News from Murder One
[snip]
Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror (Rhonda):
Charles de Lint, The Road to Lisdoonvarana. This book is actually a
crime novel, but as it is written by Mr. de Lint we felt we would have
to include it in the Sci-fi part of the news letter. Jevon 'Jake' Swann
is a tough guy Private Investigator in Ottawa who gets involved in
avenging the gang-rape of a street musician, as well as in tracking down
a teen runaway who has been lured into the porn industry. Signed Limited
Edition, US Hardcover, #35.00.
George Foy, Last Harbour. Slocum had it all: the perfect family, the
perfect home, and the perfect job with X-corp Media-a major producer of
interactive virtual reality entertainment. But when His career and his
marriage both self destruct his world shrinks to a tiny sloop berthed in
the dingy harbour of a dying New England seafaring town. Then an
enormous ocean liner docks beside him in the harbour carrying only a
single enigmatic passenger, a woman who restlessly walks the decks as if
unable to leave the ship. Only by learning her terrifying secret can he
free her from captivity, and realize his own dreams. US Trade Paperback,
#11.99.
Paul Cornell, Something More. In the far future Britain is a divided
land, ruled by the great families. In the wilderness between the cities
lies Heartsease, a grand country estate, now quite empty, but
mysteriously well tended. Reverend Jane Bruce of the Reformed Church of
England is sent to bless the home for the Campbells, one of the great
families, who wish to occupy it. But there is something her soldier
bodyguard isn't telling her about the house's past. UK Trade Paperback,
#10.99.
John Crowley, Daemonomania. For the people in this novel, the concerns
of everyday life are beginning to transmute into the extraordinary and
to reveal the forces, dark and light, that truly govern their lives. So
it is for Pierce Moffet, would-be historian and author, who has moved
from New York to the far away hills, where he seems to discover- or
rediscover- a path into magic, past and present. US Trade Paperback, #11.99.
Eric Flint, Fortune's Stroke. Link, a supercomputer from the future, has
used terror and gunpowder to forge the Malwa Empire in the 6th Century,
but Aide, a human soul embedded in a jewel, has come back to halt the
process. US Paperback, #6.99.
Jack L. Chalker, Balshazzar's Serpent. The interstellar wormholes had
failed and the Great Silence fell across a third of interstellar
civilization. As had happened before during the Middle ages, faith kept
hope alive. US Paperback, #6.99.
