1244	Sailing to Sarantium	1998		In a long-awaited new work that evokes - and vividly recaptures - the glamour of and decadence of the early Byzantine Empire, Guy Gavriel Kay continues to blaze the trail of his fictional accomplishments, marrying history with high fantasy, the imagined with the known, to produce his most ambitious work yet.\n\nIn a world of intrigue and danger and the threat of war, Valerius II of Sarantium and his brilliant Empress find themselves contending with pagan Bassanids to the east, barbarian tribes to the west and north, and the plots of their own bejewelled court. The Emperor, subtle and ambitious, seeks to expand his Empire, recapturing lost homelands to the west. He also intends to build the largest, most sumptuous holy Sanctuary the world has ever known, a monument to his reign and to the glory of the one God - although his soldiers would rather he paid them. Meanwhile, in scarcely subdued provinces of the Empire, policed by these same restive soldiers, savage pagan rites - illegal and heretical - continue to be practised in the dark forests.\n\nOnto this stage steps Caius Crispus, known as Crispin, a master mosaicist from the west, making the long, perilous journey through windswept wilderness to the vast triple walls of Sarantium, city of cities. It is an open question in his own mind where the greater dangers lie. Among other things, he carries a secret message, and travels under a false name - having undertaken the journey instead of his summoned older partner in response to an imperial search for artisans. Men have died for less than either of these things. And before Crispin can veer reach Sarantium he will have to deal with being in the heartland of pagan rituals one bleak morning on the Day of the Dead.\n\nSailing to Sarantium weaves an utterly compelling story of colour and narrative verve and magic, of people from all walks of life, as real as any historical figure, and of the magnificent city that serves as a magnet for so many lives. The first volume of the two that make up THE SARANTINE MOSAIC marks a new level, both in fantasy literature and in story-telling.	2003-06-28 00:00:00	2003-10-31 00:00:00	1	3	1	3	58

26	The Early Asimov: Volume 1	1973		In the late 1930s a new young talent began to make his mark on the science\nfiction scene with a succession of outstanding stories in the various SF\nmagazines of the time. His name: Isaac Asimov. He was later to become world-\nrenowned as the author of such classics of modern science fiction as the epic\nFOUNDATION trilogy and the robot stories in which he formulated the now famous\nThree Laws of Robotics.\n\nTHE EARLY ASIMOV (published in three volumes in Panther Science Fiction) is an\nunsurpassed showcase of the story-telling brilliance of the young Asimov. Each\nstory is prefaced by Dr. Asimov with fascinating biographical details of how\nand when he came to write it as well as his own critical evaluation of it. The\nresult is a doubly rich science fiction treat: a collection of tales that makes\nengrossing entertainment in its own right and, in addition, gives the reader a\nfirst-hand look at the development of the twentieth century's undisputed Grand\nMaster of science fiction.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2	1	1	4	9

91	Forward the Foundation	1994		For more than forty years, Isaac Asimov thrilled millions of readers with his bestselling Foundation series, a spellbinding tale of the future that spans thousands of years and dozens of worlds. Completed just weeks before his death in April 1992, Forward the Foundation is the seventh and concluding volume of this masterwork.\n\nIn the earlier Foundation novels, Hari Seldon, the guiding genius of the Foundation, was a figure of history. By going back to the great mathematician's life, in Forward the Foundation, Asimov fills in the remaining gaps in his epic story. Asimov acknowledged that he always regarded Seldon as his alter ego, and this novel is all the more poignant for the fact that he himself died only weeks after writing about Seldon's death.\n\nA resounding tour de force, Forward the Foundation offers the dramatic climax to the Foundation series, and perhaps the greatest moment in science fiction to date.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2	1	1	1	11

942	Dragonsbane	1986		It was said to be impossible to slay a dragon. But Lord John Aversin earned himself the name of Dragonsbane once in his life and had become the subject of ballad and legend. Fired by the romance of his tale, young Gareth travelled far and wide across the Winterlands from the King's court to persuade the hero to rid the Deep of Ylferdun of the great Black Dragon, Morkeleb.\n\nWith them on their quest went Jenny Waynest, half-taught mage and mother of Aversin's sons.\n\nMorkeleb was the oldest and mightiest of the dragon race - the most fearsome opponent that the Dragsonbane had ever had to face. But Morkeleb was not the greatest danger that awaited John Aversin and his witch-woman. The once-ordered court had fallen into decadence and dissolution, and the beautiful sorceress Zyerne held the King in her sway. Just as Morkeleb posed the hardest test of skill and courage for the Dragonsbane, so Jenny Waynest would find her powers pitted against an adversary as deadly as the Black Dragon, and infinitely more evil.	2003-03-17 00:00:00	2003-03-17 00:00:00	2	1	1	12	49

They alone hold the power to change the course of history... and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.\n\nThe God Dahlaine brought the Dreamers into the world of the Elder Gods and now he wishes he'd thought harder about the consequences.

