Reiffen's Choice: Reiffen, true heir to the kingdoms of Banking and
Wayland, had lived his entire life quietly with his mother and best friends,
Ferris and Avender. His days were filled with sailing, fishing with the talking
seals, and trying to swipe as many extra maple candies as he could.
All that changed when the three Wizards snatched Reiffen away to their
fortress in the north. There they offered Reiffen the twin gifts of power and
immortality--if he helped them wrest control of Banking and Wayland away
from his uncle, the usurper.
Reiffen's Choice is the first book in a trilogy about innocence and struggle
that can only be compared to Eragon and Eldest, The Once and Future King
and Raymond E. Feist's Magician. It will be an experience you will never
forget.

Star Wars infinities Vol. 1 - A New Hope: A long time ago, in a galaxy far,
far away... The events and players are very familiar but something isn't quite
right. Luke Skywalker valiantly attacks the Death Star, fires his torpedoes -
and they miss their mark! Welcome to a Star Wars you never imagined, a
Star Wars shattered, a Star Wars where the possibilities are ENDLESS!
Dark Horse Comics is proud to introduce Star Wars: Infinities - A New
Hope, the first in a series of non-continuity Star Wars stories which are sure
to delight Star Wars fans of all ages. Taking off from the end of events in the
movie Star Wars: A New Hope, Infinities readers will follow Luke, Han, Leia,
Threepio, and Artoo on a journey every bit as action-packed and fantastic as
the original Star Wars trilogy.

Off Armageddon Reef: Weber's latest opus is a complex tale of action and
intrigue set early in the 25th century, hundreds of years after the near total
annihilation of humanity by the Gbaba, an alien race hell-bent on
eradicating humans from the universe. After decades of war and facing
certain defeat, the last remnants of the human race escape and settle on a
distant planet, appropriately named Safehold. To ensure they remain
undetected by their enemies, the leaders of the survivors ban technology,
and genetically adjust the populace to remain in a perpetual pre-industrial
state. However, 800 years later, an android of the old world awakens,
charged with the task of guiding humanity back onto the path of science,
technology and, eventually, the stars.

Say Goodbye: In SAY GOODBYE (published by Deadly Ink Press, February
21, 2008), a second chance at love is the last thing on Gary Kemmerman's
mind — he wears his wedding ring to preserve memories. We meet him
the morning he's forced to become an amateur sleuth, when the widow of a
friend asks for his help. The police say her husband's fatal car crash was
an accident, but she knows its murder.
