Once a week during the summer is an event called The Ride, where people bring out their motorbikes and do stunts in the street. Mouse’s mother forbids him from attending, but he sneaks out anyway to attend with his friends Lamont and Sweartagawd. Mouse purchases a run-down four-wheel motorbike and is detained by police while driving it home.

Blax summons Mouse to the garage to confront him, but Mouse notices something is wrong with Blax’s dog and insists they go to the vet immediately. The vet explains that the dog needs surgery to survive; Blax agrees only if Mouse performs the operation, which he successfully does. Blax then explains the truth of Stro’s death to Mouse: Blax offered him a job running drugs, and Stro died during the job. An upset Mouse leaves. As Mouse and his friends prepare the convenience store robbery, Lamont takes the gun, but Mouse insists they do not fire it. The robbery goes wrong when Lamont accidentally fires a shot and the owner’s wife returns fire, killing Sweartagawd.

The cab driver, Harris Caron, is listening to a radio show about time-traveling aliens who changed the nature of reality. A charming young passenger calling herself Penny climbs into a taxi cab and asks to go to the corner of River and Elm. The car moves along a deserted dark highway, and Harris and Penny have a mildly flirtatious conversation. Suddenly, she disappears from the back seat of the car, leaving no trace. Bewildered, Harris contacts dispatch. The Dispatcher says he doesn't know what to do about a vanishing passenger and that Harris should just reset his fare and return to the city. Harris resets the mileage counter, and the prior events occur again more or less as they had before, though without Penny giving her name. The car crashes, and the barrier between the seats breaks. Harris grabs Penny's hand and asks if she is all right, calling her Penny. Penny says he used her name this time though she hadn't given it and tells Harris to remember her this time before she disappears. Harris again resets the meter, and the events occur again, this time with Harris having vague recollections of prior details. He realizes he has picked up Penny before. Penny, relieved, tells him the ride has occurred at least a hundred times, with Harris never remembering anything, suggesting they are trapped in a time loop that always ends with Penny disappearing and repeating the events. Through subsequent trips, their conversation grows more intimate. Penny, despite making up many humorous stories about her career during past rides, explains she is really in horticulture, which fits her floral attire and accessories. Harris explains he is a taxi driver because his father was, though he hates the job and felt his father wasted his life doing the task and he is doing the same. Penny is sympathetic but says she sees nobility in taking people to their destinations. She also feels trapped by her unhappy arranged marriage. Harris had a girlfriend once he met via a taxi ride, but the relationship had ended badly. After yet another disappearance, Harris decides to look for Penny. He does not reset his meter and drives down a different road, despite voices whispering to him to turn back. He eventually reaches a bright light where a dark figure demands he turn around. Harris resets his meter. He is still visibly upset when he picks up Penny again, and she comforts him, leading to them becoming passionate. Afterward, Harris notices a scar on Penny's head from when she hit her head in the car crash. The scar is old and Harris realizes they are not in a time loop but that time is actually passing. Penny is unable to answer his questions, but tells him to not drink his water before she disappears again. Harris does not drink his water and picks up a new passenger, an elderly man who asks to go to River and Elm. As he drives, Harris' memory of his old girlfriend return. The girl he had picked up in his taxi cab was in fact Penny, and they had spent a romantic summer together before she left suddenly. Harris subsequently died in a car crash. Harris takes the old man to River and Elm, a desolate place, and the old man pays him with a gold coin, like many other similar gold coins Harris finds in his cab. The Dispatcher calls to check in and tells Harris to get back to his job. Harris asks what is his job. The Dispatcher explains that Harris is his ferryman, a punishment given to him after he and Penny's relationship. The Dispatcher is Death, and Penny, who is actually Persephone, is his wife. Death had taken away Harris' memory of Penny, and Penny had provided water to erase his memory of his job. Harris had been unaware of years passing, only aware of when he drove Penny, something that happened yearly as she returned to the underworld. Harris returns to his job and drives many different souls to the afterlife. Eventually, it is again time to pick up Penny. She apologizes for everything and implores him to drink the water again for his own sake, but Harris says he has found nobility in his task and that he is grateful for their brief time each year to be together. He drops her off, and they express their feelings for each other before he drives away. . ===== Sasaio Heizaburo is a skilled sword samurai with amnesia. one day he meet Gomyo Kiyoemon.

