AIRSHIP 27 PRODUCTION PROUDLY PRESENTS BEYOND 175 RETURN TO THE LOST CONTINENT

AIRSHIP 27 PRODUCTION PROUDLY PRESENTS BEYOND 175 Return to the Lost Continent, A Sequel to Beyond 30 by Edgar Rice Burroughs By Harding McFaden

In 1915, Edgar Rice Burroughs, the master of adventure fiction, wrote “Beyond 30,” a prophetic vision about our world locked onto a course certain to lead us to a horrendous World War. That global nightmare became a reality in ways the brilliant Burroughs couldn’t imagine, and so he never returned to the apocalyptic setting he’d created. This was a rarity for a writer who loved to pen series, à la Tarzan, Barsoom, Pellucidar and many, many others.

Now, after a hundred and ten years, writer Harding McFadden, himself a devoted Burroughs fan, has picked up the thread of “Beyond 30” and offered up a powerful sequel that would have made the Master proud. Filled with bizarre creatures, barren wastelands and insane villains, “Beyond 175” explores the frigid, barren landscape of the once mighty Russian Empire. Here is a novel filled with excitement, thrills, and adventure that pays homage to the great Edgar Rice Burroughs.

“I was bowled over reading it,” says Airship 27 Production Managing Editor Ron Fortier. “It is simply astounding how McFaden has captured the gut-feel of a Burroughs adventure. It’s there on every page. We are really thrilled to be bringing this one to all our fans and Burroughs enthusiasts. They won’t be disappointed.”  Award-winning artist Rob Davis provides the art for this amazing novel.

Award-Winning Indie Author Sean Taylor Announces Release of Raw and Rhythmic New Poetry Collection, Tracks for the Troubadours

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-Winning Indie Author Sean Taylor Announces Release of Raw and Rhythmic New Poetry Collection, Tracks for the Troubadours

Atlanta, GA — August 10, 2026 — Independent publisher Taylorverse Books has officially announced the upcoming release of TRACKS FOR THE TROUBADOURS AND OTHER POEMS, the highly anticipated third volume of poetry by acclaimed author and editor Sean Taylor. Slated to debut ahead of Dragon*Con, this evocative collection blends high-energy rhythm with heavy, provocative commentary on modern life. 

Following the success of his previous works, Taylor’s newest 55-poem collection takes readers on a lyrical journey through the topics society often shuns in polite conversation: identity, political anxieties, religion, and shifting cultural landscapes. Influenced heavily by iconic 1960s wordsmiths like Bob Dylan and David Crosby, Taylor structures his collection like a musical setlist designed to evoke movement while delivering punchy emotional truths.

In the book's flagship piece, "Tracks for the Troubadours," Taylor perfectly captures the heart of this collection: "Say something, yeah, that’s important too, but hide something heavy inside something fun, something easy to sing, so simple minds dig it straight."

The volume transitions seamlessly between deep introspection and social critique, featuring poignant individual pieces such as: 

• "First Star I See Tonight": A stark, romantic exploration of love thriving in a landscape darkened by greenhouse gases and industrial smog.
• "Bicycles, Blocks, and Plywood": A nostalgic reflection on childhood limits and uncrossable chasms from the perspective of adulthood.
• "NSFW": A raw, confessional breakdown of human imperfection and the exhausting demand for corporate conformity.
• "Crazy Times": A sharp political allegory observing a world where "the jester has taken the throne" and normalized societal chaos.

AIRSHIP 27 PRODUCTION PRESENTS AMONGST THE CROOKED STARS

Ten years ago, intergalactic thief Neroy Sphinx was an operative for a highly sophisticated deep space exploration combine headed by Cleric Griffin. He and an amazing female android named Fenris were part of a team that discovered a mysterious orb left behind by an alien race. In the course of investigating it, something went wrong, and Griffin had to sacrifice the souls of his colleagues to save them. Fearing Neroy would go mad from the experience, Griffin sealed off his memories until the time he felt he was ready to deal with them.

Ten years later, Neroy is hopping from one planet to another, sensing his own elusive memories are about to resurface. Meanwhile, various systems have reported brutal alien incursions threatening the entire civilized empire of stars. Griffin believes somewhere in Neroy’s buried memories is the solution to thwarting the ancient horror. And so he and Fenris race to find their old ally and together face the coming challenge. If it is not too late to do so.

Writer Daniel Whiston spins a fantastic sci-fi adventure as the second book in his exciting new Crooked Stars Trilogy.
