<div>&ldquo;If Stephen King set out to rewrite The Waste Land as a novel, the result might resemble Glimmering.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post Climate change, rampant viruses, blackouts, fundamentalists&mdash;the end of the end has arrived. Glimmering, the 1994 dystopian novel by Nebula and World Fantasy Award&ndash;winning author Elizabeth Hand, is now timelier than ever. When the confluence of a solar storm and the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf ignites the atmosphere like grease, those who are able hide behind their walls and masks, seeking the promise of a seductive&mdash;and dangerous&mdash;future. As the earth erupts in flames, department store heir and editor Jack Finnegan faces his own inevitable death from AIDS in his family&rsquo;s decrepit mansion near the Hudson River&mdash;that is, until an old friend offers him a miraculous cure . . . Christian singer Trip Marlowe has found worldwide success, but the dynamic rock star retains his strict morality and faith. Temptation comes in the form of a mysterious blond waif and IZE, a new drug more addictive than crack and heroin . . . The two men will find themselves on a bizarre collision course as a dark and powerful force seeks to shape what&rsquo;s left of humanity&rsquo;s consciousness. &ldquo;A brutal vision of Apocalypse . . . Hand&rsquo;s powerful vision of these days of wrath is not so much a protracted self-pitying whisper as a Nietzschean insistence on salvation through creative evolution.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review &ldquo;[A] wild, psychedelic, thoughtful thriller . . . Another dynamite read!&rdquo; &mdash;The Des Moines Register</div>

<div> Kim Stanley Robinson's Escape From Kathmandu is a light-hearted fantasy tribute to the world of extreme mountain climbing follows the adventures of two American expatriates living in Nepal. Living in the city of Kathmandu in the Kingdom of Nepal are dozens of American and British expatriates who are in love with the Himalayas. George Fergusson is one of them--he works as a trek guide for "Take You Higher, Ltd.", leading groups of tourists into the back country and occasionally assisting on serious climbs. George "Freds" Fredericks is another--a tall, easy-going American who converted to Buddhism while in college. He visited Nepal one year and never went home. The adventures started when George and Freds got together over the capture of a Yeti--an abominable snowman--by a scientific expedition. The thought of such a wild and mysterious creature in captivity--in prison--was too much for them to bear. And in freeing the Yeti, a great partnership was born. George and Freds will go on to greater heights as they explore the mysteries of Nepal, from Shangri-La to Kathmandu's governmental bureaucracy.
