Temporary Monsters
by Craig Shaw GardnerFirst in a new trilogy--from the New York Times bestselling author known for his "infectiously enthusiastic storytelling" (Publishers Weekly). Much to his surprise, when Lenny Hodge answers a help wanted ad for a temp agency called Terrifitemps!, he's hired on the spot. He finds out pretty quickly, however, (the day he reports to work) that Terrifitemps! is more than simply...unusual. It might well control the universe--and it's under attack from The Forces of Evil. Lenny's first assignment is to save the world, with the help of a team that includes a morose ghost hunter, a vampire with mother issues, a psychic who's right almost fifty percent of the time, and an overly friendly pooka named Bob the Horse. It's about as far away from part-time filing as Lenny can imagine--but it just may be the job he was born to do.
Temporary Hauntings
by Craig Shaw GardnerNEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED The New York Times bestselling author whose stories are "a lot of fun" (Christopher Stasheff) is back on the job with another Temporary Magic adventure... Lenny Hodge has a gift. Everyone around him says it's an amazing gift. If only Lenny could figure out what it is. Lenny works for Terrifitemps!, a "temp agency" that specializes in employing gifted people--people capable of confronting The Forces of Evil and saving the world on a regular basis. Lenny barely survived his first mission. Now he has to join his team of supernatural sleuths for something even more dangerous: his first actual temp job. It's a job filled with peril: ghosts, vampires, werecreatures, aliens, and even a tribe of Bigfoot (Bigfeet?). And is anyone prepared for the overwhelming might of the Pooka Patrol? Lenny sure isn't... Praise for Craig Shaw Gardner and his work: "The field needs more humorists of this caliber."--Robert Asprin "Gardener skewers all the clichés of quest-fantasy with wit, style, mordant irony and great glee--this series could have been serialized in National Lampoon or filmed by one of the Pythons!"--Spider Robinson "Infectiously enthusiastic storytelling."--Publishers Weekly Craig Shaw Gardner is the author of eighteen fantasy novels with titles like A Malady of Magicks and Revenge of the Fluffy Bunnies, more than forty short stories (and two short story collections) and over a dozen novelizations and tie-in novels to such properties as Batman, Buffy, Back to the Future, and the Battlestar Galactica reboot, which suggest he can only work on projects beginning with the letter B. A native of Rochester, New York, he now lives in the greater Boston area with his wife and the two cats who run the household.

by Peter F. HamiltonLong ago, the astrophysicist Inigo began dreaming scenes from the life of the remarkable Edeard, who lived within the Void, a self-contained microuniverse at the heart of the galaxy.

But when the appearance of a Second Dreamer seems to trigger the expansion of the Void--which is devouring everything in its path--the Intersolar Commonwealth is thrown into turmoil. With time running out, the fate of humanity hinges on a handful of people: Araminta, now awakening to the unwelcome fact that she is the mysterious Second Dreamer; Inigo, whose private dreams hint at a darker truth; and Justine, whose desperate gamble places her within the Void, where the godlike Skylords hold the power to save the universe . . . or destroy it.

This guy is totally out of your league, Lassen. Then GG is gone, replaced by a little man with spectacles telling David he's got one more opportunity to connect with the love of his life. The question is... will David take the chance?

El templo a la sombra de los durazneros
by Mariela PappasUn templo embrujado. Un aprendiz de samurái y un joven noble coreano. Un amor inesperado. —¡Mortales! —exclamó, con los ojos dorados entrecerrados—. ¿Por qué cuando desean algo actúan como si no lo desearan? Japón, 1643. Al aprendiz de samurái Aori Ryotaro le asignan entretener a Park Song-Ho, el hijo de un noble coreano, durante una visita diplomática. Las personalidades de ambos muchachos chocan al instante; Ryotaro es testarudo e impulsivo, y Song-Ho, además de frío y altanero, posee una belleza andrógina que despierta la pasión tanto en hombres como mujeres cuando recita poesía o danza con su abanico. También despierta una extraña sensación nueva en Ryotaro cada vez que mira esos almendrados ojos negros. Cuando Ryotaro se entera que Song-Ho sueña con ser escritor, le ofrece una visita guiada a un viejo templo embrujado. Pero lejos de asustarse, Song-Ho se encuentra fascinado por losfantasmas que allí habitan. Y por Ryotaro. Los paseos por el bosque encantado se repiten y, a la sombra de los durazneros, Song-Ho y Ryotaro se enamoran. Sin embargo, Ryotaro está obligado, según las costumbres de los samuráis, a convertirse en el amante de su maestro, el Capitán Sakuma. Y el padre de Song-Ho ya lo ha comprometido, en contra de su voluntad, con una noble coreana. A pesar de provenir de dos culturas diferentes, los dos muchachos deben elegir el honor por encima de su amor, pero eso es imposible cuando Ryotaro y Song-Ho han encontrado, el uno en el otro, el único lugar donde pueden ser ellos mismos. Porque seguir viviendo el uno sin el otro significaría morir en vida. Existir, pero no vivir, al igual que los fantasmas que habitan en el templo a la sombra de los durazneros.
