Lendas de Lemúria
by Scott Michael Decker J. G. Soares“Não existe um lugar como Lemúria!” Casper ficou surpreso com a veemência na voz de sua esposa. Ela age como se eu falasse sobre isso o tempo todo, pensou, franzindo a testa. Viu o rosto franzido em seu semblante e desviou o olhar. "Por que você não pode falar sobre nos tirar desta bola de barro?" Era uma pergunta que ela teria feito a Casper muitas vezes. Ele suspirou e não conseguiu parar sua reação. "Mas eu estou falando sobre sairmos daqui. Se conseguir encontrar um de seus cristais.” "Você nunca verá um desses cristais. Ninguém os tem! Porque eles não existem! É impossível!" Ela atirou as mãos ao ar e saiu de sua presença. Casper olhou para a porta vazia, perguntando-se se ela iria, mesmo sabendo que não funcionaria e que apenas a frastaria. Não havia como convencê-la. Ele olhou ao redor do espaço restrito. Uma cela de prisão em Karata. No Cinturão de Orion.

Lenny Cyrus, School Virus
by Joe Schreiber Matt SmithIt seemed so logical at first. Fourteen-year-old Lenny Cyrus had loved Zooey Andrews since third grade. All the boy genius needed to do to win her heart, surely, was shrink down to the size of an amoeba, ooze into a gelatin capsule, and have his friend Harlan slip it (him!) into Zooey's Diet Coke. Told in three voices, this fantastical middle grade novel takes Lenny deep into Zooey's loud, splashing innards, where a talking astrovirus named Astro has a bad attitude about white blood cells ("self-righteous pus-bags") and aromatic hormones disco dance. The question is, will Lenny and Zooey survive his crazy experiment in nanotechnology? The worst part comes when Lenny inadvertently triggers an infection in Zooey's brain, and her whole body goes into lockdown. Can Lenny rescue Zooey before his time is up? Lenny Cyrus is determined to find his way into Zooey's heart. Literally.

The Lens of the World Trilogy: Lens of the World, King of the Dead, and The Belly of the Wolf (Lens of the World Trilogy #1)
by R. A. MacAvoyThe enchanting fantasy series by the John W. Campbell Award–winning author of Tea with the Black Dragon. Warrior, linguist, astronomer, philosopher, lens grinder, lord, dwarf—the name Nazhuret conjures many definitions. His story is not a simple one: The course of his history is a strange and winding tale filled with danger. All three novels in this epic saga about the outcast-turned-legend are collected in one incredible volume. Lens of the World: In this New York Times Notable Book, a tenacious orphan discovers his identity. Raised as both servant and student at the military Royal School of Sordaling, Nazhuret has been an outsider as long as he can recall. Yet, when he is taken in by a mysterious madman and educated in arts ranging from lens grinding to war, he sets on a path that will change the course of not only his own life, but the entire realm of Velonya. King of the Dead: Fate has offered Nazhuret the opportunity to rise above his status to a position of glory and wealth, but he would rather live quietly in obscurity with Arlin, the love of his life. Unfortunately, the secrets of his past cannot stay buried, and Nazhuret soon finds himself once again embroiled in the conflicts of the kingdom, fighting for his life and for the land he calls home. The Belly of the Wolf: In the twilight of his life, after a long respite from the tumultuous world of war and intrigue, Nazhuret embarks on one final adventure. Velonya is in chaos after the apparently unnatural death of Nazhuret’s old friend, the king. Together with his daughter, Nazhuret must use his wisdom, courage, and talent to keep civil war from destroying everything he loves.
Lensman From Rigel
by David Kyle E. E. SmithThe second of three companion pieces to E.E. "Doc" Smith's magnificent space opera "The Lensmen" series, this novel follows the affairs of the non-human Second Stage Lensman Tregonsee, Director of Intelligence for the Galactic Patrol, as he faces many problems during the consolidation of Civilization in two galaxies after the (apparent) defeat of the evil empire Boskone. David Kyle was a personal friend of "Doc" Smith's, and received permission from the Smith estate to write three novels concerning the three non-human Lensmen that attained "second stage" status. Most of the characters from the original Lensmen epic are retained, and several new ones are added. Fans of The Lensmen series might find these companion novels disappointing, as they are not "clones" of the original. The writing style is not as "slam-bang" as Smith's, the characters have more depth, and the "science" part of the science fiction has been updated to the mid-70's. Nonetheless, they are a very enjoyable and highly competent addition to the Lensen universe.

