Parody: The Final Frontier Now you can cruise the most hilarious sector of the space-time continuum, with this collection of twenty Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes not by the leading lights of the Western literary tradition: James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Jackie Collins... 
 Steven Boyett transports you into the sort of alternative universes and avid reader or Trekker would love: 
<ul>
<li>a Clancy-like realm where the Enterprise crew mobilizes to fix Captain Picard's broken watch </li>
<li>a Heller-esque domain where you can only get out of Starfleet if you're crazy--and, if you want to get out of Starfleet, you're clearly not crazy </li>
<li>a Collins-ish netherworld where Counselor Demanda Troi sleeps and shops her way around the galaxy </li>
<li>a Melvillean place where Moby Trek lies in wait</li>
</ul>
...and many more. 
 Boldly go where no one has gone before with this stellar combination of high art and high comedy.

Five years ago the lights went out, cars stopped in the streets, and magical creatures began roaming the towns and countrysides of Earth. Pete Garey, a young loner who survived the Change and the madness that followed, spent two years wandering and scavenging the near-deserted cities and towns alone -- until the day he encountered an injured unicorn. He nursed her back to health and named her Ariel, and an unlikely friendship was formed. But unicorns are rare even in a Changed world -- and the power of their magic is highly prized. A necromancer in New York City covets that power and will stop at nothing to possess Ariel, dead or alive. Sought by bounty hunters both human and inhuman, Pete and Ariel decide to make a stand against their enemy -- and journey to confront the dark sorcerer in the ruined heart of the city he has made his own twisted kingdom.

Thirty years ago the lights went out, the airplanes fell, the cars went still, the cities all went dark. The laws humanity had always known were replaced by new laws that could only be called magic. The world had Changed forever. Or had it? Fred grew up in a fishing village off the California coast, playing in abandoned buildings and rusting supertankers. He has no nostalgia for the remnants of his father's civilization, and seeks to make his own mark in the world by learning the science of magic, which leads him and his friend Yan to discover how to reverse the Change. But Yan's recklessness and his growing obsession with humanity's former powers forces Fred to take a stand against his friend -- and sets him on a journey in which the return of an extraordinary figure from his father's haunted past is inextricably bound with this world's future.

Ariel/book Of Change

Decades ago, a young rock and blues guitarist and junkie named Niko signed in blood on the dotted line and in return became the stuff of music legend. But when the love of his damned life grows mortally and mysteriously ill, he realizes he has lost more than he bargained for-and that was not part of the deal.So Niko sets out on a harrowing journey from the streets of Los Angeles through the downtown subway tunnels and across the red-lit plain of the most vividly realized hell since Dante to play the gig of his mortgaged life and win back the purloined soul of his lost love.Mortality Bridge remixes Orpheus, Dante, Faust, the Crossroads legend, and more in a beautiful, brutal, and surprisingly funny quest across a Hieronymus Bosch landscape of myth, music, and mayhem, and across an inner terrain of addiction, damnation, and redemption.Winner of the 2011 Emperor Norton Award for best novel by a San Francisco Bay Area writer.

Open Road Media Sci-Fi & Fantasy

[Read by MacLeod Andrews] At the height of the air war in Europe, Captain Joe Farley and the baseball-loving, wisecracking crew of the B-17 Flying Fortress Fata Morgana are in the middle of a harrowing bombing mission over eastern Germany when everything goes sideways. The bombs are still falling and flak is still exploding all around the 20-ton bomber as it is knocked like a bathtub duck into another world. Suddenly stranded with the final outcasts of a desolated world, Captain Farley navigates a maze of treachery and wonder -- and finds a love seemingly decreed by fate -- as his bomber becomes a pawn in a centuries-old conflict between remnants of advanced but decaying civilizations. Caught among these bitter enemies, a vast power that has brought them here for its own purposes, and a terrifying living weapon bent on their destruction, the crew must use every bit of their formidable inventiveness and courage to survive. Fata Morgana -- the epic novel of love and duty at war across the reach of time.
