COVER
TEXT:
The Lovers:
Linguist Hal Yarrow catches a lucky break with an assignment on planet
Ozagen, allowing him to escape the theocracy on thirty-first-century
Earth. But he can’t shake Pornsen, his
gapt—something like
a personal guardian angel—who harangues him for even the
slightest wrongdoing. Yarrow submits to Pornsen’s constant
chaperoning, until he meets Jeannette Rastignac. She’s not
his
wife, his faith says any contact with her is sin, and there are other,
odder warnings about Jeannette. But Yarrow’s in love . . .
Dark Is the
Sun:
Fifteen billion years in the future, the Earth is cooling and dying.
All the planet’s life forms have wildly mutated, civilization
is
primitive, and the sun is cold and black. Deyv, a young member of the
Turtle Tribe, is on the hunt for his stolen soul egg, which has been
purloined by the thieving creature Yawtl. Without his egg, he
won’t be able to mate, so Deyv and his companions set out on
a
quest, leading them across a continent, through many wonders and
terrors, to the lair of a mysterious off-worlder who may hold the key
to an escape from their rapidly perishing planet.
Riders of
the Purple Wage:
This Hugo Award winner introduces Chib, a young artist hiding out from
the IRS in the ultimate welfare state, a society where everyone
receives the same wage from birth and stays connected through a
personal video device called “fido.” Chib must win
a grant
at his next art show—or he’ll be shipped to another
society
as part of a government exchange program. But his tendency toward
provocation and blasphemy may be his undoing.
