Beckoned By The Mist

Would that center point where all supernatural worlds collide be their salvation? He was the Immortal, who had chased down time for his one last chance to reunite with his kindred spirit, with his forever love, Eve Campbell. Max Macgregor, a child of the mist, fought hard and battled his way to the twenty-first century to reconnect with Eve. But he would have to complete what would be his last mission. Tasked this time to finally rid the world of one created only to do evil, Max had made this deal to fight a very long time ago—one more fight, for one more year with his true love. Devastated by the loss of her husband three years prior, Eve desperately wanted to love and believe again. But their time together came with a heavy price. With Max having made the only deal he could, time and an old world obligation became their enemy. Beckoned by the Mist is a journey through love, filled with rekindled romance, sensual connection, and a supernatural tension, as our two heroes work to complete and meet their ultimate destiny.

This book would have been completed earlier but for events that disrupted millions of lives across India, including those of journalists: the demolition of the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, by a Hindu mob on 6 December 1992 and the communal riots that followed across the country. In January 1993, the selective massacres of Muslims at Bombay and the devastating revenge bomb blasts there two months later led to extensive travelling and reporting for the New York Times. In addition, there was 'normal reporting': the Punjab, environmental, economic and political issues such as the billion dollar scam.

Darkly delicious imaginings inspired by the customs and ancient tales of Russia and Eastern Europe. ‘Funny, brutal, and irreverent’ – Bustle.com

The Hugo and Nebula Award–winning series of swords and sorcery, featuring two unorthodox heroes, from a Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Many decades before George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, Grand Master Fritz Leiber ruled the sword-and-sorcery universe. These three short story collections chronicle the unconventional adventures of Leiber’s endearing antiheroes: barbarian Fafhrd and former wizard’s apprentice, the Gray Mouser. Swords and Deviltry: Fafhrd, a handsome barbarian of the Steppes, is seduced by a beautiful prostitute and her equally intoxicating city, while the Gray Mouser, a slum rat wizard-in-training, is tempted by the dark arts. The two men meet on a night of multiple thieveries and an enduring partnership is born. Swords Against Death: Rogue swordsmen and devoted companions Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser pursue ill-gotten fortunes within the confines of Lankhmar. They cross paths with two wizards, Sheelba of the Eyeless Face and Ningauble of the Seven Eyes, and a most violent clash ensues. Eventually, following further adventures, the two antiheroes end up as indentured swordsman servants to their former foes. Swords in the Mist: A cloud of concentrated hatred and lean times in Lankhmar compels Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser to temporarily depart the most corrupt metropolis in all of Nehwon as they seek adventure in the realm of the Sea-King—and on a different world entirely. This must-read collection of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser short stories features multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–nominated tales, and includes the acclaimed novella Ill Met in Lankhmar.

Could the Americans really have figured out a way to create some sort of super-soldier who is both physically and psychologically enhanced? Are they testing it, or him, on Thai soil? And why is everyone, from the Bangkok police to the international community, so eager to turn a blind eye? The case takes Sonchai to a hidden Cambodian jungle compound for ageing American vets where he discovers exactly how far a government will go to protect its very worst secrets both past and present.
