Synopsis Unreal Frontier by : Christopher Lannan

In this psychological thriller, enter the mind of a soldier driven by tragedy with the desire to do good as he enters a world beyond ours only to discover danger exists in places we could not fathom. One fatal day, a mission goes sideways and this soldier begins to live his own nightmares as he gets blown into another world. Coming out of this world, he believes it was nothing more than a dream, but as time goes on, he realizes this realm was much more than a dream. Distinguishing what is real from what is not becomes a challenge as his mind resists fracture. This short novel reveals a mad being who resides inside this other realm as the source for the soldier’s experiences. This being, appearing as a middle-aged gentleman, begins wreaking havoc upon the earth through creating enormous tremors which split the earth connecting our world to his as a method to transport his army of spliced monsters to our world. Being the only man to ever come back from this other world, the soldier is the only one with the ability to put a stop to the madman before it’s too late. This is the soldier who must re-enter, the Unreal Frontier.

Synopsis Behind the Frontiers of the Real by : David Roas

This book offers a definition of the fantastic that establishes it as a discourse in constant intertextual relation with the construct of reality. In establishing the definition of the fantastic, leading scholar David Roas selects four central concepts that allow him to chart a fairly clear map of this terrain: reality, the impossible, fear, and language. These four concepts underscore the fundamental issues and problems that articulate any theoretical reflection on the fantastic: its necessary relationship to an idea of the real, its limits, its emotional and psychological effects on the receiver and the transgression of language that is undertaken when attempting to express what is, by definition, inexpressible as it is beyond the realms of the conceivable. By examining such concepts, the book explores multiple perspectives that are clearly interrelated: from literary and comparative theory to linguistics, via philosophy, science and cyberculture.

Synopsis Frontiers of Empire by : Robert L. Nelson

How did the homesteads and reservations of the Prairies of Western North America influence German colonization, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Eastern Europe? Max Sering, a world-famous agrarian settlement expert, stood on the Great Plains in 1883 and saw Germany's future in Eastern Europe: a grand scheme of frontier settlement. Sering was a key figure in the evolution of Germany's relationship with its eastern frontier, as well as in the overall transformation of the German Right from the Bismarckian 1880s to the Hitlerian 1930s. 'Inner colonization' was the settlement of farmers in threatened borderland areas within the nation's boundaries. Focusing on this phenomenon, Frontiers of Empire complicates the standard thesis of separation between the colonizing country and the colonized space, and blurs the typical boundaries between colonizer and colonized subjects.

Synopsis Exploring the Next Frontier by : Matthew Wilhelm Kapell

The 1960s and early 70s saw the evolution of Frontier Myths even as scholars were renouncing the interpretive value of myths themselves. Works like Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War exemplified that rejection using his experiences during the Vietnam War to illustrate the problematic consequences of simple mythic idealism. Simultaneously, Americans were playing with expanded and revised versions of familiar Frontier Myths, though in a contemporary context, through NASA’s lunar missions, Star Trek, and Gerard K. O’Neill’s High Frontier. This book examines the reasons behind the exclusion of Frontier Myths to the periphery of scholarly discourse, and endeavors to build a new model for understanding their enduring significance. This model connects NASA’s failed attempts to recycle earlier myths, wholesale, to Star Trek’s revision of those myths and rejection of the idea of a frontier paradise, to O’Neill’s desire to realize such a paradise in Earth’s orbit. This new synthesis defies the negative connotations of Frontier Myths during the 1960s and 70s and attempts to resuscitate them for relevance in the modern academic context.
