Cat Fantasy

In Catalyst, award-winning authors Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough introduced listeners to the beguiling Barque Cats: spacefaring felines who serve aboard starships as full-fledged members of the crew. Highly evolved, the cats share an almost telepathic bond with their minders, or Cat Persons — until, suddenly, there is no “almost” about it, and a particular Barque Cat, Chester, learns to ex- change thoughts with his human friend, Jubal. Other cats soon gain the same ability.

For young bard Nikki Deldano, this summer was meant for love songs, not dodging fireballs and unraveling ancient mysteries. But when the Sundragons of Melia send him on a perilous mission to Frelzaire, Nikki’s music is thrust into a far deadlier key. In a realm simmering with political intrigue and shadowy threats, Nikki uncovers the truth behind a heinous attack. Alongside fiery elementals, sword-wielding warriors, and enigmatic scholars, he finds unexpected allies in the strangest places — including a clever, talking kitten with a quest of its own.

Dark prophecy, hidden history, and the secret of the Catlands revealed. When an old enemy attacks, Omen and his companions race to defend the people of the Chain. But heroics have a cost. And the fellowship is broken.

Launching into new territory that the author hadn’t mapped out when he embarked on the series, Nekomonogatari (White) tells the tale of heroine Tsubasa Hanekawa from her own perspective, in her own voice - if that can hold true for a damaged soul who, depending on who you’re asking, suffers from a split personality or a supernatural aberration.

Michael swallowed. His father, screaming. His mother, her mouth open, eyes glazed, as he panicked and power swirled around her too. “Then you know.” “I don’t know exactly what you’ve done,” the dragon corrected. “I know darkness. I can sense it. Jonathon ignores darkness, because he has no fear of it.” “Why not?” “That is for him to tell you. Even as it is for you to tell him what you have done.” In a gentler tone, the dragon added, “Jonathon has looked into many a dark place for others. That’s his job. Yours would not frighten him.” There’s something ...

But lying low isn't really in our skillset, and when one of our few remaining friends is taken by the sea, we can't just walk away. We've got to get her back. Especially as her partner is a reaper with a scythe that can slice through reality, and the whole situation might be a teeny, tiny bit our fault. We're not going after Emma alone, though.
