From the STINKING GENIUS responsible for Pryotechnicon: Being a True Account of Cyrano De Bergerac's Further Adventures Among The States and Empires of the Stars, by Himself (dec'd), comes a still-warm midden of fantastical short stories. The Author takes this opportunity to apologise for the feelings of inadequacy that will arise in those who encounter the exquisitudinal stories herein contained, or barely contained -- glittering, lacy, plangent with ideas and pungent with wordplay, all touching on -- sometimes delicately, sometimes with fists, sometimes with greasy intimacy -- diverse curious and amusing notions, such as an endeavour by British colonials to terraform Hell (contrast with the story dealing with the late Carl Linnaeus's attempts to classify the species of Paradise); a planet wrapped in fabric where pirates boom and roar in galleoned steam irons; a look at what it will mean to be disabled in the future ... etc., etc. -- a book to be handled with care, so close is its resemblance to a clutch of Faberge eggs, their Faberge chicks waiting to be hatched by the warmth of the Reader's startled regard.

In March 1305, a group of Australians and Americans arrive in medieval France. To be precise, they arrive in the Languedoc, near a village called Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert.The scientists want to save the world. Dr Artemisia Wormwood wants to save her sister. If she joins the time-travellers as their historian, her pay would cover treatment that might give her sister life.Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert is a desert of souls. Village, monastery, pilgrimage path, and legend; that's all there is. Perfect for scientists who have promised their work will not interfere with history. Those scientists have nine months and a dedication that defies reason. They won't tell Artemisia about their research. They don't want to hear her explanations about the world around them and about its people. Some of the scientists don't even want her there. Who needs an historian when the village looks like a gamer's dream? The villagers are disturbed by the strangers. Most of the strangers don't really care.Prepare for a bumpy ride with bad coffee.

In 1834 Private Benjamin Burman is on the run to a new life in America. But the British Army does not suffer deserters; Benjamin is captured and banished to Van Diemen's Land. Yet even when his sentence is over, his punishment is not done, for he is forever to be reminded of his disgrace by a thick, black D tattooed into his ribcage. It will take the greatest tragedy of his life, awaiting him still in the gold-mining town of Daylesford, to set him free.

The Narrative of Deserter Burman

Pyers, Greg

Zuri was seven when she first saw a dragon. An army from the Dragonlands was coming north, brutally expanding their empire. Her village is conquered, and Zuri is captured by soldiers and sold as a slave. A fast learner, she works as a scribe; a fast runner, she wins prizes on fair-days... but she still remembers her home, south of the sea, and she remembers the Dragonlords, their iron weapons and scale armour, their great carrion-eating wyverns and their monstrous reptilian mounts. Aided by mercenaries and pirates, the Dragonlords continue their conquest of the north. When they besiege Cavalis, Tam the Elf, the rat-catcher's slave-boy, is the only one who knows a way under the walls - a tunnel much too narrow for any adult. To save their city and themselves, Zuri and Tam must stay ahead of the Dragonlords as they run through unfamiliar lands... armed only with their wits, a tiny knife and a letter from the Duke, they search for a way to defeat an army and win their freedom.
