About this ebook

A young telepath rises out of a dying city to save Time from evil in this classic sci-fi fantasy duology, now together in one volume.

Warchild

In an alternate New York City, a boy named Garvin is unaware of the extent of his psychic powers. He just knows getting through each day without losing his head is a struggle. Everywhere he goes, Garvin is bombarded by the thoughts of others. But his life quickly changes when allies contact him. He begins learning how to use his telepathy . . . and how to let his brain rest for once. But his peace is short lived . . .

The insidious influence of the Riders is felt in every quadrant of time. They steal and enslave human minds, and now they have Garvin. Pushed from world to world, he is the final hope. This loner with much to learn must now become the legendary Warchild if the universe is to survive.

Goblin Market

Garvin Warchild's rebellion is now in its third year and gaining momentum. He and his elite guard, the Warchild Cluster, have taken over various realms and are slowly cutting off the City Out of Time from supplies—human and otherwise—that are being used to feed the hungry Goblins. They have profited off the suffering of humanity for far too long . . .

Even with the parasite in his head, Garvin knows the time has come to gather his armies of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter and lead them in the final assault on the City of Time. Together they will stop the exploitation of his fellow telepaths and end Goblin rule over the outer worlds of the Time Lanes for good.
