Two Hawks From Earth
by Philip Jose FarmerFarmer writes: This novel was first published in 1966 and then in 1971 as The Gate of Time. That was not my title. I have no idea why the editors changed it, since this is not a time-travel tale, and their tale certainly was misleading. So I have restored the original, Two Hawks From Earth. The editors of that house also rewrote a scene to bowdlerize it. This was done without my knowledge, and so I have restored that scene. Also, I have added about ten thousand words. These include some chapters which go beyond the original ending.

The Sky Is Falling (Destroyer, #63)
by Warren Murphy Richard SapirTHE MURDEROUS MONEY MACHINE. It was hotter than sex. It packed a bigger punch than the H-bomb. And best of all, it was worth a sky-high pile of blue chips for the company that could make and market the machine that could tap the full energy of the sun. Chemical Concepts was the lucky firm, and its gorgeous VP Kathleen O'Donnell wasn't going to let a few glitches like maybe burning the earth to cinders or sparking a thermonuclear war keep her from milking the machine for all the billions of bucks she thought it was worth. Only Remo and Chiun could stop this sexplosive lady executive from making the ultimate corporate killing-unless the dynamite O'Donnell used the burning power of the sun and the heavenly heat of her body to stop them first. ...
The Weathermakers
by Ben Bova"Take the energy of a full-fledged storm and compress it into a narrow funnel so that its wind speed reaches five hundred knots, causing a semi-vacuum inside its rotary structure. Such winds hit a wall with a force of a thousand pounds per square foot. And the vacuum immediately behind the wind makes the normal air pressure in a building explode the walls outside. Such a funnel makes a fine weapon, especially in a crowded city. It is called a tornado." From THE WEATHERMAKERS

Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve are approaching Tar Valon, where Mat will be Healed--if he lives until they arrive. But who will tell the Amyrlin their news-that the Black Ajah, long thought only a hideous rumor, is all too real? They cannot know that in Tar Valon far worse awaits... Ahead, for all of them, in the Heart of the Stone, lies the next great test of the Dragon Reborn. ...
Ptolemy's Gate (Bartimaeus #3)
by Jonathan StroudThree years have passed since the magician Nathaniel helped prevent a cataclysmic attack on London. Now an important member of the British government, he grapples with numerous problems: foreign wars are going badly, Britain's enemies are mounting attacks close to London, and rebellion is growing among the commoners. Increasingly imperious and distracted, Nathaniel is treating Bartimaeus worse than ever.

Meanwhile, undercover in London, Nathaniel's longtime rival Kitty has been stealthily completing her research on magic, demons, and Bartimaeus's past. She has a daring plan that she hopes will break the endless cycle of conflict between djinn and humans. But will anyone listen to what she has to say? In this glorious conclusion to the Bartimaeus Trilogy, the destinies of Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty converge once more. For the first time, we will learn the secrets of Bartimaeus's past, and catch a glimpse into the mysterious Other Place-the world of demons-as together, the threesome faces treacherous magicians, a complex conspiracy, and a rebellious faction of demons.

Bed-Knob and Broomstick
by Mary Norton"Once upon a time there were three children, and their names were Carey, Charles, and Paul. Carey was about your age, Charles a little younger, and Paul was only six. One summer, they were sent to Bedfordshire to stay with an aunt. She was an old aunt and she lived in an old square house--which lay in a garden where no flowers grew. There were lawns and shrubs and cedars but no flowers, which made the garden seem grave and sad. The children were shy of the house, with its big hall and wide stairways; they were shy of Elizabeth--the stern old housemaid--and they were shy of their aunt, too, because she had pale blue eyes with pinkish edges and did not often smile. But they loved the garden and river that ran through it and the countryside beyond with its tangled hedges and sweet meadow grass. They were out all day. They played in the barns, they played by the river, and they played in the lanes and on the hills. They were punctual for meals because they were visitors and good children at heart. One day slipped into another, and all the days were alike--until Miss Price hurt her ankle. And ..."
