Fool's Assassin: Book I of the Fitz and the Fool Trilogy (Fitz and the Fool #1)
by Robin HobbNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNearly twenty years ago, Robin Hobb burst upon the fantasy scene with the first of her acclaimed Farseer novels, Assassin&’s Apprentice, which introduced the characters of FitzChivalry Farseer and his uncanny friend the Fool. A watershed moment in modern fantasy, this novel—and those that followed—broke exciting new ground in a beloved genre. Together with George R. R. Martin, Robin Hobb helped pave the way for such talented new voices as Scott Lynch, Brandon Sanderson, and Naomi Novik. Over the years, Hobb&’s imagination has soared throughout the mythic lands of the Six Duchies in such bestselling series as the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Rain Wilds Chronicles. But no matter how far she roamed, her heart always remained with Fitz. And now, at last, she has come home, with an astonishing new novel that opens a dark and gripping chapter in the Farseer saga. FitzChivalry—royal bastard and former king&’s assassin—has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire. Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz&’s past . . . and his future. Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one. . . .Praise for Fool&’s Assassin &“Hobb knows the complicated workings of the wayward human heart, and she takes time to depict them in her tale, to tell her story sweetly, insistently, compellingly. . . . A book meant to be inhabited rather than run through.&”—The Seattle Times &“[FitzChivalry Farseer is] one of the best characters in fantasy literature.&”—Fantasy Book Review &“[Hobb&’s] prose sparkles, her characters leap off the page.&”—Tordotcom &“Modern fantasy at its irresistible best.&”—The Guardian &“Fantastic . . . emotionally rich storytelling.&”—Library Journal (starred review)
Fool's Bargain: Star Wars Legends (Star Wars - Legends)
by Timothy ZahnTHE EMPIRE STRIKES A DEAL The history of the planet Kariek has been one of seemingly endless violence— thanks to the constantly erupting revolutions among the many divided tribes of the native Eickarie race battling for dominance. Yet none of these tribes has held sway since a mysterious Warlord and his legion of alien mercenaries seized power and began a fifty-year reign of terror. Now, at last, the tide may be turning: the leaders of the warring Eickarie factions have forged an alliance—strong enough to capture a city and corner the Warlord and his minions in their fortress. And the post-Palpatine Empire of the Hand is lending support to this revolt against tyranny by deploying no less a fighting force than the Imperial 501st Legion of stormtroopers. Once infamously known as &“Vader&’s Fist,&” the legendary 501st are the best men for the dangerous objective at hand—capturing the Warlord alive. It&’s a risky mission that might be jeopardized when Imperial unit commander Twister and his comrades, Shadow, Cloud, and Watchman, are waylaid by a band of zealous freedom fighters, armed with their own agenda . . . and plenty of firepower. The Eickarie renegades—determined to free hundreds of their people from the Warlord&’s dungeons—have an offer to make, and a strategy that could give the Imperials the edge in the bloody showdown to come. But can Twister and his men trust their new allies? Or will they get more than they bargain for?This novella includes an excerpt from the novel STAR WARS: SURVIVOR'S QUEST by Timothy Zahn and an interview with the author.

The Fools of Time
by William E. BarrettFor a man who has dealt with the imponderables of outer space and the intangibles of extra-sensory perception, this projection into the future of a serum that halts and reverses the ravages of age seems--to say the least--unexpected. The story is told through the experiences of a top editor of a Denver newspaper, to whom the facts have been brought by the scientist originally responsible. That this scientist has resisted publicity and exploitation and demanded freedom- and backing- for his real goal of cancer research makes things very difficult for the government, faced with highly dramatic claims to initial discovery on the part of the Soviet. The story gathers momentum when there is a leak; T.V. puts on a six-part show with selected individuals serving as guinea pigs; professional disapproval--uncertainty as to outcome- charges of sterility becoming impotency--all of these factors make the whole subject a matter of major concern. But underlying the story is the double-barreled ethical issue: what are the rights of control of the individual scientist confronted by a government dilemma; what are the responsibilities of the communication world in protecting man from himself? Barrett has posed some challenging questions. The impact of his central theme is, this reader feels, weakened by the injection of the human relation issues between father and son, father and daughter, divorced from the serum and its problems.

An ancient magic still lives in his veins. And though he may have let his skills as royal assassin diminish over the years, such things, once learned, are not so easily forgotten.Now enemies and friends alike are about to learn that nothing is more dangerous than a man who has nothing left to lose.Praise for Fool&’s Quest &“A complex tapestry of adventure, betrayal, destiny, and unrelenting peril . . .
