<div>A Philip K. Dick Award Winner from &ldquo;a brilliant writer&rdquo;: In a ravaged California, a man tries to rescue his lost love from a soul-devouring religious cult (William Gibson). In the twenty-second century, the City of Angels is a tragic shell of its former self, having long ago been ruined and reshaped by nuclear disaster. Before he was in a band in Ellay, Gregorio Rivas was a redeemer, rescuing lost souls trapped in the Jaybirds cult of the powerful maniac Norton Jaybush. Rivas had hoped those days were behind him, but a desperate entreaty from a powerful official is pulling him back into the game. The rewards will be plentiful if he can wrest Urania, the official&rsquo;s daughter and Gregorio&rsquo;s first love, from Jaybush&rsquo;s sinister clutches. To do so, the redeemer reborn must face blood-sucking hemogoblins and other monstrosities on his way to discovering the ultimate secrets of this neo-Californian civilization. One of the most ingeniously imaginative writers of our time, Tim Powers dazzles in an early work that displays his unique creative genius, earning him a nomination for the Nebula Award. Alive with wit, intelligence, and wild invention, Dinner at Deviant&rsquo;s Palace is a mad adventure across a dystopian future as only Tim Powers could have imagined it. This ebook features an original introduction by the author. </div>

Dinner at Deviant's Palace

<div>Two novels by a World Fantasy and Philip K. Dick Award winner who &ldquo;writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of&rdquo; (The Washington Post). At the start of his celebrated career&mdash;before his widespread acclamation as one of the most original contemporary fantasists in America&mdash;Tim Powers published a pair of exciting science fiction adventures. Long considered lost classics, these two novels were early indications that a true master had arrived on the science fiction/fantasy scene. In The Skies Discrowned, a young artist and swordsman becomes a political criminal, marked for death after witnessing an assassination. Francisco Rovzar&rsquo;s strange odyssey through his planet&rsquo;s lawless underworld and his transformation from na&iuml;ve young boy to hardened freedom fighter is an intriguing adventure with action on every page. An Epitaph in Rust unfolds in a grim future Los Angeles, following a young man who escapes a bleak life of servitude in a monastery. Hunted for a seemingly insignificant transgression in a city driven mad by the mayor&rsquo;s explosive destruction and the subsequent murderous rampage of the android police, young Thomas finds refuge with a troupe of actors who have more than Shakespeare on their minds.</div>

Two Science Fiction Adventures

<div>Interviews with the genius behind The Man in the High Castle and countless other science fiction classics. In the field of science fiction, Philip K. Dick is unparalleled. His novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? became the classic film Blade Runner. His short story &ldquo;The Minority Report&rdquo; was adapted for the screen by Steven Spielberg. The Man in the High Castle has become a hit series on Amazon, and those titles represent only a small fraction of his work. In November 1982, six months before the author&rsquo;s untimely death, journalist Gwen Lee recorded the first of several in-depth discussions with Philip K. Dick that continued over the course of the next three months. This transcription is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the field of science fiction. &ldquo;These transcripts bring fresh insights&mdash;notably, into the imaginative biotech plot line of the unwritten The Owl in Daylight . . . Dick also discusses music, writing, philosophers and his 1974&ndash;1975 mystical visions, when the revelation of his son&rsquo;s undiagnosed birth defect&mdash;&lsquo;down to anatomical details&rsquo;&mdash;saved the child&rsquo;s life . . . Fans will rejoice.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly</div>
