A THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN<\/p>\n

Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something\u2019s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn\u2019t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh\u2019s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won\u2019t earn back his investment in a decade. York\u2019s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh\u2019s concern\u2014no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York\u2019s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare\u2014and humankind\u2019s most impossible dream.<\/p>\n

YOU SANK THE WRONG BATTLESHIP<\/p>\n

During a routine naval drill at Pearl Harbor, American forces detect a ship of unknown origins that\u2019s crashed in the Pacific Ocean. Lieutenant Alex Hopper, an officer aboard the USS John Paul Jones, is ordered to investigate the ominous-looking vessel\u2014which turns out to be part of an armada of ships that are stronger and faster than any on Earth. And that\u2019s when the Navy\u2019s radar goes down. Ambushed by a ravenous enemy they cannot see, a small U.S. fleet makes their last stand on the open ocean, armed with little more than their instincts, to defend their lives\u2014and the world as we know it.<\/p>\n

Druid Atticus O\u2019Sullivan hasn\u2019t stayed alive for more than two millennia without a fair bit of Celtic cunning. So when vengeful thunder gods come Norse by Southwest looking for payback, Atticus, with a little help from the Navajo trickster god Coyote, lets them think that they\u2019ve chopped up his body in the Arizona desert.<\/p>\n

But the mischievous Coyote is not above a little sleight of paw, and Atticus soon finds that he\u2019s been duped into battling bloodthirsty desert shapeshifters called skinwalkers. Just when the Druid thinks he\u2019s got a handle on all the duplicity, betrayal comes from an unlikely source. If Atticus survives this time, he vows he won\u2019t be fooled again. Famous last words.<\/p>\n
