Synopsis

“Readers bored with Tolkien-clone fantasies will be enthralled by the intricately detailed world and characters Anderson brings to life here.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review   The Grand Master of Science Fiction delivers “a Dark Age saga based on Old Scandinavian mythology and the exploits of the legendary Danish King Hadding . . . A brilliantly accomplished yarn” (Kirkus Reviews).   In a scheme arranged by the god Odin, Hadding is born to King Gram Skjoldung of Denmark but is sent to be raised by giants for his own safety. After his father is murdered, Hadding must claim his destiny. Prey to the follies of humans and gods, he rises to the challenges of war, fate, and love in a mythic adventure “episodic in character, gory in detail, fatalistic in atmosphere, and spiked with sinister, chthonic Norse magic” (Interzone).   “War of the Gods struck me like a hammer-bolt out of the sky.” —Black Gate  Praise for Poul Anderson   “Anderson has produced more milestones in contemporary science fiction and fantasy than any one man is entitled to.” —Stephen Donaldson   “One of science fiction’s most revered writers.” —USA Today   “The great canvas of interstellar space comes alive under Anderson’s hand as it does under no other.” —Gordon R. Dickson   “One of science fiction’s most influential and prolific writers.” —The Daily Telegraph

    Being a warlock marrying a succubus means even your
    wedding and honeymoon come with supernatural complications.
     
    This is a compilation of two full-length novellas
    featuring the same beloved characters from the main series. These stories
    follow the events of Book 5 (Woefully Willful Witch) and will be best enjoyed
    by readers already familiar with the series events and characters.
     
    Dane Staley survived demonic attacks, magical wars, and
    accidentally summoning a succubus. But can he survive introducing his
    polyamorous supernatural family to his very human parents at his wedding?
     
    In “A Wonderful Warlock Wedding,” what should be the
    happiest day of his life becomes a masterclass in family diplomacy as Dane
    tries to explain why his “friends” Cassie, Talise, and Tuesday are all living
    with him and his bride-to-be. Between Cassie’s enthusiastic oversharing, Talise’s
    protective instincts, and Tuesday’s mischievous streak, keeping their
    supernatural secret becomes nearly impossible. But love conquers all, even if a
    few antique beds don’t survive the celebration.
     
    “An Unexpectedly Hot Honeymoon” finds our newlyweds on what
    should be a simple tropical getaway. Instead, a passionate encounter in an
    ancient volcanic chamber accidentally awakens a very demanding, and very horny,
    lava elemental with specific ideas about entertainment. Now the fate of an
    entire Caribbean island depends on Dane and Maeve’s willingness to put on
    increasingly intimate performances for their supernatural audience.
     
    Wedding
    Bells and Honeymoon Tales: Two steamy standalone novellas set in the world of
    the Spicy Adventures of the Suddenly Supernatural Series.  Features supernatural multi-partner relationships, family dynamics, volcanic encounters,
    and maximum spiciness for established fans. It is for adult readers only!

    Lancelot Biggs Cooks a Pirate by Nelson S. Bond - "Cooking," explained Biggs, "is simply a matter of chemistry." But he didn't expect that he'd have to prove that statement! 
    The whole trouble started with Slops. Slops wasn't a bad cook, you understand. He just wasn't a cook at all, rightly speaking. He had what you might call a "tapioca complex." It was tapioca for breakfast, tapioca for lunch, tapioca for dinner. Every day. Boiled tapioca, stewed tapioca, even fricasseed tapioca— 
    Ugh! When you hop gravs twice a month on a lugger shuttling between Earth and Venus, you can't get by forever on a diet of ta—that stuff! 
    Anyhow, it finally got to be too much for even an iron-bellied old spacedog like Cap Hanson. So when we pulled into the Sun City airport, Cap said firmly, "You're through, Slops. And I do mean through!" And he kicked our (alleged) chef off the Saturn, along with his clothing, his back pay, his harmonica and his ta—you know what. 
    Which left us way out on the end of a limb, for it turned out that there wasn't a single spaceriding cook dry-docked in Sun City. While the Saturn was taking on its cargo for Earth, pepsin and medical supplies, mostly, with one or two holds full of mekel and clab, the Skipper did his doggonedest to scare up a grub-wrangler. But no soap. 
    An hour before we were scheduled to blast off, he ambled up to my control turret. He plumped himself into my easy chair and scratched his gray pate nervously.
