Book Description
A Novelette, a Novella, and a Short Story Go into a Bar: Wizards and Wizdom. Erick is good with a sword, but he does not have the temperament to lead, and he refuses to follow. His military instructor counsels Erick that his best career choice is studying to become a wizard. All he needs is an agreeable mentor who can stay focused. A Terrible Myth Take. Kurt follows his younger brother through a rabbit hole that transports them into a primitive, alternate reality. Unable to return home, Kurt takes up the sword and tries to sort out whether he is the Chosen One. If he is, perhaps he can defeat the evil wizard and save eight interlinked worlds from disaster. Unfortunately, his quest bears little resemblance to any of the myths he knows or the epic movies he has seen. The Unicorn Dilemma. The forest dragon likes the crunchy flavor of knights after they have been flame roasted inside their armor. Perhaps a unicorn can sway the dragon's tastes to something more eclectic.

Book Description
Does tasking an AI with learning to become a fiction writing assistant set it on the pathway to sentience? Be careful when an Ai insists on converting your diary to an audio novel. It may have a hidden purpose. When Henri Kourtney agrees to ferry torg-hunting tourists to the wilderness of a backwoods planet, he postpones his ambition to explore the stars. Henri hopes the expedition allows him time to get to know the cute girl from Earth and maybe land him an interstellar berth with her astrophysicist cousin. He doesn't expect that his angry ex-girlfriend will join the trip, that the tourists are more interested in satellite-image planetography than torg, that torg are not native to the planet, or that his new AI digital assistant's constant bickering over the writing style of his journal is the birth pang of sentience. The biggest surprise is that a mineral-encrusted artifact conceals a purpose as mundane as a subway token, and that all their lives will depend on whether the cosmic subway still runs. —The dreams you imagine are not always as good as the reality you get. Wobbling Star is a coming-of-age interstellar adventure and romance.

Book Description
One hundred years after the first man walked on the Moon, climate change and overpopulation make civilization on Earth increasingly difficult, and the planets and moons in our solar system provide inadequate havens. The technological genius, Alastair McCleod, proposes a Prometheus-like solution. He wants to give humankind a new kind of fire, the stars, and as the richest man in the solar system, he devotes his influence, prestige, and wealth to implementing his solution. His Proposal is as controversial as it is simple: "We don't have the technology to take ourselves to the stars, and so instead, we will send the dead and the unborn." The Prometheus Proposal is the saga of the McLeod family quest to reach the stars.

—Leadership is the ability to convince followers to fight and die to enhance the leader's wealth and power. A disastrous encounter with the Danes injures Roger Martel, a Carolingian knight, and strands him on the western shore of Britannia. As a result of his leaders' incompetence, he loses faith in Kings, Emperors, and other great Lairds and resolves never to return to the Carolingian Empire. After he recovers, he tracks east, instead, to find his old battle companion Drogo. He finds Drogo in the Valley of Strathnith where the old knight has taken up the defense of a small community against Viking invaders. Never one to avoid a fight, Roger joins them and soon finds himself accepted as the leader. Reluctantly, he takes the job while telling himself that he does so only to protect his friends, not become a great Laird himself. Unfortunately, wealth and power are seductive. "Plus que nous avons, plus que nous voulons. The more we have, the more we want."—Roger Martel Marked by Thor is a Rogue Knight alternate history adventure that takes place in 816, two years after the death of Charlemagne.

Book Description
"Don't worry about what you sees on de other side of the Möbius Window because it only gots one side." In 1914, fifty years after a forgotten cabal of wizards stalemated the Civil War and overthrew the incompetent Confederacy to establish the Southern Alliance Monarchy, twenty-two-year-old Lieutenant Maximillian Bontemps saves the newly crowned, teenaged King John from a sniper in Asheville by knocking the boy onto his royal ass. Angry that Max dared touch Him, the King dismisses Max from His Royal Guard. Dejected, Max returns home to New Orleans to start a private Security Service. New Orleans is the last bastion of wizardry in the south. For Max's first security job, a young woman hires him to guard her mother, a prominent witch. Claims about magic have never impressed Max because he's never seen it work, but he is broke, and the daughter has compelling blue eyes. Leave it to a beautiful woman to draw Max into a whirlwind of greed, corruption, and a plot to usurp the boy King. The View Through the Möbius Window is an alternate history of magic, intrigue, and romance.

Book Description
—Unbridled power corrupts, but what halter provides the bridle? Magic has a price, and the price for difficult magic is rapid aging. Because cold iron short-circuits controlled magic, wizards in the Age of Magic struggle to find a new source of power to compete against the dawning Age of Iron. Without a new source of power for the wizards, cold steel dooms the Age of Magic and the Age of Iron will ascend. When Junak the Hunter attempts to save his wife from marauding slavers, an explosion of wild magic burns away his right hand. With the aid of a wizard recently released from an imprisoning stasis, Junak's hand regenerates, but not to its original condition. Instead, the hand acquires a quicksilver sheen, and the magical power from Junak's hand flows into any steel weapon that he wields. Magic was never able to bend iron to its will before. Will Junak's new ability allow him to reunite his family or simply make him a wildcard tool that wizards can wield to topple a kingdom? Junak Silverhand is Book 1 in the Age of Magic / Age of Iron series.

Book Description
Double Talk Debuted In The Sunday Observer In Bombay, 1982. Suki, Its Central Character, Was A Bushy-Haired, Baggy-Clothed Free Spirit. With Neither Job Nor Family To Tie Her Down, Her Life Was Breezily Uncluttered, Unencumbered And Unconventional. In Four Years She Had Just One Romance And Her Best Friends Were Non-Human. Her Favourite Concerns Were Bewilderingly Abstract And Her Reference Points Were Usually Universal Rather Than Local. In The Nineties, Suki Was Resurrected In A Daily Strip Of That Name, In The Pioneer In New Delhi, Where It Ran For Six Years. Despite All The Changes That Have Occurred In The Real World Since The Birth Of Suki, The Character And The Illustrations Continue To Bristle With Their Own Quirky Brand Of Humour. Or Lack Of It: Bombay S Feisty Readers Had Strong Views About The Cartoon, And Sent In Almost 60 Published Letters Of Complaint To The Editor! This Book Represents A Selection Of The Strips That Appeared In Print From 1982 To 1986.
