Gods and mortals alike succumb to gambling fever aboard the Peace of Boona on its yearly baccarat cruise, and would-be lovers Max and Eleanor, children of two of the game's celebrated fixtures, are alternately seduced and repulsed by the frenzy. From up above, Kronos, Apollo and other celestial powerhouses dabble in earthly matters as the Titan Argus competes with the mortal D.A. Holon for the strumpet La Petite's love in Mark Broderick's madcap first book, Baccarat: Nine Lives South of Boona. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.


Book Description
Hell Hath Such Fury

On the world of his birth he's all but a god, but when an ancient evil banishes him to the depths of the Nine Hells, he's just another lost soul. Elminster, Sage of Shadowdale, Chosen of Mystra, faces his most desperate struggle--to survive, to escape, to cling to his very sanity--and all the forces of the inferno are rallied against him.

The top-selling book by the creator of the Forgotten Realms universe is now in paperback!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

There is no greater blasphemy than this...Whether the Lady of the Weave heard and assisted him or not, life ahead was not going to be pleasant for Elminster Aumar. He was going to have to spend all of his magic healing this rift, for the love of Toril that so seldom loved him, be burned and blasted in the doing, perhaps fail and be torn apart - and if he succeeded, his reward would be to plunge at the last down into Avernus, bereft of spells and defenseless. Yet his duty was clear. Hell thirsts for power, and what power the great Elminster holds. What a prize this mighty soul must be. To what depths will the malevolent forces of the inferno sink to gain that prize? How deep is Hell?
