Featuring 11 interior illustrations from Michael Rechlin!Welcome to Nexus, the center of all dimensions and universes, where species from every corner of reality join in their mutual obsession with the gladiatorial death matches hosted in spacebound barge arenas. Aboard these heaps of interstellar flotsam, Fate isn't some fickle mistress. She's out for blood.One day, you're living large, enjoying a few savvy wagers on a recent arena bout and imbibing a dozen illegal substances just to take the edge off. The next, you're dead in a barge gutter, food for mutant vermin.Could it get any worse? Sure. You could be the poor sonovasprukker who has to clean up all the corpses.That would be Rahgz, a luckless scavenger who lost every Bit to his name not a day after boarding the barge that's become his prison. Scrounging for every scrap he can choke down, Rahgz spends his cycles dodging murderous coworkers, ducking security droids, and praying the universe ignores his pathetic existence.But after he "volunteers" for an experimental implant that's supposed to enhance his perceptions and decision-making processes, things get...well, stranger than usual.Against all odds, Rahgz's new mental guidance system starts steering him through situations where he's not being constantly left for dead. Unexpected profit, plentiful food, and slightly-less-psychotic companions start getting sucked into his orbit, culminating with him acquiring a gladiatorial servant of his own and joining the ranks of lanista, the celebrated souls who oversee the barge bouts.Swept up in this fluke of good fortune, Rahgz is determined to keep his newfound fame at all costs-but there's always a price to pay for glory.And when Mistress Fate delivers the bill, she's more than happy to carve what she's owed out of flesh, blood, and bone.

With fascination, Davie and his friend Geordie watch the arrival of a new boy, Stephen Rose, in their town. He seems to have come from nowhere, and when he arrives to live with his distant aunt, the local Crazy Mary, no one envies his new home. But perhaps he's the answer to Davie and Geordie's prayers - a secret weapon in their war against monstrous Mouldy and his gang. Intrigued, Davie and Geordie befriend Stephen. But they are heading innocently down a path that brings with it a monster of an entirely unexpected nature. Their encounter with the mysterious Stephen is as incredible as it is menacing, and as the true story of Stephen's past slowly emerges, Davie's life is changed for ever... A stunning novel from the author of the modern children's classic Skellig - winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award. David Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.

A Paradise of Poets is Jerome Rothenberg's tenth book of poetry to be published by New Directions, beginning with his Poland/1931(1974). In considering the title of his newest collection, he says: "Writing poetry for me has always included an involvement with the life of poetry--& through that life an intensification, when it happened, of my involvement with the other life around me. In an earlier poem I spoke of this creating a paradise of poets ... I do not of course believe that such a paradise exists in any supernatural or mystical sense, but I have sometimes felt it come to life among my fellow poets and, even more, in writing--in the body of the poem." In Rothenberg's hands, the body of the poem is an extraordinarily malleable object. Collage, translation, even visual improvisation serve to open up his latest book to the presence of poets and artists he has known and to others, past and present, who he feels have somehow touched him, among them Nakahara Chuya, Jackson Mac Low, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Federico Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters, and Vitezslav Nezval. Kenneth Rexroth once commented: "Jerome Rothenberg is one of our truly great American poets who has returned U.S. poetry to the mainstream of international modern literature. No one has dug deeper into the roots of poetry." With A Paradise of Poets, it is clear that this evaluation is as fresh today as it was twenty-five years ago.

From the author of Special Ops and Shadow Down comes this explosive action novel about Marine Force One, a special detachment of the Marine Corps whose prowess in combat and specialized training sets them apart from the average grunt. They charge where others retreat, and succeed where others fail. They are the best America’s got. Islamic terrorists have learned a new game—wreaking havoc on Middle Eastern oil facilities to send America reeling into economic turmoil. To find the leaders of the operation, Marine Force One heads to Yemen—but the job is more complicated than any search and destroy operation they’ve ever done. The terrorists have kidnapped an American Air Force officer, and getting close to them puts his life at risk. But Marine Force One plays by their own rules . . . and they play for keeps.
