\nThe Eye of the World<\/em> by Robert Jordan,
\nA song for Arbonne<\/em> by Guy Gavriel Kay,
\nAbhorsen<\/em> by Garth Nix,
\nThe Man with the Iron Heart<\/em> by Harry Turtledove,
\nTerraforming Earth<\/em> by Jack Williamson,
\nA Bridge of Years<\/em> by Robert Charles Wilson,
\nBios<\/em> by Robert Charles Wilson,
