New Releases by Robert Jordan

The thrilling conclusion to Robert Jordan''s acclaimed Fallon trilogy traces the family''s fortunes as it expands westward. The Fallon Legacy is the tale of a father and son who have never met but who share a destiny and drive born of their blood, with one struggling to hold our nation together and the other to expand it. Well past his prime, Robert Fallon now fights the battles of politics to save the country he cherishes from civil war. It is 1832, and the high tariffs that protect northern industry are crippling the South. President Andrew Jackson thinks force is the answer to the South''s threats of secession. Robert must pay a final-hour visit to Washington, as an appeal to Jackson and Congress to pass a compromise tariff before the country is torn apart. Like his father and grandfather before him, James Fallon is a man of vision and iron will, determined to succeed. But where his forebears were men of the sea, he is a man of the land, the vast land of northern Mexico--a land called Texas. James sets out for Stephen Austin''s colony of Americans with dreams of a horse-breeding empire. The land is harsh enough, but he soon learns that Fallon past harbors deadly shadows--Cordelia Applegate and Gerard Fourrier. With political influence, hired pistoleros, and Comanches, they seek to destroy all Fallons. But James has more pressing troubles. He and the other settlers, including Jim Bowie, Austin, and Sam Houston, are outraged as their rights of property come and go with the shifting winds of Mexican politics. Rumors of Santa Anna''s rise to power in Mexico City have driven the Americans to prepare to fight for the land that has absorbed their sweat and blood. Santa Anna will soon be on the march to drive the yanquis out of Mexico, and events are moving swiftly toward the conflagration that will give birth to the Republic of Texas.

The story of merchant Captain Robert Fallon and the events surrounding the War of 1812.

From phenomenally successful fantasy author Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time), writing as Reagan O''Neal, comes The Fallon Blood, a splendid story of the American Revolution. In 1765, Michael Fallon, an Irishman on the run from brutal English overlords, makes his way to Charleston, South Carolina, as an indentured servant. Bound over to Thomas Carver, a successful merchant, he quickly shows a knack for trade -- and a disturbing attraction to Carver''s beautiful, sensual daughter, Elizabeth. With luck and intelligence -- and not without bloodshed -- he rises into the rice-planting aristocracy of the Carolina Lowcountry, where a frontier spirit pulses beneath the superficial trappings of an agrarian society that is heading rapidly toward revolution. Michael Fallon hopes for peace. But the winds of war are rising, and the planter must become a privateer.... And the early dalliance with Elizabeth leaves a bitter aftertaste.... This novel follows the less familiar Southern course of the war, including the battles of Cowpens, King''s Mountain, and Eutaw Springs (the bloodiest battle on the continent until Shiloh); and brings onto center stage such notables as Ben Franklin, Cornwallis, the Swamp Fox Francis Marion, the British Colonel "Butcher" tarleton, Colonel William Moultrie, the Marquis de Lafayette -- and a true cast of thousands!

La Roue du Temps entrelace les fils des destinées et poursuit sa révolution. Le Mal - secondé par ses séides, fidèles de Shai''tan, Myrddraals, Trollocs, Draghkars, et par ses espions, rats et corbeaux - ne cesse de tendre ses pièges. Et pourtant, le plus dangereux de ces pièges pâlit face à celui que préparent les Enfants de la Lumière, prétendus défenseurs du Bien. Les incidents de parcours s''annoncent nombreux pour Rand et ses compagnons : leurs ennemis, un instant déroutés, s''acharnent à nouveau. La petite troupe, rejointe par Nynaeve qui estime de son devoir de ramener les quatre jeunes au bercail, se voit dispersée. Perrin et Egwene s''avancent en aveugles dans une contrée inhabitée où ils rencontrent un homme étrange que protège une meute de loups ; Rand et Mat continuent vers la ville de Caemlyn, premier lieu de rendez-vous sur la route de Tar Valon, cité des Aes Sedai, où ils seront enfin en sécurité ; et cependant, Lan. Moiraine et Nynaeve recherchent fiévreusement leurs traces pour les rejoindre à temps. Un temps qui presse, car l''un des compagnons est peut-être le Dragon réincarné, celui qui doit atteindre l''œil du Monde et trouver le moyen de vaincre les Ténèbres. Et l''œil du Monde lui-même, quelle est donc sa véritable nature ? Et quels secrets recèle-t-il ?

