The Immortality Curse: Phoenix Rising by Sam Hartman Pdf

When a group of industrial AI controllers said they were bored and wanted to use excess capacity to create an online game, they were met with ridicule. Then the beta came out, and the joke was on the rest of the industry. The world was the ultimate in virtual reality. There were no limits to what players could do. The AI touch mattered. The NPCs were just that much more realistic. The tavern wench Hulda had captivated David's interest like no other NPC: she was vibrant and full of life. Before he could lose his courage, his new character Ariel was born. She was a foxy, curvaceous goddess, and like Hulda, she would take all life had to offer. Through her, David was free to live fantasies he could never find courage to face as himself. David had already succeeded against the monsters and dungeons. That had freed him from his world. Ariel was going to be even better: she was going to free him from himself. That first night, playing Ariel was everything David hoped it would be. But as Ariel learned more about Hulda's world, she realized things were not as they seemed between the NPCs and players. In Hulda's world, the true enemies were not the monsters Ariel could see, but rather the fears in her own mind. To survive in this world, Ariel needed to face those fears and find her place in a world where even her notions of right and wrong are turned upside down.

The Other Side of Blood by Michael Dane Pdf

Velho Vain has three reasons to kill himself. The first, he was born an elf. The most despicable of creatures still surviving on the Central Continent. The second, his every moment is haunted by the demons of his bloody past. One of the perks of being an assassin. The third, even the cheapest whiskey has lost its burn. Velho Vain has three reasons to kill himself, but one reason why he never will: Velho is immortal, cursed to endure an eternal life of damnation in his bloodstained land. As far as twelve-year old girls go, Brooklyn is as annoying as most. Her naïve smile does little to cushion her brashness, nor her insanity. Claiming to own a "pet" ghost is one thing, but insisting she knows the location of the lost city of Elemain-famed for its legendary riches-is another. For Velho, her only redeeming quality is the storm of trouble yipping at her heels like jackals on a lamb. When one of those jackals turns out to be Valtienne-the assassin who betrayed Velho's love and killed his brother-Velho's mission changes from suicide to murder. Now the only question on Velho's mind is how to spill every drop of Valtienne's blood. But will his vengeance taste as sweet as he dreams, or will it turn as bitter as whiskey?

A series of trials will determine who'll do the deed; namely, one in the bedroom that has me questioning if my lady parts are really up for this. Right now? Yeah, I can't feel my legs. Except one look at my mates has me caving. The idea of them as dads melts me into a puddle of Claire-goo. Even if their timing can't be worse.

Immortality by Milan Kundera Pdf

New York Times Bestseller "Inspired. . . . Kundera's most brilliantly imagined novel. . . . A book that entrances, beguiles and charms us from first page to last." — Cleveland Plain Dealer Milan Kundera's sixth novel springs from a casual gesture of a woman to her swimming instructor, a gesture that creates a character in the mind of a writer named Kundera. Like Flaubert's Emma or Tolstoy's Anna, Kundera's Agnès becomes an object of fascination, of indefinable longing. From that character springs a novel, a gesture of the imagination that both embodies and articulates Milan Kundera's supreme mastery of the novel and its purpose: to explore thoroughly the great themes of existence.

DRINKING SAPPHIRE WINE (Special Edition) by Tanith Lee Pdf

Four-BEE was an Utopian city. If you didn't mind being taken care of all your long long life, having a wild time as a “jang" teenager, able to do anything you wanted from killing yourself innumerable times, changing bodies, changing sex, and raising perpetual hell, it could be heaven. But for one inhabitant there was always something askew. He/she had tried everything and yet the taste always soured. And then he/she succeeded in committing the one illegal act—and was thrown out of heaven forever. But forever is not a term any native of that robotic utopia understood. And so he/she challenged the rules, declared independence, and set out to prove that a human was still smarter than the cleverest and most protective robot... You don’t need to have read Tanith Lee's DON’T BITE THE SUN, which set the original scene, to find DRINKING SAPPHIRE WINE of the same high merit that distinguished this author’s THE BIRTHGRAVE.
