powerful Samurai serve demon worshipping madmen, and expediency and survival are balanced
by honor and horror. A new day in the Yenxhai Dominions is dawning, and the peaceful nations of

This group meets on the 4th Friday of each month to discuss various works of "modern" masters
or upcoming talent in SF, fantasy, paranormal, horror and related genres. It also occasionally
explores classics and the 'masters' of the classics. This month we discuss Mean Streets by Jim
Butcher, Simon Green, Kat Richardson, and Tom Sniegoski. Collection of original novellas tied to
popular crime/fantasy series. The standout is Sniegoski's Noahs Orphans, in which angel PI
Remy Chandler must solve the murder of the biblical Arks builder, whose battered corpse is
found on an abandoned oil rig. Sniegoski manages to make a far-fetched setup both plausible
and moving. Butcher's The Warrior hints at a mysterious ongoing war, while wizard detective Harry
Dresden solves a case with typical dry wit. Green employs darker humor in The Difference a Day
Makes, in which PI John Taylor assists a woman who wandered into the dark world hidden within
London, while Richardson's The Third Death of the Little Clay Dog neatly merges noir
conventions with a fantastical plot. All solid and suspenseful, these stories are sure to please. For
