Robert Silverberg Gilgamesh the King
September 16, Ibooks 2008 1596874139 / 9781596874138 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release
The epic tale of Gilgamesh, the legendary god-king of Sumeria who discovered the secret of eternal life, has enflamed the imaginations of countless generations. The ancient Sumerian tale tells the story of a king who would be a god, by whatever means necessary. The original story says Gilgamesh was a young giant with enormous wealth, power and beauty—and a boundless arrogance that leads him to oppress his people. In this arrogance, Gilgamesh faces mortality in the death of a friend and ally whom he once feared, and the young king's suffering propels him on an action-packed and paced quest for immortality.

Robert Silverberg The Last Song of Orpheus
September 30, Subterranean 2010 1596063106 / 9781596063105 Deluxe Hardcover Edition Hardcover New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release
In the course of his extraordinary--and prolific--career, Robert Silverberg has made an enormous contribution to imaginative literature. In The Last Song of Orpheus, his longest story in more than a decade, Silverberg has given us one of his most remarkable accomplishments, a resonant recreation of one of the central myths of western civilization. In this mesmerizing narrative, Orpheus--wanderer, demigod, and master musician--recounts his own astonishing story. That story ranges from the depths of the Underworld, where he attempts to rescue his beloved but doomed Eurydice, to the farthest, most dangerous corners of the ancient world, where he journeys in search of the legendary Golden Fleece. It is a tale of men and gods, of miraculous encounters, of the binding power of inescapable Fate. More than that, it is a meditation on the power of the creative spirit, and on the eternal human search for balance and harmony in a chaotic universe. Beautifully constructed and masterfully written, The Last Song of Orpheus is Silverberg at his incomparable best, showing us a deeply familiar series of scenes, themes, and characters from a fresh, wholly original perspective.
