Finder Series by Carla Speed McNeil, Jenn Manley Lee, Bill Mudron

Finder details the life of Jaeger, aboriginal detective, a scout and tracker of powerful loyalties but few allegiances. Sin-Eater throws him into the vortex of a complex and unravelable plot that he may have set in motion himself.Finder is a drawn book that reads like a movie storyboard. Extensive notes and commentary by the author are included.

Jaeger Ayers is a Finder, a super-scout born -- or maybe made -- for a survivor's life. He's an explorer whose past is a mystery to him, a loner who finds himself returning to Emma and her children, the only people in his life who feel like family. In this second part of Sin-Eater, he must ask himself how far he will go to protect them from his best friend: Brigham, Emma's husband.

You can also purchase many items from a range of high-quality merchandise that we`re sure you`ll treasure for months to come. Jaeger Ayers doesn`t take to crowds or conformity, and there`s an abundance of both in Munkytown. There are also personal connections for him. With the Ascians, whose tribal culture is on display to visitors eager to spend an afternoon in Noble Savage land; with the Nyima, the lion-people in danger of losing their pride the longer they stay in the town. Holy city or theme park? Munkytown has the economic upper hand in an uneasy alliance where nothing is what it seems. But power takes many forms, and that`s where being a Finder comes in handy. less

If you've never been tempted to steal a book from a library; If you've never dreamed of being given a book with all the answers in it, and awakened disappointed because it's not really under your pillow;If your mother never gave away, threw out, or sold a book that had changed your life;If you're not still half looking for that book every time you pull one off the shelf...But of course you are."Talisman" is about hunger and magic.

The "aboriginal science fiction" setting of McNeil's long-running serial is a framework for an enormous range of stories, and this eighth collection is romance—from the point of view of the kind of guy who usually leaves women's apartments through the window.

Jaeger Ayers is a ritual sin eater for a tribal religion, a hot-looking lowlife from the country on the loose in a big city and a total tomcat. Maybe he brings out the worst kinks, fetishes and neuroses in women, as he describes them in hilarious, R-rated terms to a friend; maybe his experiences with them are just a reflection of his own macho unreliability. The story's got a marvelous, unusual tone—light comedy with flashes of chilling psychological darkness—and McNeil's artwork is a joy, meticulously observing each of her characters' expressions and body language. She packs every panel with details that suggest how her invented culture works, like a professional bathgiver with tiny bars of soap-on-a-rope for earrings. A lot of what McNeil does is world building, fleshing out the ethnography and technology of her imaginary society, but it's a natural extension of her characters' amorous collisions and near-misses. - Publisher's Weekly less
