The Flame's Burden
Ask is a young man, recently initiated into the priesthood that watches over his people, and touched by one of the patrons of fire. When contact is lost with a neighbouring village, Ask’s mentor Igul goes to investigate. Still new to his responsibilities and position, Ask chooses to remain behind to ward their home against the monsters that lurk in the shadows of the frigid taiga. As time passes and no word comes, Ask is faced with a difficult decision—should he stay to protect the people left in his charge, or follow after Igul and pray that his mentor and their neighbours aren’t already dead? Can he save his people from the growing darkness? Or will his decisions lead only to their destruction?
Prometheus' Daughter
In the ruins of Geneva, decaying buildings stand silent witness to the twilight of humanity. Adele, a doctor like her mother before her, uncovers a long abandoned medical laboratory during a scavenging expedition. Believing that her discovery may be the key to mankind’s survival, she eagerly delves into the lab’s secrets. Her dream of saving humanity quickly turns into an obsession, driving away the people she loves most. When her experiments bear fruit in the form of a genetically engineered clone, Adele finds that her daughter is not at all as she had expected her to be. Will her creation bring hope and life back to the sun-scorched world? Or will her hubris condemn her and everyone around her?

Pollock and the Porroh Man
It was in a swampy village on the lagoon river behind the Turner Peninsula that Pollock's first encounter with the Porroh man occurred. The women of that country are famous for their good looks—they are Gallinas with a dash of European blood that dates from the days of Vasco de Gama and the English slave-traders, and the Porroh man, too, was possibly inspired by a faint Caucasian taint in his composition. (It's a curious thing to think that some of us may have distant cousins eating men on Sherboro Island or raiding with the Sofas.) At anyrate, the Porroh man stabbed the woman to the heart as though he had been a mere low-class Italian, and very narrowly missed Pollock. But Pollock, using his revolver to parry the lightning stab which was aimed at his deltoid muscle, sent the iron dagger flying, and, firing, hit the man in the hand.

The Business of Opera
The study of the business of opera has taken on new importance in the present harsh economic climate for the arts. This book presents research that sheds new light on a range of aspects concerning marketing, audience development, promotion, arts administration and economic issues that beset professionals working in the opera world. The editors' aim has been to assemble a coherent collection of essays that engage with a single theme (business), but differ in topic and critical perspective. The collection is distinguished by its concern with the business of opera here and now in a globalized market. This includes newly commissioned operas, sponsorship, state funding, and production and marketing of historic operas in the twenty-first century.

Fear of Being Fat
Abstract: A reference text for physicians and psychoanalysts involved in the treatment of patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia presents 18 papers prepared by psychoanalytically-trained psychiatrists specializing in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders. The text presents a major new hypothesis, viz.: anorexia nervosa, as a diagnostic term, is a medical misnomer and should be replaced by the term "fat phobia." The 18 papers are grouped among 5 principal themes: the characteristics of predisposing factors to fat phobia; the psychodynamic structure of anorexia nervosa and bulimia; analytical relationships between anorexics and bulimics; psychoanalytical treatments; and special issues (including the derivatives of latency, the relationship between self-starvation and amenorrhea, and psychopharmacological therapy of bulimic anorexia nervosa).
