"Cogent, sharply worded...Anthony is certainly right in saying that critics have gone on dismissing him too long and too loudly." - Booklist

"A lovely, compelling fantasy - I haven't read anything as original as this for a long time. I'd say she belongs on the same shelf with Ursula LeGuin and Patricia MsKillip."

One of Crichton's best. A ton better than the movie.

"A superb novel of suspense that "bristles with danger, intrigue, and surprise." - Chicago Sun Times
"THE GUNS OF NAVARONE HAVE BEEN SILENCED.
But the heroic survivors are far from still. They are ready for action again - and headed for even more excitement in this fast-paced novel of adventure by a master storyteller.
THEIR MISSION: TO FREE AN ENTIRE PARTISAN ARMY TRAPPED IN THE RUGGED MOUNTAINS OF YUGOSLAVIA.
It begins with a parachute drop behind enemy lines and a deliberate walk into a German army camp.
Six men against the might of two armored divisions. They couldn't fight them. So they had to join them.
And then somehow destroy them!

"Now you belong to me...only me!"
Her husband spoke softly, menacingly, and Francesca quivered beneath his touch. She had been forced to marry Raoul, a man who represented everything she despised. But, unable to ignore her growing attraction for him, she soon found herself torn between a husband she loved passionately and a brother to whom she owed allegiance.
Her new home-the decadent court of the ruthless Borgias-appalled her. She clung to her husband's professed love. With him she would be safe....
How was Francesca to know she would be brutally betrayed?

Jitterbug Perfume is a crazed, jazzed-up jambalaya of gems, trifles, tidbits and practical jokes. Our language wasn't meant to do the things Robbins persuades it to, but it is the better for it. This wild comic rip through eternity and beyond shows some of the most disarming wit and original writing around. Jitterbug should make you dance - maybe not jitterbug, but shimmy at the least - with joy. --Detroit Press

I love this author & have all of her books. I have probably read all of them at least 3 times each & will continue to read them forever. The only reason I am giving it up is Because I have two copies!

A RAG AND A BONE...AND A MURDER
Not much was left of Dr. Albert Jasper. His jaw bone and a few charred bits were installed in a place of honor in an Oregon museum to create a fascinating, if macabre, exhibit. It was a fitting end for a great forensic scientist-until what was left of him disappeared. Gideon Oliver was baffled. All of his fellow forensic anthropologists at their biennial Oregon convention, bone bash, and weinie roast had an opportunity, but who had a motive? But Gideon's discovery of another skeleton in a nearby shallow grave would unearth a still deeper mystery.
Now Oliver would need his formidable knowledge of human bones-and the human heart-to piece together a tale of two killings...one committted long ago and one about to happen and cut right to the bone.

"A literary murder mystery of the highest order...The way this story unfolds and wraps itself around your innermost fears makes it a gut-clenching winner" USA Today

For nearly two hundred years, audiences the world over have thrilled to Mozart's The Magic Flute. Their love for the music has been equalled by their fascination with the strange and wonderful magic of the story of Papageno the bird-man, the darkly menacing Queen of the Night, and the love and trials of Prince Tamino and Princess Pamina as they face the great, magical tests in the Court of Wisdom. The tale has become one of the most beloved in the world of fantasy.
Now Marion Zimmer Bradley uses some of her own magic to bring the everlasting to a new and deeper life on the printed page. All that had to be crammed within the limits of the operatic stage now opens out. And now all the characters find their fuller life at last, and the great tests take on the glowing magic that could only be given by such a modern master of fantasy as Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Before "Foundation"...there was EMPIRE!
Isaac Asimov is a grand master of science fiction, and the Empire books are the spectacular prelude to his classic "Foundation" series. In this epic trilogy Asimov traces humankind's first halting steps towards civilizing the vast and treacherous emptiness of the galaxy. Pebble in the Sky is book #1
