Book Description
A major new novel from the Nobel laureate Peter Handke—one of his most inventive and dazzlingly original works On a summer day under a blue sky a man is stung on his foot by a bee. “The sting signaled that the time had come to set out, to hit the road. Off with you. The hour of departure has arrived.” The man boards a train to Paris, crosses the city by Métro, then boards another, disembarking in a small town on the plains to the north. He is searching for a young woman he calls the Fruit Thief, who, like him, has set off on a journey to the Vexin plateau. What follows is a vivid but dreamlike exploration of topography both physical and affective, charting the Fruit Thief’s perambulations across France’s internal borderlands: alongside rivers and through ravines, beside highways and to a bolt-hole under the stairs of an empty hotel. Chance encounters—with a man scrambling through the underbrush in search of his lost cat, and with a delivery boy who abandons his scooter to become a fellow traveler for a day—are like so many throws of the dice, each exposing new facets of this mysterious individual in the manner of a cubist portrait. In prose of unrivaled precision, lucidly rendered into English by Krishna Winston, The Fruit Thief elevates the terrain of everyday life to epic status, and situates the microgeography of an individual at the center of a book like few others. This is one of Nobel laureate Peter Handke’s most significant and original achievements.

Book Description
Justin Imperiale will need to fly a grav sled down the great river of the South Continent. He suspects that Lord Vorell may have created a special crop for a tribe called Chachapoya and perhaps for other tribes. The Chachapoya were driven from their homeland and now want to return. Justin tricks the Association of Nations into setting up support depots for the return of the Chachapoya so that Justin can explore the great river for signs of Lord Vorell's bounty.While Justin waits, he sets up trade between his mountain crest Empire and the rest of Corin.War then brews in an Old World South Continent called Ifrequeh. There's a Temple of Vorell in Ifrequeh that supposedly contains one of the scrolls that Justin is seeking. He decides to involve himself in the war in Ifrequeh, in order to possibly acquire another scroll.Justin travels to Ifrequeh, along with several Commandos and six grav sleds. The grav sleds are fitted with fake wooden wings and noisemakers to resemble giant vampire bats. The fake vampire bats scatter the mobs that threaten to conquer the South of Ifrequeh and the armies of the South are then able to deal with the remnants of the mobs. During the attack of the mobs, Justin acquires, for safe keeping, the scroll he seeks from the High Priest of a Temple of Vorell that comes under attack.With the help of Norva Lemni, Justin then gets food and medical shipments headed North to help the people whom the mobs looted.He then forces a Warlord, responsible for at least some of the mobs into a spear fight. Justin then uses the results of the spear fight to recruit a tribe call Ngoba to seize a government arms depot in Zimboja. With the Ngoba in control of the depot, the political situation is balanced with several tribes too evenly matched for a war to be profitable. However, there is a second Warlord and he sends a 'leopard man' to kill Justin. Justin uses the situation to his advantage. He then learns, through an Ngoba Chief, that there's a large gold mine in the North of Zimboja. Justin then manages to convince the Prime Minister of Zimboja to grant him the mining concession, in return for solving problems at the mine. Justin and Ngoba warriors then seize the mine.Justin then becomes involved with a sisterhood organization, in which at least the leaders have paranormal powers. The gaining of the paranormal powers came about due to a visit by a white man, almost certainly Lord Vorell.With information gained from the sisterhood, Justin then disposes of the remaining Warlord.Justin still has his second chance!

Book Description
“There are many rooms in the Winter Court, but none shall take you out of it.” The Cait Sidhe has been defeated. James, Cai, and Cecil’s sister, Vera, are alone on the wild moors. But there is no time to rest or mourn. Deirdre and Iain are trapped in the Winter Court after the young faery was lured there by the Winter King. He assigns an unwilling Raisa, the Winter Queen, to train Deirdre to control her wild, unstable magic, a task that is fraught with peril for both women. Iain is isolated, encased by protective magic – but it may not be enough to keep him safe from all the dangers and schemes of the Unseelies. As the Unseelies embark on their Wild Hunt and pave the way for an invasion, the Iron Guard moves to recall their people from the area of the Summer Court, led by Edgar Windsor, the heir to the throne and Alvey’s uncle. He and his men are on a collision course with both the Seelies and their captive, General Alan Callaghan, who is guilty of high treason. With his fate uncertain, Alan dreams of reconciliation and forgiveness from his family. But he must first grapple with his crimes against the Seelie faeries and the human army. The Stolen Vow is book six in the seven-book Winter's Blight series.
