Smoke City Keith Rosson Marvin Deitz has some serious problems. His mob-connected landlord is strong-arming him out of his storefront. His therapist has concerns about his stability. He's compelled to volunteer at the local Children's Hospital even though it breaks his heart every week. Oh, and he's also the guilt-ridden reincarnation of Geoffroy Thérage, the French executioner who lit Joan of Arc's pyre in 1431. He has just seen a woman on a Los Angeles talk show claiming to be Joan, and absolution seems closer than it has ever been... but how will he find her? When Marvin heads to Los Angeles to locate the woman who may or may not be Joan, he's picked up hitchhiking by Mike Vale, a self-destructive alcoholic painter traveling to his ex-wife's funeral. As they move through a California landscape populated with "smokes" (ghostly apparitions that've inexplicably begun appearing throughout the southwestern US), each seeks absolution in his own way. In Smoke City, Keith Rosson continues to blur genre and literary fiction in a way that is in turns surprising, heartfelt, brutal, relentlessly inventive, and entirely his own.

Soul Bound The Realm of the Claimed (Realm of the Claimed Series) Linda Foster Ash was just another high school student, intent on living life to the fullest. Until he sold his soul to a demon to save his sister’s life, and fell in love with a fallen angel. Kali has never considered herself normal. She is, after all, one of the original fallen angels, cast from Heaven in the days before mankind, and cursed to serve a dark master as repentance. She’s spent thousands of years battling that fate, and trying to regain her soul. Now the two find themselves bound together by a promise that can't be broken, tied by a blood vow stronger than life itself. Kali has unwittingly gained Ash’s soul, and cannot be rid of it by any means available to her. Ash, on the other hand, cannot escape with his life—or soul—intact. But there are darker fates than being tied to a demon. Like being at the top of the Master of Dark’s kill list. Fighting for the fate of the world.

Falling in love with the boy who will, in the end, mean your own death. It will take an alliance of the fallen angels, answers to some ancient questions, and more courage than Kali thinks she has.

But the end will mean redemption. Freedom. The chance to go back home. Will Kali have the strength she needs? Will she be able to save the boy she loves? Or will she fail, and take the world—and her true love—with her?

Thrax (Angelbound Origins Series) Christina Bauer Myla Lewis has married Prince Lincoln, and now they're expecting! All the after-realms rejoice.

Myla should be happy too, but she has a serious problem. The day after their honeymoon ended, Myla's real husband disappeared. The man who's sharing her bed is an imposter. Myla tries explaining about "Evil Lincoln," but no one will listen. The reason? People think that Myla's supernatural pregnancy is making her cray cray. Mostly because that's what Evil Lincoln is telling everyone, and that man's a great liar. What a creep. There's no way Myla will take this lying down, though. She's going to rescue her man, and she has a pretty good idea where he's being held. With her best friend, Cissy, along to help, Myla sneaks off to Earth. All she has to do is blend in with the humans, avoid Evil Lincoln, and find her real man before the baby arrives. How hard can it be?

Fantasy And Sometimes They Fly Robert Edison Sandiford The disasters of 9/11 trigger a Cataclysm that is unleashed every so many cycles. It can only be averted by the selfless act of the Elect, a trio of exceptional humans who are guided by Milton, a being known as an Elder. The three, all Barbadians, are David Rayside, Marsha Durant and Franck Hurley. And it is their time: to save the world before the deadliest characters of their legends and myths - the baccou, the steel donkey, la djablès, and the heart man - destroy it… All their lives, the Elect have had their abilities: David, the power of flight; Marsha, incredible strength; and Franck, super speed. With great power may come great responsibility, yet the choice to act or not remains theirs. Milton, like his adversary, Mackie (short for Machiavelli), is an Elder who can inform, not influence, the course of events. Are the Elect mature enough to decide what's best for humanity? The longer they take to agree to Milton's plan, which he can't reveal until they are all on board, the more their world is overrun with Caribbean folklore creatures… Set in Bridgetown and Montreal ('where much of the Diaspora live'), And Sometimes They Fly questions notions of the heroic. Where do heroes - a region's but also a culture's heroes - come from?

George Woodcock once noted that, unlike Americans or the British, 'Canadians do not like heroes, and so they do not have them.' Humanity is in trouble if this is also true about Barbadians.

Behind the Mask A Superhero Anthology Kelly Link, Cat Rambo, Carrie Vaughn, Seanan McGuire, Lavie Tidhar, Sarah Pinsker A multi-author collection with stories by award-winning authors Kelly Link, Cat Rambo, Carrie Vaughn, Seanan McGuire, Lavie Tidhar, Sarah Pinsker, Keith Rosson, Kate Marshall, Chris Large and others. It is partially a prose nod to the comic world—the bombast, the larger-than-life, the save-the-worlds and the calls-to-adventure. But it’s also a spotlight on the more intimate side of the genre. The hopes and dreams of our cape-clad heroes. The regrets and longings of our cowled villains. That poignant, solitary view of the world that can only be experienced from behind the mask. The authors in this collection, both established and new, are all dexterous and wonderfully imaginative, each deserving of their own form-fitting uniforms and capes.

