(W) Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins
Taking a midnight stroll along the Hudson River, Mike Hammer gets more than he bargained for: a partial corpse on an ice floe. The body is that of a butler to a millionaire-also now deceased.

Over 225 million copies of Spillane's books have sold internationally since first being published in 1947. He was the bestselling mystery writer of the 20th century (even out-selling Agatha Christie).

LAST STAND HC (C: 0-1-0)
(W) Mickey Spillane
When legendary mystery writer Mickey Spillane died in 2006, he left behind the manuscript of one last novel he'd just completed: THE LAST STAND. He asked his friend and colleague (and fellow Mystery Writers of America Grand Master) Max Allan Collins to take responsibility for finding the right time and place to publish this final book. Now, on the hundredth anniversary of Spillane's birth, his millions of fans will at last get to read THE LAST STAND, together with a second never-before-published work, this one from early in Spillane's career: the feverish crime novella A BULLET FOR SATISFACTION.
A tarnished former cop goes on a crusade to find a politician's killer and avoid the .45-caliber slug with his name on it. A pilot forced to make an emergency landing in the desert finds himself at the center of a struggle between FBI agents, unsavory fortune hunters, and members of the local Indian tribe to control a mysterious find that could mean wealth and power – or death. Two substantial new works filled with Spillane's muscular prose and the gorgeous women and two-fisted action the author was famous for, topped off by an introduction from Max Allan Collins describing the history of these lost manuscripts and his long relationship with the writer who was his mentor, his hero, and for much of the last century the bestselling author in the world.

(W) Deborah A. Wolf
In the heart of the singing desert, the people are fading from the world. Mothers bear few live children, the warriors and wardens are hard-pressed to protect those who remain, and the vash'ai—the great cats who have called the people kithren for as long as there have been stories— bond with fewer humans each year.
High above, the Sun Dragon sings a song of life and love, while far below, the Earth Dragon slumbers as she has since the beginning of time. Her sleep is fitful, and from the darkness of her dreams come whispers of war… and death.
Sulema is a newly minted warrior of the people and a true Ja'Akari—a daughter of the unforgiving desert. When a mysterious young man appears in her home of Aish Kalumm, she learns that the Dragon King is dying in distant Atualon. As the king fades, so does the magic that sings the Earth Dragon to sleep.
There are those who wish to keep the dragon trapped in endless slumber. Others would tap her power to claim it for their own. And there are those who would have her wake, so they might laugh as the world burns. (STL073656) (C: 0-1-0)

RELICS MMPB (C: 0-1-0)
(W) Tim Lebbon
Beneath the surface of our world, mythological creatures still exist-people pay fortunes for a sliver of dragon bone, an angel's wing.

Mary Rock is a criminal who also wants to find Vince, to kill him. Angela and her team must stop this horrific trade, yet they face a growing menace as the creatures begin to fight back.
Tim Lebbon is an author who increasingly is becoming associated with Titan, thanks to his tie-in novels (especially Alien) and originals (incl. Coldbrook).
Tim has a short story that has been filmed with star Nicholas Cage, a Star Wars novel to his credit, and an Alien-Predator trilogy for Titan. He was a New York Times bestseller with the adaptation of the film 30 Days of Night.
This trilogy of tightly inter-related dark fantasies builds upon Tim's skills as a horror writer, and will build the Relics series into a brand of its own.
Tim is a regular blogger and tweeter, and has won both the Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award. (STL074021) (C: 0-1-0)
