Please add an additional 12% to cover Canadian and provincial taxes as well as Canada Post rates for shipping. At present I can only accept certified cheques or money orders.

BookFinder.com lists both mosaic novels: "Feeling Theocidal" and "The War of the Apocalyptics". Also listed therein are most of the other PHANTACEA Mythos print publications.

Another interesting option for the curious is Chegg, which has a rent-a-book program. Thus far its search engine shows no results for phantacea (any style or permutation thereof) but it does recognize Jim McPherson (a variety of them) and the titles of the novels.

As for the Whole Earth (other than the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head, at least as far as I can say), this page contains a list of a few other websites where you can probably order the novels in a variety of currencies and with credit cards.

"The War of the Apocalyptics", the first book in the Launch 1980 story sequence, is now available

The Thirty Second Synopsis

The gods and goddesses, the demons and monsters, of ancient mythologies have been trivialized, their worship proscribed and the entities themselves confined to another realm. Their ongoing battles are chronicled throughout Jim McPherson's PHANTACEA Mythos.

In "The War of the Apocalyptics" a number of these acknowledged devils break out of the Sedon Sphere, the dimensional barrier between the Inner and the Outer Earth. Among them are four Apocalyptics: War, Death, Disease and Destruction. Death looks pregnant.

The 17-year Secret War of Supranormals ended in December 1955. At the end of November 1980, 1955's Last of the Supranormals re-emerge whole, bodies with minds, from nearly a quarter century in Limbo. Since they do so on Damnation Isle, in the Aleutian Chain of islands, they consequently decide to call themselves the Damnation Brigade. They may be all that can stand against the Apocalyptics and their allies.

Although evidently mortal and mostly human, they may also be the sons and daughters of the gods and goddesses, the demons and monsters, of ancient mythologies.

Front cover for War-Pox, Artwork by Ian Bateson, 2009

Cover Artwork by Ian Bateson, 2009

PHANTACEA: Anheroic Fantasy since 1977

Back Cover Blurb

The Launching of the Cosmic Express took place on November 30, 1980. The Moloch Sedon found the whole thing so distasteful he spat it out again.

The Great Eye-Mouth in the Sky, artwork by Ian Bateson, 2009

The night’s sky darkened but stars didn’t dim. They escaped. The ten members of the Damnation Brigade, one of who wasn’t anywhere near human, though she was supranormally gifted, couldn’t have been happier. They’d survived a quarter century in Limbo. For now!

Plague, Murder, War and Disaster, they're Apocalyptics; immortal devils. They're among the stars that escaped the Sedon Sphere. Murder's pregnant. She'll give birth on the Inner Earth if D-Brig doesn't stop her first.

From the creator of the PHANTACEA Mythos and the writer of ‘Feeling Theocidal’ comes Fallen Angel Devils, comes unrelenting Action, comes the Damnation Brigade, comes the first book of the Launch 1980 cycle.
