Book Description
Lisp has been hailed as the world’s most powerful programming language, but its cryptic syntax and academic reputation can be enough to scare off even experienced programmers. Those dark days are finally over—Land of Lisp brings the power of functional programming to the people! With his brilliantly quirky comics and out-of-this-world games, longtime Lisper Conrad Barski teaches you the mysteries of Common Lisp. You’ll start with the basics, like list manipulation, I/O, and recursion, then move on to more complex topics like macros, higher order programming, and domain-specific languages. Then, when your brain overheats, you can kick back with an action-packed comic book interlude! Along the way you’ll create (and play) games like Wizard Adventure, a text adventure with a whiskey-soaked twist, and Grand Theft Wumpus, the most violent version of Hunt the Wumpus the world has ever seen. You'll learn to: –Master the quirks of Lisp’s syntax and semantics –Write concise and elegant functional programs –Use macros, create domain-specific languages, and learn other advanced Lisp techniques –Create your own web server, and use it to play browser-based games –Put your Lisp skills to the test by writing brain-melting games like Dice of Doom and Orc Battle With Land of Lisp, the power of functional programming is yours to wield.

Book Description
In The Fallen Elves, book three of The Second Neoluzian War epic fantasy series, the wicked Orc dictator Arkan Spiritstrike, his wizards and military generals are on the verge of laying waste to the elven cities of Balenwood and Oakmantle after destroying the human settlements in the northern lands. This is a time of desperation for the good races because Darius has been lost to lower Neoluzia due to the Gathering of Replenishment spell cast upon him by members of the secretive wizard guild, the Veiled Institution. David Parr, a human from Earth summoned by Darius that reluctantly remains in Neoluzia to assist the Salon of Enlightenment against their Orc enemies, must find the great necromancer Termaplix if the land is to be saved. Finding Termaplix may be impossible however, for the hero from the War of Cleansing has been hidden in a secret place due to unknown circumstances one thousand years ago--a tomb long since forgotten to the current generations in the land. Perilously stifled in their shift away from the old magic and the forced elimination of history, those that Parr seeks to help against the enemy from the north must first learn to embrace the gift of magic again, an art banished in antiquity by the deception of peace and the deep wounds of the surviving populations in the first war.

Book Description
Orc boys sometimes grow up to be wicked... On a dreamlike day, an impulsive princess kissed a dying orc boy in a sunlit garden. Years later, failing to save her kingdom which balances on the brink of revolt, she flees a nightmarish reality to track down her exiled elven love. He's been ruthlessly slain. And the remorseless orc who killed him cages her in his fortress. He locks her behind bars by day and demands too much of her by night. Gradually, though, he unveils to her his world, his people, his tormented past, his embittered soul, and she stumbles into moments of unanticipated resplendence and overpowering bliss. The lines between good and bad blur. But she has to stand her ground. She has to shield her heart. Because how can a captive confined to a gilded cage freely give a heart whose love has blossomed in a poisoned prison? Reviewer reactions: "...really perversely compelling in some awful way... I love, love, love, love OMG love that he is all, "Pretend I'm him - your lover." So many feels! It's so f*cked up and so great." Trigger warning: a fiercely emotional captive/captor romance, kissing/touching for trade ('do this for x'), and a heroine who will survive it all

Book Description
In One Cycle of Darkness, book four of The Second Neoluzian War epic fantasy series, the Orc armies commanded by the wicked Orc dictator Arkan Spiritstrike have destroyed the dark elven city of Balenwood in Frontentia as their conquest of the lower lands continues unabated. The very dangerous 8th Orc legions commanded by the feared General Deathpox the Culler, now moves to cut off the dwarves of Carpallachia from providing assistance to the other endangered peoples of the land. At the salon castle, David Parr and his companions have unlocked the secret location of the great necromancer Termaplix using a combination of information that they have gathered in the land since the human stranger arrived in Neoluzia and a gift from Queen Tara in the Dagger of Sight. However, with the destruction of Balenwood and the pending Orc attack upon the light elven city of Oakmantle, David Parr's decision to remain in Neoluzia forces his widening involvement in the war and the demands placed upon him from those that face the darkness of the enemy from the north.

Book Description
Down the mountain, one orc who asks too many questions tumbles, fleeing his past, with only an elven horse, a pair of boots, and an old book for company. Below the whole world awaits him, filled with humans, elves, trolls, and a thousand other monsters that make a habit of killing little orcs like Talking-Wind. Worse than any of them is the Lady of Firebrand Peak, the dragon who told Talking-Wind to stay put and wait to be eaten like a good orc. Orcs hate questions, but the one thing they hate more than orcs that ask too many questions is an orc looking for all the answers. The pursuit of dangerous knowledge only ever leads to trouble for the tribe. The Lady is not kind, nor is she forgiving. If Talking-Wind wishes to have any kind of chance to survive he will have to understand why dragons are what they are, and what makes dragons do what dragons do. If he can stay one step ahead of the Lady of Firebrand Peak maybe, just maybe, he might even find a way to fight back. Talking-Wind will need answers. And a lot of them.

Book Description
On the northern continent of Tusstar, the Alliance of Perentol has endured for millennia under the guidance of the prosperous empire of Balanzar. The evils of generations past are all but destroyed, and the empire is thriving under the wise King Gothmir of Castar. But in the shadows, dark forces plot to shatter the centuries-long peace. Prince Azgor of Castar—last remaining heir to the Imperial Throne—has been kidnapped, and King Gothmir has gathered the greatest heroes in all of the Alliance, the Elite, to hunt down the orc chieftains who committed the heinous crime. As Balanzar’s most legendary warriors pursue the savage orcs, it may seem that this audacious offense will be justly punished, but that is not to be. Far more sinister evils still lurk on the edge of reality itself, awaiting their chance to overthrow the hated Alliance. These dark entities, the puppet masters behind the entire maelstrom of violence that threatens to engulf the Alliance, will stop at nothing to ensure that their malicious ends are met and the peace that has for so long enclosed the world is shattered. The empire shall know chaos.