Dahlaine is soon on the scene riding his thunderbolt, the Dreamers are threatening to dream, invasion from beyond the sea is rumoured, and war is about to happen...	2008-03-18 00:00:00	2008-03-28 00:00:00	1	3	3	7	25

They like it down here (or, in Crowley's case, up here).\n\nSo they've got no alternatives but to stop the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the Witchfinder army (footnote: all two of them) and - somehow - stop it all happening.\n\nAbove all (or, in Aziraphale's case, below all) they need to find and kill the Antichrist, currently the most powerful creature on Earth.\n\nThis is a shame.\n\nBecause he's eleven years old, loves his dog even though it's really a Satanic hellhound under all that hair, really cares about the environment and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as a son. He's also totally invulnerable, and a nice kid.\n\nAnd if that isn't enough, they've still got Sunday to deal with.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	3	1	1	27

1430	The System of the World	2004		'Tis done.\n\nThe world is a most confused and unsteady place -- especially London, center of finance, innovation, and conspiracy -- in the year 1714, when Daniel Waterhouse makes his less-than-triumphant return to England's shores. Aging Puritan and Natural Philosopher, confidant of the high and mighty and contemporary of the most brilliant minds of the age, he has braved the merciless sea and an assault by the infamous pirate Blackbeard to help mend the rift between two adversarial geniuses at a princess's behest. But while much has changed outwardly, the duplicity and danger that once drove Daniel to the American Colonies is still coin of the British realm.\n\nNo sooner has Daniel set foot on his homeland when he is embroiled in a dark conflict that has been raging in the shadows for decades. It is a secret war between the brilliant, enigmatic Master of the Mint and closet alchemist Isaac Newton and his archnemesis, the insidious counterfeiter Jack the Coiner, a.k.a. Jack Shaftoe, King of the Vagabonds. Hostilities are suddenly moving to a new and more volatile level, as Half-Cocked Jack plots a daring assault on the Tower itself, aiming for nothing less than the total corruption of Britain's newborn monetary system.\n\nUnbeknownst to all, it is love that set the Coiner on his traitorous course; the desperate need to protect the woman of his heart -- the remarkable Eliza, Duchess of Arcachon-Qwghlm -- from those who would destroy her should he fail. Meanwhile, Daniel Waterhouse and his Clubb of unlikely cronies comb city and country for clues to the identity of the blackguard who is attempting to blow up Natural Philosophers with Infernal Devices -- as political factions jockey for position while awaiting the impending death of the ailing queen; as the "holy grail" of alchemy, the key to life eternal, tantalizes and continues to elude Isaac Newton, yet is closer than he ever imagined; as the greatest technological innovation in history slowly takes shape in Waterhouse's manufactory.\n\nEverything that was will be changed forever ...	2006-11-17 00:00:00	2007-11-11 00:00:00	1	3	1	5	62

Erecting a foothold in the Nexus, the lord has found a way to bring Haplo through the Death Gate into the four realms. His mission: To explore, to uncover lost history, to find his ancient oppressors - and to help his master establish dominion over the sundered world.\n\nIn Elven Star Haplo journeys to steamy Pryan, a world where never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain gave birth to a vigorous jungle so vast that humans and elves live in the trees and only dwarves live anywhere near the ground. From the treetops the aristocratic elves serve as weapon merchants to the other races, whose incessant warfare sends a steady stream of profits and essential resources skyward.\n\nHaplo's mandate was to sow chaos among Pryan's inhabitants, to prime them for eventual Patryn rule. But the constant wars have already achieved this. The generations of dissent and race hatred will not heal even under the threat of annihilation at the hands of the legendary tytans. Crying doom and armed with a magic powerful enough to rival Haplo's own, a human priest and his dragon ride in the vanguard of destruction. Now, Haplo's salvation depends on his ability to overcome the tytans - but not even he knows the way to conquer the renegade giants.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	3	1	5	11

But here she was, forced to join a serious and dangerous quest to recover that stolen Orb. No one believed in sorcery. Yet Garion's aunt and grandfather seemed to be the fabled sorcerers Polgara and Belgarath, who would have to be thousands of years old. Even young Garion was learning to do things that could only be sorcery.\n\nGarion! He was nothing but a farm boy, totally unsuitable for an Imperial Princess. Then why did she have such an urge to teach him, to brush his tangled hair, and to comfort him?\n\nNow he was going to a strange tower in the centre of all he believed evil, to face some horrible, powerful magician.

