(11/27/07) During the First Age of Darkover, when the families of the Comyn ruled the Seven Domains and the planet of the Red Sun was rediscovered by the Terran Empire, a man from distant Earth and three Comyn would change Darkovan society forever. ... Cottman IV, the inhospitable planet called Darkover, had not been spaceman Andrew Carr's final destination until he saw his future in a crystal ball. The girl who appeared was frightened and in pain, and rescuing her became his obsession. But when his mapping plane crashed in the stormy mountains, it was the girl who saved him. Imprisoned by a malevolent race of cat-men, telepath Callista Lanart-Alton had sought to reach her kinsmen with her Keeper-trained powers. But neither her twin sister, Ellemir, nor her cousin, Damon, could find her until she led Andrew to them. Linked together through the energy-nets of the matrix, they defeated the cat-warriors to rescue Callista from the dark, and through their connection, she and Andrew came to know and...See less

See more

(11/27/07) A thousand years after a lost ship from Terra settled the planet of the red sun, Darkovan society has reverted to the feudal level. Their Terran technology renounced or forgotten, the people have turned instead to the curious technology of the matrix stones, laran, or psi, powers and terrible laran weapons. During the lawless Ages of Chaos, the populace lives under the domination of the Towers, when the Comyn families of the seven Domains ruthlessly inbreed their laran-gifted offspring to gain powerful and fearsome talents…. Stormqueen! A child is born to the Lord of Aldaran, a child who possesses a terrifying and uncontrolled talent. For Dorilys, heir to her father’s domain, can unwittingly call forth lightning and bring devastating storms to the land. Fearful for his daughter’s life and the safety of his lands, Lord Aldaran sends to a Tower for help. But even the powers of a trained monitor and a Hastur lord with frightening abilities of his own might not be enough to save this...See less

(11/27/07) Over centuries, the people of Darkover—descendants of a Terran colony ship—had forgotten or renounced their science, turning instead to the curious technology of the matrix stones and laran, or psi, powers. Now Terra has rediscovered the fourth planet of the Cottman star system, and the fact that their world is a lost colony of the Empire does not sit easily with the Darkovans. But an exchange of technologies will be necessary if either society is to survive…. Star of Danger: A new resident from Terra, young Larry Montray can’t wait to explore Darkover. Escaping the confines of the Terran Zone, he smacks right into something he doesn’t expect: prejudice. For a mutual distrust exists between the fiercely proud Darkovans and the spacers who feel they should give up their backward ways and rejoin the Empire. Despite this, Larry becomes friends with Darkovan Kennard Alton. But when they’re forced to combine matrix magic with Terran technology to fight a mutual enemy, will their alliance...See less

See more

(11/27/07) Raised in the Borderlands of Valdemar, 13-year-old Talia knew little about the world beyond her father’s farm. But in stolen moments, lost in the spell of forbidden books, she dreamed…of the valiant, white-clad Heralds and their equine Companions who served the Queen and the Kingdom. Then came the day that her family announced it was time for Talia to either marry or enter the service of the Goddess. Both futures filled the girl with dread, but her wishes meant nothing to the elders. Desperate to get away, Talia fled to a cave that had been her secret refuge in the past. Wrapped in misery, fearful of discovery, she’d almost resigned herself to whatever fate her father decreed when she heard the sound of hooves and gentle bridle bells outside. Talia knew that only a Herald’s Companion wore such tack. Still she was unprepared for the sheer magnificence of the creature, or for the words that radiated from the Companion. I Choose you. Out of all the world, out of all the seeking, I have...See less

See more

(11/27/07) Believe what you may, but sword and sorcery did not begin with a barbarian named Conan. Years before the Cimmerian reached the pages of pulp magazines, Robert E. Howard brought forth his prototypical hero-king creation—Kull, the Tiger of Atlantis. Out of the west he came, striding boldly across Atlantis's Pre-Cataclysmic stage, brandishing both broadsword and battle-axe. Like the mighty Conan, he is a pirate, an outlaw, a gladiator, a king. But unlike Conan, the cold-eyed, hot-headed Kull rules the Lands of Enchantment with a continuous cast of comrades—Ka-nu the Pict, Gor-na the chief councilor, Brule the Spear-slayer. With their aid, he battles a secret dominion of serpent-men (“The Shadowy Kingdom”), confronts the deadly truths of “The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune,” foils a wizard in the guise of a talking cat (“The Cat and the Skull”), dares to look upon “The Screaming Skull of Silence,” breaks the ancient chains of the laws of Valusia (“By This Axe I Rule!”) and is pulled forward in...See less

