Citizen Magus
Remington Blakes, a magus from a 21st century where magic powers the world, has a big problem. His former mentor, William Ford, stranded him in ancient Rome without a memory as to how or why. Well a guy has to eat, so he's forced to eke out a living as a magus-for-hire among Rome's plebeians. He calls himself "Natta Magus" since his real name sounds too Germanic to the discriminating Romans. So when Natta learns that Ford has conjured daemons to kidnap a senator's young daughter, he jumps at the chance to track Ford down. Natta chases him to Rome's Germanic frontier to not only rescue the child, but learn the terrible secret behind why he left Natta in Rome. CITIZEN MAGUS is the first book in a new fantasy series by the author of the Roman sci-fi/alt-history CODEX ANTONIUS saga.

Cosmix Banditos
Etre recherché par toutes les polices au nord et au sud du Rio Grande après avoir trafiqué de la coke et des armes, c'est tout à fait légitime. Se planquer dans la jungle colombienne, avoir, pour seuls compagnons, un chien philosophe, un serpent amateur d'armes à feu et un bandito local, ne doit rien au hasard pour un flambeur convaincu, à l'exemple d'Albert Einstein, que "Dieu ne joue pas aux dés avec l'Univers" . Mais découvrir, un jour de sieste, que "non seulement Dieu joue aux dés avec l'Univers" , mais encore qu'il "les jette là où ils ne peuvent être vus" brouille toutes vos cartes.

It is desolate, dangerous and harrowing, and a modern masterpiece.

Take it nice and easy and savour the experience of your mind being blown without recourse to hallucinogens' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian For most people, quantum theory is a byword for mysterious, impenetrable science.

Quantum theory looks at the very building blocks of our world, the particles and processes without which it could not exist. Yet for 60 years most physicists believed that quantum ...

Aimed at the student acquiring knowledge and developing the skills to practise medicine as well as the qualified herbal practitioner, this thought-provoking work breaks new ground in health theory.
