A HARROWING SUPERNATURAL ADVENTURE, FULL OF COLOR, DRAMA, AND ROMANCE, AS ONLY TIM POWERS CAN DELIVER

PARIS 1925:

HARRY NOLAN is an expatriate American, making a meager living as an illustrator for a low-paying magazine, but his life is upended when he is assigned to illustrate an anonymous article about the death of a god. The author turns out to be a local writer named ERNEST HEMINGWAY, who—at first—tries to distance himself from the article and its lethal consequences. VIVI CHASTAIN is a rootless 19-year-old orphan who sustains herself by betting on horse races—aided by the spirit of the man she was in a previous life. But now that old identity is crowding her consciousness, threatening to push her own precarious identity into oblivion. It was her alcoholic occasional “stepfather” who told Hemingway the story about killing a god, and the sauteurs, an ancient brotherhood bent on preserving their own existence and be damned with everyone else, are now aware of the story—and of her.

Vivi and Nolan find themselves reluctantly thrown together as hunted fugitives. Their struggles to evade the murderous sauteurs and free Vivi from her increasingly intrusive previous self lead the pair to a mysterious hermit who lives in the towers of Notre Dame cathedral, and the haunted catacombs under Paris, and a confrontation with ancient gods themselves. From the narrow streets and rooftops of post-war Paris to a remote village in Spain, Nolan and Vivi contend with forces natural and supernatural, enemies living and dead, and ultimately find themselves pitted against the god Moloch himself—at peril of their eternal souls.

B.A.D. COMPANY IS AT IT AGAIN, THEIR CUSTOM-ENGINEERED DRAGONS CURBING ECOLOGICAL THREATS—BUT ARE THEY A THREAT THEMSELVES? 

Genetic engineer Noah Parker helped domesticate dragons for use as pets and deployed them for the U.S. military. Now his team is tasked with designing dragons to tackle invasive species and other ecological problems, in wildly diverse zones, from the hot deserts of America to frozen wastes of Antarctica. It’s no easy job, especially because government approval requires the dragons have built-in fail-safes to prevent them from reproducing in the wild. To Noah’s surprise, the approval also requires the presence of an onsite observer—who happens to be his former rival from graduate school.

But as Noah and his dragons race around the globe to counter one environmental disaster after another, problems continue to pile up back home. The longer he is away, the more Noah risks losing the professional and personal worlds he has worked so hard to build . . .

IN PRINT AGAIN AS A STAND-ALONE: THE CULMINATION OF THE AGENT OF CHANGE SEQUENCE OF THE LIADEN UNIVERSE® NOVELS!

Unexpected friends and enemies are pitted against each other in a war that spans planets and races—a war that threatens to bring interstellar violence to the very surface of fabled Liad.

Val Con yos’Phelium—a Scout, former Agent of Change, husband, brother to Turtles, and designated heir to Clan Korval’s fortune and mission– whether you considered him respectable or not, no one would call him a gambling man. When he reappears demanding Balance and retribution, on his capable shoulders rests the fate of his Clan, his world, and his civilization . . .

Pat Rin yos’Phelium—fond father, bon vivant, ne’er-do-well . . . and a risk taker. The enemies of Korval have offered Pat Rin the Ring that would make all of Korval’s holdings his own and a Juntavas Judge has offered Pat Rin a world. When he appears with hired guns in tow no one is expecting him and no one knows what he’ll do. For you see, Pat Rin is a gambling man.
