And now that he has finally made it home to Earth, he finds out that it is about to be blown up - again.

Anderson Lake is a company man, AgriGen's Calorie Man in Thailand. Under cover as a factory manager, Anderson combs Bangkok's street markets in search of foodstuffs thought to be extinct, hoping to reap the bounty of history's lost calories. There, he encounters Emiko. One of the New People, Emiko is not human; instead, she is an engineered being, creche-grown and programmed to satisfy the decadent whims of a Kyoto businessman, but now abandoned to the streets of Bangkok. Regarded as soulless beings by some, devils by others, New People are slaves, soldiers, and toys of the rich in a chilling near future in which calorie companies rule the world, the oil age has passed, and the side effects of bio-engineered plagues run rampant across the globe.

de Lint, Charles
Eyes Like Leaves
Publisher's signed edition with signature page tipped in. Magic is already fading in the Green Isles, but myths still walk the world. The children of the ancient gods are engaged in one final confrontation, but when legendary creatures wage war, it's the ordinary people who suffer the consequences - unless they can find a way to bring an end to the hostilities. The trouble is, not all of them are able to pick a side.
Sequel to Moonheart, incorporating 'Ascian in Rose', 'Westlin Wind', and 'Ghostwalk'. Built at a point where the leylines meet, upon land that was once a sacred site, Ottawa's Tamson House is the gateway to a spirit world, where Celtic and Native American magicks mingle and leak into the mortal world.

Defoe, Gideon
Pirates #4: The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon
Crushed with disappointment at the Pirate of the Year Awards, our Pirate Captain decides that it's time for a career change. And so with his loyal (if soon-to-be-dismayed) crew, he sets off for St. Helena. But the Captain's plan for a quiet island life of beekeeping is interrupted by the arrival of the recently deposed Napoleon Bonaparte. Will the island's 28-mile circumference be big enough to contain two of history's greatest egos? Has the Pirate Captain finally met his match? And, lest we forget the most important question: which of them has the best hat? A swashbuckling tale of lavish tea parties, planning regulations, educational museum exhibits, and naked political ambition. And, unlike all of its thrilling predecessors, there is not much ham involved.

Novel, 372 pages, Mass Market Paperback, 1st Edition
It is commonly said that history is written by the victors: the narrator chooses the events that will be part of the story, and the narrative explains their meaning. In fiction, narrative conventions and cliches make writing and reading familiar stories easier, but also impede writers' efforts to tell unfamiliar stories. Essays from new and established sf and fantasy authors as well as several scholars consider the politics of narrative manifested in fiction, history, and science. Is narrative inherently dangerous? Empowering? Or even liberating?

And now young Guth Bandar suspects the collective unconscious has become aware of itself. Worse, it has an agenda. And worst of all, it can force Bandar to go deep into the darkest forests of the mind, where the only escape from madness is death.

