The Hole: A Teen Fable<\/span> by John Davey<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n Like John Davey’s first novel (Blood And Souls<\/span>), The Hole<\/span> is another contemporarily set fantasy, this one written for what seem to be known in the book-trade as "Young Adults".<\/p>\n For further details, please contact JaydeDesign@CompuServe.com<\/a> or:<\/p>\n \nThe Nephyrite Press, \n The Temporal Void<\/span> by Peter F. Hamilton<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n This title is from one of the world’s bestselling science fiction novelists. The Intersolar Commonwealth is in turmoil as the Living Dream’s deadline for launching its Pilgrimage into the Void draws closer. Not only is the Ocisen Empire fleet fast approaching on a mission of genocide, but also an internecine war has broken out between the post-human factions over the destiny of humanity.Countering the various and increasingly desperate agents and factions is Paula Myo, a ruthlessly single-minded investigator, beset by foes from her distant past and colleagues of dubious allegiance…but she is fast losing a race against time.At the heart of all this is Edeard the Waterwalker, who once lived a long time ago deep inside the Void. He is the messiah of Living Dream, and visions of his life are shared by, and inspire billions of humans. It is his glorious, captivating story that is the driving force behind Living Dream’s Pilgrimage, a force that is too strong to be thwarted. As Edeard nears his final victory the true nature of the Void is finally revealed. <\/p>\n \n The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia<\/span> by Stephen J. Sansweet, Pablo Hidalgo, Bob Vitas, and Daniel Wallace<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n THE DEFINITIVE REFERENCE GUIDE TO A SPACE FANTASY PHENOMENON<\/p>\n \nThe Star Wars universe, much like our own, is constantly expanding. In the ten years since the publication of the Star Wars Encyclopedia<\/span>, a lot has happened in that galaxy far, far away: four new feature films, a host of official original novels, comics, video games, and more. Now, thirty years of information on all things Star Wars\u2013ranging from science and technology to history and geography, culture and biography to ecology and cosmology\u2013has been supplemented with an entire decade\u2019s worth of all-new material. Abundantly illustrated with full-color artwork and photos, and now in a new three-volume edition to accommodate its wealth of detailed entries, the Star Wars Encyclopedia<\/span> encompasses the full measure of George Lucas\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s just a sampling of what\u2019s inside: Scrupulously researched and written by leading authorities Stephen J. Sansweet, Pablo Hidalgo, Bob Vitas, and Daniel Wallace, this landmark work is the must-have centerpiece of every Star Wars library. <\/p>\n I received only the impressive first volume. It features beautiful full color images and well-written, interesting entries. I can only imagine the rest of the set is of similar quality.<\/span><\/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.
