The Mills of the Gods
by Tim Powers
A HARROWING SUPERNATURAL ADVENTURE, FULL OF COLOR, DRAMA, AND ROMANCE, AS ONLY TIM POWERS CAN DELIVER PARIS, 1925 HARRY NOLAN is an expatriate American, making a meager living as an illustrator for a low-paying magazine, but his life is upended when he is assigned to illustrate an anonymous article about the death of a god--because a centuries-old French brotherhood, the sauteurs, are determined to suppress the story the article tells. The sauteurs have burned the magazine's office and killed the editor, and Nolan has the only surviving copy of the article. The author turns out to be a local writer named ERNEST HEMINGWAY, who--at first--tries to distance himself from the article and its lethal consequences. VIVI CHASTAIN is a rootless 19-year-old orphan who sustains herself by betting on horse races--aided by the spirit of the man she was in a previous life. But now that old identity is crowding her consciousness, threatening to push her own precarious identity into oblivion. It was her alcoholic occasional stepfather who told Hemingway the story about killing a god, and the sauteurs are now aware of the story--and of her. The SAUTEURS maintain their identities past death through controlled reincarnation--when members die and are reborn, the brotherhood finds their newborn incarnations, kidnaps them, and raises them in special nurseries, where they can fully resume their previous lives. Vivi escaped from one of these nurseries when she was six years old, and so her previous identity has not yet consummated his possession of her. The sauteurs want that consummation to happen--soon. GERTRUDE STEIN is the hub of literary and artistic Paris, and knows many of the city's supernatural secrets. She has written a book that appears to be nonsense but which can be used to deflect the kind of psychic assault that threatens Vivi, and she becomes a Merlin-like mentor to Vivi and Nolan-- --who find themselves reluctantly thrown together as hunted fugitives. Their struggles to evade the murderous sauteurs and free Vivi from her increasingly intrusive previous self lead the pair to a mysterious hermit who lives in the towers of Notre Dame cathedral, and the haunted catacombs under Paris, and a confrontation with the Roman goddess Cybele in an other-worldly temple on an island in the Seine. In pursuit of a secret painting by PABLO PICASSO, they learn that the god whose death the Hemingway manuscript describes is Moloch, the child-devouring Phoenician god mentioned in the Bible--and that the sauteurs make sacrifices to Moloch to maintain their reincarnations. From the narrow streets and rooftops of post-war Paris to, finally, a supernatural battle between gods in a remote village in Spain, Nolan and Vivi contend with forces natural and supernatural, enemies living and dead, and ultimately find themselves pitted against the god Moloch himself--at peril of their eternal souls. The Mills of the Gods is a harrowing supernatural adventure, full of color, drama, and romance, as only Tim Powers could tell it.

In Alison's Book and Scap's Book, Virgil navigates a surreal afterlife-guided first by a nameless spirit, then by his loyal dog, Scap-through rooms that echo his failures and regrets. Each space forces a reckoning with what can't be undone. Finally, in Virgil's Book, he emerges into a distorted version of life, where the familiar feels alien. Is this redemption or something far stranger?A dark, unconventional narrative inspired by The Divine Comedy, Nine Rooms in The House is for readers who embrace bewilderment, reject tidy conclusions, and find beauty in discomfort.

Operation Bounce House
by Matt Dinniman
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A man must fight for his planet against impossible odds when gamers from Earth attempt to remotely annihilate it in this epic, fast-paced novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl. All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family's aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there's a complication. Even though the settlers were promised they'd be left in peace, Earth's government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an eviction action. But maximizing profits will always be Apex's number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes? The game is called Operation Bounce House. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who've paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he's ever known.
