    The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, Ripley's Game
    Three classic crime novels by a master of the macabre - The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, and Ripley's Game - appear here together in hardcover for the first time. Suave, agreeable, and completely amoral, Patricia Highsmith's hero, the inimitable Tom Ripley, stops at nothing - not even murder - to accomplish his goals. In achieving the opulent life that he was denied as a child, Ripley shows himself to be a master of illusion and manipulation and a disturbingly sympathetic combination of genius and psychopath. Sent on a mission to Italy to coax an irresponsible young playboy back to his wealthy father in America, Ripley finds himself so fond of the young man that he sets out to be like him - exactly like him. The precarious charade that ensues is the first step to a life of elegance and ease - and perpetual danger. As she leads us through the mesmerizing tangle of Ripley's deadly and sinister games, Highsmith turns the mystery genre inside out and takes us into the mind of a man utterly indifferent to evil.

    Man Of Many Turnings (Further Adventures of Odysseus) (eBook, ePUB)
    When the Egyptian goddess Hathor geeks out and turns into a flying, fire-breathing lion determined to eat the world alive, Isis and Thoth decide that only the Greek hero Odysseus possesses the cunning to outwit her. So they send a time-storm around to collect him. They even throw in a balloon ship to update his transportation. Which does however contain one trifling caveat: the crew consists of Amazons with a seething hatred of all males, and a mad teenage shaman whose visions call for offering their goddess parts of him he's grown rather fond of.A game of turn-about's-fair-play ensues as Odysseus, his captors, mad Queen Nefertiti, and a crew of time-stranded Vikings race each other down the Nile to reach the temple of Hathor at Dendara, each hoping to turn the berzerker goddess to their side - if she doesn't fry them first. But after a jaunt in the Egyptian Underworld, Odysseus gets a better offer from Set, the God of Evil.The kind of offer you can't refuse.
