Dan WellsI Am NOt A SerIAl KIller

Fear the darkness within….

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it.

He’s spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential.

He’s obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn’t want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he’s written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation.

Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don’t demand or expect the empathy he’s unable to offer. Perhaps that’s what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there’s something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat—and to appreciate what that difference means.

Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can’t control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.

Key Points• National print advertising in USA Today, reaching over five million readers.• This is the author’s debut novel.• A fast suspenseful read featuring a creepily appealing protagonist—easily

compared to Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter.• This is the first of three books featuring the protagonist.

Whitley striebermAJeStIC

the story of our own humanity, our rise, our fall, and our spectacular refusal to acknowledge that which we do not understand

On July 2, 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. An explosion of light and sound made the sheep wail, the chickens

squawk, and the children scream. And then the ranchers heard a noise they thought could only have come from the devil himself.

For forty years, Majestic Agency director Wilfred Stone helped the CIA pretend the landing never happened. Then his conscience got the better of him.

This is the real story, told to reporter Nicholas A. Duke by the guilt-racked shell of the man who once worked tirelessly to cover it all up. It is a truth so terrifying that Whitley Strieber had to call it fiction.

Key Points• Though fiction, Majestic is a startling narrative of what might have happened at

Roswell, and what was covered up.• Strieber is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Communion.• Strieber’s novel The Grays is in development to become a major motion picture.

His book The Coming Global Superstorm was the basis for the film The Day After Tomorrow.

• He is the author of over twenty novels and works of nonfiction.• www.unknowncountry.com

Praise for mAjeStIc“Majestic is engaging as science fiction, unnerving as possible fact.” —The new YorK Times

“Combining meticulous research, vivid characters, an engrossing mystery and convincing documentation, Strieber has come up with an intriguing, intelligent, exciting novel.” —The washingTon PosT

George r. r. Martin and Gardner Dozois, editorsWArrIOrS 3

A major collection of never-before-published tales of war and warriors from some of today’s most popular writers

Many of these writers are bestsellers. All of them are storytellers of the highest quality. Together they make a volume of unforgettable reading.

“People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories. Since Homer first sang the wrath of Achilles and the ancient Sumerians set down their tales of Gilgamesh, warriors, soldiers, and fighters have fascinated us; they are a part of every culture, every literary tradition, every genre. All Quiet on the Western Front, From Here to Eternity, and The Red Badge of Courage have become part of our literary canon, taught in classrooms all around the country and the world. Our contributors make up an all-star lineup of award- winning and bestselling writers, representing a dozen different publishers and as many genres. We asked each of them for the same thing—a story about a warrior. Some chose to write in the genre they’re best known for. Some decided to try something different. You will find warriors of every shape, size, and color in these pages, warriors from every epoch of human history, from yesterday and today and tomorrow, and from worlds that never were. Some of the stories will make you sad, some will make you laugh, and many will keep you on the edge of your seat.” — From George R. R. Martin’s Introduction to Warriors

Ken scholesANtIpHON

“Abounding in prophecy, myth and mystery, this grand-scale saga is a towering storytelling tour de force.”

—PUBLiSHERS WEEkLY, STARReD ReVIeW ON CANTiCLE

Nothing is as it seems.

The ancient past is not dead. The hand of the Wizard Kings still reaches out to challenge the Androfrancine Order, to control the magick and technology that they sought to claim for their own.

Nebios, the boy who watched the destruction of the city of Windwir, now runs the vast deserts of the world, far from his beloved Marsh Queen. He is being hunted by strange women warriors, while his dreams are invaded by warnings from his dead father.

Jin Li Tam, queen of the Ninefold Forest, guards her son against both murderous threats and the usurper queen and her evangelists. They bring a message: Jakob is the child of promise of their Gospel, and the Crimson empress is on her way.

And in hidden places, the remnants of the Androfrancine Order formulate their response to the song pouring out of a silver crescent that was found in the wastes.

Key Points• National print advertising in SF and fantasy publications, including Locus.• This is the third book of five in Scholes’s blockbuster fantasy series. The first,

Lamentation, was selected as a Top Pick in RT Book Reviews.• The second of the series, Canticle, received starred reviews from

Publishers Weekly and kirkus Reviews.• The series includes complex characters and powerful interactions, excellent

world-building, physical battles, intrigue, and a fast-paced plot.• The series will appeal to both male and female readers.• Scholes is a Writers of the Future contest winner, and his short fiction has

been appearing in various magazines and anthologies for the last eight years, including Realms of Fantasy, Polyphony 6, and Weird Tales.

