Vagabonds of Gor (Gorean Saga #24)
by John NormanSwords, slaves, and spies bring a Counter-Earth to vivid life in the cult classic series that&’s &“a legend in speculative fantasy&” (Boing Boing). Cabot and his friend Marcus, of Ar&’s Station, who have been spying for Ar in the Cosian encampments, now seek the long-inert forces of Ar to report acquired intelligence to their commander, Saphronicus, who proves to be of the treasonous party of Ar. Cabot and Marcus are placed under arrest, as spies. Primary forces of Ar, largely inactive in recent months, are now to pursue Cosian forces withdrawing from Ar&’s Station, through the vast Vosk delta to the sea. The Cosian forces, however, have avoided the delta, and the delta campaign is a ruse to decimate the armed might of Ar, to use as a weapon the marshes and swamps of the delta itself, their treacherous, trackless wildernesses and wastes, the quicksand, the insects, the serpents and reptiles, the local populations, to deliver a final decisive blow to what was once the unchallenged splendor and power of Gor&’s finest infantry. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. Vagabonds of Gor is the 24th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Vamped
by David SosnowskiMartin Kowalski is an eighty-year-old man stuck in a twenty-year-old body. He works the graveyard shift. He has a poster of Bela Lugosi on his wall and a box of uneaten Count Chocula in his pantry. He drinks stem-cell-derived blood from cleverly packaged and marketed juice boxes. He is, in short, a vampire. But since his wildly successful scheme to turn as many mortals as possible into vampires -- "vamp" them rather than kill them -- resulted in a new immortal majority, Marty finds little of interest to fill his countless days. From the deeply imaginative mind of David Sosnowski -- who gave us the critically acclaimed junkie-angel classic Rapture -- bursts this neo-vampire novel studded with pint-size vampires known as "screamers" (children who were vamped and are none too happy about it); priest vampires who helped convert their flock into lifetime members of the Church; stripper vampires who lap-danced their way into customers' veins; and one very small, very outspoken human girl. When Marty decides to end his endless life of soul-crushing ennui -- call it vampire affluenza -- a three-foot blond obstacle is thrown in his path: Isuzu Trooper Cassidy, a refugee from a human hunting preserve. At first he thinks "midnight snack," but before the sun comes up, Isuzu is the one snacking on his prized cereal collection as she charms him into staying undead long enough to raise her in a world rife with danger and almost entirely populated by vampires yearning for the taste of real human blood. The critics applauded David Sosnowski when Rapture was published, saying he "staked out a patch of turf somewhere between Franz Kafka and Douglas Adams." Now with Vamped, Sosnowski takes on a time-honored genre and breathes new life into it by turning Martin Kowalski's vampire world upside down and telling his story with rich, masterful, and frequently hilarious prose.

Vampiras Lésbicas Nazistas

Nas ordens de Hitler, Heydrich é encarregado de encontrá-los e trazê-los de volta para Berlim. No entanto, enquanto despertar vampiros é uma coisa, controlá-los é outra completamente diferente, particularmente aqueles que são famintos e cheios de desejo depois de anos de sono. Afinal, jovens soldados fortes e saudáveis proporcionam melhor sustento - e diversão - do que prisioneiros desnutridos ou cidadãos desmoralizados. Muito em breve, os nazistas aprenderão exatamente quem é a verdadeira "raça suprema". E, para seu horror, descobrirão que, ao tentarem cegar a dominação, podem ter desencadeado o inferno na terra.
