A TAPESTRY WOVEN IN TIME A young gentlewoman, Margaret de Beauchamp, finds her fate twisted into the lives of the up-timers when she meets the Americans imprisoned in the Tower of London. In exchange for her help, Rita Simpson and Harry Lefferts give her a huge sum of money to keep her family’s manor and its woolen trade from falling into the hands of the crown and its unscrupulous minister, Lord Cork. But Margaret’s troubles are not at an end. Her family’s fortunes are in a downward spiral. Her trip to Grantville brings unexpected dangers and a possible up-time solution. Praise for The Ring of Fire series: “This alternate history series is . . . a landmark . . .” —Booklist Get 1635: The Weaver's Code. |

WAGE A SECRET WAR OF LIBERATION
It seemed that the worst lay behind them. Hanuvar and his small band of allies had faced down warriors and horrors and sinister magics to free hundreds of their people from slavery. The emperor was dead, and his successor had so little interest in finding Hanuvar, he’d ordered his sorcerous Revenants to cease their search and turn their sinister talents to other targets. But as Hanuvar shifted his efforts south, where hundreds of his people still labored under the Dervan yoke, other forces were advancing agendas of their own. And upon the slopes of an ancient volcano, an ageless warrior mage worked to unleash a spell that would doom them all . . . Praise for Lord of a Shattered Land: “Howard Andrew Jones is the leading Sword & Sorcery author of the 21st Century . . . His Lord of a Shattered Land is his best work yet, a heroic fantasy retelling of one of the great tales of antiquity, the fall of Carthage and its legendary general Hannibal . . . It’s a magnificent achievement, destined to become a modern classic.” —John O’Neill, World Fantasy Award-winning publisher Get Shadow of the Smoking Mountain. |

THE SOLAR SYSTEM AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE! Captain Nathaniel Kade is a simple freelancer from the orbital ring of Neptune, struggling to make ends meet and to keep his understaffed spaceship from falling apart. All he wants is a decent, uneventful job to help put his finances back in order. What he receives instead is Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful cat girl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. Vessani’s in over her head and is clearly more trouble than she’s worth, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen. Praise for Freelancers of Neptune: “We deserve more books that combine gorgeous lines and concepts like ‘the echoing thoughts of absent gods’ with the shenanigans of the people those gods left behind. I'm happy to tell you Jacob Holo has delivered exactly that. Freelancers of Neptune puts together the formation of a ragtag crew, high-stakes adventure, laugh out loud moments, and a gut punch or two along the way. Expect to enjoy the wild ride and be intrigued by the depth of the universe hinted at along the way—I loved every moment with this story, and can't wait for more.” —Marisa Wolf, author of Beyond Enemies Get Freelancers of Neptune. |
