Nine Books by L. P. Davies
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 18.5Mb
Overview: Leslie Purnell Davies (1914 – 1988) was a British novelist whose works typically combine elements of horror, science fiction and mystery. He also wrote many short stories under several pseudonyms, including: L. Purnell Davies, Leo Berne, Richard Bridgeman, Morgan Evans, Ian Jefferson, Lawrence Phillips, Thomas Philips, G. K. Thomas, Leslie Vardre, and Rowland Welch.
Davies' books often deal with the manipulation of human consciousness, and in some ways are comparable to the works of Philip K. Dick. (The premise of The Artificial Man resembles that of Dick's Time Out of Joint.) His protagonists frequently suffer from amnesia or other loss of identity, and their quest to find out who they really are drives the plot.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
The Alien (1968) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the rare 1968 1st edition hardback book.
They told him his name was John Maxwell. He had no choice but to believe them. For the accident had left him without a past to remember or a future to anticipate and the present was only a nightmare of haunting and relentless questions. How had he come by the strange scars on his head and chest? And the color of his hair—it was an unearthly shade. And his inability to comfortably breathe the air about him. Even his accent wasn’t English. He was different and it was terrifying to contemplate all the implications of those differences.
He knew, too, that he was being watched. There were those who purported to know him as John Maxwell and tried to jog his memory; and there were others who kept surveillance from a distance. Then when the two groups started closing in on him he chose to run, little realizing that in flight he would discover the agonizing truth of the man he knew only as John Maxwell, but he feared others knew as “The Alien.”
The denouement of Mr. Davies’ latest book is a shocking surprise for it painfully parallels the present. The vainglorious reasoning of the powerful few will always have disastrous effects on the majority for whom governments are supposedly made to protect.
L. P. Davies is the author of a number of both highly acclaimed suspense and science fiction novels, among them The Paper Dolls, The Artificial Man, The Lampton Dreamers, Psychogeist and his latest Genesis Two.
The Artificial Man (1965) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1965 1st edition hardback book
Scene: England
It's the Year of the State, 2016. But in Bewdy, it's the Year of our Lord, 1966.
Something is wrong--something monstrous and unnatural--and Alan Fraser, whoever he is--whatever he is--finds himself right in the middle of it.
Karen Summer tries to help Alan discover the truth about what's happening. But she sets off a chain of events more frightening--more horrible--than anyone can imagine.
The story begins very quietly in the English village where Alan Fraser had lived all his life. The shopkeepers, the folks next door, the village constable, the delivery man—they were all his friends . . . and then came the girl, the mysterious stranger, and chaos and danger.
Part thriller/mystery and part science fiction. A very engaging novel that will keep you guessing until the very surprising end . . .
Psychogeist (1966) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1966 1st edition hardback book
In a breathtaking sci-fi shocker, L.P. Davies brings together three men from the farthest regions of space and time, spinning a web of excitement and intrigue which turns a peaceful, sleepy village into a nightmare of violence, horror and death.
There was Murchison, the long haired youth in a black leather jacket, a wanderer who stood at the side of a lonely country road thumbing a lift...in any direction.
There was Edward Garvey, who cowered in his room, afraid to sleep because of the fantastic dreams that sleep would bring.
And a million light years away, on the planet Andrida, somewhere on the dark fringes of the Galaxy, there was Argred, the dying man who dragged himself through the caverns of the Lost Moon in search of a legendary secret.
Twilight Journey (1967) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1967 1st edition hardback book
Trips . . .
In the 20th century man progressed from the horse and buggy to the eight cylinder fast-back; from the Sopwith Camel to the Supersonic Transport; from peyote to LSD.
But taking a trip in the 22nd century was faster than supersonic and further-out than psychedelic. Taking a trip in the 22nd century was senduction.
