Time and Robbery features the protagonist of Ore's Centuries Ago and
Very Fast, Vel, a gay immortal born in Paleolithic who jumps time at
will. Unless Vel can help out his younger self, Vel's tribe's descendants—a
big chunk of the 21st-century British population—will be eliminated from
the timeline. Present-day Vel, though, has problems of his own, so he takes
a chance and outs himself (and his talented teen-aged daughter Quince) to
Joe Tavistock, a subcontractor on the weak end of the plausible deniability
chain dangling off British intelligence, making it Joe’s problem. Joe's
superiors are dubious, and Joe doesn't know who to trust. The stakes are
high not just for Vel, but for everyone involved.
On Island SG7, one voracious parasite endangers a protected forest and a
small community. But the biologist hired to bring the place into balance is
already compromised—by a too-narrow view of her duties, and—increasingly—by
a love she cannot ignore.
This is the love letter of Peta Sutton, who struggles to perceive the full
complexities of her place in a foreign ecosystem and an extramarital
relationship. As the island roils and the parasites seem to drag people's
worst fears into being, Peta struggles to forge a peace at the heart of
fears that threaten to consume everything.
Aqueduct Press is pleased to announce the release of Never
at Home, a collection of short fiction by L. Timmel Duchamp. This
collection includes stories previously published in the acclaimed
Paraspheres and Bending the Landscape anthology series and
in Asimov’s SF, as well as one hundred pages of previously
unpublished work.
"L. Timmel Duchamp's stories are intense, tricky, heartfelt, and most
of all, interesting; they take on big themes in a clear way, but also at
the same time swirl with complications, moments of poetry, life
itself."
— Kim Stanley Robinson, author
of the Mars Trilogy
and Galileo's Dream

Conversation Pieces, Vol. 29
Uncanny, sweet, and shot through with fairytale
weirdness, A Broods of Foxes takes Joey Napoleon into
a world as bizarre as anyone’s first adulthood—with a
few differences. Set in a place where time has its own
logic, human and animal is a shifting perspective, and
the people we love are always slightly other—and
better—than we imagined, A Brood of Foxes faces
us with the moral dimensions of environmental
disasters—in a troublingly literal way.

Living
in a system stacked against them, Redwood and Aidan's power and talent are
torment and joy. Their search for a place to be who they want to be is an
exhilarating, painful, magical adventure. Blues singers, filmmakers,
haints, healers, and actors work their mojo for adventure, romance, and
magic from Georgia to Chicago!
"Redwood and Wildfire works as an allegory for all
paradigm-shifting artistic innovation, even though it mostly reads as the
love story of two people who struggle to invoke the free, interracial
paradise that already exists in their hearts."
— Carol Cooper The Village Voice, Feb 23, 2011