• Ken Scholes is an extremely promotable author—excellent with groups and very entertaining in person.

Praise for Ken schoLes“the sequel to Scholes’s stellar debut, 2008’s Lamentation, ingeniously fuses epic fantasy and postapocalyptic science fiction…. Abounding in prophecy, myth and mystery, this grand-scale saga is a towering storytelling tour de force.” —Publishers weeKlY, sTarred review on CanTiCle

“Not only is Scholes a capable world-builder, he ably handles the tough task of keeping the series momentum going, intensifying the mystery so deftly that even if readers can’t foresee where the story’s going, it’s clear that the author knows exactly what he’s doing. When does book three come out, already?” —KirKus reviews, sTarred review on CanTiCle

“All the ingredients of a first-rate epic—magic, arcane science, and a handful of compelling protagonists. By the end of the novel, the reader is caring deeply about the characters and looking forward with burning anticipation to the sequels.” —booKlisT, sTarred review on lamenTaTion

“I wish my first novel had been this good. I wish all five volumes of this series were already published so I could read them now.” —orson scoTT card on lamenTaTion

blake charltonSpellWrIgHt

the exciting, original debut of a major new epic fantasy author

Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text…but he cannot spell anything

correctly, and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation.

Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard. When a powerful, ancient demon begins a campaign of murder and disruption, Nicodemus starts to have disturbing dreams that lead him to believe that his misspelling could be the result of a curse. But before he can discover the truth about himself, he is attacked by evil that has already claimed the lives of fellow wizards and has cast suspicion on his mentor. He must flee for his own life if he’s to find the true villain.

But more is at stake than his abilities. For the evil that has awakened is a power so dreadful and vast that if unleashed it will destroy Nicodemus...and the world.

Key Points• Tie-in with Charlton’s next hardcover, Spellbound (978-0-7653-1728-5, 9/11).• A fresh, suspenseful coming-of-age story with magic.• This is the first volume of the Spellwright trilogy• The magic system is highly visual: the spells must literally be spelled to be cast.• Nicodemus is an engaging protagonist and his dyslexia is a unique flaw.• Features very strong female characters.• The Spellwright trilogy has been sold to HarperCollins UK.

Praise for SpellwrIght“ Blake Charlton has not only invented a fascinating world and peopled it with realistic people and wonderful, grisly monsters, but he has created one of the few truly original magical systems we’ve seen in fantasy fiction. the lucid complexity of the magic reminds me of Jack Vance, which is high praise indeed. I’m fascinated to see what happens next and will be following every word with the absorption of an apprentice spellwright. You will be, too.” —Tad williams, besTselling auThor oF shaDowmarCh

“Nicodemus Weal is a protagonist that all of us can identify with. Spellwright features a unique system of magic and characters that are genuine inhabitants of that world. Spellwright is a letter-perfect story. An absorbing read, and recommended.” —robin hobb, besTselling auThor oF The Farseer series

“ A clever conceit well executed adds a flair of originality to this wizard-in-training fantasy. A disabled spellcaster who can’t spell—in both senses of the word! Fast-paced and well-written, Spellwright is an enjoyable read.” —Kevin J. anderson, new YorK Times besTselling auThor

eternity is a long time to be watching over your shoulder....

The Tide is turning, and the Immortals who have walked the world for eons are once again coming into their powers and stepping from obscure bolt-holes

to take control.

The very mortal lady Arkady knows of their plans and holds out little hope of being able to stop them. Branded and sold into slavery, Arkady fears all she knows and loves is lost—her husband, Stellan, is probably dead, hanged by the Immortal Jaxyn. Declan Hawkes, the King of Glaeba’s Spymaster and Arkady’s childhood friend—perhaps the only other human she knew who might risk everything to save her—doesn’t even know she’s in danger. She will turn to her new owner for help... but learning the truth about him may cost them both their lives.

And Stellan? He isn’t dead. Jaxyn’s plans hit a snag when he realizes that Stellan, the one man who can challenge him for the Glaeban throne, has sought asylum in neighboring Caelum. The empress of the Five Realms (a Tide Lord in hiding no more) and the Tide Lords, Tryan and elyssa, seem to be on Stellan’s side....

