Patrick Taylor

An Irish Country Wedding The beloved New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling novel now in mass market

Love is in the air in the colorful Ulster village of Ballybucklebo, where Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly has finally proposed to the darling of his youth, Kitty O’Hallorhan. There’s a wedding to be planned, but before O’Reilly can make it to the altar, he and his young colleague, Barry Laverty, M.B., must deal with the usual round of eccentric patients—and crises both large and small.

Being a G.P. in a place like Ballybucklebo often can mean more than simply splinting broken bones and tending to aches and pains. It can also mean helping a struggling young couple acquire their first home, clearing the name of a cat accused of preying on a neighbor’s prize pigeons, and encouraging a bright working­class girl who dreams of someday becoming a doctor herself. And, if you’re Barry Laverty, still smarting from a painful breakup, there might even be a chance for a new romance with a lovely schoolteacher, if her passionate political convictions don’t get in the way.

Much has changed in Ballybucklebo, and bigger changes are in store, but the lives and practices of these Irish country doctors remain as captivating and irresistible as ever.

Zane Grey, Helen Cody Wetmore

The Last of the Plainsmen and Last of the Great Scouts

From the legendary writer of the West: two complete novels in one low­priced edition

The Last of the Plainsmen

The unsettled West is fast­disappearing, along with the wild creatures who call it home. This historical novel chronicles the last mission of the last of the plainsmen, the adventure that brought the West to vivid life for Zane Grey: track buffalo, mustang, and cougar, and bring them back, not as trophies, but alive and kicking!

The Last of the Great Scouts

The life story of Colonel William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," as told by his sister, Helen, and Zane Grey. This biographical novel begins with Bill’s boyhood in Iowa and his first encounter with an Indian. We see him as a pony express rider, then near Fort Sumter as Chief of the Scouts, and later engaged in the most dangerous Indian campaigns. There is also an account of the travels of Cody’s famous Wild West Show. Few other characters in public life make a stronger appeal to the imagination of America than Buffalo Bill, whose daring and bravery made him famous.

Tracy Hickman, Laura Hickman

Unwept The beginning of a spellbinding new trilogy by the bestselling co­creators of Dragonlance and Ravenloft, now in mass market

Gamin, Maine, is a remote seaside town where everyone seems to know Ellis Harkington better than she knows herself—but she doesn’t remember any of them.

Unknown events have robbed Ellis of her memory. Concerned individuals, who claim to be friends and loved ones, insist that she simply needs to recuperate, and that her memories may return in time. But, for her own sake—so they claim—they refuse to divulge what has brought her to this state.

Ellis finds herself adrift in a town of ominous mysteries, cryptic hints, and disturbingly familiar strangers. The Nightbirds, a clique of fashionable young men and women, claim her as one of their own, but who can she truly trust? And what of the phantom suitor who visits her in her dreams? Is he a memory, a figment of her imagination, or a living nightmare beyond rational explanation?

Only her lost past holds the answers she seeks—if she can uncover its secrets before she falls prey to an unearthly killer.

Wolfsbane “A force to be reckoned with … a stirring tale of loyalty and love.” —Publishers Weekly on Firebrand

It’s tough being the foretold savior of your race. Rory MacGregor, kept a virtual prisoner in his own father’s dun and hunted by the Sithe queen, needs a break now and then—and what better fun than tearing the Veil no one else can tear and escaping to the Otherworld? In that dangerous Otherworld, Hannah Falconer is as trapped by circumstance as the strange wild Sithe boy whose horse nearly kills her. When Rory tricks her into crossing the Veil and entering his world, she’s sure it can’t be any worse than her usual home life. Meanwhile, Seth MacGregor is fighting to keep his clan safe from the malevolent queen Kate. When an attack comes after years of stalemate, he is shocked to discover who is leading it ... and who else is conspiring against him. This third novel in Gillian Philip’s Rebel Angels series is enthralling and suspenseful, with a range of characters appealing to every age.

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• Wolfsbane is the third novel in this series. It was published in the UK by Strident Publishing to great reviews • The first novel in the series, Firebrand, reached no.16 on Amazon UKs Fantasy chart, with only Stephanie Meyer, Terry Pratchett, Stephen Donaldson, Robert Jordan, George Orwell, Charlaine Harris, and J. K. Rowling titles ahead of it • Gillian Philip is the Carnegie Medal­nominated author of Crossing the Line and multi­award nominated Bad Faith, and Firebrand has received rave reviews in the UK • She also writes the New York Times bestselling middle grade series Survivors as Erin Hunter • We have one more book in the series under contract

"[Rory and Hannah] bring a spunky energy back to the series, even as deliciously evil Kate plans for more destruction than ever. Seth remains an anchor character; it is so rare to see a character grow (and grow up) so satisfyingly throughout a series, and the trend shows no signs of stopping with the new generation." —RT Book Reviews "Philip continues to excel at depicting relationship and character growth, and the slow boil to action among the long­lived but increasingly impatient Sithe."

Hellhole Inferno The thrilling conclusion to the Hellhole trilogy

General Adolphus rallies his fellow rebels from across the vast Deep Zone to fight for their independence. The Xayans add their “telemancy” defenses to the General’s conventional military resources, until they reveal an enemy far more terrifying than the Army of the Constellation: a faction of rogue Xayans bent on the extermination of their race . . . and the destruction of any planet that happens to be in the way. As a barrage of deadly asteroids hurtles toward Hellhole, and the Constellation’s gigantic space fleet arrives for a final engagement against General Adolphus, the settlers are caught between a human enemy that wants to raze their colony and more powerful aliens who can destroy not only human civilization, as well as the foundations of the universe itself.

The Unincorporated ManSocial transformation in the tradition of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead and Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land

The incredible has happened. A billionaire businessman from our time, frozen in secret in the early 21st century, is discovered in the far future and resurrected, given health and a vigorous younger body. He awakens into a civilization in which every individual is formed into a legal corporation at birth, and spends many years trying to attain control over their own life by getting a majority of his or her own shares. Life extension has made life very long indeed. Justin Cord is the only unincorporated man in the world, a true stranger in this strange land. Justin survived because he is tough and smart. He cannot accept only part ownership of himself, even if that places him in conflict with a civilization that extends outside the solar system to the Oort Cloud. The Unincorporated Man is a provocative social/political/economic novel that people will be arguing about for decades.

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• A speculative novel of one man from our era who survives to live again in the future world where he is the only unincorporated man, and a symbol of revolutionary ideas. A new cult novel for individualists • An unusual novel in the economic­political specualtive vein that is the tradition of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress • Fast­paced, gripping storytelling makes for an easy crossover into the general readership market • Strong female characters and elements of romance will appeal to romance genre readers • The authors have a website at www.theunincorporatedman.com

Praise for The Unincorporated Man: "Will appeal to Heinlein's legions of fans with its themes of personal liberty and one man's political struggle with the State . . . . The Unincorporated Man will tantalize you in with its intriguing premise.” ­­i09 "Reminiscent of Heinlein­­a good, old­fashioned, enormously appealing SF yarn. Bravo!" ­­Robert J. Sawyer, Nebula Award­winning author of Rollback
