Clive Barker Abarat 2: Days of Magic, Nights of War Pbk published November 2006 by Voyager at £7.99 ISBN: 0007227728

This work is a dazzling fantasy adventure for all ages. The Abarat is a magical otherworld composed on an archipelago of twenty-five islands - one for each hour of the day, plus an island out of time. Candy Quackenbush, escaping her dull, dull life from the most boring place in our world, Chickentown, USA, finds that in the Abarat, she has another existence entirely, one which links her to marvels and mysteries; and even to murder! In this, the second volume in Clive Barker's extraordinary fantasy for both adults and children, Candy's adventures in the amazing world of the Abarat are getting more stranger by the Hour. Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, has sent his henchmen to capture her. Why? She wonders. What would Carrion want with a girl from Minnesota? And why is Candy beginning to feel that the world of the Abarat is familiar to her? Why can she speak words of magic she doesn't even remember learning? There is a mystery here. And Carrion, along with his fiendish grandmother, Mater Motley, suspects that whatever Candy is, she could spoil his plans to take control of the Abarat. Now Candy's companions must race against time to save her from the clutches of Carrion, and she must solve the mystery of her past before the forces of Night and Day clash and Absolute Midnight descends upon the islands. A final war is about to begin. And Candy is going to need to make some choices that will change her life forever!

Terry Goodkind Phantom Pbk published December 2006 by Voyager at £12.99 ISBN: 0007145640

Anne McCaffrey 'A real born storyteller' .

This is the next book in the "Sword of Truth" series from bestselling author, Terry Goodkind. It is a fantasy adventure on a grand scale, featuring the popular wizard-hero, Richard Cypher.
Terry Goodkind's first novel, "Wizard's First Rule" (1994), established him immediately as a major voice on the epic fantasy scene. Subsequent books in the "Sword of Truth" series have climbed steadily up the international bestseller lists. The saga of "The Sword of Truth" started growing in Goodkind's mind during the early 1990s, while he was building his house in the forests of the northeastern U.S. "It started with the character of Kahlan, and grew from that seed," he recalls. "It really became a haunting experience. As soon as I started writing "Wizard's First Rule", I knew writing was my calling. I've found something to which I truly want to dedicate my life."

Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school, one of his many interests on the way to becoming a writer. Besides a career in wildlife art, he has been a cabinet maker, violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world — each with its own story to tell, he says. In 1983 Goodkind moved to the forested mountains he loves. There, in the woods near the ocean, he built the house where he and his wife, Jeri, live, and came at last to tell his own stories.
