The Whispering Swarm: Book One of The Sanctuary of the White
Friars by Michael Moorcock (ISBN 9780765324771 $26.99)
A celebrated fantasist returns with a unique
excursion to a time-twisted realm hidden in the
byways of London, city of his birth and his heart
Almost anyone who has read or written SF or
fantasy has been inspired by the work of Michael
Moorcock. His literary flair and grand sense of
adventure have been evident since his
controversial first novel, Behold the Man,
through the stories and novels featuring his most
famous character, Elric of Melniboné, to his
fantasy masterpiece, Gloriana, winner of both
the Campbell Memorial and World Fantasy
Awards for best novel. Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore,
and Michael Chabon all cite Moorcock as a
major influence; as editor of New Worlds magazine, he helped launch the
careers of many of his contemporaries, including Harlan Ellison, Philip K.
Dick, and J. G. Ballard.
Tor Books now proudly presents Moorcock’s first novel in nine years, a
tale both fantastical and autobiographical, a celebration of London and
what it meant to be young there in the years after World War II. The
Whispering Swarm is the first in a trilogy that will follow a young man
named Michael as he simultaneously discovers himself and a secret realm
hidden deep in the heart of London.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (ISBN 9780062225115 $16.99)
In their first official tie-in book, “The Gang” from the cult classic TV show It's Always
Sunny in Philadelphia attempt their biggest, most ill-
conceived, get-rich quick scheme yet: publishing a
“self-help book” to hilarious, sometimes dangerous,
and often revolting, results
The darkly funny, politically incorrect brainchild of Rob
McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton (the
show’s writers, producers, and stars), It's Always
Sunny in Philadelphia follows the antics of “The Gang,”
four narcissistic losers—Charlie, Mac, Dennis, and
Sweet Dee—who run the dank Philadelphia bar
Paddy’s Irish Pub. Fueled by alcohol, vanity, and
selfishness, and joined by their questionable father
figure Frank (Danny DeVito), the foursome embarks on
hilariously cringe-inducing adventures and schemes—
all of which seem to fail spectacularly.
But now, Frank and The Gang may have found their
golden ticket. Somehow, after closing the bar by himself one night, Charlie (who’s actual
ability to read and write remains unclear) lands himself a sweet book deal, with a real
publishing company, and a real(ly intoxicated) editor. The Gang is stunned, but ready to
rise to the task and become millionaires—and of course, help Charlie actually write it.
In their own crude, inimitable voices, Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Sweet Dee, and Frank
weigh in on important topics like Relationship, Financial Success and Career, Fashion
and Personal Grooming, Health and Diet, and Survival Skills, providing insane advice,
tips, tricks, and recipes (Milk Steak anyone?) as only The Gang can. This is a must-read
for die-hard Always Sunny fans everywhere.
“In a fairer universe, Always Sunny would be heralded as not merely the best sitcom on
television, but one of the most arresting and ambitious current TV series, period.”—The
New Yorker
3. The long-awaited sequel to the #1 bestseller March: Book One!
March: Book Two (ISBN 9781603094009 $19.95)
Congressman John Lewis, an American
icon and one of the key figures of the civil
rights movement, continues his award-
winning graphic novel trilogy with co-writer
Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell,
inspired by a 1950s comic book that
helped prepare his own generation to join
the struggle. Now, March brings the
lessons of history to vivid life for a new
generation, urgently relevant for today’s
world.
After the success of the Nashville sit-in
campaign, John Lewis is more committed
than ever to changing the world through
nonviolence — but as he and his fellow
Freedom Riders board a bus into the
vicious heart of the deep south, they will
be tested like never before. Faced with beatings, police brutality,
imprisonment, arson, and even murder, the movement’s young activists
place their lives on the line while internal conflicts threaten to tear them
apart.
But their courage will attract the notice of powerful allies, from Martin Luther
King, Jr. to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy... and once Lewis is
elected chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, this
23-year-old will be thrust into the national spotlight, becoming one of the
“Big Six” leaders of the civil rights movement and a central figure in the
landmark 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter (ISBN
9780062297303 $9.99)
The third novel in Terry Pratchett and Stephen
Baxter’s “Long Earth” series, which Io9.com calls “a
brilliant science fiction collaboration.”
2040-2045: In the years after the cataclysmic
Yellowstone eruption there is massive economic
dislocation as populations flee Datum Earth to
myriad Long Earth worlds. Sally, Joshua, and
Lobsang are all involved in this perilous work when,
out of the blue, Sally is contacted by her long-
vanished father and inventor of the original Stepper
device, Willis Linsay. He tells her he is planning a
fantastic voyage across the Long Mars and wants
her to accompany him. But Sally soon learns that
Willis has an ulterior motive for his request: he
needs her help to trace an advanced alien
technology which, he believes, will help mankind’s
post-Yellowstone recovery.
Meanwhile U. S. Navy Commander Maggie
Kauffman (introduced in The Long War) has
embarked on an incredible journey of her own,
leading an expedition to the outer limits of the far Long Earth.
For Joshua, the crisis he faces is much closer to home. He becomes embroiled in the
plight of the Next: the super-bright post-humans who are beginning to emerge from their
“long childhood” in the community called Happy Landings, located deep in the Long
Earth. Ignorance and fear have caused “normal” human society to turn against the Next,
and the authorities, afraid of anything or anyone not deemed “normal,” order that all
Next children be imprisoned. Joshua is determined to liberate the children—and a
dramatic showdown over the inhumanity of humans against their own kind seems
inevitable . . .
