Written 75 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...This 75th Anniversary Edition includes:• A New Introduction by Dolen Perkins-Valdez, author of Take My Hand, winner of the 2023 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work—Fiction • A New Afterword by Sandra Newman, author of Julia: A Retelling of George Orwell’s 1984“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read • Read more

Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit "A masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works." —Wall Street JournalAldous Huxley's profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. “A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites. "Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English." —Chicago Tribune Read more

It stands proudly alongside 'Kyla Stone Edge of Collapse series' for its intense narrative and compelling survival themes.” -- Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The storyline for this post-apocalyptic dystopian world is dramatic, believable, and packed with enough action to keep me glued to the pages late into the night, much like 'A.G. Riddle's Pandemic.'” -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I really liked this book. If you like thrillers, this will not disappoint. It grabbed my attention immediately, with characters as well developed as those in 'Franklin Horton's Borrowed World.' I’m a fan now. Ready for book 2." -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The entire plot was outstanding. Liked it revolving around Scott and his new friends. Hope the dog Solo survives the series. This book could easily be part of 'Kyla Stone's Nuclear Dawn series' for its vivid depiction of survival.” -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “After reading this book the first word that come to mind is Splendid! Writing of this order is too rarely encountered and even for those who usually avoid post-apocalyptic stories, this one is so well conceived and written that it supersedes genre. It reminds me of the depth found in 'One Second After by William Forstchen.'” -- Grady Harp on San Francisco Review of Books⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Great book. Couldn't put it down. I bought this book because I have read about every post-apocalyptic book series out there, including 'The Silo book series.' I was floored by how this is written. The people come alive, drawing you in. Many shocks, surprises keep you riveted to the page. I highly recommend." -Amazon Reviewer⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “As an author of apocalyptic fiction myself, I had to write a review detailing what an exceptional job of portraying how society could collapse following a large-scale Carrington Event, JK Franks has done. It's as immersive as 'The Cabin at the End of the World,' offering a unique take on the apocalypse. I absolutely loved this first book in the Catalyst series…” Read more