See more

(11/27/07) He has been a vagrant, a pirate, a mercenary, a thief—and, ultimately, a king. But above all, Conan of Cimmeria, sword and sorcery’s greatest hero, is an adventurer. As fierce and stealthy as a panther, as bold and powerful as a god, he is truly content only when he is wandering free, with a horse between his knees and a sword to plunge into the hearts of his enemies. The Conquering Sword of Conan completes the hit trilogy of original tales and miscellanea about Robert E. Howard’s legendary warrior, presented as the author intended them to be—free of revision and interpolations by others, and organized by date of publication, not by Conan’s personal timeline. The stories herein are the last Conan adventures Howard ever wrote, but they are among his best, showing the writer at the top of his form. In the first tale, Conan follows the lure of treasure to a horror-laden temple where he must face dangerous rivals and the inhuman savagery of “The Servants of Bit-Yakin”…Venturing into the...See less

See more

(11/27/07) Long before Conan was popularized in comic books and film, Robert Ervin Howard’s creation, Conan the Cimmerian, clashed with his enemies in the pages of popular fantasy magazines of the ‘30s. None of the modern versions compare to Howard’s dark, unpredictable character, who never fails the reader looking for action, excitement and surprise. This one-of-a-kind collection, composed of 13 tales (plus one poem), includes such thrilling stories as: • The Tower of the Elephant Conan breaks into a supposedly impenetrable tower housing a great jewel, where he meets a rival thief—and gets the surprise of his life! • Queen of the Black Coast Conan falls in with a band of pirates—and falls in love with Bêlit, the beautiful pirate queen. • Black Colossus Young princess Yasmela is being stalked by the wizard Natokh, who will stop at nothing to attain the object of his desire. The gods tell Yasmela to turn to Conan for aid, who answers her call in a final, spellbinding battle. Robert Ervin Howard...See less

See more

(11/27/07) With a host of literary honors and awards to her credit, Grand Master Ursula K. Le Guin has long been a mainstay of science fiction and fantasy. But of all her nineteen novels and one hundred plus short stories, she is perhaps best known for the critically-acclaimed Earthsea cycle. A gorgeously written, deeply perceptive tale, this high-fantasy classic deserves a space on your shelf alongside the heroic epics of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. A Wizard of Earthsea: The windswept isles of Earthsea were famous for wizards, and the greatest of all was Ged, called Sparrowhawk in his reckless youth. Hungry for power and knowledge, Sparrowhawk tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon and crossed death’s threshold to restore the balance. The Tombs of Atuan: Chosen to serve the Ancient and Nameless Powers of the Earth, Tenar is taken away from her home and...See less

(11/27/07) It has been four decades since the land of Krynn was shattered and broken by the Chaos War--four decades of misery and confusion, oppression and death. Goldmoon has tapped the powers of the heart to fill the void left when the gods abandoned the land. Even so, dark forces have come to rule. Under the weight of cruel Malys, the dragon queen, and her cousins Beryllinthranox the Green and Khellendros the Blue, the land cries out for justice--and for peace. Now a storm is brewing...a tempest unlike any seen before, which will scour the land and prepare it for the battles yet to come. New heroes will soon arise, like the elf Silvanoshei, and Mina, who walks untouched amid the lightening, bringing new faith to a world that has all but abandoned hope. (564 pp.) ¿See less

(11/27/07) The War of Souls rages on? As the War of Souls continues, the shield over the elven kingdom of Silvanesti has fallen, threatening the very existence of the inhabiting elves. Enter a mystical young knight named Mina, who leads her forces triumphantly into the elven land in the name of the One God.

Meanwhile, the great dragon Overlord Beryl attacks the Citadel of Light, destroying the very land the elves hold most dear. Even Goldmoon leaves her people, compelled to follow the growing river of souls, which threatens to engulf them all. Amidst all this chaos, a band of brave and selfless heroes struggles against an immortal power that appears to thwart them at every turn...and the encroaching darkness that threatens to engulf all hope, all faith, all light.See less

(11/27/07) The invincible warrior Mina and her army of the dead, unsatisfied with their occupation of Silvanost, move on to Sanction in this outstanding conclusion to the War of Souls trilogy. As Qualinosti elves flee a dragon's wrath and seek refuge in Silvanosti, Solamnic Knight Gerard volunteers as a spy in the army of Dark Knights to help prevent Mina's onslaught.

Add to the mix Tasslehoff Burrfoot and his Device of Time Journeying and Mina has some major problems. The climactic battle at Sanction aimed at saving Krynn and reestablishing the world's finely tuned balance is an explosive and fitting ending to this classic trilogy. (548 pp.)See less

(11/27/07) The once-peaceful world of Krynn has been shattered by the advance of the draconian armies, and the long-cherished harmony between men, elves and dwarves has given way to suspicion and struggle. Their friendship helped win the first real battle, but even Tanis Half-Elven and his Companions have felt the sting of conflict among themselves. And the war is far from over…. In the ruins of Tarsis, they encounter new helpers: a Silvanesti princess, three Knights of Solamnia—and the key to winning the war. If they can claim one of the ancient Dragon Orbs, created by the great wizards and so powerful that only those strong in magic may command them, they will gain control over their reptilian enemies. But when the Dragon Highlord's armies attack the city, the squabbling Companions are separated. And a long, bitter winter will pass before they are reunited—a season of sorrow and sacrifice….

