<\/p>\nLet\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The White Road<\/span><\/a> by Lynn Flewelling<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n Dissolute nobles, master spies, and the unlikeliest of heroes, Alec and Seregil have survived exile, treachery, and black magic. But the road that lies ahead is the most hazardous they\u2019ve ever traveled. For with enemies on all sides, they must walk a narrow path between good and evil where one misstep might be their last.<\/p>\n Having escaped death and slavery in Plenimar, Alec and Seregil want nothing more than to go back to their nightrunning life in Rh\u00edminee. Instead they find themselves saddled with Sebrahn, a strange, alchemically created creature\u2014the prophesied \u201cchild of no woman.\u201d Its moon-white skin and frightening powers make Sebrahn a danger to all whom Alec and Seregil come into contact with, leaving them no choice but to learn more about Sebrahn\u2019s true nature. <\/p>\n With the help of trusted friends and Seregil\u2019s clan, the duo set out to discover the truth about this living homunculus\u2014a journey that can lead only to danger or death. For Seregil\u2019s old nemesis Ulan \u00ed Sathil of Vir\u00e8sse and Alec\u2019s own long-lost kin are after them, intent on possessing both Alec and Sebrahn. On the run and hunted, Alec and his comrades must fight against time to accomplish their most personal mission ever.<\/p>\n \n Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi Omen<\/span><\/a> by Christie Golden<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n The Jedi Order is in crisis. The late Jacen Solo\u2019s shocking transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has cast a damning pall over those who wield the Force for good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine the Order\u2019s influence within the Galactic Alliance. <\/p>\n Forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is on a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind Jacen\u2019s fall to the dark side\u2013and to learn what\u2019s turning peaceful Jedi into raving lunatics. But finding answers will mean venturing into the mind-bending space of the Kathol Rift and bargaining with an alien species as likely to destroy outsiders as deal with them. Still, there is no other choice and no time to lose, as the catastrophic events on Coruscant continue to escalate. Stricken by the same violent dementia that infected her brother, Valin, Jedi Knight Jysella Horn faces an equally grim fate after her capture by Natasi Daala\u2019s police. And when Han and Leia Solo narrowly foil another deranged Jedi bent on deadly destruction, even acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner appears willing to bow to Daala\u2019s iron will\u2013at the expense of the Jedi Order.<\/p>\n But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.<\/p>\n \n Unholy Ghosts<\/span><\/a> by Stacia Kane<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen, and the living are under attack. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased. Enter Chess Putnam, a fully tattooed witch and freewheeling ghost hunter. She\u2019s got a real talent for banishing the wicked dead. But Chess is keeping a dark secret: She owes a lot of money to a murderous drug lord named Bump, who wants immediate payback in the form of a dangerous job that involves black magic, human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature, and enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of souls. Toss in lust for a rival gang leader and a dangerous attraction to Bump\u2019s ruthless enforcer, and Chess begins to wonder if the rush is really worth it. Hell, yeah.<\/p>\n \nPart I<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound.