Although advanced technology exists, the Nine Houses primarily rely on necromancy and wars are fought with archaic close combat weapons (very few people actually know what firearms are and they appear to be ancient artifacts). The emperor, who rules the First House, uses his most powerful necromancers (known as "Lyctors") and his army (known as the "Cohort") to wage a war against an unknown enemy. The Emperor invites the heirs and their bodyguards (called cavaliers) of the Nine Houses to compete to become new Lyctors. The narrative begins on the planet controlled by the Ninth House, a death cult tasked by ancient commandment with guarding The Locked Tomb, a vault believed to contain an incredibly dangerous secret. 18-year-old orphan Gideon Nav attempts to escape from the Ninth House, where she was raised in indentured servitude. Gideon was adopted by the Ninth House after her mother mysteriously appeared on the planet, dead, with baby Gideon in her arms. Gideon's plan is foiled by her longtime rival, the Ninth House's heir, Harrowhark "Harrow" Nonagesimus, who enlists Gideon as her primary cavalier in Harrow's bid to become a Lyctor. For unexplained reasons, Gideon and Harrowhark are among the only children in the Ninth House, and so Gideon (a warrior who dreams of joining the Cohort) is Harrow's only real choice for cavalier. Harrow and Gideon travel to the planet ruled by the First House, where they explore a decaying mansion known as Canaan House along with the heirs and cavaliers primary of the other houses. The contestants are tasked with discovering and deciphering ancient secrets housed in Canaan House that represent the most advanced necromancy techniques in the galaxy, and then use those secrets to perform the process that will turn them into Lyctors themselves. Gideon and Harrow quickly pull ahead of most of the other contestants, due to Harrow's immense, once-in-a-generation skill with necromancy and Gideon's perceptiveness and combat skills. In their investigations they work alongside Palamedes Sextus, the brilliant heir of the scholarly Sixth House, and his lethal cavalier Camilla, as well as Dulcinea Septimus, heir of the Seventh House, who is dying of a terminal disease and bound to a wheelchair, who Gideon starts to fall in love with. They also contend with the Eighth House, practitioners of dangerous soul-manipulation magic, religious fanatics who believe that the Ninth House are heretics who deserve to die. After a series of unexplained deaths, the remaining Houses turn to bribery, blackmail, and unsteady alliances. Harrowhark eventually admits to Gideon that the source of her immense necromantic powers as well as the reason that she and Gideon grew up alone is that Harrow's parents, in an attempt to reverse their House's declining fortunes by producing the greatest necromancer of a generation, performed a ritual to sacrifice every child of that generation to imbue Harrow with the power of their souls, a secret that Harrow has carried the guilt of her entire life. She and Gideon realize that despite their long rivalry, they do not hate one another, and they admit their emotional dependence on one another and begin a shaky romantic relationship. As events in Canaan House build towards a climax and more and more of the contestants die mysterious deaths, Gideon and Palamedes eventually learn that Dulcinea Septimus has actually been dead for months, and she has been replaced by the Emperor's first Lyctor, Cytherea the First. Cytherea has been murdering the others in an effort to draw the Emperor to the planet, where she can attempt to kill him in revenge for some supposed crime in the distant past. Palamedes sacrifices himself in an attempt to kill Cytherea, but fails; Lyctors are revealed to be immortal beings wielding both limitless necromantic power and superhuman fighting skills. Harrowhark finishes her and Palamedes' research and discovers that the ritual to become a Lyctor involves sacrificing the life of a necromancer's cavalier, devouring their soul to create a 'battery' of unlimited magical energy as well as absorbing their combat skills. They also discover that Ianthe Tridentarius, the glamorous but arrogant and merciless necromancer of the Third House, has already learned this and sacrificed her own cavalier, successfully becoming a Lyctor. All the surviving players battle one another as well as Cytherea, who seems to be invincible, until Gideon commits suicide to complete the ritual and make Harrow a Lyctor (against Harrow's will). Harrow uses her new power to kill Cytherea and then falls unconscious. Harrow wakes up on the Emperor's flagship to learn that Gideon is dead and she and Ianthe are the only ones to reach Lyctorhood. The Emperor, the godlike king of the Nine Houses, states that his Lyctors have been slowly going insane or dying for the past few millennia, explaining his call for new recruits. The Empire is in danger, and Harrowhark agrees to serve the Emperor as Harrowhark the First. ===== David is the host of a local, late night radio show called "Gay Talk" in Buffalo, New York.

Nonetheless, David instantly becomes a devoted fan. He attends, and carefully analyses every match, and keeps a scrapbook of every press mention they get, no matter how negative. His favorite player is the team's star, center forward Alan "Stoney" Stonebridge (Ross Anderson).

Having sneaked into Charlie McQueen's office, and noticed some notes on player's files, Dave believes that McQueen has received large cash offers from both Manchester United and Leeds United to sell Stoney away from Bromley. It seems to Dave that McQueen is planning to accept, in order to pay off his massive gambling debts, which have rendered the club bankrupt.

