Baker, Kage NOT LESS THAN GODS
USA Subterranean Press 2010 1596062835 / 9781596062832 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine Signed by Author(s)
OUT OF PRINT. 328 pp. Throughout the Company series, there were occasional references to a mysterious group operating during the Victorian era. Their origins were, supposedly, lost in the mists of time. Their members had, purportedly, included such worthies as Archimedes, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Dr. John Dee. Their 19th-century headquarters were, allegedly, located beneath an exclusive London club. It was further alleged that in that time and place they called themselves the Gentlemen's Speculative Society, and that a retired naval commander on half-pay named Edward Alton Bell-Fairfax was one of their number. Their goal, it was said, was to bring about a new and better world through the implementation of what the Greeks called Technologia... Not Less Than Gods is the story of young Edward's creation and recruitment by the GSS, his training, and his first mission. Edward and his fellow agents, armed with a lethally useful array of steampunk technology, set out on a grand tour to gather intelligence. The year is 1849, but the GSS have had advance warning of conflict in the Crimea. Can it be prevented? Can the GSS benefit? Their journey will take them through the shrines of the Holy Land, the bazaars of old Constantinople, the muddy frontiers along the Danube and the chilly splendors of St. Petersburg, to a blazing denouement in its dark streets. Edward emerges from the fire tempered into the perfect GSS operative, steadfast, zealous, determined to bring about a glorious new future... and fully aware a price must be paid in blood and honor. Limited: 474 signed numbered hardcover copies. From SF Signal: The spycraft is dead-on, the settings and era are completely immersive and convincing, the jokes are funny and the action is taut - Fans of the Company novels will delight in learning more about Bell-Fairfax and his mysterious spymasters, and readers unfamiliar with Bakers work will find this an excellent place to begin. From Library Journal: Set in a Victorian England that harbors secret advanced technology, this steampunk spinoff of the authors popular Company series (In the Garden of Iden) features a likable, if deadly, hero and a wealth of proper conversation and improper actions. Baker fans will enjoy this fresh take on a familiar theme. From Booklist: Baker builds a fantastic alternate Europe with a deft historical touch and spins an excellent spy story around it. Not Less Than Gods is a satisfying addition to the annals of the Company that is also an engaging stand-alone novel.

Baker, Kage OR ELSE MY LADY KEEPS THE KEY
USA Subterranean Press 2008 978159606162 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine Signed by Author
184 pages. His name is John James--at least, that's the name he gives to anyone asking. He's a former pirate just back in Port Royal from the sack of Panama, and he has every intention of settling down and leading a respectable life. First, though, he must honor a promise and deliver a letter to the mistress of one of his dead comrades. But the lady is much more than she seems, and the letter turns out to contain detailed instructions for recovering a hidden fortune. It's one thing to know where treasure may be found; finding it, and keeping it, is quite another. On his quest for a prince's ransom John is joined by two unlikely allies: a black freedman named Sejanus Walker and a humble clerk named Winthrop Tudeley. Pirate attacks, hurricanes, shipwrecks, sharks, unearthly visitations and double-crosses follow. Especially double-crosses... Or Else My Lady Keeps the Key will be available exclusively from Subterranean Press in two unique editions Limited: 2000 signed hardcover copies

Gevers, Nick (editor) Robert Silverberg, Lucius Shepard, Jay Lake, Kage Baker, Jeffrey Ford THE BOOK OF DREAMS
USA Subterranean Press 2010 1596062843 / 9781596062849 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine Signed by Author(s) editor(s)
120 pages. Perchance to dream...To dream is to enter inner worlds of terror and revelation, to look the collective unconscious in the face. In this ground-breaking anthology, five modern masters of the fantastic conjure especially potent encounters with the stuff of the sleeping mind, unveiling dark hints about who (or what) we truly are, about our uncertain relationships with the waking world. The stories in The Book of Dreams are bold ventures into the kingdom of Morpheus, upon which individual destinies crucially depend--or perhaps the destiny of the entire human species.In The Prisoner, Grand Master Robert Silverberg, long an explorer of visionary realms, indicates just how dangerous it can be to respond to a cry for help--especially when you are unconscious at the time. In Dream Burgers At The Mouth of Hell, the commanding prose of Lucius Shepard explores the secret dream factories of Hollywood, tracing where the inspiration of scriptwriters really originates. In Testaments, Jay Lake brilliantly employs the language of prophecy to consider the totality of human history, and where its contradictory trends may lead us as new kings dream of glory. In Rex Nemorensis, Kage Baker incisively considers the violent dream landscape of Vietnam veterans, and fuses it with the territory of ancient myth and ritual. And in 86 Deathdick Road, Jeffrey Ford, dreamer of dreamers, plunges into an oneiric domain in which fateful symbols are everywhere, but truth is forever elusive. The Book of Dreams is a cornucopia of strange enlightenment, a quintet of voyages to wonderful yet disturbing worlds within. Limited: 200 signed numbered copies. From Booklist: Editor Gevers is fairly new to the theme anthology, but this slim, high-quality compilation reinforces the impression given by his and Jay Lakes Other Earths (2009) that any more coming from his direction will be dont-miss items. From Publishers Weekly: Silverberg's The Prisoner is an effective exploration of Twilight Zone themes... Kage Baker...demonstrates her skills with Rex Nemorensis, in which a burned-out Vietnam veteran carves out an unusual home for himself in his grandfathers undeveloped property. Finally, 86 Deathdick Road, by Jeffrey Ford, is an offbeat, creepy horror yarn in which attending a suburban dinner party featuring The Smartest Man in the World turns into a surreal nightmare. From San Francisco Book Review: Readers will dive right into The Book of Dreams and not want to set it down, though some readers may feel (and it is recommended) that there should be a pause in reading between tales, as these will make reader feel as if they, too, have been dreaming.
