# SKUID: The product's (S)tock (K)eeping (U)nit identity. All

# NAME: The product's title. It should identify the product
# briefly, but completely enough to avoid confusion with like
# products. Eg. "Shroud of Turin", "High back chair rocker".
# PRICE: The price of the product. Its format presumes a decimal
# point a la "DOLLARS.CENTS". Eg. "99.95". Dollar signs and other
# currency glyphs should _not_ be included; if the PRICE begins with
# a non-numeric character Hazel will interpret it as being "free".
# DESC: [Optional] A more verbose description of the product than
# given in NAME.
# IMAGE: [Optional] A partial URL pointing to the location of a
# product photo. It should be relative to the catalog HTTP_DOC_ROOT
# given in the config file.
# Note DESC and IMAGE are optional fields. You may add any number of
# fields to a product record for access within a product or detail
# loop as %HZI_FIELDNAME where FIELDNAME is, well, the field's name.
# Notes added by RMA 25 March 2003
# This iteration of the product file uses the "group" field, which allows
# a limited dynamic grouping of book by author name. Quoting from the Hazel
# documentation:
# A single group name. Products looped will be those with groupname as their GROUP field value.
# This is equivalent to a query loop with a spec of "+GROUP=groupname" -- with the
# restrictions that all products of a certain group must be contiguous in the products file,
# and there is a maximum of 100 matches. Better to buy a search key and use the query loop!

LONG_DESC: 'Smile a lot, yes, and then weep a little, and hold your breath, and wonder at the wisdom and the whimsy of it ...depending on how much you bring to it, the book is metaphor, it is fable; it makes a statement, has a moral, looks back at you, from time to time, like a mirror.' -- Theodore Sturgeon, TWILIGHT ZONE

ORGPRICE: 21.50
DESC: An anthropologist stumbles across a stunning secret that will put the very definition of humanity suddenly in doubt. 'Anyone who likes good hard science in their fiction will have to go a long way to find a better-done book.' --Locus
LONG_DESC: Are the bones buried there the remains of humans, or apes -- or something else? The answer will turn her life, and the world, upsidedown.
What the critics said about ORPHAN OF CREATION
'Allen's attention to detail is sterling...totally believable...well portrayed...dead accurate.... This book goes a long way toward doing for anthropology what Timescape did for high-energy particle physics: humanizing it, making its real workings accessible to a new audience. Anyone who likes good hard science in their fiction will have to go a long way to find a better-done book.' --Locus
'a novel that reminds us that moral and social evolution depends not only on our knowing where we are going, but remembering where we have been.' --Christian Science Monitor
'Allen's writing technique is a well-balanced blend of dialogue, action, description and narrative-each in proper proportion to the other... a fine read ... word of mouth will bring acclaim that is more than deserved.' --Otherrealms
Orphan of Creation takes an interesting scientific premise and lets it loose upon real human beings revealing to the reader a higher level of understanding of the world. Orphan is science and fiction; in examining the human condition, it does what both ideally intend to do.' --The New York Review of Science Fiction
'Mr.Allen has found an idea worthy of his talent. The book has that unmistakably correct feel of authenticity. A very readable as well as thoughtful story. Bravo to Mr.Allen for writing this risky book. Read it. Then pass it on to your mundane friends. With any luck, it will drive them crazy.' --Lan's Lantern

DESC: A good public relations man ought to be able to sell anything -- including a genocidal war! And Ted was one of the best PR men there was. He could take real pride in the job he was doing -- if only his conscience would stop getting in the way.
LONG_DESC: Ted was a good company man, with the right sort of home, the right sort of wife, and the right sort of attitude when it came to following orders. So he didn’t bat an eye when the Ganymede Corporation hired his firm to come up with a way to solve their little problem. It seems they’d discovered vast veins of power ore on Ganymede—but a population of utterly unreasonable aliens stood in the way. The good people of Earth wouldn’t stand for a savage war of conquest—unless, of course, someone could convince them that the Gannys deserved it, or better still, that the Gannys had started it. And the man who could do that would be someone an awful lot like Ted . . .

