Bloodfire Quest
Highly recommended for fantasy collections. ["Since the 1977 publication of The Sword of Shannara, the adventures of the people of the Four Lands have attracted a huge readership. The second volume of Brooks's new trilogy…continues the themes of love, duty, sacrifice, and transformation that have resonated with fantasy lovers.

Wards of Faerie

The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln
Recommended for fans of the period or of Grishamesque legal thrillers, particularly for those with an academic bent. ["Carter writes in the naturalistic school of Theodore Dreiser. His strength lies in capturing the subtle nuances of social interaction between blacks and whites….
