PASSENGERS AND PERILS continues the story of the two central characters from my Jack Vance-influenced 2008 novel, TEMPLATE (PS Publishing and Paizo). (SPOILERS if you haven't read TEMPLATE) Conn Labro is a manufactured human, created as the template for a legion of vat-grown super soldiers, but raised to be a professional duelist in a gaming house on one of the planets of the Ten Thousand Worlds. Jenore Mordene is a former showgirl who helps him navigate the strange ways of "normal" people. After surviving many perils in TEMPLATE, the couple acquired a space yacht and are now hiring out for charters and small cargoes. This brings them into contact (and conflict) with cultists, thieves, organized criminals, various constabularies, and the deeply inbred aristocrats of Old Earth. They'll also meet up with a confidential operative from the world Novo Bantry as well as the foremost freelance discriminator of Old Earth and a corpulent master criminal.

The Compleat Guth Bandar In Old Earth's penultimate age, humanity's collective unconscious has long since been fully explored and mapped by the noönaut scholars of the Institute for Historical Inquiry.

The Compleat Guth Bandar brings together the full series of Bandar stories originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and later assembled into a "fix-up" novel: The Commons.

Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes argues that the best way to fight income inequality is with a radically simple idea: a guaranteed income for working people, paid for by the one percent. The way Hughes sees it, a guaranteed income is the most powerful tool we have to combat poverty and stabilize America's middle class. Money-cold hard cash with no strings attached-gives people freedom, dignity, and the ability to climb the economic ladder.

This book, grounded in Hughes's personal experience, will start a frank conversation about how we can combat income inequality, and ultimately, how we can give everyone a fair shot
