Sinossi

“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

    Betrayal! 
    The mole has shown their true colors. An act of sabotage has produced dire consequences for Marshal Onima Gwok, Deputy Marshal Kara Martinez, and infantry clone Jace Rojas. 
    But the investigation into the vast conspiracy to use clones to topple the Confederation is far from complete. Adding a new and skilled replacement for the traitor, the team continues to bring together the disparate pieces of the puzzle. But Onima paid for her trust before – can she, and the team, trust again? 
    There are other dangers lurking in the shadows. Insidious forces will stop at nothing to bring their plan to fruition – and conspirators remain inside the CBI, the monopolistic business entity that is Gray and Chuang, and possibly the Confederation itself. 
    Traveling across space from colony to colony, the team is leaving no clue uninvestigated. The conspiracy is unraveling – but the clock is ticking. Can they pull all the loose threads before it’s too late?

    A sleepy little town discovers its memories have become part of the water cycle in Naomi Salman's debut novella, Nothing but the Rain. 
     
     
     
    The rain in Aloisville is never-ending, and no one can remember when it started. There's not much they can remember. With every drop that hits their skin, a bit of memory is washed away. Stay too long in the wet, and you'll lose everything you used to be. 
     
     
     
    By the time Laverne begins keeping a journal, the small town she calls home has been irreparably changed. Every drop of water is dangerous, from leaky faucets to the near-constant rainfall, and a careless trip outside can mean a life down the drain. With mysterious forces preventing escape, calls for rebellion seem to be on every resident's lips. But Laverne has no interest in fighting. She has no interest in rebellion. She just wants to survive.

    In this sequel to One Second Per Second, the saga continues of a broken universe where time travel is easier to achieve than to avoid. Now, the battle lines are drawn. To some, the continual rewriting of history is nihilistic insanity. To others, travel in all four dimensions—including time—is an inalienable right bestowed on humankind by the new natural order. Forces are amassing on either side of the conflict as the collapse of time itself is imminent. Surprisingly, not everyone is allowing this to bother them.
