Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time.
So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down.
The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.
Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.
Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.

Size: 23.2 cm. Price: U.S. $38.52 General note: In war everyone loses. This brutal truth can be seen in the eyes of every soldier in every world…
In Letherii, the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen.
And in these same Wastelands, others gather to confront their destinies. The warlike Barghast, thwarted in their vengeance against the Tiste Edur, seek new enemies beyond the border and Onos Toolan, once immortal T'lan Imass now mortal commander of the White Face clan, faces insurrection. To the south, the Perish Grey Helms parlay passage through the treacherous kingdom of Bolkando. Their intention is to rendezvous with the Bonehunters but their vow of allegiance to the Malazans will be sorely tested. And ancient enclaves of an Elder Race are in search of salvation--not among their own kind, but among humans--as an old enemy draws ever closer to the last surviving bastion of the K'Chain Che'Malle.
So this last great army of the Malazan Empire is resolved to make one final defiant, heroic stand in the name of redemption. But can deeds be heroic when there is no one to witness them? And can that which is not witnessed forever change the world? Destines are rarely simple, truths never clear but one certainty is that time is on no one's side. For the Deck of Dragons has been read, unleashing a dread power that none can comprehend…

General note: "A Wall of the Palazzos paneling had been in need of restoration. Behind it, buried in the masonry, conservators had come upon a wooden casket, which, when opened, was seen to contain a quantity of papers, indisputably aged but fresh and well-preserved.

No one truly understands the mechanism of love. Is it chemical? Psychological? Magical?
Love can't be measured or weighed, but it exists in time and space. It's intensity can be all-consuming or as warm and familiar as an old sweater. It can make men and women act against their own basic instincts. Even against their own survival. Or it can twist their lives in unpredictable directions.
Robert Martin, Ph.D., is the author of the prize-winning biography of Adalberto Colangio, the famous Renaissance figure. Martin, always tantalized by the mystery of Colangio's sudden disappearance from the Renaissance scene, decides to follow Colangio's trail into the past. As his research progresses, he finds himself confronting the strange power of love in his own life as well as in the life of Colangio.
Incantation takes the reader on a journey from the august halls of the University of Chicago to the magical city of Siena, Italy; from a crippling love affair to the discovery of the secret behind Colangio's own fate. During the journey Robert Martin's own system of beliefs is shredded by the forces of love and discovery. The tale's finale is a shocker.Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: [LCSH]Novel Curricular : BALA/MTEIL Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27719 Incantation [printed text] / Steven M.

Love can't be measured or weighed, but it exists in time and space. It's intensity can be all-consuming or as warm and familiar as an old sweater. It can make men and women act against their own basic instincts. Even against their own survival. Or it can twist their lives in unpredictable directions.
Robert Martin, Ph.D., is the author of the prize-winning biography of Adalberto Colangio, the famous Renaissance figure. Martin, always tantalized by the mystery of Colangio's sudden disappearance from the Renaissance scene, decides to follow Colangio's trail into the past. As his research progresses, he finds himself confronting the strange power of love in his own life as well as in the life of Colangio.
Incantation takes the reader on a journey from the august halls of the University of Chicago to the magical city of Siena, Italy; from a crippling love affair to the discovery of the secret behind Colangio's own fate. During the journey Robert Martin's own system of beliefs is shredded by the forces of love and discovery. The tale's finale is a shocker.
