    <![CDATA[Detective Inspector Chen is the Singapore Three police department's snake agent - the detective in charge of supernatural and mystical investigations. Chen has several problems: in addition to colleagues who don't trust him and his mystical ways, a patron goddess whom he has offended and a demonic wife who's tired of staying home alone, he's been paired with one of Hell's own vice officers, Seneschal Zhu Irzh, to investigate the illegal trade in souls. Political pressures both Earthly and otherworldly seek to block their investigations at every turn. As a plot involving both Singapore Three's industrial elite and Hell's own Ministry of Epidemics is revealed, it becomes apparent that the stakes are higher than anyone had previously suspected.]]>

The boy, Precious Dragon, is being chased by Hell's most dangerous creatures and ends up being the key to unlock the mystery that is quickly spiraling out of control.

    <![CDATA[Liz Williams is one of science fiction&#8217;s boldest new writers and this novel is one of her most profound speculations on freedom, love, and human destiny. On a distant world ruled by an alien race, humanity is enslaved, having forgotten its own past and condemned to have no future--until one woman is offered a choice that could restore humanity&#8217;s freedom.<br/><br/><strong>The Poison Master<br/><br/></strong>On the planet of Latent Emanation, humans are the lowest class, at the mercy of their mysterious alien rulers, the Lords of Night. But Alivet Dee, an alchemist, can&#8217;t help but question the Lords&#8217; rule ever since her twin sister was taken to serve in their palace. Alivet saves every penny to pay her sister&#8217;s unbonding fee, but her plan is destroyed when one of her potions kills a wealthy client--and Alivet finds herself wanted for murder. Her only hope is the darkly attractive man who may have engineered her downfall but who still offers her a last chance of salvation.<br/><br/>A Poison Master from the planet Hathes, Arieth Mahedi Ghairen needs an alchemist of Alivet&#8217;s expertise to find the one drug that can take down the Lords--and free the universe from their rule. Sequestered in Ghairen&#8217;s fortress laboratory, lied to by both her new ally and his daughter&#8217;s enigmatic governess, Alivet doesn&#8217;t know whom to trust or where to turn for answers. But driven to undo her sister&#8217;s fate, Alivet races to hone her skills in time--even as time runs out.]]>

    <![CDATA[Gardner Dozois once again proves himself to be among the best editors in science fiction with <em>The Year's Best Science Fiction Sixteenth Annual Collection</em>. Whether you like your SF hard or soft, with a twist or straight, you'll find something to love in here. Dozois picked perfect 1998 stories from the likes of Greg Egan, Bruce Sterling, and Ursula K. Le Guin for celebrity sparkle, but he didn't overlook relative newcomers either. It's hard to pick favorites from such a varied and delightful bunch. Paul J. McAuley's &quot;Sea Change, with Monsters&quot; is a thriller taking place in the icy seas of Europa, where genetically engineered weapon-creatures battle humans for survival. Cory Doctorow weighs in with the funny and poignant &quot;Craphound,&quot; a tale of two secondhand junk entrepreneurs who find out that the love of good kitsch transcends all barriers. Liz Williams's &quot;Voivodoi&quot; explores one family's anguish and triumph in an Eastern Europe scarred by mutagens. And as usual, Dozois provides a stylish wrap-up of the previous year in science fiction, fantasy, and horror publishing. It speaks well for the health of the genre that Dozois picked these winners from hundreds of stellar nominees (he lists them in the back). And it's a rare treat to enjoy every single story in a collection. <em>--Therese Littleton</em><br/><br/>Comprising:<br/><br/>Oceanic by Greg Egan;<br/>Approaching Perimelasma by Geoffrey A. Landis;<br/>Craphound by Cory Doctorow;<br/>Jedella Ghost by Tanith Lee;<br/>Taklamakan by Bruce Sterling;<br/>The Island of the Immortals by Ursula K. Le Guin;<br/>Sea Change, With Monsters, by Paul J. McAuley;<br/>Divided by Infinity by Robert Charles Wilson;;<br/>Us by Howard Waldrop;<br/>The Days of Solomon Gursky by Ian McDonald;<br/>The Cuckoo's Boys by Robert Reed;<br/>The Halfway House at the Heart of Darkness by William Browning Spencer;<br/>The Very Pulse of the Machine by Michael Swanwick;<br/>Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang;<br/>Voivodoi by Liz Williams;<br/>Saddlepoint: Roughneck by Stephen Baxter;<br/>The Side of Independence by Rob Chilson;<br/>Unborn Again by Chris Lawson;<br/>Grist by Tony Daniel;<br/>La Ceerentola by Gwyneth Jones;<br/>Down in the Dark by William Barton;<br/>Free in Asveroth by Jim Grimsley;<br/>The Dancing Floor by Cherry Wilder;<br/>The Summer Isles by Ian R.

