  • Eyes like leaves

    Creator

    De Lint, Charles

    Abstract

    Magic is already fading in the Green Isles, but it's still a time when myths walk the world and the children of the ancient gods are engaged in one final confrontation. However, when legendary creatures wage war, it's the ordinary people who suffer the consequences-- unless they, themselves, can find a way to bring an end to the hostilities. The trouble is, not all of them are able to pick a side.

  • Shadows in the moonlight

    Creator

    Howard, Robert E.

    Abstract

    For a genuine Conan tale, full of barbarian craftiness, magic, fierce fighting and his berserker strength, this meets every criteria and is one of the best. Conan was raiding with the Free Companions when they were trapped and slaughtered by the merciless Shah Amurath the great Lord of Akif. Conan is one of the very few who escape by hiding in the mud of the marshes like a beast living on raw snake and muskrat. Luck, which seems to have deserted him, smiles again and allows him the chance for revenge and he eagerly seizes it, destroying his enemy with fierce strokes.

  • The Dark Side of the Sun

    Creator

    Pratchett, Terry

    Abstract

    The story is set in a portion of the galaxy populated by fifty-two different sentient species. All of these species, humanity among them, have evolved in the last five million years, and all of them have evolved in a spherical volume of space only a few dozen light-years across centred on Wolf 359. The rest of the galaxy is sterile as far as anybody can tell. Scattered irregularly across this "life-bubble" are ancient artefacts of a mysterious race called the Jokers, who became extinct long before any of the current races arose.
