Overview: This book was created in a limited print edition of two hundred copies to celebrate Tachyon Publications' sixteenth anniversary. From Metropolis to the pre-technicolor Oz, take a fantastical journey through the wildest frontiers of the silent films of the silver screen. Ancient Rockets brings you the earliest (and cheesiest) special effects, the best and worst directors, the tour de forces and the utter trainwrecks. Forty-nine cinematic odysseys will take you on A Trip to the Moon and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, swinging upon jungle vines with Tarzan and into the terrifying laboratory of Dr. Frankenstein, from, The Adventures of Prince Achmed all the way to Modern Times. These are the pinnacles and the pitfalls of science fiction’s silent movies as affectionately viewed by Kage Baker (the Company series) with acerbic wit and historical acumen. Ancient Rockets presents you to the mad scientists, terrifying fiends, flimsy plots, and glorious landscapes that have inspired generations of fans and filmmakers alike.
