The Lordly Ones
by Keith RobertsKeith Robert's The Lordly Ones offers a wide variety of sf and fantasy (and even a ghost story). The title story is a vision of near-future Britain collapsing in social disorder told from the viewpoint of a slow-witted lavatory attendant. Another take, "The Comfort Station", approaches a similar situation from a quite different perspective. In other stories we see Roberts in a more light-hearted vein: "The Checkout", another of his series of stories about a modern-day witch, Anita, or "Diva", a tale of singer of unique abilities. In "Ariadne Potts" a man's wish brings a classical statue to life, with, inevitably, unfortunate results. "The Castle and the Hoop" is an atmospheric ghost story set around the pubs of Southwark. And "Sphairistike" is perhaps the only sf story ever to centre on the game of tennis.

Lords of Grass and Thunder
by Curt BenjaminFrom the book jacket: Young Prince Tayy, heir to the khan of the powerful Qubal clans, a nomadic Mongol-like race is returning home an adored hero from a war between the gods and demons. But what awaits Prince Tayy upon his return is a situation fully as dangerous as anything he has faced in battle. With his own father and mother slain by a treacherous demon who manifests as both a deadly, poisonous green bamboo snake and a beautiful woman, his uncle Mergen-Khan now rules over the Qubal people. But he has named Tayy as heir and sees himself as a custodian, holding the position only until his nephew is fully prepared to assume the leadership of the clans. Yet there are some determined to see that Tayy never claims his rightful place, those with the powers of dark magic who have marked the prince for death and will use any means to achieve this end. Mergen's own blanket son, the warrior Tutula, will prove easy prey for the mysterious seductress who can offer him all he desires if he is willing to pay the price she demands. And that price is Prince Tayy's life! But there are those equally determined to keep Tayy from harm--his own loyal guardsmen, Mergen-Khan. Tayy's grandmother. Lady Bortu, and the powerful shaman, Bolghai. And there is one unexpected champion of the prince, the young maiden named Eluneke, an apprentice shaman and the unacknowledged daughter of Mergen-Khan. Eluneke seems to have been touched by the gods, gifted with powers of prophecy and other, as yet untapped, talents. If Eluneke can survive the tests which the gods will set for her then she may well prove Tayy's best--perhaps his .only---hope to avoid the death which seems to be his destiny. But time is running out as swiftly as a green serpents deadly strike....

Lords of the Sith: Star Wars (Star Wars)
by Paul S. KempNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and their own ruthlessness to prevail. &“It appears things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted.&” Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor&’s chosen apprentice has swiftly proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters—and the truest measure of Vader&’s allegiance has yet to be taken. Until now. On Ryloth, a planet crucial to the growing Empire as a source of slave labor and the narcotic known as &“spice,&” an aggressive resistance movement has arisen, led by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic freedom fighter, and Isval, a vengeful former slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled world and its precious resources—by political power or firepower—and he will be neither intimidated nor denied. Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he sets out on a rare personal mission to ensure his will is done. For Syndulla and Isval, it&’s the opportunity to strike at the very heart of the ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. And for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down an insurrection: When an ambush sends them crashing to the planet&’s surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of resistance fighters await them, they will find their relationship tested as never before. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries.Praise for Lords of the Sith &“A compelling tale [that] gives us new insight into the relationship between Darth Vader and his master, Emperor Palpatine.&”—New York Daily News &“Endlessly fascinating . . . a tale [that is] not just compelling but completely thrilling.&”—Big Shiny Robot &“The best novel so far in this new era of official canon Star Wars stories.&”—IGN &“Packed with action . . . hard to put down.&”—Seattle Geekly
