Treasure of Gor (Gorean Saga #38)
by John NormanA brilliant woman&’s dangerous discovery on Earth leads to her enslavement on the planet Gor in this long-running sci-fi fantasy series. In a remote corner of the American southwest, there is a small, private observatory. To most of the staff, it is just another stargazing facility. But a select few know its true function as a liaison point between two alien worlds: the decimated planet of the warlike Kurii, and the planet Gor, which the Kurii now covet. When the young scientist Agnes Morrison Atherton comes across an unintelligible file containing mysterious coordinates, she decides to decode them—and discovers two large, spherical, seemingly artificial objects in the asteroid belt. But it seems that Atherton&’s remarkable discovery is less than welcome. Abducted and drugged, she awakens to find herself on the planet Gor—being sold as a Gorean slave girl.
Treasure of Green Knowe
by L. M. BostonIn this sequel to The Children of Green Knowe, nine-year-old Tolly returns to spend another vacation with his great-grandmother. This time she tells him stories about Susan, a blind girl who grew up at Green Knowe some 150 years before. Susan's mother, grandmother, and older brother treat her with a suffocating blend of pity, contempt, and overprotectiveness. Her father, however, has faith in her abilities and is determined to give her opportunities to learn and grow. On a voyage to Barbadoes he buys a lively young slave boy, Jacob, to be Susan's companion. Both children are mischievous and adventurous, and Susan blossoms as their friendship develops. This book was originally published in 1958. For its time it provides a remarkably realistic and sensitive portrait of a blind child living in the days before Braille, mlbility, or schools for the blind.

Flush from their narrow victory over the horrific Vlagh, Longbow and his companions are drawn to this pastoral territory in south Dhrall, confident that they will thwart the next assault by their inhuman foe. But on the border of the desolate Wasteland, the Vlagh is breeding a monstrous new army of venomous bat-bugs and armored spiders. These giant, grotesque legions threaten to overwhelm the allies, who are further shocked by a prophecy delivered by the Dreamers: an invasion by a new, second army. Seduced by the prospect of limitless gold and pagans ripe for enslavement, a corrupt former priest, Jalkan, will betray his allies. Conspiring to plunder this unspoiled land, Jalkan raises a force of armed acolytes and declares a global holy war. Caught up in the clash of these vast powers, neither Longbow and his allies nor Jalkan and his troops grasp the new danger among them. A mysterious entity - neither god nor mortal - has begun to meddle with the minds of both the locals and the invaders, spinning a web of intrigue that entraps all in its path.

Trece monos
by César MallorquíLa esperada vuelta a la literatura para adultos de un gran clásico de la ciencia ficción y la fantasía. Cargado de una ironía que se revela ya desde su título, Trece monos es un compendio de los mejores nuevos relatos de César Mallorquí, un autor al que se espera con entusiasmo desde la sonada publicación en los años 90 de El círculo de Jericó, para muchos el mejor libro de narrativa breve de ciencia ficción jamás publicado por un autor español. Además de un espectacular retorno al género tras dos décadas de éxito en la literatura juvenil, la antología supone una oportunidad única de disfrutar de las mejores piezas de Mallorquí, entre las que se incluyen cuentos inéditos y otros premiados y aparecidos en diversas publicaciones, tanto españolas como extranjeras. En Trece monos, Mallorquí añade a su ilustrado sentido de la irreverencia una dura mirada a la condición humana, reflexionando con humor y lucidez, aveces entre carcajadas, sobre la decadencia, la muerte o la falta de valores. Gaudí resucitado virtualmente, el señor Scrooge vendiendo juguetes sexuales en Navidad, Dios con el rostro de Hugh Laurie... Pero también la humanidad del siglo XXIII, el secreto de la longevidad, una partida de ajedrez milenaria, un cartógrafo regalando una isla a su amada... Y unos extraños monos que escriben novelas. He aquí al mejor Mallorquí, al más maduro y al más vitriólico, al rey de la ciencia ficción de calidad.

The Tree
by Na'Amen Gobert TilahunThe sequel to The Root, a compelling urban fantasy series set between modern-day San Francisco and an alternate dimension filled with gods and worlds of dark magic. In Corpiliu, an alternate dimension to our own, a darkness grows, devouring whole cities as it spreads. Robbed of her greatest power, separated from her siblings and thrown among people she does not trust, Lil, a ’dant from the city Zebub, must find a way to turn everything around, to trust in a power she knows nothing about. Erik travels from San Francisco to Zebub, haunted by the ghost of his ex, still coming to terms with his true identity as a descendant of the gods, and unsure how to fight what seems to have no weakness. Pushing back against taboos meant to keep the true history of Corpiliu secret, he gains many enemies and few allies, and strange visions will make him question his own sanity. Between Earth and Corpiliu, a war is developing on two fronts, one that might well mean the end of both dimensions. In The Tree, the dynamic follow-up to the exciting fantasy debut The Root, long-held secrets will be revealed, and long-trusted loyalties will be put to the test.
A Tree Accurst
by Daniel W. PattersonOn a wintry night in 1831, a man named Charlie Silver was murdered with an axe and his body burned in a cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. His young wife, Frankie Silver, was tried and hanged for the crime. In later years people claimed that a tree growing near the ruins of the old cabin was cursed--that anyone who climbed into it would be unable to get out. Daniel Patterson uses this "accurst" tree as a metaphor for the grip the story of the murder has had on the imaginations of the local community, the wider world, and the noted Appalachian traditional singer and storyteller Bobby McMillon.For nearly 170 years, the memory of Frankie Silver has been kept alive by a ballad and local legends and by the news accounts, fiction, plays, and other works they inspired. Weaving Bobby McMillon's personal story--how and why he became a taleteller and what this story means to him--into an investigation of the Silver murder, Patterson explores the genesis and uses of folklore and the interplay between folklore, social and personal history, law, and narrative as people and communities try to understand human character and fate.Bobby McMillon is a furniture and hospital worker in Lenoir, North Carolina, with deep roots in Appalachia and a lifelong passion for learning and performing traditional songs and tales. He has received a North Carolina Folk Heritage Award from the state's Arts Council and also the North Carolina Folklore Society's Brown-Hudson Folklore Award.
Tree Dreams: A Novel
by Kristin KayeWhen seventeen-year-old Jade Reynolds witnesses a violent clash between a protesting tree sitter and a local logger, she runs as far as she can from the battles that plague her home and from the mysteries of the redwood forest. But the ancient redwoods are embedded in her psyche—she feels their call even in the dark and forgotten back alleys of Portland, Oregon where she&’s hiding out. She soon becomes entangled with a lovable misfit and a band of radical slackers, environmentalists, and anarchists, and finds herself living 100 feet high in the canopy of a redwood grove, trying to decide whose side she&’s on: the logging community she&’s known her entire life or the environmentalists who are risking their lives for the future of the forest. To find a way beyond the division between Us and Them, Jade turns to the ancient trees themselves—and the thread-thin web that connects us all. Tree Dreams is an eco-literary, coming of age novel relevant for teenagers and adults alike, for this rite of passage asks the same of us all—whatever our age or life stage, we each must discover our one true voice, and learn how to offer it to the world.
