Sinopse

From the author of Wyrde and Wayward and Modern Magick: a collection of cosy, uplifting stories about an eccentric wizard, an irascible dragon, and the most unlikely of friendships. 
 
Welcome to the strangest place you’ve never been—and the most marvellous.
 
There’s a castle up there in the sky, held aloft by wizardry and dreams. It’s the home of the most curious court in all the land; a place of queens and princes, scholars and bards, sylphs and scullery maids—not to mention the Wizard himself.
 
Come visit. You’re as like as not to find the princess in the kitchens, spinning subtleties out of sugar. The wizard’s in his study, consulting with the spell-books, and the furniture. The king’s in the gardens with his roses; the queen is in her solar, where the plants, dream-woven, grow in every shape and colour.
 
Meet Jessamine, a small dragon with a heart the size of the castle itself. Meet Paglar the cook, Tambul, the wizard’s apprentice; the best-of-all-chairs, and the wizard’s favourite carpet. Meet the sylphs, causing havoc in the Potionery. 
 
It’s the mad Court at Castle Chansany and everyone is welcome. Tea’s served at three, and there’s a banquet after. Don’t be late!
 
Collected together for the first time, these sixteen tales of life at the curious castle explore relationships, belonging, and what it means to be human—and a little bit strange…

    The threat of nuclear war keeps Hawk Hunter in the cockpit—from the author who delivers “desperate, raw, 200-proof action” (Stephen Coonts).   In the chaos that followed the end of World War III, Major Hawk Hunter took refuge in the arms of a woman named Dominique. As he waged war against the Soviets, fighting to restore the United States, the nation’s greatest fighter pilot and the woman he loved became the most famous couple of the Free World. But Hunter’s campaign soon tore them apart, and he was forced to send her to Canada, where his enemies claimed Dominique as their own. Drugged, tortured, and imprisoned, she waits helplessly—praying for his return. After leading a daring raid to rescue his beloved, Hunter announces his retirement, declaring that only a nuclear threat could get him back into the cockpit. But such a threat is coming—in the sleek black nuclear submarines now steaming toward the eastern seaboard, whose warheads threaten everything Hunter has fought to rebuild. Skyfire is the eighth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.

    A ship full of worlds... 
    For John Bandicut, Earth is but a memory. Having saved Earth from destruction, he is exiled to the edge of the galaxy—where he finds an unimaginably vast structure, peopled by refugees from countless doomed planets. Magellan-fish. Shadow-people. He faces a world of uncertainties. 
    Bandicut and his two robots must find their own way. But they are not long alone; others share a similar fate. With newfound alien companions Ik and Li-Jared—and the beautiful humanoid woman, Antares—Bandicut becomes caught up in a struggle to save another world: Shipworld itself. 
    The foe this time is not a rogue comet but a malicious AI dubbed the boojum. From the floor of a star-spanner factory, to the galactic melting-pot cities of Shipworld, to the frightening Tree of Ice, where control of Shipworld is centered, the boojum threatens to tear Shipworld apart. And it will likely succeed, if the new band of unlikely heroes can’t find a way to stop it. 
    This second volume of The Chaos Chronicles continues the headlong tumble through the worlds of fascinating aliens and believable characters that are a hallmark of Nebula-nominated Jeffrey A. Carver, recipient of Helicon Awards' Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for science fiction writing. Narrated by the Grammy and Audie-winning Stefan Rudnicki.

    The fate of humanity remains ever uncertain, dictated by the obscure forces that have commandeered mankind's destiny for thousands of years. The plenipotentiaries of these ancient oppressors—the nine barons who have controlled America in the two hundred years since the nukecaust—are now falling prey to their own rabid desire for power. Their imposed doom is aided by a handful of intrepid men and women in a bitter fight to destroy the self-proclaimed new humans and deliver humanity from the yoke of the interminable slavery... In what was once the Pacific, the internecine baronial war rages on. Kane, Grant and Brigid wreak their own brand of destruction, inadvertently leading invading forces to the island of New Edo, a lost world that echoes the violent, honor-ruled ways of feudal Japan. Amidst this war within a war, a shocking new twist emerges in the blueprint to control the future. Kane and his companions will become victims of a mysterious power play by alien dictators unleashing their abominable plan to claim earth. (The Imperator Wars - Book #3 of 3)
