When two rival presidents in the distant future, foes since their youth, declare a hyper-power war, they set in motion events which transform America's place in the world ... and beyond. With devilish delight icons, role models and expectations are upended with laugh-out-loud irreverence. Characters defy tradition and stereotyping, revealing the devastating high jinks which - without doubt - exist within the hallowed halls of existing rival countries, let alone imaginary future nations and governments. Outrageous political prods and withering insight makes Land That I Love a compelling lampoon.

Dreams of a career as a classical pianist erode and wither, destroyed through a relationship with the famous and forceful Antonia Brico, renowned pianist and the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic. Told almost as a post-modern detective story, through a mosaic of fact and imagination, The Last Protégée reveals the extraordinary power and emotional depth of Dr. Brico's influence on half a century of Nancy Deed Resler's life.

How would a world populated by superheroes differ from our own? Not much. If you have a rare skill or a talent or an ability that you're not using, then maybe you could relate to our heroes: Orville Ortley, Mucus-Man, whose snot has the explosive power of a howitzer shell Kevin Kiley, Count Karma, invincible wonder of the ethereal plane who's utterly useless on earth Mindy Maguire, Supermodel, upon whom the goddesses bestowed the most unwelcome power a Smith College women's studies major could imagine Instead of fighting evil on a cosmic scale, they guard St. Louis's Chesterfield Mall. That is, until the day the villains' lobby, the American Malevolence Institute, sets its sights on this ordinary shopping center. If the Institute should defeat this discount-bin collection of mall cops, it would mean the end of all life on earth. Battling these villains would be an epic struggle in itself but, along the way, our heroes must also contend with the headline-grabbing super-group The Crusaders, a once-peaceable young woman who has been transformed into a chaotic beast after having been bitten by a radioactive badger, stifling government bureaucracy, the capriciousness of deities and, of course, their own personal shortcomings and that of their teammates. Who will survive? Who will prevail? Who will prove themselves mighty?

Children of the Canyon tells the story of David, a boy growing up in LA's fabled Laurel Canyon neighborhood as the 1960s counterculture is coming to an end. David's record producer father works with the reclusive former leader of a surf music band on an album that promises to elevate the legacies of both men to immortal status. His distant, peripatetic mother rides the waves of activism and feminism in and out of David's life. The elusive Topanga, named for the city's last remaining Eden, whom David meets on the beach the night of his parents' separation continues to elude his futile attempts to reconnect with her throughout the decade. Through David's eyes, we bear witness to the fallout from the California Dream's malfunction: the ruined families, failed revolutionaries, curdled musical idealism, and, ultimately, the rise of the conservatism that put the country on its present path.

Age of Certainty gives ten authors' answers to the question, "What if God existed?" Suppose the theory is true that we're biologically hardwired to believe in God - Brandon H. Bell wonders if that's evidence enough that He is objectively real. ... Imagine the traditional, Western version of God - now imagine along with Patrick Evans if the God revealed tomorrow has absolutely nothing to do with any of that. ... David J. Fielding introduces a character who wouldn't hesitate to kill God for the evil He has brought to bear, even if the result is just another form of an absence of good. ... and Nebula Award laureate James Morrow asks if God would exist in the absence of misleading proof planted by a talking, time-traveling cyborg tortoise who shoots lasers out his eyes.

Thorpe and Jeffrey Witthauer.
