Cheers to the good life
by Lorena Franco Alissa TranslationsLaura Smith, a popular and egocentric top model, dies absurdly and unexpectedly at the height of her professional career in New York. Now a spirit, she wanders the streets of the skyscraper city and meets, among others, the legendary John Lennon himself. But when she gets to heaven and meets Saint Peter, he tells her she must return, but in another body, in another life and in another place. More attached to her previous existence as a popular top model, her old mind set complicates her new life at times. With a touch of the supernatural, Laura starts to live as Marta, a supermarket clerk, who lived in a small town called Valencia de Alcántara in Spain, and who also led a life very different from that of a top model, a life that left many problems for Laura to solve. A cool, agile comedy, this romantic novel with dramatic points, full of magic and fantasy, will make you part of a very unusual story, engaging you from beginning to end. A tribute to David Safier's Cursed Karma, but with the author’s own personal twist.

A hundred years later, in an isolated artist's retreat, a Soviet film unit prepares to commemorate his journey by using a technique that will cause their chosen actor to not only play the role of the playwright, but to believe that he is Chekhov.But the situations Mikhail acts out diverge wildly from known biographical facts when Chekhov hears of an explosion in the Tunguska region of Siberia. Yet the real Tunguska explosion occurred in 1908 - so how could Chekhov have possible heard of it in 1890?

The Chernagor Pirates
by Dan ChernenkoWith the barbarous Menteshe holding the Scepter of Mercy and civil war raging in the north, Avornis is threatened on two fronts. But the longer its kings go without the Scepter of Mercy-the key to Avornis's destiny-the greater the chance that the Banished One's evil will dominate the world.
The Chernagor Pirates (The\scepter Of Mercy Ser. #2)
by Harry TurtledoveFour hundred years ago the kingdom of Avornis lost the Scepter of Mercy, long the property of its kings - and the key to its destiny. All attempts to retrieve it have failed horribly. But without it, how long can Avornis keep resisting powers greater than its own?While young King Lanius dreams of being more than a mere figurehead, his fellow sovereign, the usurper King Grus, is defending Avornis against the shadowy plots of the Banished One - the dark god cast from heaven who seeks now to dominate the mortal world.With the barbarous, nomadic Menteshe holding the Scepter of Mercy - and civil war raging among the Chernagor city-states in the north - Avornis finds itself threatened on two fronts and prevented from regaining the Scepter. But the longer the kings go without acting on their dream of retaking the Scepter of Mercy, the greater the chance the Banished One will triumph...
The Chernagor Pirates (The Scepter of Mercy #2)
by Harry TurtledoveOnly a long-lost talisman can save a besieged kingdom torn between two kings, as a malevolent god marshals his minions to attack, corrupt, and destroy Two lieges--King Lanius, who is of royal blood, and King Grus, the usurper--now share the throne of Avornis. The former wields no real power, kept impotent by the regents surrounding him. The latter mans the battle lines, determined to protect the kingdom from a fearsome, immortal god who was expelled from heaven. To the north, the city-state Chernagor is being torn asunder by a savage civil war that threatens to spill past the border at any moment. Catastrophe looms for Avornis and even two kings united may not be strong enough to save her. The kingdom's final hope lies in the recovery of the Scepter of Mercy, lost for four centuries. But the mighty talisman is in the hands of the Menteshe--barbarian nomads who are vassals of the terrible exiled god--and now that the Banished One wants to consume the entire world, they will never relinquish its power. The Scepter of Mercy, Harry Turtledove's epic fantasy trilogy, continues with The Chernagor Pirates, the second volume in an adventure that pits man against man, and man against immortal. Originally penned under the pseudonym Dan Chernenko, it is an unforgettable tale that demonstrates the unparalleled creativity and unique storytelling prowess of the Hugo Award-winning master world-builder.

Cherry Heaven
by L. J. AdlingtonKat and Tanka J. are starting over. The New Frontier is nothing like war-stricken City Five -- no battle scars, no memories of their parents. It's a perfect society, where everyone lives in harmony. Or so they say. There's me, the ghost in the glass, and there's everyone else on the warm side of the windows. If you're really quiet, you'll hear me creeping in the shadows. Someone else is starting over, too, running on a path perilously close to Kat and Tanka. Can the two girls and their friends uncover the dark secrets of the New Frontier before the unthinkable happens? The last birthday I ever had, years ago, was the one where I got shot instead of presents. I wasn't killed before and I won't get dead now. Run, run as fast as I can, can't catch me cause I got a Plan! Don't anyone get in my way.
Cherry Heaven
by L J AdlingtonIt is 10 years after the events in The Diary of Pelly D. A new life in The New Frontier overseas beckons Kat and Tanka, far from the terrible war in the cities, that took their parents. In a beautiful new home, Cherry Heaven, where people are building a young, liberal society, without focus on the genetic categorization and discrimination that led to the war. But all too soon Kat and Tanka find that Cherry Heaven carries haunting marks of the past. They cannot run from them, and must finally and turn and face them. Again, L. J Adlington weaves her narrative expertly from two voices, Kat, teenage, light, modern and knowing, the other a disturbed, fragmented narrative from another girl which peals away the surface of the New Frontier to expose a different and more disturbing truth. Exploring issues of postwar guilt and redemption, tension and reconciliation, framed in a fast-moving mystery, this has the same engrossing readability and accessibility as Pelly D.
