Tattoo<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n Her fate is in her flesh.<\/p>\n In an environmentally fragile world where human and animal genes combine, the rarest mutation of all–the Trader–can instantly switch genders. One such Trader–female Sorykah–is battling her male alter, Soryk, for dominance and the right to live a full life.<\/p>\n Sorykah has rescued her infant twins from mad Matuk the Collector. Her children are safe. Her journey, she believes, is over, but Matuk’s death has unleashed darker, more evil forces. Those forces–led by the Collector’s son–cast nets that stretch from the glittering capital of Neubonne to the murky depths below the frozen Sigue, where the ink of octameroons is harvested to make addictive, aphrodisiac tattoos. Bitter enemies trapped within a single skin, Sorykah and Soryk are soon drawn into a sinister web of death and deceit.<\/p>\n \n Dragon’s Time: Dragonriders of Pern<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n For the first time in more than three years, bestselling authors Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey, mother and son, have teamed up again to do what they do best: add a fresh chapter to the most beloved science fiction series of all time, the Dragonriders of Pern.<\/p>\n Even though Lorana cured the plague that was killing the dragons of Pern, sacrificing her queen dragon in the process, the effects of the disease were so devastating that there are no longer enough dragons available to fight the fall of deadly Thread. And as the situation grows more dire, a pregnant Lorana decides that she must take drastic steps in the quest for help.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, back at Telgar Weyr, Weyrwoman Fiona, herself pregnant, and the harper Kindan must somehow keep morale from fading altogether in the face of the steadily mounting losses of dragons and their riders. But time weighs heavily against them\u2014until Lorana finds a way to use time itself in their favor.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a plan fraught with risk, however. For attempting time travel means tampering with the natural laws of the universe, which could drastically alter history\u2014and destiny\u2014forever. Or so it has always been thought. But Lorana discovers that if the laws of time can\u2019t be broken without consequences, it may still be possible to bend them. To ensure the future of Pern, she\u2019s willing to take the fateful chance\u2014even if it demands another, even greater, sacrifice.<\/p>\n \n Hounded: The Iron Druid Chronicles<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n Atticus O\u2019Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old\u2014when in actuality, he\u2019s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he\u2019s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power\u2014plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish\u2014to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived at the Geek Compound.
