But their goals go beyond mere survival: with the aid of the champions who emerge from among them, they intend to topple the usurper and retake Bessa from the repressive power that now controls it. The assassin, Zuleika, whose hands are weapons. The seer, Rem, whose tears are ink. The wise Gursoon, who was the dead sultan's canniest advisor. The camel-thief, Anwar Das, who offers his lying tongue to the concubines' cause. Together, they must forge the women of the harem into an army, a seraglio of steel, and use it to conquer a city. But even if they succeed, their troubles will just be beginning — because their most dangerous enemy is within their own number...

AND BLUE SKIES FROM PAIN • It's November of 1977: The punk rock movement is a year old and the brutal thirty-year war referred to as “The Troubles” is escalating. According to Irish tradition, the month of November is a time for remembrance of the dead. Liam Kelly, in particular, wishes it were otherwise. Born a Catholic in Londonderry/Derry, Northern Ireland, Liam, a former wheelman for the Provisional IRA, is only half mortal. His father is Bran, a puca — a shape-shifting, ghostlike creature — and a member of the ancient Fíanna. Liam must dodge both the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who want him for the car bombing that killed Constable Haddock, and the Provisional IRA, who want him for the deaths of Éamon Walsh and several others found ripped apart in a burned down farmhouse in Armagh. Fortunately for Liam, both the Ulster Constabulary and the Provisional IRA think he's dead. On the other hand, the Militis Dei — a group of Roman Catholic priest-assassins, whose sole purpose is to dispose of fallen angels and demons found living on this earth — is very aware that Liam is alive, and very aware of his preternatural parentage. With the help of his unlikely ally Father Murray — a Militis Dei operative who has known Liam since childhood — he must convince the Church that he and his fey brethren aren't demonic in origin, and aren't allied with The Fallen.

On the run from the cops after accidentally killing a pervert outside her favorite biker bar, she first had to ditch her beloved Harley in a swimming pool, and then the weird, glowing gadget she found in the cave in which she decided to hide appears to have transported her to another planet... a planet with a Tidy Bowl-blue sky, a fat orange sun, and bizarre blue shrubbery. A planet where Jane encounters a gang of nearly naked purple men in gold cloaks beating the crap out of a bunch of other nearly naked purple men in red cloaks.

At the behest of a Zoroastrian witch, two soldiers of fortune, Lugorix and Matthias, smuggle a Persian noblewoman out of Alexander's clutches and help her escape to Athens, where they ally with the legendary orator Demosthenes. Alexander has become convinced by the Oracle at Siwah that he is the son of Zeus — a demigod — and he plots to destroy the Athenian Empire, whose capital is an impregnable fortress protected by ship-patrolled moats, steam-driven catapults, and flamethrowers. But Alexander has his own magicians who harness all manner of strange devices of war — powered by fire, water, and gears — in the pursuit of victory. And now the philosopher-scientist Aristotle has made a discovery that could determine the course of the war: the location of the magical artifacts that were sunk beyond the Pillars of Hercules more than a thousand years before, in the lost city of Atlantis.
