I’ve just ordered two classic Science Fiction novels:

1. Heliconia Spring by Brian W. Aldiss

I have not read too many works by Aldiss, but as far as I know his work, I like it. About this book: Heliconia Spring is part of a trilogy that consists of the books Helliconia Spring (published 1982), Helliconia Summer (1983) and Helliconia Winter (1985).

The Helliconia Trilogy is set on the Earth-like planet Helliconia. It is an epic chronicling the rise and fall of a civilization over more than a thousand years as the planet progresses through its incredibly long seasons, which last for centuries.

2. A Midsummer Tempest by Poul Anderson

I always look forward to read another Anderson novel. He seems to like to write about ancient Scandinavian peoples and time travel. A Midsummer Tempest is an alternate history fantasy novel, taking place in the era of Cromwell and Charles I, but the characters deal with, as well as the English Civil War, the Industrial Revolution. In 1975, it was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and Nebula Award for Best Novel and won the Mythopoeic Award.

I can hardly wait to get them…

I haven’t seen the stage play, I’ve only seen the trailer, but even such a short trailer like this has convinced me that REPO! The Genetic Opera is the movie I look forward the most to see this year.

It has the exact dark and morbid atmosphere that I like the most in a movie, it (the trailer) has quality rock music (except for the pale and forgettable vocal performance of miss Paris “rich and spoiled” Hilton in a black whig). It has guts and blood and … so on.

The story of REPO! takes place in a dark, dystopian future where an epidemic of organ-failure has devastated our (their?) world. The day is saved by GENECO, a biotech company that gives you the guts you need - but you have to pay the price. And if you have no money, you can take advantage of their financing plans. But if you don’t pay… repossession! Repossession made by specially trained surgeon-assasins called the REPO Men!

See the trailer below:

So when can we see this science-fiction-horror-rock-opera?

IMDb says: August 8th. The trailer says: April 25th. So we will just have to wait and see…
