BLURB: War of the Wordls: A Scrambled Translation of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds

You can raed tihs senetnce, eevn thgouh the wrdos are scrbamled. Your brain can read common words even if only the first and last letters are in their proper places. Test this ability for yourself with War of the Wordls – an entire novel of scrambled words. War of the Wordls tells the story of Martian invaders who land in late nineteenth-century Britain. With visionary references to space travel, lasers, robots, and other innovation, H.G. Wells’ story is as captivating as ever. In this edition, the text looks like gibberish, but if you read English well, it reads like any other book. Go ahead – try it. Amaze yourself and impress your friends. It’s fun!

Not the blurb per se, so much as the entire premise…

 

BLURB: Gravity Drive: Key to the Cosmos

This is a work of fiction: Since the invention of rockets, their propulsion systems have gone essentially unchanged. We still depend on blasting some type of propellant out the rear to shoot the rocket forward (Newton’s Third Law – check it out). There’s two problems with this method: propellant is always in limited supply, and you can’t really go very fast, so we use gravitational assist from planets to get us places. It still takes years, and that’s just inside our solar system. What if we could go to our Moon in hours or Mars in a couple days, and even turn around mid-flight if we forgot our toothbrush?

It continues in this vein for almost another 500 words.

BLURB: Tales of the Peacemaker: Return of the Immortals

The story comes in around the same time book 9 ends. It goes from there, listing events as one immortal experiences them and her thoughts on such. It tells how she gets more promotions past where book 9 stops listing them. The story does not focus so much on the promotions as book 9 was. It is longer than book 9 but much shorter than book 8.

Is anyone enticed by this to seek out the rest of the series?
