Dorothy spent most of her life doing the right thing. Now, widowed and with a cancer diagnosis, she’s ready to cut loose in the world of PIVOT. After learning magic and defending a caravan from a set of elves with a seriously overblown sense of superiority, Dotty had only one request: In her next game, she wanted to be uglier. So, she’s an orc now, tusks and all. And when she finds out that a group of dragons have been posing as gods to prey on orc villages, she is not going to stand for that...even if it means giving a legendary orc shaman the dressing down of his life. Hey, you don’t raise four children, seven grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren without getting really good at reading the riot act.Mostra libro
The first female monarch takes power of an extraplanetary empire in this “fast-paced fantasy epic” by the acclaimed author of the Apex Trilogy (Richark A. Knaak, New York Times–Bestselling Author of the World of Warcraft series). Station Aleon, a planetoid of System Helios, has withstood calamitous struggles thanks to the strong rule of its first two Masters of Station, Alexis Teirmont and his son, Alexis the Second. As it comes time for Alexis the Third to reign, the nobility wonders if they are ready for the first Mistress of Station Aelon. The first female monarch in the history of System Helios, Alexis the Third is a true Teirmont in temperament and passion. Yet she is unique in ways no one expected. Despite the disdain, aggression, contempt, and disgust of the male nobility for a female ruler, Alexis the Third proves that gender was not what made a monarch. Her rule is about to change System Helios forever.Mostra libro
This genre-bending national bestseller is “a horror-dystopic-philosophical mash-up, drawing comparisons to Borges, The Matrix and Jaws” (The New York Times Magazine). Eric Sanderson wakes up in a house he doesn’t recognize, unable to remember anything of his life. A note instructs him to call a Dr. Randle, who informs him that he is undergoing yet another episode of memory loss, and that for the last two years—since the tragic death of his great love, Clio, while vacationing in Greece—he’s been suffering from an acute dissociative disorder. But there may be more to the story, or it may be a different story altogether. With the help of allies found on the fringes of society, Eric embarks on an edge-of-your-seat journey to uncover the truth about himself and escape the predatory forces that threaten to consume him. Moving with the pace and momentum of a superb thriller, exploring ideas about language and information, as well as identity, this is ultimately a novel about the magnitude of love and the devastating effect of losing that love. “Paced like a thriller, it reads like a deluge . . . Herman Melville meets Michael Crichton, or Thomas Pynchon meets Douglas Adams.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Rousingly inventive.” —The Washington Post “Unforgettable fiction.” —Playboy “A thriller that will haunt you.” —GQ “Sharp and clear . . . Writing on the edge of the form.” —Los Angeles Times “Huge fun, and I gleefully recommend it.” —Audrey Niffenegger, international–bestselling author of The Time Traveler’s Wife “Fast, sexy, intriguing, intelligent.” —Toby LittMostra libro
