Supermassive Blackguard

An Irishman in space. Hoards of alien technological treasures to be discovered. What could go wrong? Don’t answer that … Fletcher Connolly hasn’t got a lot to lose. Since he, and half the galaxy, signed on to the rat race of the technological relics trade, Fletch has come to terms with the idea that he will join the ranks of unlucky explorers that perish light years from home without a dime to his name. But bankruptcy is a great motivator. With friends and family counting on him to strike it rich, Fletch embarks on an unwilling quest for alien treasure. His decrepit exploration ship, the Skint Idjit, and her successor, the Intergalactic Bogtrotter, plunge disastrously through the wildest regions of the Interstellar Railroad … from an uninhabited planet appropriately named Suckass … to a deliberately misnamed mafia-run planet known as Arcadia … to a rogue planet inhabited by aliens resembling cuddly teddy bears … to a moon covered with giant cacti … and ultimately to the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy, where Fletch’s terrible judgment comes back to bite him in the rear for the last time. Epic catastrophes and belly laughs pile up breathlessly in this delightful comic sci-fi adventure, a worthy successor to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This complete edition of The Reluctant Adventures Of Fletcher Connolly On The Interstellar Railroad contains all four episodes of Fletch’s unlucky career: Skint Idjit Intergalactic Bogtrotter Banjaxed Ceili Supermassive Blackguard Felix R. Savage is the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of the Earth’s Last Gambit Quartet and many other books. This is by far the funniest one.

2 planets in the galaxy that have not been conquered by a marauding alien force: an evil civilization & the Knights of the Blackguard.

You'd think stopping Armageddon would buy a girl a bit of R&R with her freshly resurrected boyfriend. But things go south again when celebrity soul wrangler, Melisande Blythe, is abducted and dragged to Europe. There's more to the darkness hiding in the reclusive, mountaintop country of Andorra than just garden variety evil. There's something dangerously wrong with her beautiful immortal hosts too. Gifted with flesh again by the Grace of God, three-hundred-year-old former ghost, Colonel William Grayford, will move heaven and earth to find his beloved. But Europe's most wicked monsters stand in his way. Something more painful than death awaits Mel, if Grayford can't find her in time. The world's been living on fifteen thousand years of borrowed time and it's just run out.

2 planets in the galaxy that have not been conquered by a marauding alien force: an evil civilization & the Knights of the Blackguard.

Fletcher Connolly just can't win for losing. After his heist of the Gizmo of Rejuvenation went sideways, the last thing Fletch expected was to be abducted aboard the Ghost Train. Only one thing is certain: no one abducted has ever returned. With that in mind, Fletch and his friends agree that under the circumstances, it would be wise to get off at the next planet. But when this proves to be an unfriendly world inhabited by hostile alien hominids, Fletch and the others resolve that there is something to the idea of continuing to enjoy the Ghost Train's hospitality. With nowhere to run aboard the spectral train, Fletch can't run away from danger as is his habit. Forced to tackle the biggest threat in the galaxy face to face, Fletch has no choice but to put his Irish cunning to the test. For the first time in his life he must face the peril lurking at the core of the galaxy for nothing more than the fate of humanity, profit be damned. Can Fletch and his friends find a way to outsmart them all one more time? Or will Fletcher Connolly never see home again? This is the final volume of The Reluctant Adventures of Fletcher Connolly on the Interstellar Railroad.

The city of Ro Canarn burns. The armies of the Red march upon the northern lords. And the children of a dead god are waking from their long slumber... The Duke of Canarn is dead, executed by the King's decree. The city lies in chaos, its people starving, sickening, and tyrannized by the ongoing presence of the King's mercenary army. But still hope remains: the Duke's children, the Lord Bromvy and Lady Bronwyn, have escaped their father's fate. Separated by enemy territory, hunted by the warrior clerics of the One God, Bromvy undertakes to win back the city with the help of the secretive outcasts of the Darkwald forest, the Dokkalfar. The Lady Bronwyn makes for the sanctuary of the Grass Sea and the warriors of Ranen with the mass of the King's forces at her heels. And in the mountainous region of Fjorlan, the High Thain Algenon Teardrop launches his Dragon Fleet against the Red Army. Brother wars against brother in this, the epic first volume of the long war.

Israeli playwright and director Hanoch Levin was one of the most original and innovative writers of his generation. Although Levin is familiar within the Israeli cultural context--and despite the steadily growing stream of literary and theatrical research of his oeuvre--there are few resources on his work available outside of Israel. The present volume, containing a selection of ten of his plays, is the first comprehensive effort to present this unique playwright and director to a broad readership. Levin's artistic credo was based on a constant urge to criticize Israeli society and its mainstream ideology while simultaneously confronting the basic human and existential issues of life and death. A whole generation of Israeli theater audiences has grown up on Levin's performances with all their paradoxical complexities. At this point, just a few years after his death from cancer in 1999 at the age of 56, it may not be possible to evaluate the full impact of his work. But this volume will contribute significantly to scholarship in this direction and to the appreciation of Levin's unique style.
