Going Postal:: The 50 Warning Signs

Going Postal:: The 50 Warning Signs

Does your boss " cc" all his correspondence to the Angel of Death? Does your secretary show up for a meeting with dynamite strapped to her waist? Does Ralph in accounting have long conversations with nonexistent folks on his speakerphone? Is the coat room packed with AK-47s?
If you answered " yes" to any of these questions, then someone in your office may be on the verge of " going postal." The warning signs of this affliction are unique. To date, fifty symptoms have been documented. There is no cure for this disease at present. The best advice: lay low and hope for the best.
For every worker in a high-stress job, Going Postal is the must-have stocking stuffer of the fall.

Destiny s Road

Destiny s Road

Destiny s Road

Wide and smooth, the Road was seared into planet Destiny's rocky surface by the fusion drive of the powered landing craft, Cavorite. The Cavorite deserted the original interstellar colonists, stranding them without hope of contacting Earth.

Now, descendants of those pioneers have many questions about the Road, but no settler who has gone down it has ever returned. For Jemmy Bloocher, a young farm boy, the questions burn too hot--and he sets out to uncover the many mysteries of Destiny's Road.

The Family Tree

The Family Tree

The Family Tree

THE ONCE FERTILE EARTH OF DORA HENRY'S CHILDHOOD HAS BEEN UNDERVALUED AND OVERDEVELOPED. NOW NATURE, APPARENTLY, HAS DECIDED TO FIGHT BACK.

Police officer Dora Henry is investigating the bizarre murders of three geneticists. Meanwhile, strange things are happening everywhere she turns. Weeds are becoming trees; trees are becoming forests. Overnight, a city is being transformed into a wild and verdant place.

And, strangest of all, Dora can somehow communicate with the rampaging flora.

A potential civilization-ending catastrophe is in the making. The nearer Dora gets to a murderer--and to the truth--the more seemingly disparate events begin to entwine. And the answers she seeks today to the salvation of humankind may lie in afar distant future. . .one which is suddenly much closer than anyone imagines.

An exhilarating and enchanting novel that deftly combines fantastic invention with insight and a social conscience, from one of the most lyrical and important voices in contemporary speculative fiction.
