C. I. CHERRYH
Men had gone to the stars; they had trod the soil of distant planets and settled their colonies; yet the homeworld of Earth remained. It was legend; it was a place of nostalgia for mankind's lost youth; it was always there. For every son or daughter who had departed for the stars, there were those who preferred the original skies and winds of the world which had first endured humanity's trials and triumphs. C. J. Cherryh, many honored author, has produced in SUNFALL a book of marvels in which six mighty cities laden with the grandeur of history confront their fates ...and those of the Earth-born who loved them. This is a truly unique work.

"Earthsea's magic serves as a metaphor for the writer's own sorcery... Memorable." - The New York Times Book Review

"In this stellar collection...Ursula K. Le Guin makes a triumphant return to the magic-drenched world of Earthsea."*  Featuring the award-winning author's new Earthsea novella, two original stories and two classic tales, as well as new maps and a special essay on Earthsea's history, languages, literature and magic, "the publication of this collection is a major event in fantasy literature."
(* Publishers Weekly starred review)

"A writer of depth who recognizes that not all fantasy venues are created equal...Le Guin's combination of opaque simplicity and transparent complexity, the quotidian and the miraculous, as well as her sharp and subtle characterizations, make for stories that stand shoulder to shoulder with ancient archetypal fairy tales and fables." - The Washington Post Book World

"In the canon of great adult fantasy literature, right next to Tolkien...If you've had enough of Harry Potter-style kid-wizardry, Le Guin offers a powerful tonic.  These tales are intense, moving, engaging and best of all, character-driven: Le Guin knows people, wizards or not."
- The Boulder Daily Camera

"Tales from Earthsea...has poetry and true magic.  Furthermore, it has a great writer's love of an imaginary land that once existed only in her mind and now exists as a treasure in the real world for all lovers of fantasy, today and tomorrow and forever."
- The Orlando Sentinel

As the truth comes out about CoVid and the catastrophically bad response to it fueled by news media hysteria, government incompetence and corporate greed, there are bound to be many cases of "amnesia" about what we knew and when we knew it.

This book, a collection of blog posts by Ken McCarthy edited by Paul Morrison, shows with time-stamped clarity that the multi-layered frauds that were used to sell this CoVid panic were apparent virtually from Day One.

A huge amount of what we call “business savvy” is the ability to see through bullshit: the bullshit of vendors... the bullshit of gurus... the bullshit of lawyers... the bullshit of accountants... the bullshit of government officials... the bullshit of the news media... the bullshit of academics... the bullshit of doctors... and more.

If you want to see what thinking for yourself in the face of an onslaught of government and news media bullshit looks like in practice, this book is an example.

LEGEND OF
THE WEST

It's God's country, and the Devil's country. Where a hired killer cherishes a strange code of honor.  A young miner hauls dangerous freight - a fortune in gold and a beautiful woman - through treacherous territory.  The town drunk wakes up one day - with the town deserted.  Apaches bring a lone white woman a surprising gift.  It's the great American West.  Savage and sweet, two-fisted and big-hearted, like no other place on this earth.

LOUIS L'AMOUR

Our foremost storyteller of the authentic West, L'Amour has thrilled a nation by bringing to vivid life the brave men and women who settled the American frontier.  There are now over 140 million of his books in print around the world.

LOUIS L'AMOUR'S
"PONGA JIM" MAYO

He's a two-fisted American adventurer and veteran of a hundred waterfront brawls.  He's "Ponga Jim" Mayo, and he minds his own business and leaves international intrigues to others.  But, as master of his own tramp freighter, trouble seeks him out as he navigates the treacherous East Indian seas from Borneo to Singapore.  Never one to back away from danger, Jim straps on his Colt automatic and takes the helm of the Semiramis, ready to battle pirates and spies, dope peddlers and gunrunners and whoever else dares to challenge his command... and God help the man who crosses Jim Mayo.
