Told in Haggard’s usual adventuresome style, and with just the right amount of magic and fantasy, we follow Harmachis as he grows into the role of an underground leader of his people, as he’s placed into Cleopatra’s court, and as he recounts the various trials and tribulations that accompany his plots against Cleopatra, whom he calls “a Thing of Flame like unto which no woman has ever been or ever will...

Description
Clerambault is a minor poet in pre-World War I France and a believer in European integration and the impossibility of war. But when war is declared, he is swept up in the surrounding nationalism and militarism—though he maintains a sense of discomfort and recognition that his opinions have changed. It’s only when tragedy befalls his family that he’s forced to belatedly recognize his complicity in the war and the ruin it has caused. He commits himself to speaking out against the war, but this doesn’t make him any friends. He’s condemned as a traitor—even by his former friends and colleagues.
Despite the public and private rejections, Clerambault continues to dedicate his time and literary skills to exposing the crimes being...

Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over — while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled — especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor.
With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. As Humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above...

The Holidays Are Hell Churchwitch Chess Putnam has seen, and banished, her share of ghosts, but not of the Christmas Past variety—the holiday has been illegal since the Church of Real Truth defeated the undead and took control of the world in 1997. Yet when she and her boyfriend, Terrible, make a trip to an abandoned auto junkyard, they find more than the rusted auto parts and spare tires they’d bargained for. They also run across a creepy Miss Havisham-type hell-bent on reuniting with her long-dead husband just in time for Christmas—even if it means taking Chess and Terrible down with her into the City of Eternity… If Chess and Terrible don't manage to keep these ghosts in the past, they won't have a...
