Of Donkeys Cogs And Hot Bodies

For centuries, donkeys have been underrepresented in the space piracy trade. Harry's about to change that. But much like pirate Haven leader Tone E Robbins, he'll first need to confront a dark secret chapter from his past. Along the way, they'll be hunted by a Federation foe determined to wipe Haven out of existence, led by none other than the Beloved Leader himself, the Grand COG (that's short for Center-of-the-Galaxy). Will the United Federation of Mankind prevail? Or will Harry and his friends prove once and for all that there's a place in the galaxy for everyone? Are you ready for the stunning conclusion to the Starship Ass trilogy? Be sure to BUY or BORROW your copy today!

The Realm Online needs a hero. He'll have to grow up first. Billy's a friendless teen and child of divorce, but when he's playing The Realm Online? He's a legend. Not just a legend, but a god amongst men. Some say he's a no-skill hack, that he's nothing without the mysterious artifact weapon known across the lands as Banhammer. With a unique fighting style perfected over the course of beating the endgame content (twice), Bronan is above needing friends—or a guild, for that matter. Lily of House Hathur is another matter. She isn't merely a conniving you-know-what out to get him killed...IRL she's also his sister. When their parents split, so did she, and now he won't stop trying to ruin her reputation. Can Billy ever forgive his sister for abandoning him—or will his single-minded rage drive her to the brink? Get this book now to find out, and enjoy the opening blow in the eternal struggle between Good and Evil—and brother and sister—in the Banhammer Chronicles. WARNING: This book contains depictions of bullying and the shadowy underbelly of teenage sibling relationships. It's also at times humorous—and sweet. The main character is what we'd consider to be an anti-hero and may not be everyone's cup of tea. Will he earn redemption? That's precisely the story we'll explore in the subsequent BANHAMMER CHRONICLES, starting with REBUILD.

Solo mode is no longer an option. Billy doesn’t need friends, especially when playing The Realm Online. So long as he wields the legendary artifact weapon Banhammer, he has little need of parties. After his character is deleted for terms of service violations, he’s determined to rebuild his character in all its glory. Without help, of course…because parties are lame AF. But when an angry god nerfs his new character with a curse, he’ll have little choice but to accept help from a druid misfit and a Fool’s priest. When the mayor of a newbie town is murdered, Billy will be forced to choose: party up with the others on a unique, high stakes adventure, or risk sucking forever.

A playful, witty, reflective memoir of childhood by the science fiction master Stanisław Lem. With Highcastle, Stanisław Lem offers a memoir of his childhood and youth in prewar Lvov. Reflective, artful, witty, playful—“I was a monster,” he observes ruefully—this lively and charming book describes a youth spent reading voraciously (he was especially interested in medical texts and French novels), smashing toys, eating pastries, and being terrorized by insects. Often lonely, the young Lem believed that he could communicate with household objects—perhaps anticipating the sentient machines in the adult Lem's novels. Lem reveals his younger self to be a dreamer, driven by an unbridled imagination and boundless curiosity. In the course of his reminiscing, Lem also ponders the nature of memory, innocence, and the imagination. Highcastle (the title refers to a nearby ruin) offers the portrait of a writer in his formative years.
