Gabrielle drinks too much and orders their humbot Newton to make love to her, which it readily obeys. In the sixth volume of Joe Vadalma's bestselling Morgaine saga, the answer is no! At the end of Book 5, the ruthless witch Morgaine, driven by her age-old love for the sorcerer Michael, gained everything she ever wanted when she possessed the body of his wife Melody. But, can evil ever lead to a happy ending? Now, she learns different. In this delightful new fantasy novel, that is sure to remind readers of Xanth and Diskworld, Joe Vadalma applies his usual deft touch for satire to recent novels and movies about the undead.
If ever a girl yearned to escape the dreary world of farming and small town life, it was Sally. Ten years after the Galactic Chess War. There is trade, but also rivalry. The Stygian warlords are uneasy about the peace, since their honor has been besmirched by their defeat. Emperor Makido is extremely paranoid and trusts no one except his Raven Lenore has a new client, Mordecai Wilsey, a mortician.
He wants her to find a corpse that has been stolen from his mortuary.
Raven interviews the dead man's relatives with no result. However, when she calls upon the missing corpse's best friend, Peter Morgan, he talks about a vampire named Celia and that he saw the dead man Asmodeus is the favorite and is already planning how he will destroy the world and all of humanity with it.
In the fourth novel in this bestselling series, Raven is given an assignment by the demon Lilith. She meets a time traveling ghost, is betrayed by her lover and best friend, visits Merlin's cave, is harassed by vampires, has narrow escapes from death, and falls in love. It's all in a day's work for a psychic investigator. And that's just what happens in the first few chapters! A brilliant historical fantasy of one woman's vision, and the way it changed the course of the Roman Empire—as well as the future of humanity.
Humanity has met its match in the Stygians, carnivores that evolved from feline ancestors, and whose society still reflects their catlike ways. Chief among the Stygian warlords is Growlrr, who declares war on the human race as the first step in his plan to rule the entire galaxy. The key to humanity's future is a ragtag group of people, sublimely unaware of their importance, each a pawn of tomorrow, whose actions will determine the outcome of the conflict.
These include the frustrated Prince Ron Bo Kan sent on a diplomatic mission doomed to failure; Brad Billiard, an intelligent agent who allow his vices to subvert his mission; Lady Slink, Growlrr's mistress, who has enormous psychic powers including the ability to send her aura anywhere in the galaxy; Princess Shady Lai, who plots against her father, Emperor Mikado, because she believes he is insane to fight the powerful aliens; Bulga Khan, High King of the Perseus Cluster, a pompous power-mad dictator; Lucia Malachi, seductive android super spy; Mr. White, android master of disguise; and the mysterious android Aristotle.
Soon, each will play a key role in a galactic war—one which is fought overtly with vast fleets of star ships, killer nanobots, and world destroying weapons; but also fought covertly with a war of espionage, counterespionage and traitorous plots.
Readers can follow the moves of the game through a summary at the start of each chapter and appendices at the end of the book. It all begins when two android spies travel to the planet Paradise to meet Brad Billiard on business, not realizing he is a spy Raven Lenore has a new client, Mordecai Wilsey, a mortician who hires her to find a corpse stolen from his mortuary.
First, Raven interviews the dead man's relatives with little success. Then she moves on to his friends.
She gets no further than his best friend, Peter Morgan, before the interviews take a decidedly supernatural turn. According to Peter, the dead man has been seen out and about in a rather uncorpselike way, as well as associating with a known vampire named Celia VanGrimm.
Now in her element, Raven really gets to work, setting up surveillance of the mortuary. When she sees someone enter it, she investigates further and, lo and behold, catches Celia drinking blood drained from a corpse.
Celia swears that she had nothing to do with stealing the first corpse, but confesses that Peter Morgan is one of her living blood donors. She tells Raven that she can be contacted at Graceland Cemetery. Raven returns home and, her mind in turmoil, has a vivid nightmare in which the dead tell her that she will be caught in the middle of a maelstrom.
Too bad they didn't tell her where the missing corpse is; she's running out of options.
