“Inspired by tales of ancient sea-monsters, McIntyre (The Crystal Star) spins a marvelous alternative- history fable about greed and goodness, power and pathos set at the 17th century court of Louis XIV, France’s glittering Sun King.... McIntyre vividly re-creates a Versailles poised on the cusp between alchemy and modern science. Her imaginings enliven her history with wonder, but, as in the best fantasy, they serve less to dazzle by their inventiveness than to illuminate brilliantly real-world truths — here, humanity’s responses, base and noble, when confronting the unknown. — Publishers Weekly
A dazzling and spirited evocation of the passions, intrigues, and preconceptions of the age, along with a dandy pair of star-crossed lovers: an enchanting slice of what-if historical speculation. — Kirkus Reviews

Vampire novels: New title in this series, #5 THE KINDRED OF DARKNESS, see page 8. Oxford professor James Asher, once an agent for the British government, is forced to help the vampires of Edwardian London, who are being destroyed one by one through exposure to sunlight as they lie sleeping in their coffins. Accompanied by one of the oldest of the vampires, Simon Ysidro, who has lived in London since the time of Elizabeth I, Asher begins his investigations, learning about the life and culture of vampires as his wife Lydia, who is one of the few women physicians of the era, attempts to find other clues. Hambly's examination of vampirism is beautifully detailed, with a fine, realistic background and strong sense of atmosphere. Her characters are finely honed, particularly Don Ysidro, the vampire with a sense of noblesse oblige.

Winterlands novels (4 books):
Jenny, a partially-trained wizard, and her husband, John, the local ruler, meet up with a prince of the kingdom, who begs them to come and rescue their land from a black dragon. John is the Dragonsbane; the title bestowed on him after he and Jenny slew a dragon some years previous. Jenny, once in the capital city, must deal not only with the fact that she may lose John to the huge black dragon, but also the jealousy of meeting another (more powerful, and younger) wizard-woman. When Jenny makes a deal with the dragon for John's life, she is forced to make the biggest decision of her life - between the passion for magic that is part of her, and the love she shares with John that she cannot live without.

For Rudy, it started with an ill-fated beer run that linked him with Gil and Ingold and drew him into a world where the infamous Dark was invading. A world where academic Gil became a warrior and punk/artist Rudy a mage, and where everyone was working to reach a haven from the Dark.

The Windrose Chronicles (4 books):
The Silent Tower is set in two worlds, separated by the mysterious Void. In the Empire of Ferryth are Caris, a warrior of the Council of Wizards, and Antryg, a slightly-demented and imprisoned wizard. In California is Joanna, a shy computer programmer who is being stalked. When Joanna is kidnapped by an unknown wizard from Ferryth and carried through the Void, she meets up with Caris and the escaped Antryg, who she believes is the man who kidnapped her, and goes with them on their quest to stop the evil wizard, Suraklin, who died long ago but has been using the bodies of others to continue his work.

SunU Cross (2 books): Two wizards, Jaldis and Rhion, had dared the dread Dark Well to answer the desperate call of a world without magic. Jaldis had not survived the dreadful Void. Now Rhion was alone in a world he could not imagine - the world of Germany in 1940. The four would-be wizards of the Occult Bureau welcomed him to their home in Schloss Torweg. They wanted his help desperately. But they would not heed his advice against calling up of dark magic. They needed magic to overcome the enemies they claimed were trying to conquer their fatherland. To that high mission, nothing could be neglected, however dark and ugly. They lied to him, claiming the Dark Well had been destroyed, removing his only hope of returning to Tally and his two sons. And soon he realized he was no more than a useful prisoner. But he knew the Dark Well still existed. And somehow, despite whatever they did to him, he must find a way back across the Void!

Sun Wolf/Starhawk series (3 books): Best selling Feminist Martial Arts Fantasy When Sun Wolf, a mercenary captain, turned down an elegant lady from the town of Mandrigyn and her preposterous request that he fight for her an unwinnable battle, he had no idea what trouble he was getting into. Sheera had no intention of taking no for an answer, and as an unwilling prisoner, Sun Wolf begins to train the women of Mandrigyn as a fighting force. His lieutenant, Starhawk, follows his trail to the city where all the men have been imprisoned by the last wizard to walk to the earth. Sun Wolf is forced to admit, before long, that he has violated every rule about wizardry and love that his father handed down to him, and once reunited, both Sun Wolf and Starhawk (in a theme which soon becomes familiar during their subsequent travels), are forced to leave Mandrigyn at the end of the story - and the newly-freed men to the surprises that their battle-trained wives and daughters have become.

As orphaned Barbary travels to her new home on a space station, her own problems are dwarfed by the first sighting of an alien spacecraft. The VIPs rushing out to study and possibly greet the approaching ship create enough commotion for Barbary to smuggle her pet cat Mickey on board against the rules. At its best, the combination of excitement about space, living on a frontier, and the down-to-earth mechanical details of zero-G toilets recalls Robert Heinlein's excellent stories for this age group. McIntyre displays the talent that won her acclaim for her adult SF. Publisher’s Weekly

Two girls contend with sorcery in England’s Regency age
Since they were children, cousins Kate and Cecelia have been inseparable. But in 1817, as they approach adulthood, their families force them to spend a summer apart. As Cecelia fights boredom in her small country town, Kate visits London to mingle with the brightest lights of English society.
At the initiation of a powerful magician into the Royal College of Wizards, Kate finds herself alone with a mysterious witch who offers her a sip from a chocolate pot. When Kate refuses the drink, the chocolate burns through her dress and the witch disappears. It seems that strange forces are convening to destroy a beloved wizard, and only Kate and Cecelia can stop the plot. But for two girls who have to contend with the pressures of choosing dresses and beaux for their debuts, deadly magic is only one of their concerns.
