"A confident One Thousand and One Nights for our present . . . Furious pop entertainment--full of sex, passion, violence, and magic." --Slant magazine This is the story of the legendary City of Women, told through the tales of those who founded it, championed it, and made it flourish. When the city of Bessa undergoes a violent coup, its lazy, laissez-faire ruler, Bokhari Al-Bokhari, is replaced by the religious zealot Hakkim Mehdad. With little use for the pleasures of the flesh, Hakkim sends his predecessor's 365 concubines to a neighboring sultan as a gift. But when the new sultan discovers the concubines are harboring Al-Bokhari's youngest son--a child who might grow up to challenge his rule--he repents of his mercy and sends his soldiers to slaughter the seraglio down to the last woman and child. What he doesn't count on is a concubine trained in the art of murder--or the courage and fortitude of the women who will rise up with her to forge their own city out of the unforgiving desert. It's an undertaking beset with challenges: hunger and thirst, Hakkim's relentless hate, and the struggle to make a place for themselves in a world determined to underestimate and undermine them. Through a mosaic of voices and tales, we learn of the women's miraculous rise, their time of prosperity--and how they carried with them the seed of their own destruction. "A thrilling tale." --Publishers Weekly "A masterful, engaging and utterly fascinating story by three wonderful writers." --SFRevu.com "The Steel Seraglio brings its alternate world of struggle, politics and magic very much to life." --Locus

From science fiction Grand Master Clifford D. Simak, an interstellar adventure of aliens, fairies, and time travel. Until the day he was murdered, Professor Peter Maxwell was a respected faculty member of the College of Supernatural Phenomena. Imagine his chagrin when he turns up at a Wisconsin matter transmission station several weeks later and discovers he's not only dead but unemployed. During an interstellar mission to investigate rumors of dragon activity, this alternate Maxwell was intercepted by a strange alien race that wanted him to carry knowledge of a remarkable technology back to Earth, and it seems someone does not want the information shared. Suddenly, it's essential for Maxwell to find his own killer. He enlists the aid of Carol Hampton of the Time College, along with her pet saber-tooth tiger, a ghost with memory issues, and the intelligent Neanderthal Man recently rescued from a prehistoric cooking pot. But the search is pointing them toward the goblins, fairies, and assorted Little Folk living in reservations on campus, and into the dangerous heart of an interspecies blood feud that has been raging for millions of years. Ingeniously inventive and unabashedly tongue-in-cheek, this novel demonstrates multi-award-winning fantasy and science fiction favorite Clifford D. Simak operating at the imaginative peak of his considerable powers.