LONG_DESC: Lawyers in Space? Well, yes. It's a terrifying thought. But there are lawyers and lawyers. And then, there are Henry Carver and Waldo P. Burmeister. Sometimes it's not clear if their greatest skill lies in getting their clients out of trouble -- or getting themselves into it. Whether it's Waldo doggedly trying to escape The Dalmation of Faust or Henry's grim internal struggle against Parasites Lost, or the two working together, because so much is riding With the Knight Male, their adventures are sure to entertain every reader -- and lead most to consider a long time before daring to seek legal representation.

DESC: Nightside City will die in the coming dawn -- so why is someone trying to buy up the town? A blend of hard science fiction and hard-boiled film noir detective story.
LONG_DESC: 'The far-side of tidally-locked Epimethus seemed like a good site for a city, far from the destroying rays of a dangerously close sun. But the planet actually is rotating and the value of property and life in Nightside City is rapidly depreciating. Detective Carlisle Hsing is one of the many left in town with insufficient funds to move off-planet. But ... why is someone buying up all the doomed property? Is someone going to save the planet? Why keep it a secret? ...[Carlisle] Hsing is a believable heroine pursuing a slowly unwrapping mystery.' —Postviews

A very solid, professional piece of work.' —OtherRealms

What if visitors from an advanced civilization accidentally made it seem as if the Three Laws of Motion didn’t work as advertised -- and thus got Newton in very serious trouble with the authorities? And what if that was just the start of the trouble?
LONG_DESC: '. . . An alien genius has just discovered the three laws of motions—and landed in hot water with his nation’s established church because of them. This threat to set off his world’s scientific revolution happens just as visiting Earthfolk are using quasimatter objects, products that don’t behave according to the three laws of motion. Church hierarchs notice this and belittle the would-be Newton. . . . as nice a piece of work as anyone in the field has done.'

DESC: A Crown With a Mind of its Own...
When Liras-ven Tsormelezok set off into his garden that morning, he knew he could claim some sort of royal ancestry—but then, so could most of the rest of the population of Averidan. Therefore, being named King while pruning his klimflower vines was a trifle unexpected.
LONG_DESC: But that was only the first of the surprises waiting for Liras. For example, he discovered that the Crystal Crown of the Kings of Averidan could not only speak to him—it could kill him, if it decided he shouldn’t be king. And then were certain other inheritances from the late king: a war about which he knew nothing, and a royal bride-to-be with whom he could not speak. No wonder Liras decided to make a run for it...

DESC: War and wizardry, dark deeds and derring-do, matters of state and matters of the heart, and a dragon who thinks she's a sheep named Bernice ... Split Heirs is nonstop action and nonstop laughs from the king and queen of humorous fantasy, the funniest high fantasy epic since Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
LONG_DESC: Home of elegance and culture, the Ancient and Honorable Kingdom of the Hydrangeans traces its history back through thousands of generations of refined and noble (if slightly ineffectual) blood. Most recently, the Ancient and Honorable Kingdom of Hydrangeans has been conquered-by the mighty and fearsome (if slightly moronic) Gorgorians, led by the barbarian warrior Gudge.
Now a tiny rump of bold Hydrangean exiles prowls the forests under the command of the mysterious and conspiratorial (if slightly indecisive) Black Weasel, determined to retake the capital and expel the invaders. Any day now.
Now King Gudge the First reigns at the Palace of Divinely Tranquil (if slightly confused) Thoughts. Now Queen Artemisia, beautiful (if slightly unwilling) Hydrangean bride to Gudge I, hides in the most isolated room in the Palace, eager to give birth to his long-awaited male heir...
Now the very stones of the castle ring with Artemisia's terrible shriek: "Three?" Now Queen Artemisia contemplates the charming Gorgorian belief that triplets are a sure sign of the mother's adultery -- and the charming Gorgorian punishment for adultery: death.
Now Queen Artemisia sends her faithful servant Ludmilla on a secret, desperate mission to her outlaw cousin the Black Weasel, bearing with her the infant girl and the younger boy. Now it's a pity Ludmilla's eyesight is so bad, she takes both boys instead...

