Paperback. Zustand: New. Out of sight, out of mind. In the near future, a fluke of quantum mechanics renders Nat Morgan utterly forgettable. No one can remember he exists for more than a minute after he's gone. It's a useful ability for his career as a CIA agent, even if he has to keep reminding his boss that he exists.

Along with a brilliant Iranian physicist who wants to defect, Nat and Yelena must work together to stop a ruthless billionaire from finishing a quantum supercomputer that will literally control the fate of the world.   About Unforgettable: "[A]n ingenious and sympathetic hero who earns readers' goodwill and expectations for a strong ongoing series."-Publishers Weekly "The strongest section of the novel follows Morgan's childhood and the difficulties of navigating a world in which he effectively doesn't exist."-Booklist "In addition to telling a great adventure tale, Stone explores what it means to belong to a community, the nature of free will and the importance of autonomy."-The Dailey News of Galveston County About the work of Eric James Stone: "[O]ne of the most interesting writers of the decade. . . ."-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction "The author creates a clever plot and characters worth rooting for, all leading to an exciting climax."-Tangent Online "This one has the feel of a classic . . . a must read."-SF Site.…

IT STARTS WITH A MAN WHO WAS NOT WHAT HE SEEMED"The man who was not Terrence O'Grady had come quietly."Introducing Val Con yos'Phelium - interstellar spy, starship pilot, musician, and incidentally, a brother to Clutch Turtles.  Running from an assassination he comes upon Miri Robertson, a not-so-retired mercenary soldier born to trouble on a back world and facing disastrously uneven odds in a firefight with her former employer's enemies. Forced to intervene, Val Con becomes a target himself, and the pair are hunted, hounded across space, becoming unwilling partners of necessity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Beset by the angry remnants of the Department of the Interior, challenged at every turn by opportunists on their new homeworld of Surebleak, and somewhat low on funds, Clan Korval desperately needs to reestablish its position as one of the top trading clans in known space. To this end, Master Trader Shan yos'Galan, aboard Korval's premier trade ship, Dutiful Passage, is on a mission to establish new business associations and to build a strong primary route that links well with existing Loops and secondary routes. But reestablishing trade and preserving the lives of the remaining members of the clan aren't all of Korval's problems. Matters come to a head as Dutiful Passage, accustomed to being welcomed and feted at those ports on its call-list, finds itself denied docking, and blacklisted, while agents of the DOI mount armed attacks on others of Korval's traders, under the very eyes of port security systems. Traveling with Dutiful Passage on this unsettling journey is Padi yos'Galan, the master trader's heir and his apprentice. Padi is eager to make up for time lost due to Korval's unpleasantness with the Department of the Interior. She is also keeping a secret so intense that her coming of age, and perhaps her very life, is threatened by it.  About Alliance of Equals: " . . . continues to delight with genteel interactions between mild-spoken characters who are capable of great passions and swift actions, and its immense scope encompasses a well-realized and comfortable universe."-Publishers Weekly About series prequel Dragon in Exile: "[S]prawling and satisfying. . . .
