Robert H. Fowler earned critical acclaim for Jim Mundy, his classic bestseller about a young man's journey to manhood during the American Civil War. Now, in a new novel set in the turbulent American West, Fowler seizes our imagination once again with his tale of a headstrong young girl. Annie Mundy's story begins in North Carolina in 1856, on the eve of the Civil War. The eldest daughter of a prosperous and pious magistrate, Annie is sixteen when scandal forces her westward to Oregon as an indentured servant. Thus begins a strange and wonderful odyssey that takes her to the gold fields of California and into the lives of: a down-at-heel English acting family; a pair of fleeing slaves; a vengeful gambler; a trio of raucous miners; a mean-spirited brothel owner; and two Mexican War veterans who will have a profound influence on Annie's life. As a young nation is bitterly rent by a war that turns boys into hardened men and cherished friends into traitorous enemies, Annie follows the western trail and the dictates of her own peripatetic heart on an exhilarating journey fraught with wonder, sorrow, discovery, and joy. A novel that introduces one of the most unforgettable heroines since Scarlett O'Hara, Annie Mundy takes readers on a rollicking adventure that crosses state lines and cultural and racial divides. As seen through the eyes of a young woman forging her future in a young and violent land, and informed by Annie's unique world view, her tale unfolds as a sweeping panorama that brings the 19th-Century west...and the men and women who endured hardship and calamity to settle this vast, unyielding wilderness...to vibrant, irresistible life.

Meet Peter LaNague... citizen of the planet Tolive, devotee of the Kyfho philosophy, revolutionary agent provocateur. But LaNague is planning a unique revolution -- one that not only topples the entrenched Outworld Imperium but fundamentally alters every Outworlder's concept of government as well. To accomplish this he must ally himself with a madman, trust the word of the last of Sol System's robber barons, make incisive use of the consummate warriors from the planet Flint without letting them tun amok, confound at every turn the omnipresent forces of the Imperium, and every now and then make it rain money. But those are the easy part. His greatest challenge will be to see his plan through to successful completion without becoming the very enemy he has vowed to destroy. An Enemy of the State is the heart and the cradle of F. Paul Wilson's LaNague series.

In 1965, Damon Knight founded the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), whose membership consisted of only seventy-eight writers at the time, and established the annual presentation of the Nebula Awards. Over thirty-five years later SFWA continues the tradition of awarding the best in the science fiction field, chosen by the active members of the organization. It was the SFWA's first secretary-treasurer, Lloyd Biggle, Jr., who suggested the publication of an annual anthology collecting the best stories of the year. The first volume, Nebula Award Stories, featuring four classic Nebula Award-winners and four distinguished runners-up in one landmark collection, including: Brian W. Aldiss conjures up an invasion of invisible monsters against an English farm in "The Saliva Tree." A psychiatrist breaks new ground in mental health with the ability to enter...and reshape...the minds of his patients in Roger Zelazny's "He Who Shapes". In Roger Zelazny's "The Doors of his Face, The Lamps of his Mouth", a man is given one last chance at capturing a legendary sea serpent in the oceans of Venus. A clownish figure disrupts productivity in a future where loss of time equals loss of life in Harlan Ellisons "'Repent Harlequin!' said the Ticktockman". Larry Niven's "Becalmed in Hell" asks the question whether a spaceshipís malfunction is mechanical...or psychological. In "Balanced Ecology" by James H. Schmitz, only two children can prevent the cutting and clearing of a diamondwood forest...with a little help from Mother Nature.

Roger Zelazny

They say his palazzo is to be a magnificent work of art-a dazzling edifice to rival the most opulent in the city. Its owner is a stranger to Florence, a wealthy foreigner who dresses in black silk and practices the age-old secrets of alchemy. But the man who calls himself Francesco Ragoczy da San Germano conceals his own dark secrets that have exiled him to a life of blood-filled torment and eternal wandering. Yet in the sensation-craving Estasia, cousin to Botticelli, San Germano has found a woman whose unquenchable passions could exceed his own. And in the fanatical monk Savonarola, he has found a powerful enemy: a dangerously obsessed ascetic who exerts a hypnotic power over the citizens of Florence. Savonarola is embarked on a reign of terror that will not end until every thing of beauty is destroyed and every heretic burned at the stake. As the city becomes a hotbed of religious fervor and escalating violence, San Germano is faced with an impossible choice that could doom those he loves forever...and transform his own existence beyond recognition. Peopled by such unforgettable real-life figures as the de Medicis and Sandro Botticelli, THE PALACE evokes Renaissance Italy in all its dangerous glory, as it weaves a darkly erotic spell of love, power, obsession and seduction that will keep you in thrall until the stunning conclusion.

Rock 'n' Roll. Hell. Two great tastes that taste great together. Long before Elvis gyrated on the Sullivan Show or the Beatles toiled the smoky red-light bars of Hamburg, music has been sowing the seeds of liberation. Or damnation. With each new generation the edge of rebellion pushed farther. Rhythms quickened. Volume increased. Lyrics coarsened. The rules continued to be broken, until it seemed that there were no rules at all. 
And as waves of teens cranked it up and poured it on, parents built walls of accusation to explain their offspring's seeming corruption. Sex and drugs, demon worship and violence are the effects. Music is the cause. Or so the self-styled guardians of morality would have us believe. 
Meet The Scream. Just your average everyday mega-cult band. Their music is otherworldly. Their words are disturbing. Their message is unholy. Their fans are legion. And they're not kidding. They're killing. Themselves. Each other. Everyone. Their gospel screams from the lips of babes. Their backbeat has a body count. And their encore is just the warm-up act to madness beyond belief. 
It emerged from a war-torn jungle, where insanity was just another word for survival. It arrived in America with an insatiable lust for power and the means to fulfill it. In the amplified roar of arena applause there beats the heart of absolute darkness.
