books by Betancourt & Company     books:       Dreams Of The Compass Rose9 reviews Vera Nazarian Betancourt & Company, 2004 Classic Fantasy I found Vera Nazarian's book to be a wonderful journey into foreign lands. It reinvents the old-time fantasy reminisent of a time before Tolkien and Tolkien wannabees. She creates a world rich in myth and culture.

I highly recommend this book.             Pathways to Elfland: The Writings of Lord Dunsany2 reviews Darrell Schweitzer Betancourt & Company, 1989 The complete guide to the life and work of Lord Dunsany The complete guide to the life and work of Lord Dunsany by one of the world's foremost Dunsany experts.

I had forgotten how enjoyable a series of short stories can be! What a great idea, possibly a whole new genre of mysteries foods. Once I began, I became fascinated in intrigued with how each author would integrate food into their story. A very creative group of authors. I hope there is going to be a sequel.             Lords Of Rainbow7 reviews Vera Nazarian Betancourt & Company, 2004 an absolutely superb tale, to be read again and again Lords of Rainbow has invaded my dreams. It was suspenseful, emotionally gripping, beautiful, original, pervaded with lush, idiosyncratic sensuality, and challenged by a conceptual quirk of world that at first I thought wouldn't really work, but the story proved me wrong. The romance is both more satisfying than any book I can remember for a long long time, and wonderfully strange. As a political ...             Fangs and Angel Wings2 reviews Karen E.

The story is written in two different styles, which befits the two almost diametrically opposed characters. The first is written in an epic, almost melodramatic style. This is befitting, as the first character, Childeric, has an almost luckless existence. He's God-emperor of the Eidolon ...             Guilty Until Proven Guilty Brian McNaughton Betancourt & Company, 2003 There was a murder on the losse, a serial killer and rapist.

He preyed on couples in lovers' lanes, locking the man in the trunk of a car while he forced the woman to commit what the ADVERTISER called "unnatural acts." On the last ...             Sunset Woman Victoria Gordon Betancourt & Company, 2003 With his dying breath, Rebecca Susan Bennett's father had sworn her to rescue her twin sister Amy -- an Indian captive -- or kill her! It was an oath which would lead Rebecca into the wilds of Montana Territory in the aftermath of the Custer massacre, scouring the high plains on a search that seemed futile, at best, a journey fraught with danger and plagued by enemies -- not the least of them her inner turmoil at having promised in the first ...             Black Hole Planet Hayford Peirce Betancourt & Company, 2003 Remo Rydel, an Aussie spacetug captain, thought he had troubles enough already. His gorgeous wife, Kalpurna, was dying, sealed unconscious in a med capsule that was nearly at the end of its capacity to keep her alive. The nearest human hospital was a light year away.

Easton Betancourt & Company, 2003 "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." -- Barry Goldwater Do you agree?

Hoffmann, Algernon Blackwood, Guy de Maupassant, Honore ...             The Wishing Star Denise Dietz Betancourt & Company, 2003 Often funny, sometimes shocking, The Wishing Star exposes the glittering microcosm of TV's daytime drama, where rampant sexuality vies with an almost obscene lust for influence and power. Set during the '70s and '80s, a whole generation springs to life in this bold, voguish classic by the author of _Fifty Cents for Your Soul._             Aliens Hayford Peirce Betancourt & Company, 2003 "They're aliens, right? They're hiding among us. Successfully. In this the age of the supercomputer and the secret police. And by definition they've gotten here from another planet, another star. That means they've got to have techniques we haven't begun to touch! They've got to be able to stop all this shit!" Her voice began to slip to the edge of hysteria, which I'd heard often enough. "Okay," I allowed. "How does that help us?"