The Chairman see this news on television, and now imagines he will be able to pay off all his gambling debts and come out ahead. He announces the good news about Stoney at a party, and explains he can now afford to send his daughter Ruby to university to become a doctor, her dream. But Dave suddenly understands that he misinterpreted what he read: the notes he saw were not about cash offers from leading football clubs, instead they were about offers to Ruby from Manchester University and Leeds University. There will be no money coming in. In order to save Bromley, Dave browbeats the Chairman into selling his expensive sports car, and betting all of the cash on Bromley FC to win their final game of the season, at odds of 10 to 1. Dave also demands that the Chairman allow him to manage the team for this one final game. Despite Dave's attempts to suggest a new game plan, the first half of the game goes poorly, with Bromley scoring an own goal. But then Dave accidentally finds out that his father was originally a brilliant athlete who played youth soccer for England, before being crippled in an accident on the field -- the source of his bitterness towards football. Before the Bromley team goes out for the second half, Dave gives an impassioned speech, which Stoney endorses, and which causes the team to play better than anyone would have thought possible. First a goal to draw the game is scored, and then Stoney manages to score a very challenging goal on a free kick, and Bromley FC wins 2-1. Dave is carried off the field in triumph, to joy all round. ===== Li Weijie, his wife Ayu and their two daughters Pingping and An-an, are a Chinese family living in northern Thailand since last 17 years.

Howard's Conan the Barbarian, and Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. Hahn is smitten with fickle actress Cassia MacDermott, female lead on the show. She has just turned down his latest marriage proposal. The production also faces other difficulties. Everyone is kept on edge by temperamental program manager Mortimer Knight, self-proclaimed genius, who treats all his subordinates like slaves. Only Hahn stands up to him. If that's not enough, the studio is trying out the new consiline-hypnosis treatment, which conditions the actors to believe they really are the characters they portray. And Sasha, a giant anaconda grown to one hundred feet in length with hormones, has been brought in to provide the menace for the current episode. He's supposed to have drugged into docility, but working with wild animals is always chancy. Scientist Ilya Sorokin, discoverer of consiline, is responsible for both the treatment and the snake. In the dispensary, Cassia and her co-star Remington Dallas, who plays Cornzan, receive their consiline doses and indoctrination tapes. Series director Eisenhower Lynd tries to keep things light by telling limericks, which Knight later tries to top, drawing a rebuke from Sorokin lest it spoil the actors' indoctrination. They quarrel, Knight threatening to sack Sorokin as soon as the current series if concluded, and the later rejoining he can put the whole studio out of business with his new drug, somnone-beta, that will indoctrinate audiences with scripts from which they can dream their own adventures. On that note, shooting starts. The Cornzan series is set on a fictional "Counter- Earth" called Anthon; the titular hero, son of earthly scientist John Carson, was orphaned when his parents' spaceship crashed and was raised by native tree-men. In maturity he became a mercenary in the service of the tyrannical King Djurk of Djelibin and fell in love with the king's daughter Lululu, thus incurring the king's wrath. Now he must rescue his love from the jungle temple of Yak, guarded by the giant snake. The actors playing King Djurk and his henchman Boger tie up Lululu (Cassia) in the temple set as bait to lure rescuing hero Cornzan into the jaws of the snake. The princess dutifully screams as Sasha appears, and Cornzan swings in to save her. They kiss and emote, and then Cornzan incongruously starts spouting lines from Macbeth (Dallas was a Shakespearian actor before landing his current role). The indoctrination was ruined, all right! Evidently, the verses he was hearing did it. As the action proceeds, more and more Macbeth dialog gets interspersed with Cornzan's scripted lines. Shooting will have to cease and the actors given the antidote. But it must be done in keeping with their dream reality, lest their minds be damaged. "Djurk" and "Boger" having already left for the day, Knight drafts Hahn and Sorokin into their roles to dose Cassia and Dallas. It doesn't go well. "Cornzan," believing Hahn to be Djurk, engages him in swordplay; to prevent the actor from killing Hahn, Sorokin beans him with the device to administer the antidote. Distracted, Dallas pursues Sorokin, and Hahn pursues both. Each vaults over the giant snake Sasha, and Dallas, stumbling, accidentally stabs it. Hahn knocks Dallas out, only to face an angry Sasha. Knight, shouting "If he eats our star it'll ruin the show!" bounds forward; he and Hahn both try to pull Dallas away, but tug in opposite directions. Sasha clamps down on Knight and drags him back screaming. Hahn goes after Sasha with Dallas's sword. Eventually he succeeds in piercing the snake's skull, and it destroys the set in its dying convulsions. Afterwards, Knight, unfairly blaming Hahn for everything, fires him. Putting their heads together, Hahn and Sorokin realize Knight had already tried to kill them both; Sorokin had thrown the antidote device because he had discovered it empty--the manager had set them up to be killed by the hypnotized Dallas. They can't prove it, though. Feeling Hahn has been fired partly on his account, Sorokin takes him on as a business partner. A month later, the two are rich; to stay in business, the studio is paying them through the nose to suppress Sorokin's patent on the somnone-beta process. Things are also looking up for Hahn personally. Cassia had thrown Hahn over for Dallas in the wake of the disaster, but found him all looks and no intellect. Now she wants Hahn back. Hahn, still smitten and no wiser, blissfully accepts. ===== Imperial warlord Moff Sarne has set about to conquer a large part of the galaxy.
