books by Ace Hardcover     books:       Captain's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 4)49 reviews Jim Butcher Ace Hardcover, 2007 Excellent Captian's Fury is an excellent continuation of the very good series of books. A difficult book to put down once you start with enough twists to keep you guessing to the end yet not lose you along the way. Already anxious to get the next one.             Neuromancer451 reviews William Gibson Ace Hardcover, 2004 Lives up to the hype Okay, now I understand what all the fuss is about. Gibson creates a vivd and engrossing world, entirely believable despite being so fantastic, and does so with a daring, sharp prose style that makes no apologies for bowling forward and leaving slow readers behind. He never holds you by the hand. Never indulges in overt descriptions and filling in all the blanks. It's just quick, cutting, laced ...             From Dead to Worse (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 8)160 reviews Charlaine Harris Ace Hardcover, 2008 Death and Destruction, but Life Goes On in Bon Temps! Sookie continues to deal with vampires and their hunters, with weres and her troublesome brother, with deadly supernatural politics that mere humans shouldn't easily survive.

McKillip Ace Hardcover, 2008 The Bell at Sealy Head Sealey Head is no ordinary town. Every evening most of the townsfolk hear the tolling of a bell, no one knows why it rings or where it's at. It's been going on so long that many of the townspeople don't hear it anymore. Aislinn House on the edge of town harbors a mystery. It's a place where two worlds coexist, with few privy to its secret. On one side lies the quiet manor with its aging ...             Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1)300 reviews Charlaine Harris Ace Hardcover, 2008 Excellent beginning of a first rate vampire series She has supernatural abilities, both a vampire and a shapeshifter romantically interested in her, various supernatural creatures appear in the stories, and vampire bars and nightclubs play major roles in the narratives and even supply names for books. Put that description out to most people and they are apt to say, "Oh yeah, Anita Blake." Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Mysteries, starring ...             Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 2)133 reviews Charlaine Harris Ace Hardcover, 2009 Not quite one, but still good. the night is dark and eerie when a cook is murdered and Sookie is determined to find the truth. Soon after she's on her way to Dallas to locate a lost member of the Vamps. But is finding Farrell going to be what Eric has out-lined? Or will some horrible secrets be revealed in the hunt? Well, this is a Charlaine Harris novel so I guess the answer is obvious....of course there will be trouble - and ...             Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles (Econo-Clad Hardcover))177 reviews Frank Herbert Ace Hardcover, 2008 Really, this is such a fine book It is the one time Frank Herbert let himself (or his editors let him) become truly literary in the series of books about Dune. It must be in the nicest sense of that term. I remember being young, near to thirty, and reading the first time, comparing impressions with friends in the quiet, hands-on moments at our r&d work. Perhaps we didn't feel the sweep of the original Dune, though in ...             Princeps' Fury (Codex Alera, Book 5) Jim Butcher Ace Hardcover, 2008 From the New York Times bestselling author of Captain’s Fury and the Dresden Files novels.

But when Tavi and his legions guide the Canim safely to their lands, his worst fears are realized. The dreaded Vord—the enemy of Aleran and Cane alike—have spent the last three years laying ...             Saturn's Children24 reviews Charles Stross Ace Hardcover, 2008 Ignore the all the reviews posted by Americans This is one hell of an entertaining and thought provoking book. Again, the book is almost entirely centred on a female character - one Freya Nakamachi - Baroque and Renaissance musician, professional concubine and kick-arse cybernetic dame! (you gotta be interested after a resumé like that!?) One of his best characters since Reeve in "Glasshouse" and Sue, the Lesbian Scottish cop in "Halting ...             Marsbound9 reviews Joe Haldeman Ace Hardcover, 2008 Once again he delivers About five pages into MARSBOUND I suddenly realized how much I missed "old school" Science Fiction. I think Haldeman is pretty brave** to tackle some of the most covered ground in the genre: humans going to Mars and finding, well, Martians. If you told me last year I would not only be reading such a book but tearing through the pages to finish it in one sitting I wouldn't have believed you. ...             God Emperor of Dune (Dune Chronicles)154 reviews Frank Herbert Ace Hardcover, 2008 A chance to see for yourself! The masters of myth-making are those who are not only removed in time and place from their respective subjects but who are also removed in spirit. In the Dune series, this book gets straight to the heart of the matter and bypasses the myths and allows you to grasp the spirit of what Frank Herbert discovered in his own life. I think that most people can accept that the great novels are ...             The Prefect11 reviews Alastair Reynolds Ace Hardcover, 2008 A Takeover From Within The Prefect (2007) is the fifth SF novel in the Revelation Space series, following Absolution Gap. From the internal chronology, this novel is actually a prequel to Chasm City and the rest of the series. It is set within the Glitter Band of Yellowstone in 2427, about a century before the Melding Plague. The Glitter Band is thousands of habitats of all descriptions orbiting Yellowstone. It ...             All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7)166 reviews Charlaine Harris Ace Hardcover, 2007 All Together Dead love the Harris series. Its fun and entertaining! I look forward to the next book in the series!             Wolfsbane and Mistletoe Ace Hardcover, 2008 The editors of Many Bloody Returns deliver the perfect howl-iday gift, with new tales from Patricia Briggs, Carrie Vaughn, and many more. New York Times bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Keri Arthur, and Carrie Vaughn—along with eleven other masters of the genre—offer all-new stories on werewolves and the holidays, a fresh variation on the concept that worked so well with birthdays and vampires in Many Bloody Returns ...             Many Bloody Returns (Sookie Stackhouse)21 reviews Ace Hardcover, 2007 Loved it. I really enjoyed this book. Especially 'How Stella Got Her Grave Back.' I thought the title was very clever. This book would make a fun birthday present.             The Unnatural Inquirer (Nightside, Book 8)22 reviews Simon R. Green Ace Hardcover, 2008 Creepy and intriguing. Hi, I love Simon Green's Nightside series because he comes up with something ne all the time. This series is original and captivating, bring you head first into a place of crazy, creepy people. There are always suprises and John Taylor(aka the main character) is Wonderful and mysterious. Everything tends to connect during his books in the weirdest of ways and, sometimes, the good guy wins! ...             Children of Dune (The Dune Chronicles)120 reviews Frank Herbert Ace Hardcover, 2008 Hero of Classic Sci-fi Rarely has a book been as beautifully and poniontly written as Children of Dune, Frank Herbert's third book in the Dune Chronicles. Filled with all of the original cast and several new charecters, Children of Dune explores like its predecessors the creation of Gods and Messiahs from men, albeit prodigal men, but men nonetheless; the creations of empires and the development of societies; and the ...             Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4) (Sookie Stackhouse)125 reviews Charlaine Harris Ace Hardcover, 2004 Vampires,Were's and Witches!! I never thought I would enjoy this series, but right from the first chapter of book 1, I was hooked!! This is not the kind of book I would ordinarily buy, but book 1 was given to me by a friend. she had not read it & said she bought it by mistake. I happened to open it up when I had nothing else to read & "BAM" I was hooked!! I find Sookie an absolute delight. I love reading about each & every ...             The Accidental Time Machine58 reviews Joe Haldeman Ace Hardcover, 2007 The Accidental Time Machine is a blast This is the modern version of H.G.
