The Unwritten Vol. 6: Tommy Taylor and the War of Words
Tom Taylor''s life was screwed from day one. His father created the Tommy Taylor fantasy series, boy-wizard novels with popularity on par with Harry Potter. The problem is Dad modeled the fictional epic so closely to Tom''s real life that fans are constantly comparing him to his counterpart, turning him into the lamest variety of Z-level celebrity. In the final novel, it''s even implied that the fictional Tommy will crossover into the real world, giving delusional fans more excuses to harass Tom. When an enormous scandal reveals that Tom might really be a boy-wizard made flesh, Tom comes into contact with a very mysterious, very deadly group that''s secretly kept tabs on him all his life. Now, to protect his own life and discover the truth behind his origins, Tom will travel the world, eventually finding himself at locations all featured on a very special map - one kept by the deadly group that charts places throughout world history where fictions have impacted and tangibly shaped reality, those stories ranging from famous literary works to folktales to pop culture. And in the process of figuring out what it all means, Tom will find himself having to figure out a huge conspiracy mystery that spans the entirety of the history of fiction. In this volume, Tom Taylor goes to war against the cabal that has tormented, imprisoned and tried to destroy him. To have a hope of winning, Tom must use every weapon he can get hold of, but even storybook magic carries its own risks. Tom''s crusade plays out against the backdrop of the cabal''s sinister secret history and delves deep into the dark past of some of the series'' major players. When it''s all over, very little will remain "Unwritten." Collects THE UNWRITTEN #31-35 and #31.5-35.5.

Dead Men's Boots

release date: Jul 25, 2009
Dead Men's Boots
A freelance exorcist grapples with demons, lawyers, and a serial killer''s ghost in this supernatural thriller by the author of The Girl with All the Gifts. "Every bit as good as the better-known Jim Butcher, Carey hits his stride with his third hard-boiled supernatural thriller. . . . Carey has a way with words . . . as well as a gift for creating a plausible alternate reality." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) You might think that helping a friend''s widow to stop a lawyer from stealing her husband''s corpse would be the strangest thing on your To Do list. But life is rarely that simple for Felix Castor. A brutal murder in the heart of London bears all the hallmarks of a long-dead American serial killer, and it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He''s also fighting a legal battle over the body—if not the soul—of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can''t shake the feeling that his three problems might be related. With the help of the succubus Juliet and paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath, Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down an elevator shaft or rips his throat out. Or not . . . "Readers expect Fix''s adventures . . . to be peppered with bons mots, lots of creatures of the formerly alive kind and tsunamis of action, and this new outing won''t disappoint. . . . Readers seeking a leisurely summer read won''t find it in this irresistible tale, which will have them staying up much too late for the pleasure of "just one more chapter" before dousing the lights." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Fix, in the fourth gripping Felix Castor novel. Names and faces he thought he''d left behind in Liverpool resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than he''d anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and new, and a council estate that was meant to be a modern utopia until it turned into something like hell . . . these are just some of the sticks life uses to beat Felix Castor with as things go from bad to worse for London''s favourite freelance exorcist. See, Castor''s stepped over the line this time, and he knows he''ll have to pay; the only question is: how much? Not the best of times, then, for an unwelcome confrontation with his holier-than-thou brother, Matthew. And just when he thinks things can''t possibly get any worse, along comes Father Gwillam and the Anathemata. Oh joy . . .

Boston Celtics

release date: Jan 01, 2005
Boston Celtics
When the Boston Celtics were running-and-gunning their way to 16 world championships, New England fans displayed their approval of the team''s effort and heart by rooting especially hard for the bench players. It didn''t matter whether a particular favorite was the sixth man or the twelfth. As long as the chosen player possessed determination, guts, emotion and, above all hustle, the Celtics faithful would reward that player with cascades of applause and chants. Fringe players--don''t call them scrubs--became cult heroes. Yes, the Garden crowds were in absolute heaven when subs such as High Henry Finkel, Greg Kite, Eric Fernsten, Terry Duerod, Kevin Oscar Gamble, Wayne Kreklow, and Charles Bradley shed their warm-ups and scampered down to the scorer''s table to enter a game. Seldom did these players spend more than a couple of years in green-and-white uniforms before they were either waived or nabbed in an expansion draft. Still, to this day, their names and contributions have not been forgotten. Likewise, fans have not forgotten the dark days when Marvin Bad News Barnes, Sidney Wicks, Curtis Rowe, Bob McAdoo, Shammond Williams and Acie Earl aimlessly roamed on the parquet floor as the Celtics embarrassed themselves in defeat after defeat. Some players achieved star status in the face of long odds thanks to the results of one game in particular. What long-time Boston fan can ever forget Glenn McDonald''s crucial string of clutch jumpers in the third overtime of Boston''s 1976 playoff victory over the Phoenix Suns? Boston Celtics: Where Have You Gone? catches up with these long-remembered players and relives their impact (good or bad) on their Celtic teams. No longer will you have towonder, Whatever happened to...?