669	Polgara the Sorceress	1997		Polgara is the pre-eminent woman in all the world. She could have chosen any king or emperor for a husband and lived in a palace. She chose instead a simple country blacksmith, Durnik, and lives on a remote farmstead. Twin children keep her as busy as she has ever been in her long and eventful life - busy and, at last, content. But, in the dead of winter, her peace of mind is ruined when her nephew, the Rivan King Garion, and his wife Ce'Nedra visit.\n\nHaving read Belgarath's story, Ce'Nedra feels distinctly cheated. The Old Wolf left out so much! The Eternal Man in all senses, Belgarath wrote nothing of Polgara's years at Vo Wacune, nor of what happened at Gar og Nadrak.

There are two worlds running side by side, and if Geran doesn't know about them, evil may once more rise from the City of Endless Night ...\n\nCe'Nedra is no match for Polgara, the most fabled sorceress the world has ever known, who has no desire to tell her tale.

And so, finally, the full truth of The Belgariad is revealed, the story of wizardry and politics, doom and evil, love and magic. Above all, the story of Polgara, a beautiful woman whose constancy and inner power have been the foundation of all the luck and love that have saved the world.\n\nPolgara the Sorceress is the crowning achievement of the great fantasy epic which began with The Belgariad and continued with The Malloreon. Once again David and Leigh Eddings display the epic imagination, humour, and storytelling power which have made this series the most popular fantasy of modern times.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	3	1	1	25

She had told me I bore the blood of a cursed line, a line of sorcerors and outcasts.  It seemed I could not fight that; it would manifest itself as it chose.  Were not my steps set inevitably towards darkness? I turned and fled in silence.\n\nRaised in an isolated cove in Kerry, the young sorceress Fainne has been sent to live at Sevenwaters and burdened with a terrible task.

Come spring, the privateer Melanie was due in Ylith, and its captain could be counted on for a swift conveyance away for sure, and likely not to murder them in their sleep. That would be bad for business. But away where?\n\nThat wasn't Durine's worry, Kethol would surely be able to find the three of them somebody who needed men who knew which part of the sword you used to cut with and which part you used to butter your bread, and Pirojil would be able to negotiate a price a least half again what the employer was ready to pay. All Durine would have to do was kill people. That was fine with him.\n\nDurine, Kethol and Pirojil are three mercenaries who have spent twenty years fighting other people's battles: against the Tsurani and the Bugs and the goblins, and now it seems they've run out of Tsurani, Bugs and goblins to kill. The prospect of a few months of garrison duty offers a welcome respite but then they are given an assignment that seems, on the surface, like cushy work - to protect a lady and here husband and deliver them safely to the city of LaMut. It should all have been so simple...	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-05-26 00:00:00	1	2	1	5	25

1017	Salvage	1990		Civilized people are never prepared for the collapse of civilization. One day, without warning, there is no water in the taps, no shows on TV. You would trade your whole house for a loaded pistol so you could dare to open the door.\n\nOnly six missiles flew in World War III, but that was enough to change the world drastically. A few communities are trying to hold on. Word has spread: Head for the Rocky Mountains. There's peace there, and enough to eat, and thousands make the dangerous trek across the plains.

With Duke Alaric Morgan - himself half-Deryni - by his side, the fourteen-year-old King Kelson prepares to ride the approaching storm.	2003-03-22 00:00:00	2003-03-22 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	7

1030	Camber the Heretic	1981		Camber of Culdi, most powerful of the magical Deryni race, was worried. Twelve years before, he had "died" and assumed the form of Bishop Alister Cullen, in order to guide the human king Cinhil and ensure peace between Deryni and humans in Gwynedd. In most ways, he and the Camberian Council he headed had been successful.\n\nBut now Cinhil was dying, leaving the kingdom to his sickly young son Alroy, in whose name a council of regents would govern. And Camber knew those regents to be evil men, greedy for power and filled with hatred for all Deryni. Once they ruled, no Deryni would be safe. Already the persecutions were beginning, with terror, rapine and genocide soon to follow. Even the Church could offer no refuge.\n\nThe only hope of Camber and the Council lay in a discovery by the healer Rhys, who had learned * without understanding * to block off all Deryni talents. So blocked, some few Deryni might go underground, undetectable as other than merely humans.\n\nBut that meant that the race of Deryni could be saved only by being destroyed as Deryni!	2003-03-22 00:00:00	2003-03-22 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	8

