Sharrow was once the leader of a personality-attuned combat team in one of the sporadic little commercial wars in the civilisation based around the planet Golter. Now she is hunted by the Huhsz, a religious cult which believes that she is the last obstacle before the faith’s apotheosis, and her only hope of escape is to find the last of the apocalyptically powerful Lazy Guns before the Huhsz find her. Her journey through the exotic Golterian system is a destructive and savage odyssey into her past, and that of her family and of the system itself.
Incredible Visual Illusions (You won't believe your eyes!)
Incredible Visual Illusions is the most comprehensive and amazing collection of optical illusions ever assembled, with close to three hundred different illusions, many of which have never before been published. You will be amazed as images flash and scintillate before your eyes, other images disappear right before your eyes, other images disappear right in front of your eyes, size and shape lose their meaning, and you see motion where there is no motion.
Beyond the Gap (2007) is a Prehistorical Fantasy. The Glacier had been covering the northern plains forever. Only myths tell of a time before this mountain of ice. Legends also speak of a Golden Shrine -- sacred to the gods -- on the other side of the Glacier, but few believe these old tales. The Glacier had been retreating even before the founding of the old Raumsdalian Empire. Over the centuries, a gap in the great Glacier has been extending further north.