Guardians of Ga'Hoole #04: The Siege
Ages 9 and up. The Pure Ones launch an attack upon the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. The noble owls who live there must fight fiercely to protect their resources and defend their honor. Meanwhile, Soren is called upon by the elders to lead a mission. He and his crew will have to enter St. Aggie's as spies, then leave unnoticed once their work is done.
Ages 9 and up. Soren's sister Eglantine is falling under the spell of a strange nightly dream. Then, just as Soren notices her trancelike state, Eglantine disappears, and the dreams become a deadly waking nightmare that puts the Great Tree of Ga'Hoole in terrible danger. Soren must lead the Chaw of Chaws to rescue his sister.
Ages 9 and up. A great battle is drawing near. In preparation, Soren and his band must fly to the Northern Kingdoms to find allies and study the grim art of war. Meanwhile, St. Aggie's has fallen to the Pure Ones. If they are not stopped, they will launch another, deadlier attack against the great tree. And without allies from the north, Ga'Hoole will surely fall.
Ages 9 and up. A hatchling is born: Nyroc, son of Kludd, fallen leader of the Pure Ones, and his evil mate Nyra. Born from evil, trained to evil, Nyroc is destined to fulfill his father's terrible plan. But doubt grows in Nyroc's heart, fed by forbidden legends of a great tree where noble owls live in peace. And a light dawns in Nyroc's gizzard, nourished by friendship. A day is nearing when Nyroc must choose to fulfill his destiny - or to defy it.
Ages 9 and up. Haunted by his past, hunted by the Pure Ones, Nyroc flies alone. He yearns to go to the great tree, where good and learned owls do noble deeds, but he cannot. But Nyroc has glimpsed hope - and a new destiny - in the flame over his father's bones. In search of that destiny, he trains his gaze and beats his wings toward a barren landscape where fire splits the sky - The Beyond the Beyond.
Guardians of Ga'Hoole #09: Legends #1: The First Collier
Ages 9 and up. An ancient malevolence has been loosed from the past to threaten the great tree. With his dying breath, Ezylryb tells Soren and Coryn to read the legends hidden in his library, in which a young king and queen struggle to keep peace while Grank, their most loyal friend and supporter, studies embers and flames in a distant land. Then a desperate plea comes from the king, and Grank rushes to the aid of his friends.
Guardians of Ga'Hoole #10: Legends #2: The Coming of Hoole
Ages 9 and up. A tale of chaos, betrayal, and nachtmagen unfolds in the second of three ancient legends. A grizzled collier will tend a young prince in exile. An owl who would be a monk will don battle claws. A mother who is also a queen will raise an army. And under the shower of embers in the shadow of the Sacred Volcanoes, a king will be born - or die.
Guardians of Ga'Hoole #11: Legends #3: To Be A King
Ages 9 and up. Nachtmagen rages as hagfiends and traitorous lords conspire to defeat the new king. With Grank and Theo at his side, Hoole must forge an army of free owls strong enough to defeat the forces of darkness. The power of the one Ember fires the young king's gizzard, and he grows great. But for young Hoole there is a danger much closer, for magic - even good magic - brings great peril to those who wield it.
Ages 9 and up. Soren and the Band are back. Coryn has retrieved the ember and it seems a golden age is dawning at the great tree. But the young king, haunted by the suspicion that haggish blood flows in his veins, hunts for the truth. Meanwhile, back at the tree, the influence of the ember is strong - and strange. The tree changes, as do the guardians left to govern in the king's absence. Otulissa objects to the strange new ways, and her outspokenness puts her in grave danger. Someone must get word to Soren and the Band. But who?
Ages 9 and up. Coryn, Soren, and the Chaw of Chaws ride a river of wind to discover a realm of endless wonders where dwells a society of owls, the like of which they've never seen. Meanwhile, journeying in the known kingdoms, Primrose and Eglantine stumble upon a plot by Nyra to kill the young king and his companions in a distant land. Too late to get help from the tree, the young guardians must find their way to the strange new realmto warn Coryn and the others.
Ages 9 and up. Slowly, inexorably, the Striga, a mysterious blue owl from the Middle Kingdom, gains control over Coryn's mind. The Band is banished from the great tree, and the Striga institutes a harsh new regime that will not stop until learning itself - the very foundation of the tree - becomes suspect and books are consigned to flame. Somehow the Band must open Coryn's eyes to the Striga's malign influence. But how, when they are exiled?
Ages 9 and up. The Striga and Nyra join forces to conjure a malignant power. When news of their alliance reaches the great tree, the guardians call to good creatures everywhere: gadfeathers, kraals, polar bears, green-owls, puffins, seagulls, and dire wolves. An army of free creatures marches, swims, and flies to the Hot Gates of the Beyond, where the fate of the six owl kingdoms will be decided once and for all.
Conquered and forced into servitude, in desperation the Athsheans abandon their strictures against violence. But by fighting back, they endanger the very foundations of their society. Every blow against the invaders is a blow to the Athsheans' humanity, and once the killing starts, there is no turning back.

Her home clan isn't as agreeable to letting her go as it first seemed. Someone is stealing pilots in the Low Port. The man she loves isn't entirely the man she thought he was.

It's a boom economy, the sweatshop of Europe, the bazaar of central Asia, the key to the immense gas wealth of Russia and central Asia - and it seems like everybody wants a piece of it.

Landing in the ancient nation of Spyre, Venera encounters new enemies and new friends (or at least convenient allies). Whom can she trust - or manipulate in order to survive?

When he discovers a curse upon the manor house, he and Frederick must keep the lord's new baby safe and rid the Schofield family of the curse.
When his brother made a bargain with a demon, Jesse learned there was only one way to save him: put up his own soul as collateral, and fight the demon to the death. He freed his brother, and became one of the Champions, who put their souls on the line to save others. But someone has changed the game, and experienced Champions are losing battles at a much higher rate. If Jesse can't figure out the new rules, his next battle may be his last.
