Doomed Paradise The ancient tales of European Man, carefully recorded by pious monks and hedge wizards alike, are insistent about the Western Isles. One of the tales of Doubting Thomas, the apostle, has it that he Christianized these islands and stayed there until the end of his days. The Arthurian legends clearly state that Arthur's father, Uther, came from the Western Isles. Ancient and Medieval maps agree in showing them as being off the Western Coast of France. Lyonnesse was a part of the Western Islands, as was the City of Ys, Avalon, and the Land of Dahout. Up until the time of the First Crusade, there are records of pilgrims visiting the Holy sites of the Western Islands. The remains of mercantile records of those days hint of trade with the islands of the west. Irish records and legends, which are generally regarded as reliable back to preChristian times, have many references to great floating islands being pushed by ocean currents and winds alike past the Emerald Isle, and sometimes becoming snagged there for a time. The Icelandic Eddas make similar references. Modern sailors and travelers sometimes sight great, many tiered cities near the ocean's horizon, but these people are rarely believed. It is easier for modern, technocentric man to believe in an optical illusion, the Fata Morgana. This book is about two modern, hardheaded engineers who find the Western Islands. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). "When I teach science fiction, I use Frankowski's books as an example of how to do it right." ¾Gene Wolfe

From the award-winning legend of speculative fiction, “a witty sendup of the detective story” with “a richness of invention that doffs a hat to Dickens” (Chicago Tribune). At a fashionable salon, Parisians line up to have their fortunes told by Ric Lazare’s amazing machine. The predictions arrive with unerring accuracy, as if the invention were imbued with some sort of wondrous sorcery. The police, however, have a different opinion. They suspect that Lazare is a con man. Accordingly, they’ve sent one of their own to investigate. Unfortunately, the man they send is Paul Picard. His methods are unconventional. His appetites—for lemon tarts, and for prostitutes—are legendary. And he is no stranger to the dark side of Paris. But Inspector Picard is entirely unprepared for the string of murders that pulls him across the continent. As the killer’s seductive knot tightens around him, he learns once and for all that there’s more to the glimmering world of high society than first appears. Winner of the World Fantasy Award for his novel Doctor Rat, William Kotzwinkle reaffirms his reputation as one of the most captivating and original American authors of the last half-century with this “elegant entertainment” of magic and mystery in Paris (The Washington Post). “Gaudy, decadent, smoothly polished, this beguiling novel is . . . a feat of stage magic, well rehearsed and well performed by a fine craftsman.” —The New Yorker “Alternately dark and glittering . . . a first-rate vaudeville turn.” —Chicago Tribune “Pure magic.” —Playboy

Joe Romano had a dream, as a matter of fact; he had virtually the same dream since he was a baby. In his nightly dreams, a beautiful red haired girl from an oasis in Morocco appears and she talks to him, showing things to him, and who would remain the mystery of his life until a distant day in the future. The girl in Joe?s dream called herself Morgana. While everyone around him thinks that Joe has extraordinary powers, Joe doesn?t think so. His dream is to serve his country in the military, marry his high school sweetheart Emily and to make his parents proud of him. When Emily is diagnosed with a deadly illness, it disappears due to Joe?s touch and prayers, and his own miraculous recovery from injury nothing short of a miracle. Some observe him as a second Messiah, the son of God which he doubts but questions. Joe knows that he must find the meaning of his lifelong dreams about a girl, Morgana in a desert Oasis. Joe?s feelings are so strong that he had no choice, but with two of his closest friends, to travel to Morocco to get an answer about his own identity. Dramatic events push Joe to the edge of despair but his faith or miracle pulls him back to reality. Before he could relax into a comfortable life, Joe Romano must face the ultimate evil that put his faith in God to the test. Is his faith in God and the love for his wife strong enough to survive and overcome temptation? Joe must choose, and choose wisely.

An epic novel of love and duty at war across the reach of time. 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.
