Book description
Welcome to the Enderverse.When "Ender's Game" was first published as a novella twenty-five years ago few would have predicted that it would become one of the most successful ventures in publishing history.

Book description
A spellbinding love story about a man caught by the whims of time and the woman who must wait for his return.This is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences amusing, unpredictable, and devastating.The Time Traveler’s Wife is a story about fate, hope and belief, and more than that, it’s about the power of love to endure beyond the bounds of time.

Dungeons, dragons, hobbits and all manner of fantasy hold endless fascination for the techie crowd. Elements of sword and sorcery (wiz, daemon, etc.) have even made it into the technical lexicon, quite aside from the round of MUDs (multiple user domains) and other role playing games. So the idea that a programmer, thrust into an alternate dimension where magic works, can make it as a wizard is both appealing to the target audience and completely unsurprising. Anyone with the slightest familiarity with UNIX and the Internet will understand the technical references herein. (To make it easier for the novice to identify them, they are all printed in bold type.) What I'm not sure of is the reason that said references are all garbled. Of...
