TWICE A SPYKeith Thomson
“Fast-paced…vivid…fi rst-rate action.” —The Washington Post
“Razor-sharp writing, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sturdy plot combine to make Twice A Spy a real treat for thriller fans tired of more of the same old same old.”
—Publishers Weekly
Thomson’s riveting and hilarious sequel to his debut novel, Once A Spy, again poses the question: What happens when a former CIA agent can no longer trust his own mind? Charlie and his father, former spy Drummond Clark, are on the lam along with NSA operative Alice Rutherford, hiding out in Switzerland near a clinic testing some revolutionary treatments for Alzheimer’s on Drummond. Alice works to exonerate father and son from their criminal charges in America, but is kidnapped by a terrorist group before she can make any real headway. To get her back, Charlie and Drummond must plumb Drummond’s damaged memory to locate his secret cache of weapons and fi nd a way to thwart the terrorists, all the while dodging the formidable CIA case offi cer and his team who have been tracking them.

But when he’s dispatched to collect the soul of a young woman accused of brutally slaying her whole family Sam senses that something is wrong. Believing that the woman is innocent of the horrifi c crime that’s doomed her to Hell, he says something no Collector has ever said before. “No.”
Now Sam has to keep her safe whilst desper-ately trying to fi nd out who set him up.

CARPATHIAMatt ForbeckThe lucky ones went down with the ship!
When a handful of survivors from the Titanic are plucked out of the icy ocean by the pas-senger steamship Carpathia, they thought their problems were over. Cold, wet and still in shock, the survivors bunk in for the long journey home. But something’s sleeping in the darkest recesses of the ship. Something old. Something hungry. And dinner has just been fi shed out of the ocean.
Published to coincide with the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, Carpathia is an inspired retelling of the tale, with some added bite. Think Titanic crossed with 30 Days of Night!

THE CLOCKWORK VAMPIRE CHRONICLESAndy RemicFerocious fantasy from a real-life hardman come to claim the post-Gemmell world! This volume contains all three books in the Clockwork Vampire Chronicles: Kell’s Legend, Soul Stealers, and Vampire Warlords.
The land of Falanor is invaded by an albino army, the Army of Iron. A small group set off to warn the king: Kell, ancient hero; his granddaughter, Nienna and her friend, Katrina; and the ex-Sword Champion of King Leanoric, Saark, disgraced after his affair with the Queen. But as Falanor comes under heavy attack and crushing invasion, Nienna will learn the truth about grandfather Kell—that he is anything but a noble hero, anything but a Legend.
“Truly brilliant…it should come with a govern-ment health warning to fasten your seat belt as the pace is ferocious and leaves you breathless.”
—Aaron Advani, at the David Gemmel Legend Award website
“It’s a fast and brutal fantasy adventure with some fun characters and some fantastic ideas. I am really excited to see the series develop.”

VENOM IN HER VEINS A Forgotten Realms Novel
Tim Pratt
A stand-alone fantasy adventure from a fresh new voice for the Forgotten Realms. A yuan-ti child—a pureblood who looks entirely human except for some very subtle snakelike characteristics—is found alone in a jungle ruin by a passing (and heavily-guarded) caravan of traders who harvest a rare addictive fl ower from the jungle for trade in a nearby city. The head of the caravan takes in the child, not realizing its inhuman origins. The child grows up with the caravan believing herself to be human and learning both tradecraft and how to survive in the jungle, but she begins to have dreams of snakes and other racial-memory things, possibly even visions from a deity. After forcing her mother to admit she’s adopted, she runs away from home to seek out her origins, but she is pursued by her adopted human “brother” who wants to bring her home. They fi nd the ruins where she was discovered as a child, and she discovers her true nature. She’s horrifi ed, but also enraged when she discovers denizens of the Underdark stole away the other yuan-ti from her settlement, including her real family, to use as slaves. She ventures into the Underdark to try and rescue any survivors from her “real” family. Tim Pratt delivers a femme fatale character for the ages. If ass-kicking hero-ines and pageturning action is what you’re looking for, go no farther than Venom in Her Veins. It brings cold blooded to another level.
