A fascinating and timely summary of our current knowledge about the Solar System's largest moon, Ganymede.

Josephine Early, New Orleans brothel owner and Union spy, has a mission. And it might just end the Civil War. She must deliver Ganymede, an astonishing prototype submarine, to the North. But the giant war machine is at the bottom of a lake, no one has safely piloted it and she must sneak its huge bulk past enemy forces. Luckily, she knows the right man for the job. She hasn’t seen former lover and air-pirate Andan Cly for years, but has a sweet job to tempt him back. He agrees to help, but his primary mission is to retrieve supplies for blighted Seattle, where noxious gas has forced residents underground and undead rotters menace the city. Although legit, the Seattle run makes Cly uncomfortable. He no longer flies sap, disapproving of the drug’s ugly side-effects, and the job is funded with sap money. Josephine’s jaunt could be a great distraction. But will they make history, or end up at the bottom of the ocean?

My name is Ganymede, and I have been betrayed. Every boy my age dreams of leaving home to embark on noble adventures, but never does any boy imagine it happening as it did to me. On the evening of my 18th naming day, I was sold to Zeus by my father.To be honest, I never believed in the gods, but my lack of belief held no power in Olympus. Now under Zeus's influence, I am kept drunk on ambrosia in the sun-lit halls of the immortals, alternately amazed and horrified at the power these beings hold over others, and how darkly they influence the progress of humanity itself. How very much I want to hate Zeus, and yet he shows me mostly kindness, even on that fateful night when we shared a bed for the first time. Kindness, yes, but also a godly and unyielding refusal to take no for an answer... probably because he could read my ambrosia-fevered curiosity as much as my naive, inexperienced terror. He owns me, after all, so perhaps it never occurred to him that a captive might not make the best of lovers. Throughout my time at Olympus the only thing that gives me hope comes to me in dreams and visions. His name is Sable and he is a magnificent shape-shifter in the form of a giant raven. When he first spoke to me in my mind it was with a resonance unlike any I had ever known - his mind and mine sounding a single note together, a song without words, a promise of freedom, a glimpse of some distant but very real possibility of this thing we humans call Love. But now he is silent. Perhaps I dreamed his voice. Perhaps, I have finally lost my mind..*Fans of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, and Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat will especially enjoy Rathbone's version of the Ganymede's myth. -A.J., blog reviewer

GANYMEDES CUP reveals a palimpsest that exposes the inextricable relationship between human beings and the ties that bind them to a world where the lines that separate good and evil are not only porous but also entwined. Stephen Lawrence, an intern with a prestigious NewYork firm, finds that he is a twenty-fifirst century Ganymede and cup-bearer to the gods of commodity culture, gender identity, and stem cell research. The Twin Towers loom large in the background as Stephen tries to maintain his ethical standards in the midst of a chaotic, consumer-driven world that grasps the innocent and ascends with them to the twenty-first century Mount Olympus of cultural consumerism.

They were stranded far from home. Their mission to restore order a failure. Jace and Loren fought hard to restore Katrijn to the throne, yet here they are stranded in a far off star system with no one to trust. Trapped. Helpless. At the mercy of Earth's corrupt Ministry forces. They need to find a way back home, no matter the cost, all while fugitives from humanity's two warring sides entrenched in different sides of the galaxy. With only their wits and the kindness of strangers to guide them, Jace and Loren must help Katrijn to return home and restore order to the Andlios Republic. The only path they have... is to blast their way through Ganymede's Gate. *** KEYWORDS: science fiction, scifi book, scifi books, space opera book, space opera scifi, space opera adventure battles, science fiction female lead, strong female characters in books, anarchist scifi, cyborg fiction, space opera exploration, space viking book, anticapitalist scifi, existential scifi, scifi box set, epic space opera, scifi fantasy, space viking battles, lgbtq scifi, progressive scifi, hema battles scifi, space opera, science fiction cthulhu, lovecraftian, lovecraftian scifi For fans of: Frank Herbert, Dan Simmons, China Mieville, Isaac Asimov, Ursula K.

Took all this time to actually in fact bite our own tail to learn that that hurts; I guess it was worth it. / Developed a taste for tails. The prose poems of Ganymede's Dog startle myths back to life, whether Ganymede's abduction by Zeus in the form of an eagle, his abduction by a century's worth of Budweiser labels, Sophocles's boozy boy-chasing, or the dancing plague of 1518. John Emil Vincent teases his materials into surreal, joyous, dirty, sometimes gruesome animation. His revelations arrive in the guise of other characters, and throughout, there are dogs. Dog-themed philosophy, dog-headed saints, dog-worshipping island rituals, and just plain dogs invite the reader to puppy-pile with Petronius, Catherine the Great, and Saint Christopher in a sapiosexual orgy with autocorrect handling the towels. Deeply infused with gay culture and mythology, Ganymede's Dog is a collection of smart, knowing, allusive, often ironic poems that ponder the boundaries of legend and the privileges of youth and beauty.

Examines the portrayal of Ganymede by Michelangelo, Correggio, Cellini, and Romano, and discusses Renaissance attitudes towards homosexuality, gender, and marriage

In Mike Corrao's instant cult-classic GUT TEXT, the reader observes the text caught in the physical objectness of a book as it slowly becomes a living organism: self-conscious, feeling pain, fear, and desire. RITUALS PERFORMED IN THE ABSENCE OF GANYMEDE takes the text beyond the physical, where the reader and text enter the search for a body that can contain you both.

Comprehensive volume that summarizes our understanding of the jovian system.