1075	Damia	1993		Of all the Rowan's children, Damia was the most brilliant, the most difficult, the loneliest, and the one who had inherited the greatest Talent. It was obvious from childhood that she was going to be a Prime, with all the honours, burdens and strains of the elite class. Her one friend was Afra - older, wiser, Talented in his own way, but 'belonging' almost exclusively to the Rowan and the workings of Callisto Station. As Damia grew up, her Talent became almost too strong to control, and the solution was separation - from her parents, from Callisto, from her beloved Afra. Sent to the distant planet of Deneb, to her strange and gifted grandmother, Damia began the training necessary to turn her into a Prime of extraordinary gifts - a Prime who could contact the minds of approaching aliens though space, some of whom threatened to totally destroy the worlds of the Nine Star League.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-04-29 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	20
1076	Damia's Children	1994		Damia and Afra Raven-Lyon had reared their children in a brilliant and unorthodox way - 'pairing' them when six months old with the furry, one-eyed Mrdinis, the only other sentient being in the Alliance, who could communicate with humans by their 'dream messages.' Together, Man and Mrdini worked to create prosperous worlds and guard against the terrible threat of the annihilating Hivers. \n\nAnd now, in the deeps of Space, Mrdini scouts had crossed the path of three Hive ships -- ships that were giant hulks of cell units, bearing the queens and workers out into space, to breed and multiply and destroy wherever they found a viable planet. \n\nIt was the four elder children of Damia -- Laria, Thian, Rojer and Zara -- all uniquely talented in their various ways, who were to play their part, helped by their life-long Mrdini friends, in the conquering and investigation of the alien threat of the Hivers.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-04-29 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	20

1077	Lyon's Pride	1994		The survival technique of the Hivers was terrifying -- and brilliant. Their huge Sphere ships, controlled by the Many Mind of ten to sixteen queens, surged out into space. When an appropriate planet was found, the Hivers destroyed any and every variety of indigenous life, the queens propagated, and when the new world was full, more ships were sent out, the colonization repeated until no planet, no species, least of all Man and Mrdini, was safe.\n\nThe furry and courageous Mrdini had fought the Hivers for centuries, many dying bravely in an attempt to save their own worlds. Now Mrdini and Man combined to form the Alliance -- and Humankind had their own weapons to offer -- the power and might of the Talents who could not only communicate silently with each other, but could project cargoes, ships and themselves across the deeps of space.\n\nThe four children of Damia were primes amongst the Talents, and all their skills were desperately needed, for the Hivers' terrible Sphere ships were still thrusting through space, unfathomable, impenetrable, and carrying death in their labyrinthine depths.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-04-29 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	20

Then her life became threatened and she found herself isolated at the very heart of the planet, knowing that she alone held the power to confront and destroy the evil that had permeated the world of Optheria.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-11-24 00:00:00	1	1	1	6	20

350	Greetings, Carbon-Based Bipeds!	1998	Collected Essays: 1934-1998\nNOTE: all subbook dates are estimates based on decade written.\nMuch of the material in this book is repetitive.  Much also, is not attempting to tell anything interesting, rather review books, write intro's etc.	Greetings, Carbon-Based Bipeds!\n\nThe most visionary and versatile thinker of this century gathers together in a single volume his most significant and prophetic writings to present a personal view of the twentieth century. Each essay has a new introduction by Clarke.\n\nIn these essays we witness the awesome workings of Clarke's intellect as he predicts the role of geosynchronous satellites decades before they existed; anticipates the internet decades before it happened; reports from Kennedy Space Center; scripts the best sf movie ever made; discusses Star Wars, giant squid, and numerous other fascinating topics.\n\nSir Arthur's bona fide scientific understanding combined with a generosity of spirit, the interests of a new renaissance man, a sublime lack of false modesty and a great flair for the dramatic. He has been both a technological prophet and a cultural conscience for many decades of this century, celebrating the great scientific powers of man - and simultaneously warning of the perils of a world where power and greed reign unchecked. Clarke can uniquely provide a coda for our century.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-03-12 00:00:00	1	2	3	7	25

461	The Ships of Earth	1994		The master computer of the planet Harmony was full of hope at last. The chosen human beings had been drawn together and removed from the city of Basilica. Now they were embarked on the first of two journeys, this one taking them through the desert and the Valley of Fires, to the southern tip of the island once called Vusadka, to a place where no human being had set foot for forty million years. The second journey would be across a thousand lightyears to the home planet of the human species, Earth, abandoned forty million years ago and ready now for human beings to return...\n\nThese particular human beings had been chosen through a million generations of guided evolution, and had the strongest possible ability to communicate with the master computer, the Oversoul. However, this did not always result in the most intelligent, or obedient of humans. The sixteen people chosen by the Oversoul included some who had killed - and some who would kill again - some who were committed to the Oversoul's cause and some who were equally committed to thwarting it. Cut off from the larger world, would they be able to curb the darker impulses which were no longer inhibited by a strong society? The Oversoul could only believe so, because these humans were to recolonize Earth.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-20 00:00:00	1	2	1	12	7

