Memoirs Of An Everyday Ex-General: A Dystopian American Tale
by
"Sage Baker writes in an innovative, intelligent writing style that offers a contemporary updating of the early science fiction work of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Sage Baker's societal commentary is very well though-out, and I look forward to seeing what he more he comes up with in future releases."

Moby-Dick or, The Whale
by
"I like how abstract it is! There are the many character-driven scenes, of course, but there are also the cetology (whale science) essays. One-of-a-kind."

The Chronicles of Narnia (The Chronicles of Narnia, #1-7)