Key Points• This is the third book in the Tide Lords series, after The Gods of Amyrantha. • Can be read as a stand-alone.• This epic fantasy is a strong love story with romance crossover potential.• Medalon hit the bestseller list the first week it was released, and was short-listed

for the 2000 Aurealis Awards as Best Fantasy. Medalon and Treason keep were both Featured Alternate Selections of the Science Fiction Book Club.

L. e. Modesitt, Jr.empreSS OF eterNItY

A new SF novel from the bestselling author of the recluce series

In the far future, an indestructible and massive canal more than 2,000 miles long spans the mid-continent of earth. Nothing can mar it, move it, or affect it in any

fashion. At its western end, where it meets the sea, is an equally indestructible structure comprising three levels of seemingly empty chambers. Scientists from three different civilizations, separated in time by hundreds of thousands of years, are inves-tigating the canal. In the most distant of these civilizations, religious rebellion is brewing. A plot is hatched to overthrow the world government of the Vanir, using a weapon that can destroy anything—except the canal. If used at full power it might literally unravel the universe and destroy all life forever. The lives and fates of all three civilizations become intertwined as the forces behind the canal react to the threat, and all three teams of scientists find their lives changed beyond belief.

Key Points• National print advertising in SF and fantasy publications, including Locus.• This book is a stand-alone, and will have strong appeal among hard SF

and military SF readers.• elements of romance in this novel should appeal to Modesitt’s large crossover

romance audience.• Natural Ordermage was a New York Times bestseller. • In Modesitt’s Corean Chronicles, Scepters was tracked by the New York Times in

hardcover, and Soarer’s Choice was one of Booklist’s Top Ten SF/Fantasy of 2007.• Modesitt’s fantasy audience has been large for years, and there are now over two

million copies of his books in print.• www.lemodesittjr.com

Praise for L. e. MoDesitt, Jr.“ Satisfying from a science-fictional perspective, with its discussions of Hawking-effect displacements and intergalactic conflict, from a conceptual perspective as the reader must follow complicated reasoning processes, and from a literary perspective as modesitt reaches a new stage in the intertwining of plot and character.” —sFra review on The elYsium Commission

“ modesitt’s prose is lively, and there’s enough sense of wonder here to satisfy even the most jaded.… A must-read for modesitt fans, as well as those of Jack mcDevitt and Arthur C. Clarke.” —KirKus reviews, sTarred review on The eTerniTY arTiFaCT

charles sheffieldDArK AS DAY

“One of the most imaginative, exciting talents to appear on the SF scene in recent years.” —PUBLiSHERS WEEkLY

In this sequel to his novel Cold As ice, Charles Sheffield returns to the human-settled solar system in the years after the Great War that nearly wiped out the

human race. The earth is recovering—at least in the southern hemisphere. Mars has a small population, and the asteroids and moons of Jupiter and Saturn are thriving centers of trade and research.

On one of those moons, Alex Ligon, scion of a great interstellar trading family, has turned his back on the family business in favor of mathematics. He has developed an incredibly accurate new population model. But when he extends the model a century into the future, it predicts the complete destruction of the human race.

On another moon, the search for extraterrestrial Intelligence continues, undaunted by generations of failure. To her amazement, a new recruit finds a signal—one coming from outside the solar system.

And in this new retreat on a minor moon of Saturn, a genius collects weapons from the Great War—only to find one set to destroy the Sun.

Key Points• This is the sequel to Cold As ice.• This book is suitable for young adult readers.• Dark as Day is hard science fiction in the mold of Arthur C. Clarke.• Sheffield was the author of thirty previous science fiction novels, including

The Ganymede Club.• He was a mathematician and theoretical physicist by training, and worked as chief

scientist for the earth Satellite Corporation, a Washington, D.C.–based firm that specializes in the analysis of data gathered from space.