LONG_DESC: The settled universe is filled with terraformed worlds linked by timeshafts--temporal wormholes in deep space. These timeshafts are the only way to travel the vast distances between the stars. As passengers and crew are placed in cold sleep, their ships spend decades crossing the interstellar void -- traveling the wormholes and arriving at their destinations just days after leaving home. The Chronologic Patrol is charged with guarding these timeshaft wormholes and preventing time paradoxes at all costs. But one critical mission ends in disaster. As ships carrying relief supplies to a crippled planet approach a timeshaft, they are mercilessly set upon by mysterious Invaders. Anton Koffield tries to stop the invasion by destroying the timeshaft. Marooned eighty years in the future, he lives as a cursed figure, the villain who killed a world. And his odyssey through time has only just begun....

DESC: The Godspeed Drive. It is the faster than-than-light spaceship drive that made human colonization of the galaxy possible. But it was not invented by humans - it was found in the wreck of an alien ship that drifted into the solar system.
LONG_DESC: No one understood everything about how it worked, but it linked a hundred star systems together, and made even marginal planets like Erin in the Maveen system habitable. But one day the Godspeed ships stopped coming. Erin and the Forty Worlds around Maveen were cut off from Interstellar commerce, confined to the slow insystem shuttles that were the only spaceships that were left at Muldoon Port. Jay Hara grew up on isolated Erin, longing for the legendary days when Godspeed ships spanned the galaxy, and a young man's dreams could take him to the stars. So when an old, sick spacer named Paddy Enderton showed Jay some very strange devices and told him that he had found a Godspeed base out in the asteroid belt, Jay was eager to believe, despite the doubts of his uncle Duncan and his friend, Dr. Eileen Xavier. But when Jay's farm was raided, his animals killed and his mother beaten, by men searching for Enderton, he became convinced that there was some truth in Enderton's ravings.They won financing from the university, and have chartered a ship to take them out to the asteroid belt, in search of a small moving rock marked as Paddys Fortune in Enderton's navigation device. But the ship is not what they think it is. And the crew and captain have a very different, and deadly, agenda once they find the Godspeed base.

DESC: A New Approach To Printing And Marketing Books For Publishers And Self-Publishing Authors
LONG_DESC: The basic business model of the book publishing industry remained largely changed between the Great Depression and the turn of the Millennium. Print a lot of books, try to get them reviewed so that stores would stock them on consignment, advertise, then hope that they don't come back as returns. Small imprints and self-publishers were reduced to begging distributors to accept their titles at discounts of 60 per cent or more, and were expected to accept returns in any condition and quantity. ŤPint-on-demand book publishing, combined with short-discount distribution and Internet marketing, is turning the publishing business on its head. For the first time, authors are finding that they can launch their own publishing businesses and earn more from their writing than they would with a major trade publisher. Small imprints can invest their scarce resources in acquiring, designing and promoting new titles, rather than gambling on tons of books that cost money to keep in inventory. This book details the new method with which authors and publishers alike can use POD to cut costs and increase profits, while reaching new readers through the magic of Internet marketing.

It is a bench trial--there is no jury--the prosecution and defense present the case directly to the judge. However, the situation is complicated because the Senator, the defense attorney, the judge, and a covering reporter, are acquaintances from the 1960s, with private ties that may have no place in a controversial case. As the trial unfolds, Turow delves into the personal familial relationships of his primary players, creating a complex emotional novel coupled with a thrilling courtroom drama.

When Anna's sister, Molly, sends her a packet of letters from her great-great-aunt who lived at the fort with her husband, a career soldier, Anna's fantasy life is filled with visions of this long-ago time. A mysterious boat explosion - and the discovery of unidentifiable body parts - keeps her anchored to the present, Anna finds crimes of past and present closing in on her. Cut off from the mainland by miles of water, poor phone service, and sketchy radio contact, Anna must find answers.

Or even Julia's persistent suitor, Colonel Dodge, who's all too eager to saddle up and charge to her rescue? Though the wedding goes off without a hitch, Sarah and Alex are reined in from their honeymoon when the stable turns up a gruesome corpse ... and it doesn't take more than horse sense to recognize foul play.
