Dick Award winner who &ldquo;writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of&rdquo; (<I>The Washington Post</I>).</B></DIV><DIV><BR /> At the start of his celebrated career&mdash;before his widespread acclamation as one of the most original contemporary fantasists in America&mdash;Tim Powers published a pair of exciting science fiction adventures. Long considered lost classics, these two novels were early indications that a true master had arrived on the science fiction/fantasy scene.<BR /><BR /> In <I>The Skies Discrowned</I>, a young artist and swordsman becomes a political criminal, marked for death after witnessing an assassination. Francisco Rovzar&rsquo;s strange odyssey through his planet&rsquo;s lawless underworld and his transformation from na&iuml;ve young boy to hardened freedom fighter is an intriguing adventure with action on every page.<BR /><BR /><I>An Epitaph in Rust </I>unfolds in a grim future Los Angeles, following a young man who escapes a bleak life of servitude in a monastery. Hunted for a seemingly insignificant transgression in a city driven mad by the mayor&rsquo;s explosive destruction and the subsequent murderous rampage of the android police, young Thomas finds refuge with a troupe of actors who have more than Shakespeare on their minds.</DIV></DIV>