The Lotus Saga Nimai Agarwal In this Young Adult fantasy, a young scribe learns that he is part of an ancient order and fated to battle a force that nine warriors before him failed to destroy. This is a quest fantasy in which the young scribe, Rook, leaves his home village and goes on a journey with the Lotus Sword to find the Water of Life. After the death of his mentor, Rook seeks this mythical substance in order to defeat Amaranth, a thief of time. In the process Rook travels through murderous forests, endless deserts, and bends air in order to descend an unscalable cliff. He must find out who his real allies are, and uncover the motivations of a being who lives within him. Eight years ago, Rook was a starving orphan in the town of The Guardians, and the Head Scribe took him in as an apprentice.

Rook came to love reading, and his favourite book is “The Legends of the Blue”. One day, the Scribe tells the young man that he must begin his training with the enchanted Lotus Sword, created by the legendary mys-tic Parthian (the hero of The Legends of the Blue), as it’s the only thing that can destroy Amaranth, a malevolent agent of Time. The fact that Rook can even lift the weapon indicates that he is the Tenth person chosen for the Order, a lineage of warriors who

About the Author: As a child, I created action-figure adventures combining what I watched on TV, read in books, or experienced in school with my imagination to create epic battles, undying romances, and forged alliances. Fonzie from Happy Days defeats Darth Vader, Barbie courts Stretch Armstrong, and GI Joe is beamed to the USS Enterprise and befriends Captain Kirk. I hit an age though, where responsibility replaced reverie. My box of action figures was forgotten somewhere in a cobwebbed corner of our basement and the fantasy generator inside of me was powered down, dismantled, and sold for scrap. I got undergraduate and graduate computer science and engineering degrees and poured my energy into information technology, working with organizations around the globe as diverse as communications, commodities, and candy.

Dreamwish Beasts & Snarks Mike Resnick At times humorous, at other times serious, this endearing collection of short fiction explores many concepts regarding fantastical or futuristic safaris. Detailing the many contrasting pitfalls of hunting, a hardboiled detective attempts to locate a unicorn in New York City on New Year's Day, and in a later tale, must track down a millennia-old vampire in order to save his assistant. In the Nebula-nominated story "Hunting the Snark," a classical big-game hunt on a newly discovered planet develops similarities to Lewis Carroll's famous poem, yet ends with a surprising twist. In "The Soul Eater" and "Nicobar Lane -- The Soul Eater's Story", separate views are offered from the hunter and the hunted in an eccentric love story that incorporates elements of Moby Dick and the legend of the Flying Dutchman. Offering a few somber features, "Safari 2103 AD" looks at a world where the number of wild animals can be counted on one's fingers, while in "Bwana," colonists leave industrialised Africa to create a paradise on a new world, only to discover how fragile they are. Imaginative and captivating, each narrative offers a unique spin on what it means to be a hunter.

About the Author: Mike Resnick has won an impressive five Hugos and been nominated for twenty-seven more.

Edison’s Conquest of Mars The Original 1898 Sequel to H G Wells’ War of the Worlds Garrett Putnam Serviss In 1897 H G Wells created one of the greatest science fiction masterpieces ever written – 'The War of The Worlds'. The story was serialised in newspapers across America and proved to be so popular that the Hearst newspaper group commissioned a sequel, to be written by their own science editor -- Garrett Putnam Serviss. This sequel appeared in February of 1898 and quickly entered into the annals of science fiction history. It is one of the rarest and possibly one of the most important stories ever to appear in the genre. Serviss procured the co-operation of the famous inventor Thomas Edison and wove a totally distinct and astonishing tale of humans invading Mars. Whereas Wells had composed a story of human suffering, Serviss invented the space techno-thriller. The birthplace of the hand-held phaser-gun. It has asteroid mining and the first truly functional spacesuits. It is a cornucopia of technical ingenuity. The hero of the story is Edison himself. This is the first time this story has appeared, complete and unabridged with the original illustrations since the winter of 1898. First appearance ever outside the USA. Comes with a 13-page essay by editor Robert Godwin and original cover art by Tom Miller. Includes first appearances in fiction: Science: Functional space suits, Manned manoeuvring EVA guns, Using the moon to train for Mars, Using the Martian moons as staging posts, Asteroid mining for platinum group metals, Exploration and accurate description of an asteroid, Accurate description of light and shadow in space, Scientist-astronauts, Accurate understanding of the moon's history.

Folklore: Space combat, Alien abductions, Disintegrator guns, Aliens building the pyramids, Oxygen pills, Cigar-shaped alien spacecraft.

From the Files of the Time Rangers Richard Bowes, Kage Baker Greek gods are posing as humans and pulling humanity's strings in this mosaic novel about time travel, alternate worlds, and the making of a president. The Time Rangers, Apollo's chosen servants, are in charge of preserving the peace and harmony along the Time Stream, the pathway between various worlds and times, but Apollo has given them a new task--to protect Timothy Macauley, the chosen one who must become the president of the United States or else witness the destruction of humankind. Standing in the Rangers's way are other gods: Mercury, who's working his wiles in the world of public relations; Diana, cruising New York City in the guise of an NYPD detective; Pluto, who is in the process of grooming his successor; and Dionysus, who has caused the annihilation of an alternate world.

How can she even be sure where her loyalties lie?

And -- the most formidable question of all -- will she ever be free of the intensely beguiling Mr. Montefiore?