Caelum strongly opposes any resurrection of the troublesome Achar throne and is preparing to fight it, when a brutal murder occurs, unleashing mayhem among his family.\n\nChief suspect is Drago SunSoar. Divested of his Icarii powers as a babe, Drago has harboured a life-long resentment of Caelum and yearns to disposess his brother of his birthright.\n\nCaelum's troubles seem overwhelming. Then they are completely eclipsed by news of abominable forces from beyond the Star Gate which threaten to wreak destruction on a divided Tencendor.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	1	1	3	25

512	Heretics of Dune	1984		In this brilliant addition to the world-famous Dune saga the wheel of history has turned full circle: the deserts have returned to Dune, and with them the giant sandworms.  God-Emperor of Dune told how the Tyrant Leto II - son of Muad'Dib, transformed into a monstrous hybrid of human and sandworm - achieved his simultaneous apotheosis and downfall. His death triggered the release of a swarm of sand-trout, the earliest stage in the sandworm-cycle. Over the millennia which have passed since, they and their descendants have reversed the ecological miracle that change Rakis (as Dune is now known) from a burning desert to a verdant and pleasant world.\n\nAmid the confusion and violence which followed Leto's fall, there was a great exodus of humankind, exploring the galaxy in search of new habitable worlds. Now people from this Scattering are returning, and they include a mysterious and threatening new group: women who call themselves the Honoured Matres, whose control and manipulation of sexual ecstasy makes them immensely dangerous opponents. They introduce an unpredictable new element into the precariously balanced equation of power involving the women of the Bene Gesserit with their long-term genetic schemes, the Tleilaxu masters of disguise and deception, the CHOAM Spacing Guild and other factions.\n\nMeanwhile, on Rakis, an old prophecy has been fulfilled. A girl, Sheeana, has appeared who has the power to summon, and control, and ride Shai-hulud, the great sandworm, which is now the centre of a new religious movement.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	3	1	1	29
513	Chapter House Dune	1985		After the events described in Heretics of Dune, the oldest-established galactic order is in disarray. The ruthless Honoured Matres are conquering all; the planet Dune has been destroyed; only pockets of resistance remain, with the opposition coming mainly from the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, co-ordinated from their still undiscovered home world, Chapter House.\n\nNow, on Chapter House, a new Scattering is being planned with Bene Gesserit women fleeing to all parts of the galaxy to guard against possible extinction at the hands of the Honoured Matres. And they still hold one asset which has not fallen into enemy hands: they have sandworms, the offspring of one giant worm that was rescued from Dune before its destruction. A desert was prepared for it on Chapter House, and its myriad tiny descendants are hard at work implementing the early stages of the cycle which will eventually turn the planet into another barren wasteland.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	3	1	1	29

Proud of his cruelty and ruthlessness, iron-fisted Baron Vladimir Harkonnen dreams of ever-larger harvests of the precious substance called "spice", the chemical that prolongs life and increases mental powers; the drug that mutated Spacing Guild Navigators use to control starships with their minds.\n\nBut the seeds of change have been sown. On Dune itself, an idealistic young planetologist goes out into the desert to live among the Fremen, desert nomads who hold the key to the secrets of spice and the giant sandworms who guard it. And on the water and island world of Caladan the Duke's heir, young Leto Atreides, prepares to take up his birthright...	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	28

678	The Redemption of Althalus	2000		Here in a single volume is a completely new and self-contained epic from the modern masters of fantasy. The Redemption of Althalus is set on the grandest scale in an entirely new, magical world.\n\nAlthalus - burglar, armed robber and occasional murderer - is commissioned to steal a book by a mysterious cloaked stranger named Ghend. Althalus sets off to the House at the End of the World where the book is kept - after stealing Ghend's cloak; after all, winter is coming on.\n\nAt the House at the End of the World, in the same room as the book Ghend described, he finds a talking cat. What he can't find once he's in the house is the door by which he entered.\n\nAnd Deiwos marked that awful edge with fire to warn all men back form Daeva's abyss, and then he rested there in his keep and communed with his Book while time continued her stately march.\n\nBy the time he manages to escape - with the cat, Emerald, in the hood of his (Ghend's) cloak Althalus can read. He's read the Book of Deiwos, and discovered a tool mightier than the blunt instrument he once used to disable his victims. But there is another Book, written by the god Daeva who is the evil brother of Deiwos, and who is trying to unmake the world.\n\nAnd Ghend lifted his face and looked upon Althalus with his burning eyes. And the eyes of Ghend seared at the soul of Althalus. And Ghend spoke then, saying, 'It is of little moment, my thief. Run, Althalus, run, and I shall pursue you down the nights and down the years, and the Book shall avail you not, for I shall deliver you up to the throne of Daeva'\n\nEmerald is in fact the sister of the two conflicting gods, and her intention is to use Althalus to stop Daeva returning all of them to primordial chaos. Althalus will teach her what she needs to know, which is how to lie, cheat and steal - 'Whatever works,' Emerald reflects - and in return she, more amazingly, will teach Althalus truth, justice and morality.\n\n'The forest was dark and tangled, and the sky was steely grey. Althalus had lost his way, though he could not remember exactly where he'd been going before... the hollow sound of wailing blotted out his thought... 'she comes,' the trees sang. 'She comes,' the vines replied. 'Fall down before her in abject surrender!'\n\nThe existence of the world hangs in the balance in this fabulous and extraordinary story of The Redemption of Althalus... the rogue destined to steal the hearts and minds of readers.	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2003-01-12 00:00:00	1	3	1	1	25

