Book Description
So our motley crew continues on its path to glory (or destruction), as Xanthos, Zeus' bastard son pursues his quest to become a hero, while Pythia tries desperately to keep him out of harm's way with her prophesies. But now they've got company: Elecantha, a nymph from the underworld hired by Acacia to capture Pythia. Somehow they end up partaking in the renowned TV show 'Antiquity's Got Talent', have a run in with a giant fox and a few minor disagreements with a group of centaurs. And that's just the half of it. Never a dull moment where Pythia and Xanthos are concerned.

Book Description
Pythia lives in Delphi, in Ancient Greece, and between her classes at high school and her part-time job at the temple of Apollo, she leads quite a normal, boring life... until the day that she refuses Apollo's advances and he places upon her a terrible curse. She is now able to predict the future, but whenever she sees a catastrophic event on the horizon, no one believes her warnings and she is helpless to stop it from taking place. However, her new skills draw the interest some of the highest authorities: Zeus, the king of the Gods, entrusts her with a mission. Zeus has fathered yet another bastard child, a boy named Xanthos, and his wife Hera is on the war path. Wherever Xanthos goes, she rains down misfortunes and disasters, but maybe Pythia's prophecies could help the arrogant young Xanthos to survive the wrath of Hera.

Back in Ancient Greece, not only have the Gods lost their powers, but the Titans—their vengeful ancestors—have escaped from prison. It's all Xanthos's fault. He may be Zeus's son, but he has a knack for doing the wrong thing—despite warnings from Pythia, the beautiful young oracle who can predict only disaster. So now, the Titans' ruthless leader, Cronus, who devoured his own children to stop them usurping him, is threatening to take over the world. Pythia and Xanthos have finally gotten their act together, but can they defeat Cronus or will he turn them into scroll-ends?

THE MORE YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FUTURE, THE MORE THERE MAY BE TO FEAR. Tara Sheridan is the best criminal profiler around—and the most unconventional. Trained as a forensic psychologist, Tara also specializes in Tarot card reading. But she doesn’t need her divination skills to realize that the new assignment from her friend and sometime lover, Agent Harry Li, is a dangerous proposition in every way. Former Cold War operatives, all linked to a top-secret operation tracking the disposal of nuclear weapons in Russia, are disappearing. There are no bodies, and no clues to their whereabouts. Harry suspects a conspiracy to sell arms to the highest bidder. The cards—and Tara’s increasingly ominous dreams—suggest something darker.

And a nightmare that began decades ago in Chernobyl will reach a terrifying endgame that not even Tara could have foreseen. . . .

Book Description
The year is 1849, and the future state of California is under the control of former soldiers from the Mexican-American War. Their leader, General Gomez, is busy buying up the locals' land for pennies on the dollar, so that he and his cronies can maximize their profits from the coming gold rush. But he and his men are dogged by a series of masked, would-be avengers all calling themselves Zorro. They are an almost laughable annoyance, simple peasants living out the fantasy of a local legend. Until one man shows up and starts picking off Gomez's men one by one, as stealthy as a fox. He brandishes a sword which he uses to carve the letter Z into his victims' cheeks... Could this be the true Zorro?

Book Description
The Beach Boys and the Beatles are filling up the airwaves, but halfway between California and Liverpool, another band is putting together a sound that will change rock ‘n’ roll forever. Andy Warhol discovers the Velvet Underground in a little tourist bar in New York, and he soon becomes the producer for this group whose songs aren’t so much about girls and hot rods but shooting up, alternative lifestyles, and the melancholy after the party. It’s the late sixties, but not quite everything is flower power. The radio wants nothing to do with the Velvets, but the cool kids know who they are, and the enormous influence of this short-lived band has yet to abate.
