Publisher's Summary:

Jasmine Na'Darod lived a simple life with her parents and older sister on the family's farm. She never strayed far from home until the ill-fated Blood Moon arose, basking the country of Caristan with a terrible, sickening drought.

When her mother falls ill, Jasmine and her family are forced to leave home in desperate search of a cure. During their journey, a series of tragic events will change Jasmine's life forever.

With her former life shrouded and forgotten, Jasmine embraces a new path granted by an unlikely stranger, who, ironically, practices the Art of death and undeath.

As Jasmine is drawn to this enigma of a man, she soon realizes there is more to him than what she initially perceived - his true motives are beyond anything she could ever imagine.

Deeply compelling and morbidly intriguing, The Necromancer's Apprentice is a beautifully-narrated gothic fantasy with memorable characters.

Families are placed on farm land with only hand tools for growing crops. Food supplies must be supplemented by hunting and gathering. Housing has returned to pioneering expedients.

The McCandless family finds old skills are required, must be relearned, and new defenses are necessary to survive with few resources.

Publisher's Summary:

Chaz Eades is on the mission of a lifetime - the first to an alien solar system far beyond our own - and it's a one-way trip. When he learns that contact with Earth has been lost, he wants to help reestablish communication. But the commander insists on science first and contact later, the crew is inexplicably hostile, and Chaz finds himself painfully isolated. Soon he realizes that there's a secret at the heart of the crew's troubles that is much larger than any he could have imagined.

All bets are off, and he's not at all prepared for the mission he faces now: survival.

Editorial Reviews:

Narrator James Patrick Cronin's serious performance captures the initial disorientation of Chaz Eades as he wakes up aboard the Cassiopeia on the first mission to an alien solar system. Chaz is troubled when he finds out that the crew has woken up days before him, and not only that, they seem to deeply mistrust him. Cronin gives Chaz a thoughtful and intelligent voice, and his gradual realizations about strange inconsistencies - including his missing memories and the loss of an antenna that transmits data from Earth - are often gasp-inducing. As Chaz finds himself more and more isolated, he realizes that the only mission that should matter to him is survival.

If parents could easily and affordably engineer their children the way they desire, what would the world be like? Engineer Your Perfect Child explores that future. This fast paced yet philosophically intriguing sci-fi audiobook reveals what genetic engineering has not figured out yet: How to turn a child into a genius!

In 2025, the whole scientific world is chasing that elusive goal. The US, China and Peru are leading the way. Ace Peruvian scientist, Dr. Indira Rico, is a lifelong member of the EYPC cult "Engineer Your Perfect Child" (where children get trained from infancy for a specific career). She has nearly perfected a nanobot system to 'copy' genius neural networks from one person's brain into another. She doesn't realize, however, that she has a Chinese spy on her research team who is siphoning off her breakthrough ideas.

In the lab, things go terribly wrong. Indira fries the brains of several street kid test subjects. A burly priest-in-training turned gang leader, Pedro, attempts to ride in and rescue his beloved street kids from the mad scientist. Is it love at first sight when these opposing worlds meet? Indira is kidnapped to China. The smitten Pedro and his nun friends must travel far, risking life and limb to save her. Meanwhile a creepy US Senator and Indira's abusive boyfriend are trying to kidnap her back. The race is on to get control of Indira and her groundbreaking system, and the winner will take all!

Governor Saxa, of the great city of Carce, a fantasy analog of ancient Rome, is rusticating at his villa. When Saxa's son Varus accompanies Coryluson a visit to the household of his father, Crispus, a retired military commander, Saxa graciously joins the party with his young wife Hedia, daughter Alphena, and a large entourage of his servants, making it a major social triumph for Crispus.

But on the way to the event, something goes amiss. Varus, who has been the conduit for supernatural visions before, experiences another: giant crystalline worms devouring the entire world.

Soon the major characters are each involved in supernatural events caused by a struggle between two powerful magicians, both mentored by the deceased poet and mage Vergil, one of whom wants to destroy the world and the other who wishes to stop him. But which is which? There is a complex web of human and supernatural deceit to be unraveled.

This new novel in David Drake's ongoing chronicles of Carce, The Books of the Elements, is a gripping and intricate work of fantasy.