It’s a miracle that when Girolamo visits the deathbed of Lorenzo “the Magnificent,” the dying Medici is wreathed in celestial light, a surprise to everyone, Lorenzo included. It’s a miracle that when Charles VIII of France invades northern Italy, Girolamo meets him in the field, and convinces him to not only spare Florence but also protect it. It’s a miracle than whenever Girolamo preaches, crowds swoon. It’s a miracle that, despite the Pope’s determination to bring young Girolamo to heel, he’s still on the loose…and, now, running Florence in all but name.That’s only the beginning. Because Girolamo Savanarola is not who—or what—he thinks he is. He will discover the truth about himself at the most startling possible time. And this will be only the beginning of his many lives."Rendered with Walton's usual power and beauty...It's this haunting character complexity that ultimately holds the reader captive to the tale." —N.

Leo The African
by Amin MaaloufFrom his chlidhood in Fez, having fled the Christian Inquisition, through his many journeys to the East as an itinerant merhcant, Hasans story is a quixotic catalogue of pirates, slave girls and princesses, encompassing the complexities of a world in a state of religious flux. Hasan too is touched by the instability of the era, performing his hadj to Mecca, then converting to Christianity, only to relapse back to the Muslim faith later in life. In re-creating his extraordinary experiences, Amin Maalouf sketches an irrisistible portrait of the Mediterranea world as it was nearly five centuries ago - the fall of Granada, the Ottoman conquest of Egypt, Renaissance Rome under the Medicis: all contribute to a background of spectacular colour, matched only by the picaresque adventures of Hasan's life.

Leo@fergusrules.com
by Arne Tangherlini Pagan KennedyLeonora (Leo) is an Italian Asian American teen-ager with a rotten attitude and a genius I.Q. Thrown out of twelve schools and fluent in as many languages, she's sent to live with her grandmother in the Philippines, where she spends all her time in a computer environment called Apeiron - a parasitic virtual reality program which drove its mad creator to dive headlong into a gorge. Only in Apeiron can Leo shed the awkward body of an adolescent girl and emerge in the persona of Fergus, the warrior; only in Apeiron can she hobnob with Socrates and John Lennon. But one day the only boy she's ever liked disappears, and Leo, in a quest to rescue him, finds herself lured into the program's computer generated hell. A post-modern tilt at Alice in Wonderland, a computer-age Huckleberry Finn, leo@fergusrules.com is above all the story of a young woman's search for the lost world of her ancestors in a society in which technology has replaced community.Arne Tangherlini received his A.B. in History and Literature from Harvard and his M.A. from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. He was a teacher for many years both in the Philippines and the United States and the co-author of Smart Kids: How Academic Talents are Nurtured and Developed in America."Leo @ fergusrulesrules.com is a fantastical coming of age story about a brainy, racially mixed teenage girl...who spends much of her spare time in her bedroom, jacked into a cyber wonderland called Apeiron. This computer-generated 3-D world is a timeless landscape, home to a historical line-up of digitally re-created dignitaries, such as Confucius, Julius Caesar and Napoleon... She also encounters relatives and ancestors, including her great aunt, who as a young woman survives being shot by American soldiers in the Philippine American War. Other dangers include pterodactyls with giant Barbie-doll bodies that dump guano and screech, 'Nike, Guess, Benetton, Levi's! Tommy, Tommy, Tommy-boy!" and a child-steamrollering Zamboni that is operated by gnomelike people and has a control room guarded by a three-headed dog. Needless to say, Leo is a trip...a 21st century homage to the works of Argentine poet and author Jorge Luis Borges