Now Imrhien begins a journey to distant Caermelor, to seek a wise woman whose skills may change the foundling's life.\n\nAlong the way, Imrhien must survive a wilderness of endless danger. And as the challenges grow more deadly, Imrhien discovers something more terrifying than all the evil eldritch wights combined: the shunned outsider with an angel's soul and a gargoyle's face is falling in love...	2003-01-12 00:00:00	2009-12-07 00:00:00	1	2	3	5	16

1053	Magnificat	1996		Dealing mainly with the Metapsychic rebellion of 2083, Magnificat focuses mainly on Marc, a powerful metapsychic and member of the mighty Remillard family. He believes that the only logical way to speed the evolution of the Galactic mind is through artificial enhancement of the human brain. Thus he plans to remove and artificially nurture the brains of newborn test-tube babies, subjecting them to intense metapsychic training.\n\nBut not all the Remillard family agree with Marc's megalomania. His brother Jack the Bodiless - a mind born into a body that eventually destroyed itself - has had to endure a similar fate as a matter of survival, evolving into a powerful, poignant figure utterly alone in his uniqueness. He is opposed to Marc's plans and his sentiments are shaped by some of the other members of the Remillard family. And so, Jack must decide how best to hinder his brother;s scheme without compromising human metapsychics in the larger community of th Milieu.\n\nAs the final volume in the epic Galactic Milieu trilogy (Jack the Bodiless, Diamond Mask), Magnificat is a powerful and compelling conclusion to Julian May;s highly successful series detailing the human struggle in a new galactic civilisation.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-04-29 00:00:00	1	3	1	2	2

1072	Pegasus in Flight	1991		Earth was at bursting point - desperately overcrowded in spite of the birth restrictions of only one child to each couple. Extra children existed in a sub-cultured world or were rounded up into slavery.\n\nThe only hope was the space platform - the jumping off point for the colonisation of other worlds. And to build the space platform more 'Talents' were needed - the gifted special ones whose mental powers could perform prodigious tasks across space and time.\n\nRhyssa Owen, Director for Parapsychic Talents, was the one responsible, both for finding 'Talents' and training them. And when she felt the first tentative, sad, encroachment of a mind reaching out for her, she knew it was exceptional - a fourteen-year-old boy, his body crushed beyond repair , with the most powerful kinetic ability she had ever encountered. And, at the same time, in the seamy underworld of forgotten, unwanted, near-criminal children, was another brilliant mind. Young, streetwise, but so talented she was in danger from ruthless groups of kidnappers.\n\nRhyssa knew she had to find the two children - find them and train them for the survival of the Earth.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-04-29 00:00:00	1	1	1	1	20

1135	Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos	1991		The Story of the Scientific Quest for the Secret of the Universe.\n\nTheir job description is to determine the fate of the universe. Their careers are inspiring, frustrating, controversial, extraordinary... Their story is fascinating.\n\n(Inside Cover)\nEver since the first rocket entered space, science and technology have been the obsessions of the twentieth century. With their aid it seems possible that man can discover his own origins and learn the history of the cosmos.\n\nThis is the story of the cosmologists whose job is to determine the fate of the universe. Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time, is but one member of this band, who, armed with computer chips, radio telescopes, underground particle accelerators, pride and imagination, must discover through science the secrets of the universe.\n\nAs well as the creation myths, there are radically opposed scientific theories of the world's origin. Some hold the 'big bang' theory, by which the world was born in a fiery cataclysm and might disappear again equally dramatically. Others believe that the universe is infinite and always the same... This is not a book of theory but a lively and readable tribute to the people who, with the help f science, might eventually reach the truth. It is a story of failure, controversy and strife - but also of personality, hope and inspiration.	2003-05-24 00:00:00	2003-05-24 00:00:00	1	3	1	4	33

The First Hundred have scattered or died, the rebels are underground, planning their utopia, waiting. The transnational corporations aided by the UN are rebuilding the ruined cities and mining valuable resources. They too have a dream. Mars can be plundered, cultivated and terraformed to suit Man's needs - frozen lakes are forming, lichen is growing, the atmosphere is slowly being bought and sold by the transnationals. Why not here too? Man's dream is underway, but so is his greatest test. Societies are crumbling and re-forming, adapting and reacting to new conditions. The survivors of the First Hundred know that technology alone is not enough.