Praise for charLes sheffieLD“Ingenious puzzles and resolutions, moved along at a smart pace by the convincingly lifelike and varied cast: a worthy if belated sequel to Cold As Ice.” —KirKus reviews on DarK as DaY

“Fans of tangled plots, detailed settings and taut adventure will have a great time with Nebula Award–winner Sheffield’s follow-up to Cold As Ice.” —Publishers weeKlY on DarK as DaY

“Written at the level of Arthur C. Clarke at his best—with deft characterization, pellucid handling of scientific questions, good world-building and real wit—this is arguably Sheffield’s best book yet.” —booKlisT, sTarred review on ColD as iCe

Patrick taylorAN IrISH COUNtrY DOCtOr

the beloved New York Times bestseller, now in mass market!

Barry Laverty, MD, can barely find the village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there, but he already knows that there

is nowhere he would rather live than in the emerald hills and glens of Northern Ireland. The proud owner of a spanking-new medical degree, Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice.

At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly.

The older physician, whose motto is to never let the patients get the upper hand, has his own way of doing things. At first, Barry can’t decide if the pugnacious O’Reilly is the biggest charlatan he has ever met, or the best teacher he could ever hope for.

Ballybucklebo is long way from Belfast, and Barry soon discovers that he still has a lot to learn about country life. But if he sticks with it, he just might end up finding out more about life—and love—than he ever imagined back in medical school.

Lily Forrester is a tough judge in Ventura County, California, who has overcome adversity and heartache to achieve a position where she can help those who

can’t help themselves. The current case before her is the sensational murder trial of a woman who tortured and killed her beautiful two-year-old son. Lily is determined to see justice done but she’s thrown for a loop when she receives word that her own daughter, Shana, is on the verge of dropping out of law school. Fearing for her daughter’s mental health and pressured by the looming trial, Lily takes Shana to a supposedly prestigious treatment facility.

Which is when things go horribly awry. The institution is far less interested in treating patients than it is in bilking the insurance companies out of extravagant fees…and they are less than scrupulous about patients’ rights. Lily has to use all her intelligence and street smarts to find a way to free Shana. And time isn’t on her side, for there is a sociopath who is using the hospital to stay safe.

A sociopath who has decided that Shana is his best new obsession….

William b. scott, Michael J. coumatos, and William J. birnesCOUNterSpACeThe Next Hours of World War iii

Space Wars was just the beginning of World War III—this is how it ends

The scenarios of Counterspace offer a frighteningly plausible look at threats to our nation and the world. Scott, Coumatos, and Birnes have used war gaming

scenarios to fictionalize how the US Strategic Command, code named Counterspace, must fight off these menaces to prevent global disaster. Combining real and future technology with our enemies’ grandest plans, Counterspace is equally a terrifying possibility and a hopeful affirmation that our nation can and will be ready to face such hazards, told with the pulse-pounding power of a modern day thriller.

Key Points• The follow-up to the World War III thriller Space Wars, which has been

optioned for film.• This is a fact-based scenario that includes current near-space military

weapons and warcraft.• The book is based on real-world concerns expressed by the military space

community. It shows not only how World War III will start, but that it’s already begun.

• Gives an insider’s look at at our military command and privileged centers of power, such as the Pentagon, US Strategic Command, and NORAD.

• Michael J. Coumatos is a former US Navy test pilot, US Space Command director of war-gaming, and National Security Council counterterrorism advisor under Condoleezza Rice. He has appeared on The Glenn Beck Show on CNN.

• William Scott is the Rocky Mountain Bureau chief for Aviation Week & Space Technology and a former US Air Force flight test engineer. He has served with the National Security Agency and as aircrew on nuclear-sampling missions.

• William J. Birnes is the New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Day After Roswell, and the publisher of UFO Magazine. He is also the host of the show UFO Hunters, which airs on The History Channel.

the elk-Dog band of the people have mastered the horse and become skilled warriors—but peace and prosperity create new troubles

Set in the New World of the early 16th century, Don Coldsmith’s acclaimed novels recreate a time, a place, and a people that have been nearly lost to history. In

The Spanish Bit Saga we see history in the making through the eyes of those proud Native Americans who lived it.

Before he was the outsider. Now, Juan Garcia, the Spaniard who had brought horses—”elk-dogs”—to the People, was a chief with a new name, Heads Off. Before, the People had run from their traditional enemies, the Head Splitters. Now, the People were warriors who had become respected by others on the Great Plains. But, like youths of any other time and place, the “young Bloods” of the tribe were thirsty for battle to prove themselves men. Against the direct orders of their elders, the young men wanted to continue their war with the Head Splitters. It was up to Heads Off to keep the peace—among his own people.
