Stolen Skies

Stolen Skies
ROGUE AGENTS SWEPT UP IN THE SEARCH FOR AN ANCIENT RELIC IN A UFO NOVEL AS ONLY TIM POWERS COULD WRITE IT! Sebastian Vickery has learned something about UFOs that he shouldn’t have—and Naval Intelligence, desperate to silence him, orders his old partner, Agent Ingrid Castine, to trap him. But Castine risks career, liberty, and maybe even life, to warn Vickery—and now they’re both fugitives, on the run from both the U.S. government and agents of the Russian GRU Directorate, which has its own uses for the UFO intelligence. With the unlikely aid of a renegade Russian agent, a homeless Hispanic boy, and an eccentric old Flat-Earther, Vickery and Castine must find an ancient relic that spells banishment to the alien species, and then summon the things and use it against them—in a Samson-like confrontation that looks likely to kill them as well. Sweeping from the Giant Rock monolith in the Mojave Desert to a cultist temple in the Hollywood Hills, from a monstrous apparition in the Los Angeles River to a harrowing midnight visitation on a boat off Long Beach Harbor, Stolen Skies is an alien-encounter novel like no other. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About Forced Perspectives: “One book I’ve been hugely excited about is Tim Powers’s latest, Forced Perspectives, set in the magical underbelly of modern-day Los Angeles.

Earthquake Weather
Supernatural Adventure from a Master of Modern Fantasy The magical King of the West has been killed in California, and his assassin is one of the multiple personalities in the head of Janis Cordelia Plumtree—but which one? One of them is a streetwise pickpocket. Another is dead, and can only speak in quotes from Shakespeare. And another seems to be the unquiet ghost of her father. And there are many others. Sid Cochran is a one-time winemaker who blames his wife''s suicide on the wine-god Dionysus, and believes that Dionysus is now pursuing him. Cochran and Plumtree escape together from a mental hospital in Los Angeles, and—pursued by ghosts, gangsters, and a crazy psychiatrist—set out for San Francisco and the wine country to try to restore the dead King of the West to life. But the god Dionysus himself is a player in this perilous game—and not on their side. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Les Voies d'Anubis

release date: Feb 14, 2018
Les Voies d'Anubis
1983. Lorsque le professeur Brendan Doyle accepte de donner une conférence sur le poète anglais Coleridge, il est loin d'imaginer qu'il ne va pas tarder à le rencontrer en personne... en 1810 ! Car après avoir accepté l'offre d'un millionnaire ayant percé les mystères du voyage dans le temps, le voilà plongé dans une aventure rocambolesque, traversant un Londres peuplé de bohémiens, de mendiants douteux et de sorciers terrifiants, tel ce clown macabre qui règne sur le monde souterrain. Et pour couronner le tout, Doyle ne peut revenir à son époque, à moins de déjouer les plans malfaisants des mages égyptiens qui veulent ramener leurs anciens dieux à la vie. Mais osera-t-il prendre le risque de changer le cours de l'Histoire ? Mêlant les thèmes du voyage temporel, du mythe du loup-garou et de la magie noire égyptienne dans le Londres victorien, ce roman, qui a remporté les prestigieux prix Apollo et Philip K. Dick, est le grand classique à l'origine du steampunk. « Une intrigue diaboliquement efficace, une ingéniosité grisante et un rythme d'enfer : ce roman est une performance de virtuose, un feu d'artifice aveuglant. » London Times

Down and Out in Purgatory
Twenty pulse-pounding, mind-bending tales of science fiction, twisted metaphysics, and supernatural wonder from the two-time World Fantasy and Philip K. Dick Award winning author of The Anubis Gatesand On Stranger Tides. A complete palette of story-telling colors from Powers, including acclaimed tale “The Bible Repairman,” where a psychic handyman who supernaturally eliminates troublesome passages of the Bible for paying clients finds the remains of his own broken soul on the line when tasked with rescuing the kidnapped ghost of a rich man’s daughter. Time travel takes a savage twist in “Salvage and Demolition,” where the chance discovery of a long-lost manuscript throws a down-and-out book collector back in time to 1950s San Francisco where he must prevent an ancient Sumeric inscription from dooming millions in the future. Humor and horror mix in “Sufficient unto the Day,” when a raucous Thanksgiving feast takes a dark turn as the invited ghosts of relatives past accidentally draw soul-stealing demons into the family television set. And obsession and vengeance survive on the other side of death in “Down and Out in Purgatory,” where the soul of a man lusting for revenge attempts to eternally eliminate the killer who murdered the love of his life. Wide-ranging, wonder-inducing, mind-bending—these and other tales make up the complete shorter works of a modern-day master of science fiction and fantasy. At the publisher''s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Medusa's Web

release date: Jan 19, 2016
Medusa's Web
From the award-winning author of Hide Me Among the Graves, Last Call, Declare, and Three Days to Never, a phantasmagoric, thrilling, mind-bending tale of speculative fiction in which one man must uncover occult secrets of 1920s Hollywood to save his family. In the wake of their Aunt Amity’s suicide, Scott and Madeline Madden are summoned to Caveat, the eerie, decaying mansion in the Hollywood hills in which they were raised. But their decadent and reclusive cousins, the malicious wheelchair-bound Claimayne and his sister, Ariel, do not welcome Scott and Madeline’s return to the childhood home they once shared. While Scott desperately wants to go back to their shabby South-of-Sunset lives, he cannot pry his sister away from this haunted “House of Usher in the Hollywood Hills” that is a conduit for the supernatural. Decorated by bits salvaged from old hotels and movie sets, Caveat hides a dark family secret that stretches back to the golden days of Rudolph Valentino and the silent film stars. A collection of hypnotic eight-limbed abstract images inked on paper allows the Maddens to briefly fragment and flatten time—to transport themselves into the past and future in visions that are both puzzling and terrifying. Though their cousins know little about these ancient “spiders” which provoke unpredictable temporal dislocations, Ariel and Claimayne have been using for years—an addiction that has brought Claimayne to the brink of selfish destruction. As Madeline falls more completely under Caveat’s spell, Scott discovers that to protect her, he must use the perilous spiders himself. But will he unravel the mystery of the Madden family’s past and finally free them. . . or be pulled deeper into their deadly web?

This report examines how conflicts of interest are managed in rural and regional settings and their impact on practitioners and clients.

Forcé de fuir pour éviter l'étreinte fatale d'une lamie, la muse légendaire qu'il a éveillée sans le savoir, Crawford s'engage dans un périple épique à travers l'Europe, où le surnaturel se mêle à la réalité, la passion à l'horreur. Il croise sur son chemin Byron et Shelley, poètes maudits eux aussi envoûtés par la tentatrice. Capable d'inspirer les plus beaux vers, celle-ci est aussi d'une jalousie mortelle, et n'hésitera pas à balayer tous les obstacles la séparant de l'homme qu'elle a choisi...

The Bible Repairman and Other Stories
2012 World Fantasy Award Winner In his first new collection since 2005, Tim Powers, the master of the secret history, delves into the mysteries of souls, whether they are sacrificed on the pinnacle of Mount Parnassus or lodged in a television cable box. With two new stories and short fiction only previously available in limited editions, the cornerstone of the collection is a postscript to his harrowing novel of the haunting of the Romantic poets, The Stress of Her Regard. After Byron and Shelley break free of the succubus that claimed them, their associate, Trelawny, forges an alliance with Greek rebels to reestablish the deadly connection between man and the nephilim.

In a tale of time travel between 2015 and 1975, a tragedy sparked by an angel falling onto a pizza shop is reenacted—and the event is barely, but fatally, altered.
