Description: Author: Kage Baker Title: Gods and Pawns Binding: hardcover with jacket Size: about 7" x 9" Pagination: 335pp Published: Tor Books, 2007; first printing Condition: Very good; appears unread ISBN: 9780765315526 In the Company, youre either a God or a Pawn, but sometimes you have to be both. The eight stories, reprinted for the first time in this collection, delve further into the history and exploits of the Company and its operatives, includ- ing Mendoza, Lewis, and Alec. The book opens with the novella "To the Land Beyond the Sunset," starring Lewis and Mendoza, and involving a strange tribe in Bolivia whose mem- bers claim to be gods. Their ability to grow a small tropical paradise in the middle of the desert cer- tainly seems godlike, and its Mendozas job to figure out their secret. "Standing in His Light" features Van Drouten and her role in the career of the artist Jan Vermeer. The story illustrates how, with a little help from the Company, lost masterpieces can be found (or cre- ated) easily. Other stories include "Welcome to Olympus, Mr. Hearst," which opens up intriguing questions about the Company, and the original novelette, "Hellfire at Twilight," which concludes the volume and tells of Lewis infiltrating the famous Hellfire Club in eighteenth-century England.