    <![CDATA[In such novels as <strong>The Poison Master</strong> and <strong>Empire of Bones</strong>, Liz Williams sparked readers&#8217; imaginations by creating worlds at once strange and familiar. Now this bold new writer delivers a profound and provocative look at human nature in a timely novel of a nation--and a world--torn asunder, and of a hope that refuses to die.<br/><br/><strong>Nine Layers of Sky<br/></strong><br/>A former Soviet rocket scientist, Elena Irinovna now cleans office buildings--until she crosses paths with Ilya Muromyets. A remnant of Russia&#8217;s glorious and fabled past, Ilya is an eight-hundred-year-old hero turned heroin addict, dreaming of a death that never comes. They are brought together by a strange artifact Elena has found, which offers a glimpse into another dimension, creating a dangerous breach in a world Elena only thought she knew...<br/> <br/>Ilya is no stranger to the unexplained. He&#8217;s been hired by a mysterious organization to track down the artifact. But nothing prepares him for what it offers--or for a woman like Elena. Fighting their own inner demons as well as those from across the breach, Ilya and Elena embark on a harrowing trip between nations and worlds. And for the first time the man of myth and the woman of science discover that they have a dream to defend--and even die for...]]>

    <![CDATA[From Liz Williams comes a bold and provocative novel of the future in which the vast Indian subcontinent, home to thousands of gods, is visited by all-powerful alien beings from a distant world of controlled, sterile perfection. But what is their purpose: to free humanity&#8211;or to enslave it? <br/><br/><strong>EMPIRE OF BONES<br/></strong><br/>Millions of years ago alien beings seeded Earth with their genetic strands to create a new outpost of intelligent life. Now their descendants have returned to Earth&#8217;s skies, drawn by their detection of a Receiver, a human with the genetic ability to tap into alien communications. It is the signal that Earth is ready to be absorbed into a vast galactic empire.<br/><br/>Jaya Nihalani has been a prophet, a crusader, and a terrorist, fighting for the rights of her despised Untouchable caste. Now she lies in an Indian hospital, dying of a hideous disease. Her head is filled with voices and visions; her body is aging rapidly, inexplicably. But the voices and visions are no disease. Jaya is the Receiver whom the aliens intend to heal, enlighten...and use.<br/><br/>Soon the subcontinent erupts in riots and chaos as powerful forces attempt to co-opt the enigmatic alien emissaries, and a shocked world awaits its fate. Jaya must somehow discover the plans of her perfect and powerful &#8220;friends.&#8221; Have they come to end human suffering, or to make it worse? Should she help them&#8211;or lead the impossible fight against them?]]>

    <![CDATA[Today, in order to honor the magnificent career of Jack Vance, one unparalleled in achievement and impact, GEORGE R.R. MARTIN and GARDNER DOZOIS, with the full cooperation of Jack Vance, his family, and his agents, suggest a Jack Vance tribute anthology called Songs of the Dying Earth, to encourage the best of today's fantasy writers to return to the unique and evocative milieu of The Dying Earth, from which they and so many others have drawn so much inspiration, to create their own brand-new adventures in the world of Jack Vance s greatest novel.<br/><br/>Half a century ago, Jack Vance created the world of the Dying Earth, and fantasy has never been the same. Now, for the first time ever, Jack has agreed to open this bizarre and darkly beautiful world to other fantasists, to play in as their very own. To say that other fantasy writers are excited by this prospect is a gross understatement; one has told us that he'd crawl through broken glass for the chance to write for the anthology, another that he'd gladly give up his right arm for the privilege that's the kind of regard in which Jack Vance and The Dying Earth are held by generations of his peers.]]>

