Book Description
A dark age hangs over Galactic civilization. Eleven centuries from the present day the Transhuman Overlords engage in a war with the organic colonies. Mankind's stellar civilizations falter for a millennium. But the worst has only begun. Psychic and parasitic, entities of dark matter begin to reveal themselves-soul eating, macabre, and legion. Galvanized by the Transhuman's horrific war, It has taken them the long centuries to cross the intergalactic void in number since the holocausts. They are hungry. A grim young smuggler must unravel the secrets the Transhumans are keeping from the galaxy. In a stolen battle frigate he assembles a crew. Hunted by the syndicate and bounty hunters, they barely hang on to their trade guild membership. Transhuman Overlords, Fleet Generals, renegade war dogs; like flotsam in a tide they are all pulled toward a mysterious nebula to unlock a series of mysteries going back 63 million years when the Predecessor civilization mysteriously dissapeared... Outside the hull, decades later, Vince watched those same Pleiades filling his vision field now from horizon to horizon. They were in King Victors realms now, most certainly. The heavy guildsman staring at him now was Elias Tristan. He still held his inscrutable smile, more broadly at the moment. "Mercenary rates? Very good now, certainly. But whose flag would you fly under?" A test? Choose quickly, choose well. "King Victors." Vince offered. "Ahh, yes. The Royal police," In the hologram he rose from the big golden chair and moved about what appeared to be a library of sorts. "And before I recommend you to the good king, how do I know Cyborgian Central Air Command won't come looking for that frigate? You're still booting their codes, and very old codes they are. You can get in many places, no questions asked, with codes that old. "People will think you're a Cyborgian Overlord with that ship. People who know such things. But you'll need more, more codes. Most will think it merely a restoration, that you are perhaps an eccentric and wealthy trader. But not everyone-and for them you'll need another pass. "How you came into possession of that ship I can only guess-I won't wallow in conjecture. The question begs too many other questions. But it shows a certain level of resourcefulness that I admire. "You're from the Sagittarius Arm, I see-an Outworlder. Well, you saved my life today and asked nothing in return but information. But what I'm going to offer you now comes only by invitation, and then, only rarely. I'm going to offer you a Guild initiate." Vince felt his stomach drop, he had no protocol in mind for such an offer. "I humbly accept." He said quietly. Good answer, Elias smiled less enigmatically, more humanely. Good answer. So it was that Vince came into possession of the silver insignia of the Mercury-head helmet, and wings of the Trading Guild which he wore with a black captain's jacket and cap. "Your first job as a guildsman will be to provide escort for my ship and her company to the Zamoran O'Neil Station at edge of the Oort clouds of Electra. That battlewagon you're Captaining will do. But first, there is the matter of salvage-a good guildsman never misses an opportunity for salvage." He and Elias went EVA to examine the wreckage of the Marauder's vessel. Vince had never been EVA. He sealed his ship and swam out to the depths of deep space and zero gee with a mind-bending terror he had never known possible. Such complete and awful knowledge assailed him like a sudden slap once he was outside the ship. Only emptiness extending in every direction. It threatened to plunge him into complete insanity. He shivered, wanting to scream. Instead, he focused on the ships glimmering in the starlight, and then, like a thousand blue jewels, the Pleiades.

Book Description
Anne Rice, creator of the Vampire Lestat, the Mayfair witches and the amazing worlds they inhabit, now gives us the first in a new series of novels linked together by the fledgling vampire David Talbot, who has set out to become a chronicler of his fellow Undead. The novel opens in present-day Paris in a crowded café, where David meets Pandora. She is two thousand years old, a Child of the Millennia, the first vampire ever made by the great Marius. David persuades her to tell the story of her life. Pandora begins, reluctantly at first and then with increasing passion, to recount her mesmerizing tale, which takes us through the ages, from Imperial Rome to eighteenth-century France to twentieth-century Paris and New Orleans. She carries us back to her mortal girlhood in the world of Caesar Augustus, a world chronicled by Ovid and Petronius. This is where Pandora meets and falls in love with the handsome, charismatic, lighthearted, still-mortal Marius. This is the Rome she is forced to flee in fear of assassination by conspirators plotting to take over the city. And we follow her to the exotic port of Antioch, where she is destined to be reunited with Marius, now immortal and haunted by his vampire nature, who will bestow on her the Dark Gift as they set out on the fraught and fantastic adventure of their two turbulent centuries together. Look for Anne Rice’s new book, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, coming November 29, 2016.

