Once Nifft and Barnar were hired by the ghost of a dead woman to kidnap the man who betrayed her and drag him down to hell to join her. A simple task- or so they thought at first. Another time, the pair lucked into an even more lucrative proposition, when they were shipwrecked on the way to work in Costard's sap mine- very dangerous and sometimes nauseating work far below ground- and were hired by Bunt to bring back twenty gills of the ichor exuded only by the monstrous insectile queen. It seemed like easy money- they wouldn't have to go to hell! Of course, the best laid plans sometimes do go astray, but this time they were sure they would make a killing.

The Inconceivable Idea of the Sun
by Anil Menon'It was customary, it seems, for an author to begin with excuses, explanations and snivels about their work. Which is quite peculiar since the author is usually the last person to know what their book is about...'Right from the wickedly funny table of contents, which belongs not to this collection but an imagined one, this remarkable genre-defying volume is guaranteed to delight the reader in the mood for something original and different. In the title story, 'The Inconceivable Idea of the Sun', a couple finds that reorganizing their home library has an unexpected consequence on their shared reality; 'The Robots of Eden' is set in a world where stories are no longer essential to be human, because civilized people have developed better technology to mediate their emotions; in 'Into the Night', an old Brahmin leans into the comforts of an ancient language when the future renders him obsolete; and 'How Not to Tell The Ramayana' is a Borgesian journey into a Ramayana retelling unlike any other.This stellar collection of short fiction, as poignant as it is playful, blurs the distinction between what lies inside a story and what lies outside it. It demonstrates yet again why Anil Menon is one of the most formidable names in contemporary Indian writing.
Inconstant Moon
by Larry NivenI was watching the news when the change came, like a flicker of motion at the corner of my eye. I turned towards the balcony window. Whatever it was, I was too late to catch it.The moon was very bright tonight. I saw that, and smiled, and turned back. Johnny Carson was just starting his monologue.
Inconstant Star
by Poul AndersonThe Man-Kzin Wars series created by Larry Niven allowed many other authors to write stories placed during the early period of the "known universe." This novel was created by combining two such stories which take place near the Wunderland colony at Alpha Centauri shortly after the human-kzinti war ended. The story in this particular book is of the only privately owned hyperdrive spaceship, Rover, her captain and crew, and their encounters and triumphs over the kzinti.
The Incorporated Knight
by L. Sprague deCamp Catherine Crook deCampIt's never easy being a knight, especially for a practical Eudoric Dambertson, whose mind and temperature are better suited to trade than to the highly impractical demands of chivalry. Take the simple matter of courting a wife. To please his potential father-in-law, the enchanter Baldonius, the young man must bring back two square yards of dragon hide. Only then can he earn his knightly spurs and the hand of the beauteous Lusina. But battles with dragons always seem to go better in the ballads.
Incorruptible (The Push Chronicles)
by J. B. GarnerThree months ago, the Whiteout changed the nature of reality across the globe, spawning superhuman beings, both good and evil. Each day since then, Irene Roman, armed only with a strange immunity from the powers of the “Pushed,” has donned the guise of Indomitable to try to reverse that change and protect normal people from the worst excesses of the Pushed. She never wanted to be a hero, but she had no choice in the matter. Unfortunately, Irene is still only mortal. Her never-ending duties have driven her to a breaking point. Now, what began as a simple kidnapping investigation changes overnight into the worst threat the city of Atlanta has faced. An unholy plague, old enemies, and new challenges all collide, landing squarely on Indomitable’s shoulders, despite the help of her small cadre of allies. How great a burden can any one person carry, and how much strain can she take? Will Irene crumble, or will she prove to be indefatigable?
The Incorruptibles
by John Hornor JacobsIn the contested and unexplored territories at the edge of the Empire, a boat is making its laborious way up stream. Riding along the banks are the mercenaries hired to protect it - from raiders, bandits and, most of all, the stretchers, elf-like natives who kill any intruders into their territory. The mercenaries know this is dangerous, deadly work. But it is what they do. In the boat the drunk governor of the territories and his sons and daughters make merry. They believe that their status makes them untouchable. They are wrong. And with them is a mysterious, beautiful young woman, who is the key to peace between warring nations and survival for the Empire. When a callow mercenary saves the life of the Governor on an ill-fated hunting party, the two groups are thrown together. For Fisk and Shoe - two tough, honourable mercenaries surrounded by corruption, who know they can always and only rely on each other - their young companion appears to be playing with fire. The nobles have the power, and crossing them is always risky. And although love is a wonderful thing, sometimes the best decision is to walk away. Because no matter how untouchable or deadly you may be, the stretchers have other plans.
