Quipu

Damien Broderick

Synopsis

Caroline is about to go psychotic—and given her family, it’s no surprise. Joseph cannot talk to women even if he is a certified high-IQ clever dick trying to take snapshots of the end of the universe. Ray and Marj have their own hassles with in‑laws, but student terrorists get in the way. Meanwhile, Brian, misogynist and wit, appalls everyone in the quipu world. Quipus? They are the scandalous fanzines that hikes traded before blogs were invented. Hikes? High-IQ clever dicks, of course. In Quipu, Australian writer Damien Broderick reimagines his prize‑winning 1984 novel Transmitters as the surprising saga of a “family” of genius‑level, one‑of‑a‑kind individuals.

Baudwin is a water Faery who is two hundred years old – still quite young mind you. For his entire life he has wondered where his mother vanished, after a time of great travail and upheaval in his realm. This burden has been quite heavy, as without her, he was never joined to his current so he could live as he should – at one with the Water. Ever ready to lift his grandson’s spirits, his grandfather, Seamus, encourages him to find the Water – or to have the Water come to him – a ridiculous prospect for a water Faery not joined to his current. After decades of trials, the Water finally does come to Baudwin – defying all expectations.

Tempest's Fury

Nicole Peeler

Jane's not happy. She's been packed off to England to fight in a war when she'd much rather be snogging Anyan. Unfortunately, Jane's enemies have been busy stirring up some major trouble—the kind that attracts a lot of attention. In other words, they're not making it easy for Jane to get any alone time with the barghest, or to indulge in her penchant for stinky cheese. 
 
Praying she can pull off a Joan of Arc without the whole martyrdom thing, Jane must lead Alfar and halflings alike in a desperate battle to combat an ancient evil. Catapulted into the role of Most Unlikely Hero Ever, Jane also has to fight her own insecurities as well as the doubts of those who don't think she can live up to her new role as Champion. 
 
Along the way, Jane learns that some heroes are born. Some are made. And some are bribed with promises of food and sex.
