Traitor S Moon

Master spies Seregil and Alec are no strangers to peril. Their assignments, nightrunning for wizards and nobles, have led them into many deadly situations. But sometimes the greatest danger can lurk beneath a Traitor's Moon. . . . Wounded heroes of a cataclysmic battle, Seregil and Alec have spent the past two years in self-imposed exile, far from their adopted homeland, Skala, and the bitter memories there. But as the war rages on, their time of peace is shattered by a desperate summons from Queen Idralain, asking them to aid her daughter on a mission to Aurënen, the very land from which Seregil was exiled in his youth. Here, in this fabled realm of magic and honor, he must at last confront the demons of his dark past, even as Alec discovers an unimagined heritage. And caught between Skala's desperate need and the ancient intrigues of the Aurënfaie, they soon find themselves snared in a growing web of treachery and betrayal.

An occasional publication of the Ulysses S. Grant Association that serves to supplement "The Papers of Ulysses S. ""Grant" by providing both interpretations of Grant and source material impossible or inappropriate to include in the volumes. This volume also provides an appropriate vehicle for the Association editors to use the recently developed computer-assisted text-processing methods.The entire manuscript was stored and edited on magnetic computer tape at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. Mnemonic coding of the final tape was accomplished with definitions developed by Southern Illinois University Press, reducing the typesetter s function to making minor adjustments in his programs to accept the tape.These six articles and documents cover a wide range of topics. Richard N. Current and E. B. Long call for a reappraisal of Grant, with Current examining Grant s role as a leader of a nation only nominally at peace and Long focusing on the controversies surrounding his generalship. Charles G. Ellington traces Grant s journey across the Isthmus of Panama in 1852, which left him with a lifelong desire to build a transcontinental canal. Horatio E. Wirtz examines Grant s little-known role as a mediator in a dispute between China and Japan over the Ryukyu Islands. John M. Hoffman presents an unpublished account of the battle of Chattanooga from the journal of Quartermaster General M. C. Meigs. David L. Wilson and John Y. Simon make available a memoir by Grant s personal cipher clerk and telegrapher, Samuel H. Beckwith."

"A new star is rising in the fantasy firmament...teems with magic and spine-chilling amounts of skullduggery."–Dave Duncan, author of The Great Game When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be…Luck in the Shadows.
