The Third Kingdom (Sword of Truth, Book #13)
by Terry GoodkindTerry Goodkind returns to the lives of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell--in "The Third Kingdom," the direct sequel to his #1 "New York Times" bestseller "The Omen Machine." Richard saw the point of a sword blade sticking out from between the man's shoulder blades. He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out the opening, ready to attack. It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest. It was then, in the weak light from the fire pit off to the side, that Richard got his first good look at the killer. Three knives were buried up to their brass cross-guards in the man's chest. Only the handles were showing. Richard saw, too, the broken end of a sword blade jutting out from the center of the man's chest. The point of that same blade stuck out from the man's back. "Richard recognized the knife handles. All three were the style carried by the men of the First File. He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up into his face. That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death.
The Third Level
by Jack FinneyMost of the twelve stories in The Third Level are strange. The title story is about a man who finds the third level of a train station, which exists in 1894. A couple who could be from the future move next door to the narrator of Such Interesting Neighbors, while in Second Chance a young man's classic car whisks him back to town in the past. Most of the stories are about time travel or displacement of time, but Something in a Cloud and A Dash of Spring are romances; Of Missing Persons concerns itself with teleportation to another, better world; Cousin Lem's Wonderful Adjective Cellar is a whimsical comment on language; and Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket is a tale of terror and suspense about a man on a window ledge. Jack Finney has written each story in a way that makes the fantasies involved seem almost real. His style is leisurely yet not a word is wasted. These are bizarre and delightful stories.
