SNUFF

SCHOLAR

by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

"Perhaps the best so far in this consistently fascinating series."

WHEN THE SAINTS

by Dave Duncan

"An authoritative reworking of history, combining a splendid welter of religious and political intrigues with Duncan's typically inventive, deft handling of magic and character-driven action. After some rather inattentive efforts in the past few years, the author is back in top form."

Second installment of the versatile, talented Duncan's latest historical fantasy, following Speak to the Devil (2010), set in Jorgary, a fictional country in late 15th-century Central Europe. Read full book review >