1154	Starborne	1996		The mission of the starship Wotan is to find in the depths of space a planet where humanity can being again. Earth has become one of vast pleasant suburb of well-to-do elderly childless folks, the last members of a decadent and fast diminishing species. The Wotan represents their one hope that the human race can reinvent itself by taking on the challenge of a virgin world, a new Eden. If such a planet can be found in a lifetime of searching. The only certainty known to the Wotan's crew of fifty men and women is that they are bound on a voyage from which they will not return.\n\nthe Wotan contains in its vast cargo hold an entire world-building storehouse: wildlife domestication plaques, matrix jacks, hydrocarbon converters, climate nodes, artificial intelligences, molecular replicators, heavy-machinery templates and all the mediq machines, gene replacement kits, data bubbles a civilization might need.

As humanity's emissaries to the universe in general, they face a completely unknown challenge, and must render it knowable.\n\nThis dramatic and vivid story of the furthest frontier is Robert Silverberg at his best.	2003-05-30 00:00:00	2003-06-03 00:00:00	1	3	1	6	25

Now time has run out.\n\nWith Earth a lost cause, the satellite worlds twinkling in orbit are prime territory for takeover by the powerful and rich. They are a single battleground on which the richest and most powerful megacorps, Kyocera-Merck and Samurai Industries, fight, no holds barred.\n\nIn the artificial purity of satellite air or beneath the bilious skies of Earth, despite newly evolved bacterial plagues and bribe-taking androids, Robert Silverberg's characters pursue destinies both outrageously self-interested and heartwrenchingly familiar in a savagely funny story of our planet's last gasp.	2003-05-30 00:00:00	2004-05-28 00:00:00	1	1	1	4	14

1216	Asimov: The Unauthorized Life	1994		Isaac Asimov dominated science fiction for over half a century. By his late teens, he had already embarked upon the works with which everyone associates him: the first Robot story, during which he laid down the Three Laws of Robotics accepted today by researchers into Artificial Intelligence; Nightfall, arguably his most famous-ever story; and the first installment of the Foundation series, where he established the template for huge galactic empires, and changed the face of science fiction forever.\n\nAsimov: The Unauthorized Life takes us from Asimov;s early childhood when, working in his father's candy store, he came across the SF pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s, to his domination of both popular science writing and the SF world. Moving from his obsessive drive to write and his many prolific works, through the impact on and upheavals in his personal life, via the army (including how Asimov managed to narrowly miss the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll), to his divorce and subsequent re-marriage, Michael White chronicles the successes and the extraordinary life of one of the most popular writers of all time.	2003-06-17 00:00:00	2004-03-17 00:00:00	1	3	3	7	34

The pass of the Red Star had brought a new terrible reign of Threadfall, and in the Southern Hold, Toric was carving out an enormous empire for himself from lands as yet uncharted. And as the times of trouble grew, so did the ravages of Thella and her band, turning from theft to murder to vicious and insane revenge. Jayge Lilcamp, the young trader, was one of the first of the renegades, and as he saw what Thella had done to his family and his wagon train he began to seek his own revenge, a revenge which grew into a determination to destroy the most evil woman on Pern.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2004-09-06 00:00:00	1	1	1	5	20

It was the shipfish who saved them, swooping up from the deep, holding them firm above the water, guiding them back to land, and above all speaking to them.\n\nAlemi, called to the all-encompassing power of AIVAS, learned that the shipfish were dolphins - brought to Pern with the early colonists to help and guide man through the oceans of the new planet. Now all the old Dolphin lore had to be rediscovered.\n\nReadis fascinated by the many gifts of the dolphins - gifts unshared by any other creature on Pern - longed to work with them. Helped by T'lion, the young dragonrider with his bronze Gadareth (who established his own particular friendship with the dolphins), Readis, fighting against vehement parental opposition, set out to become Pern's first Dolphineer.	2003-04-29 00:00:00	2003-04-29 00:00:00	1	1	1	2	20