At the heart of Gary Snyder''s poetics rests the concept of «original mind» that state of mind which has been sensually, morally, and spiritually purified so that it can directly experience the universe. The powers of «original mind» are most fully displayed by the Shaman, the Bodhisattva, and the poet - figures which play major roles in Myths and Texts and Mountains and Rivers Without End. Myths explores one of the fundamental issues of our time, the destruction of nature, and sets forth a series of sophisticated steps by which humans can achieve moral and spiritual harmony with it. Mountains and Rivers comprises a series of experimental poems that expand upon themes adumbrated in Myths.

"Numerous authors have penned Conan yarns down the years--none with more consistency or better technique than Jordan."--Kirkus Reviews Conan defies the sorcerous power of the Cult of Doom for the sake of a beautiful young woman known only as Yasbet. From the glory of fabled Aghrapur to the demon-haunted wastes of the Blasted Lands, Conan proves himself the greatest hero of a bygone era of high adventure.

In the Third Age the bestial Trollocs hunt the villagers and the Dark One, imprisoned by the Creator at the moment of creation, is now stirring in Shayol Ghul.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Strangers have come to the village of Emond''s Field, located in Two Rivers, during the Bel Tine holiday. With theses strangers come stories of the outside world: tales of war and of a man who claims to be the Dragon Reborn, the one prophesized to save the world, and also to destroy it in his madness. For it is known that no man can channel the One Power without going horribly insane.

Strangers, a Gleeman, a peddler from afar and even fireworks might possibly make this the best Bel Tine ever in Two Rivers. Well, if it wasn''t for the bestial Trollocs and fearsome Myrddraal waiting to attack Two Rivers in search of the Dragon Reborn... Moiraine Damodred, an Aes Sedai, and her Warder, al''Lan Mandragoran, are all that stand in the way of the Darkness that has descended on Two Rivers. And Rand al''Thor and his two friends, Matrim Cauthon and Perrin Aybara, must leave the only home they have ever known if they want to spare their loved ones from any further danger.

We step back a moment to detail the appearances of two key characters in the WHEEL OF TIME saga: The Peddler and The Gleeman. Edmond''s Field, while preparing for the annual Bel Tine Festival, receives two more very important guests. One is Padan Fain, the peddler who travels from town to town in his wagon, bringing goods to trade as well as news and rumors from abroad, including one of war and a false Dragon. The other is gleeman Thom Merrilin, arriving in his patchwork cloak, ready to entertain and thrill the crowds with his song and dance. Both are not as they appear, and soon will be swept up into events neither could foresee...

Moiraine has at last delivered Rand and the others safely to the realm of the Green Man, where the Eye of the World rests and the last battle shall take place. But they are not the only ones who have found this place -- Balthamel and Aginor, two of the Forsaken, have found their way there as well, and now they know precisely who they''re looking for. Robert Jordan''s epic WHEEL OF TIME continues here!

In the latest chapter of Robert Jordan''s The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World, Lan rescues Perrin and Egwene from their Whitecloak captors, delivering them back into Moiraine''s hands. There''s no time to waste - they need to find Rand and Mat, now, before it''s too late!

Ba''alzamon, the Great Lord of the Dark, has finally found the one he''s looking for - Rand - and they finally meet, face to face... It''s the penultimate chapter of Robert Jordan''s masterpiece, The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World!

Rand Al''Thor was just trying to get a look at Logain without being noticed himself, and took a spill into a garden where he meets a young sister and brother - Elayne and Gawyn. After Elayne tends to Rand''s wounds, he discovers that she is the daughter to the queen, and heir to the throne - not the most inconspicuous of moves on Rand''s part. And when the palace guard discover him and bring him before the queen, what will happen then? Find out in the latest installment of Robert Jordan''s WHEEL OF TIME: THE EYE OF THE WORLD!