After years of intensive research, Dr. Clayton Solan developed a technique which allowed man’s mind to travel the corridors of history. Through the manipulation of the subconscious, a subject could be transported, for a few hours, to any point in history, to observe and learn. For this short time, the dream world became more real than reality itself.
While the Ministry of Education was allocating great sums of money for research to refine and perfect the new technique, its inventor was having second thoughts. Solan was caught up in one of the age-old moralistic dilemmas of scientific progress as he realized how the corrupt use of his discovery could destroy civilization.
And then, the Bellinger affair occurred, and the doctor finally faced the full and terrifying potential of his invention.
This is the spell-binding tale of Clayton Solan, a man of tomorrow, who must save Sara Bellinger or die himself. He follows a frightening path that can lead to his own loss of reality and strength for survival.
Assignment Abacus (1975) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1975 1st edition hardback book
A security leak in the multimillion-dollar Saturn Industries sends Boyd Maskell, a prospering junior executive and financial wizard, to an isolated house on the Scottish moors for a top-secret meeting designed to uncover the source.
But when Maskell is transported to the site, he soon discovers himself a majority of one, and a strange series of visions and voices begins to make this cool young businessman doubt his own grasp on reality.
Slowly, Maskell begins to realize that a means of escape lies in a secret code he carries in his packet of orders. His one hope is to crack the puzzle before his mind snaps. . . .
A menacing tale of business chicanery and personal terror set against the lonely wilds of the Scottish lowlands.
Possession (1976) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1976 1st edition hardback book
When Morgan Astey arrives in the quiet Wiltshire village of St. Martin to pay his respects to his dearly departed brother—and to clear up the inevitable loose ends surrounding his sudden death—he soon discovers some surprises. For the late Edward Astey has not been laid finally to rest: his grave has been desecrated and his body is missing.
More than one local official believes the vandalism to be connected with the rites of Macumba, a voodoo ritual that brings back the dead to occupy bodies of the living. And this explanation certainly seems plausible when a local handyman begins assuming all the habits and characteristics of the deceased.
But somehow Astey is convinced that the whole episode is involved less with black magic than with the appearance in town of an aging multimillionaire: a man on the market for youth, a commodity even money can’t buy.
The Land of Leys (1979) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1979 1st edition hardback book
An elderly woman in a quiet, wealthy suburb is apparently the victim of a satanic cult. Gradually the evil influence spreads through the community, bringing death and destruction, until the climactic battle between white and black magic--which may be only psychological suggestion, stage props, and old-fashioned criminality.
Part horror and part mystery, a well-written novel that will engage the reader until the bitter, horrific end...
The Shadow Before (1970) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1970 1st edition hardback book.
Lester Dunn led a rather drab, unremarkable life as the owner of a not very prosperous pharmacy in a not very affluent London neighbourhood. Grant Livesey lived a life of quiet luxury: well-appointed house in the country, fine car, tailored clothes, and an impressive portfolio of investments.
Yet, Lester Dunn and Grant Livesey appeared to be the same person. Could the brain operation performed on Dunn have changed him into Livesey? Could one of his existences be merely a dream? Or could it be a frightening premonition of a disaster he was fated to bring upon himself?
Here is L. P. Davies at the top of his form, weaving dream and reality into a masterful tale of suspense and illusion.
What Did I Do Tomorrow? (1972) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2022)
Created from the 1972 1st edition hardback book.
Murder and time transference find Howell Trowman a victim of a past he cannot recollect, and the desperate quarry of a present and future he cannot comprehend.
L.P. Davies' science fiction thriller revisits Davies' intense obsession with lost identity, deception and small english country villages. Enter a world of chain smoking and gentle chauvinism where the recent past becomes the distant future.. One moment the privileged scion of a wealthy family in the pharmaceutical family deciding on his future, the next moment inexplicably a prematurely aged, poverty struck clerk working for his families' arch enemy, The Solmex Corporation: Howell Trowman battles invisible enemies and his own unreliable pysche to try and unravel the mystery of his own compromised identity.
