Annotation
Greed, treachery, mesmerism, and murder are just some of the bricks Hawthorne uses to build The House of the Seven Gables. Generations before the present story begins, wealthy Colonel Pyncheon covets Matthew Maule’s land. When Maule is hanged for witchcraft, he puts a curse on the Colonel—and all his descendants. Now the menacing Judge Pyncheon continues the family tradition of hiding cruelty under a dazzling smile, while his scowling niece, Hepzibah, and half-mad nephew, Clifford, are reduced to poverty by his machinations. But the younger generation, embodied in their distant cousin Phoebe, becomes a ray of hope penetrating the dark house

Annotation
Blue Death can be compartmentalized as a science fiction equivalent to Moby Dick. Captain Ahab is protrayed by Nils Domingo, an enigmatic man who has lost a family instead of a leg to what he thinks is the ultimate enemy. Ishmael, Queequeg and the others are more than adequately picked up in the form of Spence Benkovic, Branwen Galway, etc. as members of Domingo

But the mages know, for they can feel the loss of life in their very souls. Turtledove
