She’s back, pimpin’ out notable new releases to place on your radar!
PRIMEVAL: THE LOST ISLAND by Paul Kearney — PRIMEVAL sees evolutionary zoologist Nick Cutter make the terrifying discovery that prehistoric creatures are alive and well in the 21st century. The natural world is turned on its head and humanity faces extinction as unexplained anomalies rip holes in the fabric of time and allow creatures from the earliest stages of Earth’s development to roam the modern world. Set on a mysterious island in the perilous Irish seas in this adventure, Cutter, Stephen, Abbie and Connor face a terrifying new challenge and are forced to confront terrifying creatures from the past and the future with gripping consequences.
THE COLLECTED SHORT STORIES OF LOUIS L’AMOUR, VOLUME SIX: THE CRIME STORIES by Louis L’Amour — Traversing a vivid landscape, from sunblasted hills and canyons to the nighttime streets of America’s greatest cities, some of L’Amour’s most compelling fiction was set in his own time — whether in the naked electric glare of boxing rings where men go head-to-head with their dreams and demons in an underworld rife with corruption, or along freight docks where laborers toil to earn just enough to get by, or in the penthouses of the rich and arrogant who calculate the odds of how to get even more. Here are tales of innocents caught in the schemes of criminals, detectives hunting down truths that hide more lies, gamblers and beauties, wiseguys and cops. Here is a world populated by the kinds of people who risk their lives to right a wrong, make a buck, or save a friend.
WORLDS OF THEIR OWN edited by James Lowder — Many of today’s best (and best-selling) fantasists got their start writing shared world fiction supporting roleplaying games. This massive anthology collects more than a dozen thrilling tales from R.A. Salvatore, Michael A. Stackpole, Monte Cook, Ed Greenwood, Elaine Cunningham and more to give an exciting overview of the original worlds and characters of authors who achieved their greatest fame writing stories they do not own. It is an unprecedented sampler of fantasy and science fiction adventure tales from some of the best-loved and best-known authors in the genre.
THE ENGINE’S CHILD by Holly Phillips — Lanterns and flickering bulbs light the shadowy world of the rasnan, the island at the edge of a world-spanning ocean that harbors, in its ivory towers and mossy temples, the descendants of men and women who long ago fled a world ruined by magical and technological excess. But not all the island’s inhabitants are resigned to exile. A mysterious brotherhood seeks to pry open doors that lead back to their damaged, dangerous homeland. Others risk the even greater danger of flight, seeking new lands and new freedoms in the vast, uncharted sea.
