For too long, readers throughout the Federation have been exposed to The Tragedy of Khamlet, Son of the Emperor of Qo'nos, that classic work of Klingon™ literature, only through inadequate and misleading English translations. Now at last, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Klingon Language Institute, this powerful drama by the legendary Klingon playwright, Wil'yam Shex'pir, can be appreciated in the elegance and glory of its original tongue. This invaluable volume contains the complete text of the play, along with an English translation for easy consultation and comparison. In addition, an incisive introduction explains the play's crucial importance in Klingon culture, while copious notes illustrate how the debased English version diverges from the original, often distorting and even reversing the actual meaning of the verses. Khamlet, the Restored Klingon Version, is a work that belongs in the library of every human who hopes truly to understand what it means to be Klingon.

Retired (and exiled) Marine Lieutenant General Colby Edison's farm is overrun by a horde of alien plants, leafy gremlin-like creatures that begin systematically destroying first his crops and then his home. And not just his farm, but all the surrounding farms as well. The relentless plants have apparently killed his neighbors, and clearly, he and his dog Duke are next. But as a retired Marine, Colby has resources and skills not shared by other farmers on the newly terraformed agricultural world of Vasquez and soon he is bringing the fight to the invaders. Except. . . who is really invading whom? High in orbit above Vasquez, a sentient vegetable studies the planet it had seeded and sculpted centuries before, laying it out as world-sized garden. Now, returning to inspect the progress of its work, it finds its art has been tainted by the intrusion of crop grids, farm buildings, and people, all of which must be purged if the garden is to endure. When two species clash, only one will survive. Former psychology professor Lawrence M. Schoen and retired Marine Colonel Jonathan P. Brazee join forces in the SEEDS OF WAR trilogy, pitting Marine against Gardener, with the fate of all of humanity hanging in the balance. This omnibus volume has all three of the previously released books of the trilogy: Book 1: INVASION Book 2: SCORCHED EARTH Book 3: BITTER HARVEST

Pangaea Under Siege In Aristaya, the underwater turbine fields have been destroyed. In Hajawi, a military contingent follows a previously unknown tunnel on the trail of saboteurs. In Leshi, the life of a prominent statesman hangs by a thread. In Wymerin, a couple of young girls make an accusation that will shape the future of their society. An ancient race resurfaces, wreaking havoc across the face of the super-continent on which mankind has lived its entire life as a species, and the world will never be the same again. Sail the broad waters of Pangaea's Inner Sea, whisper in the shadowed alleys of her coastal states, and brave the frigid passes of her mountains, all in the company of thirteen of science fiction's brightest lights-Kirsten Beyer, Ilsa J. Bick, Michael A. Burstein, Peter David, Kevin Dilmore, Michael Jan Friedman, Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, Kelly Meding, Aaron Rosenberg, Lawrence M. Schoen, Geoffrey Thorne, and Marie Vibbert. One super-continent. Thirteen visions. A host of possibilities . . .

At least four times in Earth's history, the continents have come sliding together to form a single mass-a super-continent. Geologists have dubbed the most recent such formation Pangaea. Of course, Pangaea broke up a long time ago, and because it did, different portions of mankind developed in drastically different climes and circumstances. But what if we were living on one of the super-continents? What if all of humanity was confined to a single landmass . . . and had been so confined for all of our recorded history? To explore this different world, we've harnessed the imaginations of some of science fiction's most inventive writers-Michael A. Burstein, Adam-Troy Castro, Russ Colchamiro, Peter David, Kevin Dilmore, Michael Jan Friedman, Robert Greenberger, Glenn Hauman, Paul Kupperberg, Kelly Meding, Aaron Rosenberg, Lawrence M. Schoen, Geoffrey Thorne, and Dayton Ward. So come with us . . . and discover a world like none you've seen before. Discover Pangaea.

"Someone has been gathering up the scattered pieces of an ancient tome of magic. If the Codex is assembled, it will unleash the power to summon daemons."--From back cover.

HELLHOUNDS, THE ANTHOLOGY: meet a variety of pickpockets, ghost hunters, and robots hellbent on murder. They hail from Outer Space, Heaven, Hell, Earth, and the inside of a taxidermied dog. There are guest appearances by the Hackney Hellhounds of London, Ralphie Boy of Iwo Jima, and Sherlock Hound of the Yorkshire Dales. Rebels spin their shaggy dog tales, the Greek gods wreak havoc, and a little dog waits the other side of the veil, loyal to the end. We have fantasy, horror, sci-fi, romance, and much more. But--as with HELLCATS, THE ANTHOLOGY--what all these stories have in common is heart. The good guy wins, the bad guy is punished, the best dog gets a bone. Heart. Because HELLHOUNDS, THE ANTHOLOGY is such a brilliant mash-up of styles we've added blurbs before each story so you can choose what you'd like to read. Not every story is for everyone, but I warrant you'll find more than one tale that tickles your funny bone, or scratches an itch you didn't know you had, in here. Revenge, reckoning, and redemption: HELLHOUNDS, THE ANTHOLOGY has it all.
