at nothing. Join Mia’s adventures on the magical world of Morrah.Sixteen year-old Mia Murphy finds herself in a world not her own. Very frightened, she wanders into a village of trolls, where she’s beaten and jailed with the intent of being tomorrow’s dinner. She escapes with the aid of a small, fast-flying little drop of light and is led to a small cottage belonging to Finnegaff the Sorcerer. The little light turns out to be the fairy Belemeriath, a comic relief of the story.Mia learns she has been selected by Saa, the force employed by the wizards of Morrah, to perform a task vital to its replenishing. And that she, too, is a wizard, and can thus execute unearthly feats of magic. Mia cannot return home. She’s stuck on Morrah until she completes this vital task.Finnegaff escorts her to Marigaff’s Farm, a wizard training camp. Mia also learns the task assigned her is to carry the Book of Life to the Glen of Giants to read it and replenish Morrah’s sustaining power. This has happen every four hundred years. On her travels with Finnegaff as her guide, she must select, aided by Saa, one representative from each of the sentient species of Morrah to accompany her. The dark sorceress Eringaff, turned evil by the renegade elf wizard Gaff, seeks to seize the Book of Life which, will cause the balance of Saa to shift and allow Gaff world domination.Embarking on her journey, she is guided by Saa to select each representative as they pass through their respective countries. She picks mostly teens. Finnegaff, though always kind and wise, does not quite know how to handle teenagers and, as teens do, they play on this.Each selected representative possesses particular talents, though most are not wizards. Romessee, a member of a race of nomadic people, can feel other’s emotions as if her own. She is a member of Shadowlight Stand, stand being a synonym for tribe. Romessee refers to their little group as Mia’s Stand. The name sticks. Zim, a three-foot praying mantis, can fly and write very fast. Strongwind the centaur is powerful and fast, and eventually overcomes his prejudices toward mantids. Macca the dwarf is a novice wizard, though she’s very young and untrained. Caithya, a sylph, can broadcast fear and cause hysteria to her enemies. Belemeriath the fairy is a flirt (regardless of species) and a show-off, hyper, talks constantly, and is lots of fun. At first Mia can’t stand him, but after a bit he becomes very dear to her. His is the fastest species on Morrah, and he’s very stealthy. Others are a dragon who breathes fire (what dragon doesn’t) named Cwyth, who can telepathically communicate with Mia; Geramel, a tomboy soldier who has defected from the dark sorceress’ army, has attitude, brains, and brawn. She can feel when others are lying. Carameth, the incredibly handsome, kind elf is quiet, knowledgeable and has connections. A gentle romance develops between the two.The romance is squeaky clean, as is the entire writing, and meant to promote good morals. Many other moral issues are addressed and overcome: prejudices, differences, value of life, bullying, abuse of power, compassion, the reality of war, respect for nature and more. Comedy is prevalent; a few parts are sad, and action is frequent.Throughout Mia’s travels, she and her stand are faced with many obstacles. They are harassed by the dark sorceress Eringaff and her minions, the darkhounds. Battles ensue, some large, some skirmishes. Mia often is the key in the turn of battle. They must pass through the Land of Lost Memories, where ghosts can take their souls and make them one of their own. A black cloud falls on the party, making the air thick and not breathable. Mia combats this with extraordinary wizardry. Through magic, Mia defeats a gigantic amoeba-like creature that incinerates everything in its path. Obstacles are around every corner, and Mia, though strong willed and fearless, is none the less modest about being the heroine.
