Pendulum Heroes
Melvin Morrow has become a barbarian warrior maiden. Will he be able to escape this new, dangerous world and the chainmail bikini he foolishly chose as his armor or will he and his friends be stuck living their lives as their game avatars? Melvin's a teenage boy not used to being ogled or the real world consequences of wearing a steel bikini. But the real world has shifted... him, his friends Jason and Rich, and his big brother Mike are stuck in character, in a place where danger doesn't lurk because it prefers to boldly stride out in the open. Mages import game players like Melvin via the Rift Pendulum. The reason: the work's suicidal and pendulum heroes are insanely powerful. Usually. Melv...
Pendulum Shift
Rich is a rock between two hard places. He's currently a marble statue, the cost for casting a spell reserved for the clearly insane or truly desperate. His friends refuse to leave this fantasy world without him. They may be badasses, but getting Rich less statuesque will involve witches, vamp-beasts and cutthroat discounts for marble art. Even if his friends manage to free Rich without serious injury or an associated death or two, well, there are still the hard places to contend with. One of those is the Temple of Houses. The Holy Aian Empire is beyond pissed Rich cut their most sacred site apart like warm bread. The aian gods will stop at nothing to see him dead and on display. Then there's the Hierophane. The mage tower holds the Rift Pendulum, the only way back to the suburbs and a world that makes sense. The mages may overlook the mission failure. But then again, no one's told the Hierophant that Rich intentionally killed her father. Beware. The Pendulum is shifting...

No Police = Know Future
What Does a Future Without Police Look Like? In 2020, protesting citizens issued the cry to “defund the police.” But what does that mean? We challenged science fiction authors the world over to give us their vision of a world without police and fair systems of justice. In this collection you’ll find eleven stories showing alternate forms of law enforcement and criminal justice spread across near future, alternate realities and different worlds. Explore places where everyone in the community takes a part to bring justice to killers and citizens step into the role of Mr. Rogers to be good neighbors and resolve disputes. Find worlds where the errant are helped to redemption and a future where a modern angst-ridden cop’s mind is blown. This anthology shows you what “defund the police” can look like. We invite you to take a journey into social landscapes you may not have thought possible.
No Shit, There I Was
Is there a better phrase to start a story than "No Shit, There I Was..."? If you hear someone start with that phrase, you know it's going to be worth listening carefully. That's how all the craziest - and most interesting - stories start. And then we turned a bunch of speculative fiction authors loose on that phrase.
African-American Athletes
African Americans have been participating in sports in the United States since the 19th century -- long before many whites accepted them in this context. Since World War II, they have become recognized as competitors in such diverse fields as baseball, boxing, football, track and field, gymnastics, tennis, and golf. The change from whites-only participation to black dominance in many sports did not come painlessly or without the remarkable perseverance of individual athletes. From the early years to the present day, an impressive array of blacks have achieved success as athletes. This book profiles more than 155 athletes. Each enlightening biographical entry concentrates on the events in that person's life related to his or her accomplishments as an athlete and includes a list of further reading on that person. An introduction, bibliography, subject indexes, general index, and 50 photographs round out the resource. Book jacket.

The Gun Seller
When Thomas Lang, a hired gunman with a soft heart, is contracted to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts instead to warn the intended victim - a good deed that doesn't go unpunished. Within hours Lang is butting heads with a Buddha statue, matching wits with evil billionaires, and putting his life (among other things) in the hands of a bevy of femmes fatales, whilst trying to save a beautiful lady ... and prevent an international bloodbath to boot. A wonderfully funny novel from one of Britain's most famous comedians and star of award-winning US TV medical drama series, House.