See more

(11/27/07) Ruled by the gods, the world of Krynn was once a place of peace and beauty. Then the gods turned away from the world, and in their absence came a great Cataclysm. Cities split asunder, mountains and seas changed places, and monsters roamed the countryside. Now, in the ensuing chaos, paranoia reigns. Religious fanatics impose their gods upon a sad and powerless people. Rumors of armies massing in the north fill terrified citizens with despair. And wanderers returning home hoping for solace find only fear and suspicion on the faces of old friends and neighbors. Some believe an even greater darkness is to come, heralded by the appearance of reptilian soldiers who search for a blue crystal staff. Only a ragtag band of companions can save Krynn from the dark forces bent on its destruction. For the dragon Queen of Darkness is returning to the earth, and to defeat her, they must find the Disks of Mishakal—the true power of the gods. Cover art by Steve Kurth and Blond.

(11/27/07) In one of historys great ironies, the U.S. is one of the most religious places on earthbut most Americans cant even name the first book of the Bible. What explains our shocking level of religious illiteracy? In this impassioned book, Stephen Prothero makes a bold case for enhancing religious understanding in the U.S.and gets us started with a primer on the worlds major faiths. Get religion Many blame the problem on secularists who banished religion from the public squarebut Prothero reveals that it was the nations most fervent people of faith who steered us down the road to religious illiteracy. And he argues that, in an age when politicians dangerously fuse policy with religious rhetoric, a solid grounding in the language of faith is more important than ever. Putting his money where his mouth is, Prothero walks us through the core tenets of the worlds major religions with a dictionary of their key beliefs, along with a wealth of stories of Christianity, Islam, and other...See less

(11/27/07) Dantes The Inferno reserved the Pit of Hell expressly for people like Judas Iscariot. But what do we really know about the hated betrayer of Jesus? In The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot, the author of Misquoting Jesus offers the first comprehensive account of the newly discovered Gospel of Judas in a gem of a book. Smart, lively, and eminently readable (Marvin Meyer, author of The Gospel of Thomas). Lost and found The Gospels story is truly remarkable. Sworn to secrecy, Ehrman traveled at the behest of National Geographic to a small Swiss town, where he first set eyes upon the ancient papyrus in a small room above a pizza parlor. Ehrman recounts the initial investigation and the documents discovery, and offers an account of the books contents that poses as many queries as it resolves. Why did certain gospels thrive while the Gospel of Judas was marginalized? Was Judas one of the twelve disciples? Did Judass betrayal allow Jesus to escape the trappings of his material body to...See less

If you're going to read history... | There are many different types of all encompassing history books out there and some are meant more for the general public than the more "scholarly" reader. Some have more detail that others and some focus on certain types of events than others. This is one of the better history books that I have come across and I've read plenty. I would like to say also that if you're going to leave reviews criticizing others that you at least proofread your entry (since you can't spell) and try to be a tad more creative in your comments and a little more understanding of other's opinions. | THE DESK ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WORLD HISTORY, Oct 19,2007 Reviewer: Daniel S.

See more

(11/27/07) From the splendor of the Pharaohs tombs to the secrets revealed by their mysterious texts, renowned Egyptologist Dr. Aidan Dodson takes readers on an unforgettable and thoroughly captivating journey. Among the countless iconic symbols associated with the grandeur and mystery of Egypt, few can match the twin subjects of Ancient Egypt: Pyramids and Hieroglyphs.

(11/27/07) Lost civilizations, unsolved mysteries, and gold-laden royal tombs: archaeology has always been the stuff of legend. An unprecedented look inside modern archaeology, Discovery! spotlights the most significant finds made over the past decade and a half. Penned by the discoverers themselves, this spectacular book spans two million years of history and covers everything from fossils of early humans to wrecks of early submarines. In addition, the book treats us to revelations about the Giza pyramids, Italys Ice Man, and spectacular Inca mummies. We enter a recently discovered royal Egyptian tomb, examine gold-filled burials of Assyrian queens, analyze Maya wall paintings, and more. International in scope and eminently authoritative, the book is illustrated throughout with 250 color photographs, many taken at the very moment of discovery. Discovery! brings the excitement of archaeology to life. HC. 256pp. 2007. 1bp.See less
