Books with author Roger Phillips

Contains Hugo Finalist Story. Rog Phillips' Rat in the Skull is a giant-helping of classic Golden Age science fiction. Included is Phillips' science fiction masterpiece, "Rat in the Skull" (unavailable for nearly fifty years). What the magazine editors said then about this controversial, Hugo nominee novelette remains true today: "Some people will be shocked by this story. Others will be deeply moved. Everyone who reads it will be talking about it. Read the first four pages: then put it down if you can." Other Phillips novelettes gathered in Rat in the Skull are: "The Yellow Pill," "Executioner No. 43," "Unto the Nth Generation," "Pariah," "Love Me, Love My–" and "The Holes in My Head." Rat in the Skull & Other Off-Trail Science Fiction is a must-read for those who love science fiction. "Science fiction readers who have never been exposed to Roger Phillips Graham's inimitable brand of prose are in for a real treat." Forrest Ackerman. [Cover design: J. L. "Frankie" Hill]

This work is fiction, best described as a historical novel. Our novel covers the era of the great prophets of the bible, Elijah, the Tishbite, and Elisha, son of Shabat. The work begins at the end of the life of Israel’s great king, Solomon. Then, we follow the break up of Israel into northern and southern kingdoms and meet the kings of Judah and of Israel, both good and bad. This manuscript follows scripture as handed down through the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible. However, the author attempts to translate the Early Modern English of the Elizabethan period into a form more easily understandable to the reader, filling in blank spots in the narrative by offering the reader plausible explanations regarding; the great persecution of Ahab and Jezebel against the people of GOD; and the life of Elijah, Israel’s greatest prophet.

How do you fix something you didn't break? Lizzy certainly doesn't have the answer.

With him she finds relief. Now, maybe—just maybe—she can make it.
