The Man In The High Castle

More post-war alternate reality..









Covers (in order stated) from Britain, Finland, Japan and France for The Man In The High Castle

A great story of how people live and rule in an America governed by Germany and Japan after the Axis Powers emerge as victors of the Second World War.

Interesting how the French cover is less graphic in its interpretation of the content (with a strange alien looking creature in the background?).

'In 1945 the Nazis went to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back.'

Interesting concept for Finnish sci-fi comedy film in the making - Iron Sky

Mars 500

Meanwhile..



Six 'astronauts' are locked in a facility in Moscow to simulate a space journey to Mars - for 520 days (3 June 2010 - 5 November 2011).











The crew spend most of their time conducting tests, tending to the plants, and watching nature simulations (with sounds using headphones) to give them that refreshing Earthly feel now and again.

More info at ESA.
