West-Afrika, de voormalige Belgische kolonie Terre Diamantée. Op het eerste gezicht een politiek stabiel en redelijk welvarend republiekje, dat voor liet grootste deel bestaat uit tropisch regenwoud. Het land beschikt over een uniek natuurreservaat, waar zeldzame diersoorten ongestoord kunnen leven. David Trowbridge, een Amerikaanse veldbioloog, verricht in deze jungle onderzoek naar een uitermate zeldzame luipaardsoort. Gewapend met de meest geavanceerde technische apparatuur hoopt hij - voor het eerst in de geschiedenis - het leefpatroon van dit roofdier in kaart te brengen. Zijn thuisbasis moet hij delen met een groepje Belgische biologen - maar de sfeer is gespannen, ronduit vijandig zelfs. Na een wekenlang verblijf in het oerwoud keert Trowbridge terug naar de basis, waar hij een bloedbad aantreft: de meeste biologen Zijn afgeslacht. Onderzoek wijst in de richting van rituele moord door de lokale bevolking; David wordt gedwongen het land halsoverkop te verlaten. Maar hij laat zich niet verjagen, daarvoor is zijn onderzoek te ver gevorderd. In het diepste geheim dringt hij weer door tot het oerwoud. Maar ook tot de gruwelijke waarheid die het in zich verbergt...

If cats were asked how they would truly like their owners to show affection, what would they say? Are we giving them what they want? Is just loving them ever going to be enough? Can we love them too much? Vicky Halls, author of the bestselling CAT CONFIDENTIAL, has devoted her life to studying the human/feline relationship. In CAT COUNSELLOR she explores the origins of this emotional bond and shows how miraculous results can be achieved by merely changing the way we relate to our cats.

Adelia Aguilar is a rare thing in medieval Europe -- a woman who has trained as a doctor. Her specialty is the study of corpses, a skill that must be concealed if she is to avoid accusations of witchcraft.

Valentine, a wanderer who knows nothing except his name, finds himself on the fringes of a great city, and joins a troupe of jugglers and acrobats; gradually, he remembers that he is the Coronal Valentine, executive ruler of the vast world of Majipoor, and all its peoples, human and otherwise... Lord Valentine's Castle was the first of Robert Silverberg's novels about Majipoor, in which he has for two decades explored the question of responsibility and authority; much SF and fantasy plays with constructed dreams of feudalism, but Silverberg asks the important questions of how a ruler can be a good person, and how can the person who rules all be free themselves. Inventively, Valentine's learned skills as a juggler become a fruitful metaphor for much of what he needs to know as he campaigns to reclaim his throne from a usurping imposter: Silverberg explores the implications of what might have been a mere narrative cliché. His portrayal of a huge light world where technology and magic have blended, and where different species and cultures have engineered a diverse harmony, is not the least attractive of SF's utopias; the sheer scale of the canvas gives Valentine's wanderings their own wild poetry. --Roz Kaveney(less)

On the night of her thirteenth birthday, Jane Howard made a vow to her warring parents - she would never get married and she would never have children. But life, as Jane comes to discover, is a profoundly random business. Many years and many lives later, she is a professor in Boston, in love with a brilliant, erratic man named Theo. And then Jane falls pregnant. Motherhood turns out to be a great welcome surprise - but when a devastating turn of events tears her existence apart she has no choice but to flee all she knows and leave the world. Just when she has renounced life itself, the disappearance of a young girl pulls her back from the edge and into an obsessive search for some sort of personal redemption. Convinced that she knows more about the case than the police do, she is forced to make a decision - stay hidden or bring to light a shattering truth. Douglas Kennedy's exceptional new novel is a portrait of the way we live now, of the many routes we follow in the course of a single life, and of the arbitrary nature of destiny. Like his previous highly acclaimed novels it is also a compulsive read - and one which speaks volumes about the dilemmas we face in trying to navigate our way through all that fate throws in our path.