    <![CDATA[The fate of a planet lies with an outcast woman and a mysterious visitor....<br/><br/>In this richly imagined and thought-provoking novel, Liz Williams tells the story of a world engineered to preserve the precarious balance between animal and human. To this world comes an emissary from a distant planet who will walk the razor-thin line between consciousness and instinct, freedom and conformity, life and death. <br/><br/>On Monde D'Isle a rugged people live in union with their world. They migrate with the tides of the moon, sense the meridians of the planet, and slip into a Dreamtime that grants them access to -- and escape from -- the darker urges of their animal nature.<br/><br/>Mevennen ai Mordha is out of tune with her people's &quot;bloodmind.&quot; She is protected by her devoted brother Eleres, who refuses to listen to those who say that Mevennen is not fit to live. Still, Mevennen fears that even her brother will give in to his instincts during the time of the hunt, when the Mondhaith seek out the weakest as their prey. <br/><br/>Taking her on an expedition in hope of a cure, Eleres has brought Mevennen deep into the wilderness. There they are visited by a strange woman who they are certain is a ghost, but who is really a Gaian anthropologist charged with bringing utopia to their world. She promises to heal Mevennen -- but it is a promise that comes with a terrible price....<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[In such novels as The Poison Master, Empire of Bones, and Nine Layers of Sky, Liz Williams sparked readers' imaginations by creating worlds at once strange and familiar. Now this bold new writer brings her best short fiction together in one stunning collection. The stories featured in The Banquet of the Lords of Night have appeared in Asimov's, Interzone, Realms of Fantasy, and The Third Alternative, among others.  The stories within the covers of The Banquet of the Lords of Night are varied in style and subject matter, but they are all powerfully written. From the breathtaking title story, &quot;Banquet of the Lords of Night&quot; about an Earth plunged into a world of darkness where light is against the law to the stunning &quot;The Man from the Ministry&quot; in which we learn the how far a mother will go where her family is concerned; Williams displays an astonishing breadth and variety of writing styles. Williams is equally at home writing galaxy-spanning science fiction like &quot;Quantum Anthropology&quot; as she is weaving a tale like &quot;Adventures in the Ghost Trade&quot; which incorporates demons, magic, the afterlife, and private detectives.  &quot;Williams's unique cross-genre voice is a reinvigorating one for SF, fantasy and horror.&quot; - Publishers Weekly (starred review)  Contents:      * Adventures in the Ghost Trade     * Outremer     * Skindancing     * A Child of the Dead     * The Sea of Time &amp; Space     * The Daykeeper     * Dieudamour     * Sharecropper     * Nightside     * Dog Years     * Dancing Day     * The Banquet of the Lords of Night     * Loosestrife     * Ancestors' Song     * Orchidae     * Quantum Anthropology     * The Blood Thieves     * The Man from the Ministry]]>

During her stay in the Martian city, she encounters the ghost of a warrior, who turns out to be the encoded representation of the city's bombed library. She downloads the data contained here, and the details of the weapon are among them. But Hestia Mar realises too late what she has done: by accessing the data, she has virtually guaranteed the use of the weapon against Caud by her own government. Desperate to rescue the situation she makes her way back home across the dangers of the Crater Plain.Meanwhile, in Winterstrike itself, the festival of Ombre has been taking place upon the eve of war. Shorn, a woman imprisoned by her family for accidentally consorting with a male - manages to escape. Her sister Essgui follows Shorn and sets out across the Crater Plain where she meets Hestia Mar. Their journey - to recover lost sister and missing weapon - takes them into the dangerous mountains of Mars, and the discovery of a group of outcast male creatures who hold the secrets to the Martian past, and to its future...]]>

    <![CDATA[Complete Tort Law: Text, Cases, &amp; Materials  combines extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text and practical learning features to provide a complete resource for students of tort law.<br/>  <br/> While the text covers the key historical cases, the focus overall is on recent case examples which helps to bring the subject to life and gives it contemporary relevance for modern law students. The extracts from primary materials have been carefully selected to ensure they are long enough to give sufficient detail to illustrate the point of law being discussed, but succinct enough so as not to be overwhelming and to be accessible for students who are studying the subject for the first time. The explanatory text is written in a clear and straightforward style, which clarifies the key concepts in an interesting and engaging way and allows the student to understand the fundamental points of this important area of law. <br/>  <br/> The book contains a wealth of features such as summaries, key points, hint boxes, and questions, which provide plenty of learning support for students. Key concepts are highlighted for emphasis, cross-references and comparisons are pointed out to link the various elements of tort law, and the questions encourage students to check their understanding as they learn. The two-color page design allows students to identify instantly the primary material and learning features for easy navigation throughout the text, while the further reading suggestions direct the reader towards texts and articles that are easily accessible in most libraries, to provide a practical resource for further study.  <br/>  <br/>  The online resource center also provides an extensive range of additional features designed to support the text and further support the students in their studies. <br/>  <br/>  Online Resource Centre<br/>  <br/>  Lecturer resources:<br/>  - Test bank of 200 multiple-choice questions with answers  and feedback<br/>  <br/>  Student resources:<br/>  Glossary<br/>  Case studies<br/>  Updates<br/>   Web links]]>
