Apropos is a product of a violent childhood. Estranged from his prostitute mother, fatherless since his unfortunate conception, Apropos makes his living as a thief. But when the death of a young girl rattles his conscience, and when he forges an unlikely alliance with a hero of true nobility, Apropos finds himself confronting for the first time in his life the selfish nature of his maverick, every-man-for-himself ethos. At times a loyal friend, at others a ruthless betrayer, Apropos is fast approaching the moment when he must choose between honor and safety, between the core of nobility residing in his heart and the shame that has haunted him through life. A darkly atmospheric tale rich with tension and unexpected turns of fate, SIR APROPOS OF NOTHING is crafted by Peter David with both penetrating wit and subtle poignancy. Treating the fantasy genre to an invigorating overhaul, David delivers something altogether new and original, starring a character as familiar as yesterday--and as new as tomorrow.
What did Glenn do to make so many people want to kill him? Nothing, really. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. A tossed-off joke resulted in Glenn Hauman, one of the most prominent members of Crazy 8 Press (and certainly the tallest), becoming the target of nearly two dozen of the most demented names in science fiction: David Gerrold - David Mack - Joe Corallo - Robert Greenberger - Russ Colchamiro - Keith R.A. DeCandido - Dean Scott - Mary Fan - Kathleen O'Shea David - Setsu Uzum - Lorraine J. Anderson - Hildy Silverman - Aaron Rosenberg - Blair Learn - Brett Hudgins - S. Brady Calhoun - Michael Jan Friedman - Amy Lewanski - Jenifer Purcell Rosenberg - Paul Kupperberg - Peter David Each of these authors set about to kill Glenn in their own inimitable fashion. Some went bloody. Some went metaphysical. Some went accidental. Some went very, very deliberate. Never has one person been killed by so many. So what are you waiting for? Start reading, and see which is your favorite in the end. Glenn's end, that is. And end . . . and end . . . and end . . .
Many years ago, Darkness of the Light introduced us to the Damned World, where creatures of myth and magic had invaded the Earth and destroyed nearly all the humans. In this nameless planet, we met Jepp, a female Mort (mortal woman) who met a group of vagabonds and roamed the world, seeking fortune and survival. In the sequel, Heights of the Depths, Jepp was brought before the Overseer, the ruler of the Damned World, who threatened to hunt her and companions to their deaths...until a loopy female Mandraque named Norda shot him to death, thereby supposedly ensuring the end of the World. Now Order of the Chaos brings us to the concluding chapter as a group of Phey embark on a journey to the far reaches of Dizz to find out why the world hasn't ended yet and what they should do to keep it going. Meanwhile Jepp, reunited with her friends, is being transported back to Paris or, as they call it, Perriz. There a final confrontation awaits Jepp and her companions against a colony of underground vampires (Piri, as they are called) who has a helpless Piri mother-to-be in their clutches: A Piri who is going to be giving birth to the first mixed breed child in the history of their twelve races. Provided her vampire queen mother allows it to happen. Terry Brooks called the first book in this series a "quirky, intriguing, wonderful tale, filled with adventure and unexpected plot twists." The concluding novel gives you more of the same, and a rousing finale to the tale of the Hidden Earth.

Jacob Morais is just a normal kind of guy. He enjoys his life, with no big worries and certainly no dark forebodings of the kind that torment tinfoil-hatted survivalists. Then comes the shocker, the election of a dangerous buffoon as US president, a grotesque incompetent who's manifestly unfit for office. Foreseeing wide scale disaster, Jacob stores emergency supplies in his basement and buys a gun. Meanwhile back in his day-to-day world he is recruited by an old friend to join her hot e-commerce start-up. When evidence surfaces that sketchy Russian investors are using the start-up as a front, Jacob agrees to help his friend expose the investors' criminal scheme. The investors are suspicious and homicidal and Jacob's life is on the line. It's not the collapse of public order for which he prepared but it has the same imperative: Do what you must to survive.
