To Warm the Earth
by David BeldenThe rule of men led to atomic war. Nuclear winter ice wiped Earth clean of cities. For centuries now, the rule of women has labored to restore balance. But warriors and kings are on the rise again. The priestesses in the snow-covered caves of Northern India consider the Snow Tiger to be the sacred symbol of all earth's goddesses. A girl who longs to be a priestess kills a snow tiger while defending her family against its attack, and is banished for breaking the taboo. Osen, the old African priestess with extraordinary powers, knows that male civilization survived in space. She creates a son, Govind, up above on the space station. His mission: to heal the spacemen and lead them back to warm and protect the Earth. All she needs is a bold, brave young woman to go into orbit to be his mentor. She has her eye on Mana, the tiger-slayer. But will Govind be able to bring the healing Goddess religion of Earth to space? Can Mana hold his genius in check? If she goes, will she ever see her beloved earth, or the woman she loves, again?
The Garden of the Shaped (Volume 1 of The Shaper Exile)
by Sheila FinchBanished to an uninhabited planet, a handful of genetic scientists prepare to live out eternity. Here, beyond the reach of their accusers, theory becomes reality. Experimenting with stolen human germ plasm, they shape mankind into races unlike anything Earth has ever seen: the whimsical Llani metamorphs, the inventive but rebellious Ganus, and the Rhodaru warriors with the truth sense. Once their great test has begun, the immortal geneticists agree never to interfere. But like the races they invent, the scientists are human. Still, nothing they do prepares the Llanis for the Ganu uprising 500 years later. Queen Sivell is young, but she possesses an unerring wisdom -- a trait rare in Llanis of any age. As she ascends to the throne, war has already begun. Sivell's own unique parentage and her newfound knowledge of her people's origins could bring peace to her world -- or death to her people!
Seeking the Dream Brother
by Marcia J. BennettDhalvad needed the alien crystal Tamorlee to find his long-lost brother Bhaldavin. But the crystal had its own dreams... The Unbearable Lightness of Being A sphere of light hovered ten or so meters above the roof. "They've come!" Amet cried. "They want the crystals!" A smaller ball of light detached itself from the larger one and drifted down until it stopped just above the roof. It bobbled slightly as if something was moving inside. Slowly the ball grew in length until it was almost as tall as a man. As they all watched, the light took on form. They could see a body and a head shape, then legs and arms, all wrapped in glowing light. Please do not fear us. The being's words had no sound. We will not harm you.

The Gathering
by Anne EnrightAnne Enright is a dazzling writer of international stature and one of Ireland's most singular voices. Now she delivers The Gathering, a moving, evocative portrait of a large Irish family and a shot of fresh blood into the Irish literary tradition, combining the lyricism of the old with the shock of the new. The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan are gathering in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother, Liam, drowned in the sea. His sister, Veronica, collects the body and keeps the dead man company, guarding the secret she shares with him-something that happened in their grandmother's house in the winter of 1968. As Enright traces the line of betrayal and redemption through three generations her distinctive intelligence twists the world a fraction and gives it back to us in a new and unforgettable light. The Gathering is a daring, witty, and insightful family epic, clarified through Anne Enright's unblinking eye. It is a novel about love and disappointment, about how memories warp and secrets fester, and how fate is written in the body, not in the stars.<P><P> Man Booker Prize winner
