>> Engine Summer
>> by John Crowley
>>
>> Born into the community of Truthful Speakers one thousand years after the
>> Storm, he was raised on stories of the old days -- a world filled with
>> saints, a world in which all things were possible, a world which finally
>> destroyed itself. In love with a beautiful woman, Rush journeys far and
>> learns much. Taken into the society of Dr. Boots's List, attached to the
>> old mysteries, Rush grows closer to a sainthood he could never have
>> imagined.

>> 2000 -
>> Perdido Street Station
>> by China Mieville
>>
>> Beneath the towering bleached ribs of a dead, ancient beast lies the city
>> of New Crobuzon, where the unsavory deal is stranger to no one--not even to
>> Isaac, a gifted and eccentric scientist who has spent a lifetime quietly
>> carrying out his unique research. But when a half-bird, half-human creature
>> known as the Garuda comes to him from afar, Isaac is faced with challenges
>> he has never before encountered. Though the Garuda's request is
>> scientifically daunting, Isaac is sparked by his own curiosity and an
>> uncanny reverence for this curious stranger. Soon an eerie metamorphosis
>> will occur that will permeate every fiber of New Crobuzon--and not even the
>> Ambassador of Hell will challenge the malignant terror it evokes
>>

>> The Shadow of the Gods
>> by John Gwynne
>>
>> Set in a brand-new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic and
>> bloody vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga
>> from bestselling author John Gwynne.
>>
>> After the gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm
>> of their fall shattered the land of Vigri?.
>>
>> Now a new world is rising, where power-hungry jarls feud and monsters
>> stalk the woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods
>> still hold great power for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them
>> out.
>>
>> Now, as whispers of war echo across the mountains and fjords, fate
>> follows in the footsteps of three people: a huntress on a dangerous quest,
>> a noblewoman who has rejected privilege in pursuit of battle fame, and a
>> thrall who seeks vengeance among the famed mercenaries known as the
>> Bloodsworn.
>>
>> All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under
>> the shadow of the gods . . .