Book Description
Winteroud Sole, psychic, archaeologist, aristocrat adventurer pursues mysterious quantum ghost echoes in the ruins of New Galen Starport. Strangely, his visions include a Transhuman on the high council at Deneb IV many centuries later. Tracing the echoes to a single fleeing ship that made its way deep outspace to the frontier, the mystery unfolds then as a young smuggler makes an astounding discovery that leads him out into the stars with a Trade guild as a mercenary and trader. A cyborg female superspy is awakened and her sentience implanted into a clone by the Transhuman High Council. She is sent on a mission to follow Winteroud, and so the threads of centuries and lives continue to weave as a mad Transhuman Overlord and the super spy seek to unite a Rogue fleet general, a Pirate Lord, the smuggler, and Winteroud as a force of magnificent raiders to make a last stand for humanity.Slithering across the dimensional voidin a swarm, demonic beings, psychic vampires that twist and destroy. They are the secret to the Fermi paradox, having destroyed all sentient life in our Galaxy before.What are they? How can they be fought? These are the tales of a motley crew of rogues in a dark, Pandoran age....As you've done unto my men, thus will be done unto you, sewer slime. Max felt his eyes grow dark. Why couldn't he remember? There was something special about this op, something important that he needed to remember. The targets were-it skirted the edge of his consciousness. Just out of reach.Like someone had tweaked his brain.Could they do that? Out here, deep space? No labs, on board a small fighter, close quarters, hand to hand combat- and then drag in medical equipment to mess with his grey matter? He growled, "rat chewing, worm worshipping, cowards!"How had they gotten on board?Max dropped back into MERGE and set the fighter on a heavy rush into hyper heading back for civilization. He might encounter Marauders when he set over the galactic core. That would be no surfing safari, he'd get through. A good story for next when he hit the taverns. The small fighter streamed into zero space and Max felt the gleaming winds of the hyper-gamma spaces brush his cheeks. He watched for hyper trails like a starving hawk. Somebody was going to give him some sweet red payback tail.He only wished he could remember who.The last of the pig-monkeys was howling as Babayaga ate its face. She dropped its ugly little body back into the flat dimensions, felt the thrill of its fear and then stretched in delight at her superiority. She could see, far into the intergalactic black, the horde coming. A hunt! A feast it would be! A whole galaxy of fearful beings. Ohhh!(she hears in the resonance of high dimension her roar of ecstacy, the kill! The kill!) The fears she had explored in the corners of their flatworld minds. Yes, so good, the electricity running through their mind, coursing through the organic patterns of flatworld flesh. Pathetic creatures. Except for the one pig-monkey. Aghh! Her anger raged around the dimensional curls and she rolled on, over the flows of radiance seething, hating. No matter what corner of its brain she searched, she found no fears to taste. The others, they were strong, and she had to work to find the drug of fear, flashing through the dimensions of their memories, deep into their lives, their past-the things pushed away, the shadow things repressed. That one, he was the strongest. Defeat haunted her. He'd looked her square and kept coming! She remembered the bitter taste of his mind. It had repelled her. She couldn't kill him, nor could she let him live to tell his tale. If the other pig-monkeys figured how he'd eluded death it would be a disaster for the horde.With his primitive scooter craft scuttled into the belly of a gravity well, she'd watched him sink to him doom. She shook a million black tentacles. She felt the curling fronds of her proboscis.pandoranage.com
