KOP
by Warren HammondIts booming economy was fueled by the exportation of a unique brandy made from a plant found in its tropical rain forests. But after years of prosperity, the boom collapsed when the brandy lost its unique appeal. An interstellar cartel had found a way to artificially synthesize a brandy that people liked almost as much ... and which cost much less to produce, leaving Lagarto a dark, destitute world overrun by corruption, prostitution, and drugs. Juno is a dirty cop with a difficult past and even more difficult relationships. Born on Lagarto to parents who emigrated from Earth during the planet's boom but arrived after its economy crashed, he is but one of the many Lagartans who live lives of quiet desperation. But it wasn't always like this for Juno. When he was a young cop on the force of capital city Koba's Office of Police, he and his partner worked to break the drug trade. Now his former partner is the beleaguered chief of police, and Juno is a cop on the take, facing a bleak future. Yet despite his past sins and his present problems, some small part of Juno has not given up hope. So when he and a new, beautiful rookie partner are assigned to a particularly ugly murder case, he risks his life, his marriage, and his job to expose a scandal so big it could blow the lid off everything that's wrong with Lagarto. But he's got more pressing problems: a mole who's working to sabotage the department, a short list of leads, and a growing body count that threatens to include his closest friend . . . and himself.

by Abhishek Dalaviही कादंबरी लेखकाकडून लिहली गेलेली पहिली प्रेमकथा आहे. आपल्या देशाच्या इतिहासात कित्येक प्रेमकथा होऊन गेल्या आहेत. काहींनी इतिहास बनवला तर काही इतिहासात हरवून गेल्या. आजही प्रेम करण्याचा हक्क प्रत्येकाला आहे पण आपल्या मर्जीने लग्न करायचा अजिबात नाही. आजही कित्येक प्रेमकथा पूर्ण होतात पण काही कायमच्या अपूर्ण राहतात. जास्तीच जास्त प्रेमकथा अपूर्ण राहतात त्या मुला आणि मुलीकडील घरच्यांच्या नकारामुळे. या घरच्या मंडळींची नकार देण्याची कारणसुद्धा अगदी अफलातून असतात बरं. काही कुटुंबाना मुलगा देखणा हवा तर काहींना मुलगी कमावणारी हवी, काहींना मुलगी आपल्या जातीतली हवी तर काहींना मुलगा दुसऱ्या कुळातला हवा, काही सुनेकडे हुंडा मागतात तर काही जावयाला घरजावई बनवण्याचा हट्ट करतात. काहीवेळा मूलाकडच्यांचा होकार असतो तर मुलींकडच्यांचा नकार असतो. काही वेळा मुलीकडच्यांचा होकार असतो तर मूलाकडच्यांचा नकार असतो आणि जर दोघांकडूनही होकार असेल तर तो नकारात बदलायला कुंडलीचा दोष पुरेसा असतो. लेखकाच्या मते कोणावर जीवापाड प्रेम केल्यानंतर फक्त घरच्यांच्या हट्टापोटी त्यासोबत नात तोडून टाकणं, त्या पासून कायमच दूर निघून जाण, त्याला विसरून जाण या पेक्षा मोठं दुःख या जगात असूच शकत नाही. लेखकाची ही कथाही अशाच दोन पात्रांशी निगडित आहे. ज्यांची कुटुंब, शहर, रस्ते एकमेकांपासून फार दूर आहेत. पण त्याचं प्रेम, आकांशा आणि नशीब त्यांना त्यांचं आयुष्य एकत्र जगण्यासाठी मदत करत. आता त्यांचं आयुष्य म्हणजे नियतीचा मेळ आहे, नशिबाचा खेळ आहे मी प्रेमाचे फळ हे ही कादंबरी वाचून तुम्हीच ठरवा.
Kaeti & Company
by Keith RobertsKaeti and her companions inhabit a strange world; a 'theatre of the mind' where the unexpected is commonplace, where ghosts, vampires and even the odd goddess may be encountered at any turn. It is a tribute to the author's skill that Kaeti's world seems, at all times, as real as our own, sometimes uncomfortably so. Whether satirising the mores of the Thames Valley or exposing the curious antics of the publishing world, Roberts is equally at home. He explores the gamut of human emotions; high comedy alternates with terror, the most delicate of love scenes are set against the iron dreariness of Death Row. Always though, at the focus, is Kaeti; witty and resourceful, resilient and vulnerable by turns. Some characters may change their roles with lightning speed, like the players i n a repertory company - but Kaeti remains. As does London. Robert always displays a knowledge of a city haunted by its own past, and a love for its highways and byways, that will surprise old fans and win him many new admirers.

Kaeti on Tour
by Keith RobertsKaeti branches out, moves farther from her beloved London. In the process she makes a whole range of new, intriguing friends; and lands herself in some scrapes startling even by her standards. The shadows she sprays on the pavement of a Thames Valley town come alive to haunt her; later, the magic Tiger Sweater she acquires does more than haunt the subjects of her wrath. While for a time her latest experience of France also looks like being her last. In a Thames-side hotel she conjures Hell on request; on a deserted airfield, and in the Green Palace, Glasgow, Hell returns to haunt her. In the West Country, she meets an eighteenth century benefactress; or is she? Certainly the experience lands Kaeti in hospital; for a while it seems she's about to cross the Bridge of Dreams herself. Finally she circles back to London' but a London neither you nor she has never seen... But it's all in a day's work for Kaeti, the Bow Bells actress who is in touch with things magical and eternal.
