Four new tales of Doctors Catt and Fisher... 
 
Scholars, shopkeepers, collectors... aficionados. Obtainers of rare antiquities; relic hunters who can't resist a lead, even when it takes them into terrible danger. There's always an opportunity to be found amid the confusion, in the wake of the terrible Kinslayer War. There's always a deal to be done, a tomb to open, a precious thing to... obtain. 
 
From encounters with the monstrous Vathesk to exploring new worlds; from wielding great power to do great good, to unearthing dark things best left lost. If you need the experts, if you can find your way to their Cherivell shop, maybe you can hire Doctors Catt and Fisher.

The Tales of Catt and Fisher

Katherine Addison

Murder, Politics and Intrigue. 
 
When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead. 
 
Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. Now he lives in the City of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference. 
 
 He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honestly will not permit him to live quietly.

The Witness for the Dead

Tom  Beckerlegge

Cadenza is the City of Words, a city run by poets, its skyline dominated by the steepled towers of its libraries, its heart beating to the stamp and thrum of the printing presses in the Printing Quarter. Carlo Mazzoni, a young wordsmith arrives at the city gates intent on making his name as the bells ring out with the news of the death of the city's poet-leader. Instead, he finds himself embroiled with the intrigues of a city in turmoil, the looming prospect of war with their rival Venice ever-present. A war that threatens not only to destroy Cadenza but remove it from history altogether...

The Carnival of Ash

Alex Livingston

When gambler and failed magician Valen Quinol is given the opportunity to play in the Forbearance Game-the invitation-only game where players gamble with secrets-he can't resist. Or refuse, as it turns out...  Wedged between the empires of Cadogna and L'Ombre, tiny Valtiffe holds on tightly to its independence-and to the opportunities for trade, politics and smuggling it offers. But powerful forces are bearing&amp;nbsp;down on the island nation, and soon Valen and his misfit crew  are caught up in a game where the fates of whole countries are at stake, and lives are as easily discarded as playing cards. 

The Knave of Secrets

Premee Mohamed

Seven years ago, the last survivor of Earth crashed through uncountable dimensions and fetched up in a strange new world. Now Nick Prasad owes his life and livelihood to the royal family that employs him as a prophet, even though they are servants of the Ancient Ones who destroyed his home.  When a long-expected war breaks out, he's eager to help organize troops and supplies... until he's approached by a spy who claims to possess a secret that could end the reign of the Ancient Ones forever. The first step is jailbreaking a god who's probably been locked up a little too long (and that's the easy part).  Nick must choose between joining a fragile resistance founded on secrets and lies, or revealing it to the enemies he's sworn to serve. But if everything works, there might be a chance to free the entire multiverse from the grasp of the Ancient Ones... both past and future.

Jadie Jang

San Francisco has a Monkey King - and she's kinda freaked out. 
 
Barista, activist, and were-monkey Maya McQueen was well on her way to figuring herself out. Well, part of the way. 25% of the way. If you squint. 
 
But now the Bay Area is being shaken up. Occupy Wall Street has come home to roost; and on the supernatural side there's disappearances, shapeshifter murders, and the city's spirit trying to find its guardian. 
 
Maya doesn't have a lot of time before chaos turns up at her door, and she needs to solve all of her problems. Well, most of them. The urgent ones, anyhow. 
 
But who says the solutions have to be neat? Because Monkey is always out for mischief.

Monkey Around

Gavin G. Smith

When Vadim Scorlenski and his elite Spetznaz squad are sent to New York at the height of the Cold War, they're told it's a 'training exercise.' They discover, too late, that the 'practice' chemical weapon they're carrying is all too real. They go to their deaths... 
 
...and awaken to a city overwhelmed by the walking dead, even now spreading across the globe. Somehow holding onto their identities amid the mindless monsters, Scorlenski and his squad of zombie commandos set out to return to Russia. 
 
Someone's going to pay.

Spec Ops Z

Adrian Tchaikovsky

Ogres are bigger than you. Ogres are stronger than you. Ogres rule the world. 
 
It's always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call. Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. It's always been that way. It's the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes. 
 
But when the headman's son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlord's son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.

Ogres

Derek Kunsken

The Union-Congregate war rages onward and the Union's premier fighter pilots, the Homo Eridanus, start encountering deadly resistance from strange pilots on the Congregate side. Among wreckage, they find that new Congregate pilots aren't human, but Homo quantus, with strange wiring and AI connections. 
 
At the same time, the Puppets come to the Union with offers of an alliance for a dangerous price: the rescue of the geneticist Antonio Del Casal who is a captive at Venus, with over a hundred Homo quantus. 
The only one who might be able to break through the Congregate defences at Venus is a con man who has given up his profession.

Sexton Blake’s New Order

Alice James Books

Toni Windsor is trying to live a quiet life in the green and pleasant county of Staffordshire. She'd love to finally master the rules of croquet, acquire a decent boyfriend and make some commission as an estate agent. All that might have to wait, though, because there are zombies rising from their graves, vampires sneaking out of their coffins and a murder to solve. And it's all made rather more complicated by the fact that she's the one raising all the zombies. Oh, and she's dating one of the vampires too. It can't be the best decision she's ever made, but he's so pretty. Really, what's a girl meant to do?

Grave Secrets

C. S. E. Cooney

Life gets complicated when Death gets involved. 
 
To be born into a family of royal assassins pretty much guarantees that your life is going to be... rather unusual. Especially if, like Miscellaneous "Lanie" Stones, you also have a vicious allergy to all forms of violence and bloodshed, and an uncanny affinity for bringing the dead back to life. To make matters worse, family debt looms - a debt that will have to be paid sooner rather than later if Lanie and her sister are to retain ownership of the ancestral seat, Stones Manor. Lanie finds herself courted and threatened by powerful parties who would love to use her worryingly intimate relationship with the goddess of death for their own nefarious ends. But the goddess has other plans...