1373	This Accursed Land	1991		Sir Douglas Mawson's epic and tragic journey across one thousand kilometers of unknown Antarctic wasteland has been described by Sir Edmund Hillary as the "The greatest story of the lone survival in Polar exploration".\n\nThis Accursed Land tells that story; How Mawson declined to join Captain Scott's ill-fated British Expedition in order to lead the Australasian expedition and the three-man team - Mawson, Ninnis and Mertz - who set out with husky teams to explore the far eastern coastline of the Antarctic continent.\n\nThe loss of the young officer Ninnis and most of the supplies turned a hazardous trek into a nightmare. Mawson and Mertz were trapped 500 kilometers from base with a bare nine days' food and nothing for the dogs. On the journey back they lived by slaughtering there starving animals and eating what is now known to be poisoned meat.  Mawson's ultimate and lone struggle for survival - starving, poisoned, exhausted and indescribably cold - is a powerful story of human strength, grippingly told by Leonard Bickel.	2004-10-03 00:00:00	2004-10-03 00:00:00	1	2	1	1	33

1484	Against All Things Ending	2010		Thomas Covenant is alive again, restored to his mortal body by the unimaginable combined force of his own white gold ring, Linden Avery's Staff of Law, and the ancient dagger called High Lord Loric's krill. His resurrection is Linden's defiant act of love, despite warnings from mortals and immortals that unleashing this much power would destroy the world. She brought his spirit back from its prison in the Arch of Time, and revived his slain body, so precious to her, his wild white hair like a flame, his face now etched with lines of pain.  Thomas Covenant is returned to her. \n\nBut the truth is inescapable: The thunderclap of power has awakened the Worm of the World's End, and all of them, and the Land itself, are forfeit to its devouring. If they have any chance to save the Land, it will come from unlikely sources - including the mysterious boy Jeremiah, Linden's adopted son, whose secrets are only beginning to come to light. And it will come from sacrifices, some freely offered by friends who have traveled far and trusted much, and some taken by force that can be recognized only later as compassion.	2011-03-08 00:00:00	2018-09-08 00:00:00	1	2	1	12	3

1504	Murder In Mississippi	2013		When filming his TV series Race Relations, John Safran spent an uneasy couple of days with one of Mississippis most notorious white supremacists. A year later, he heard that the man had been murdered – and what was more, the killer was black.\n\nAt first the murder seemed a twist on the old Deep South race crimes. But then more news rolled in. Maybe it was a dispute over money, or most intriguingly, over sex. Could the infamous racist actually have been secretly gay, with a thing for black men? Did Safran have the last footage of him alive? Could this be the story of a lifetime? Seizing his Truman Capote moment, he jumped on a plane to cover the trial.\n\nOver six months, Safran got deeper and deeper into the South, becoming entwined in the lives of those connected with the murder – white separatists, black campaigners, lawyers, investigators, neighbours, even the killer himself. And the more he talked with them, the less simple the crime, and the world, seemed.	2014-01-11 00:00:00	2014-01-11 00:00:00	1	2	1	12	24
1510	Midkemia: Chronicles of Pug	2013		After inheriting the mantle as leader of Sorcerer's Isle, Magnus, Pug's son, unearthed his father's journal. Rather than consigning it to the library shelf, Magnus reorganized its contents and inserted some of his own observations and clarifications of his father's life. Here for the first time, father and son are united in a single story that charts the evolution of Midkemia itself. Complete with hand-drawn maps, which Pug collected throughout his life, that detail changes in Midkemia's geography as war ravages the land and physically alters the landscape, the book is part journal and part atlas. With thirty pieces of specially commissioned artwork that bring key moments in the Chaoswar Saga to vivid life, it delivers an in-depth look into the world of Midkemia as never seen before.	2014-02-02 00:00:00	2014-02-02 00:00:00	1	3	1	12	0
1511	Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone	1998		What did Harry Potter know about magic? He was stuck living with the decidedly un-magical Dursleys, who hated him.

And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts ... he's at Hogwarts".\n\nHarry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends.

1519	gold	1995		Gold is Isaac Asimov's first original collection of science fiction in over a decade. It is also his last science fiction collection, one containing all of his uncollected SF stories that have never before appeared in book form.\nGold is the final and crowning achievement of the fifty-five year career of science fiction's transcendent genius, the world-famous author who defined the field of SF for its practitioners, for its millions of readers, and for the world at large. The stories collected here for the first time range from the humorous to the profound, for Asimov was engaged until the end of his days in the work of redefining and expanding the boundaries of the literature he loved, and indeed, helped create. And there is more. For at the heart of this extraordinary compendium is the title story, "Gold," a moving and revealing drama about a writer who gambles everything on a chance at immortality-a gamble Asimov himself made. And won.	2018-09-08 00:00:00	2018-09-08 00:00:00	1	1	1	12	25
