Chasing the Phoenix a science fiction masterpiece from a five-time Hugo Award winner Michael Swanwick

In the distant future, Surplus arrives in China dressed as a Mongolian shaman, leading a yak which carries the corpse of his friend, Darger. The old high-tech world has long since collapsed, and the artificial intelligences that ran it are outlawed and destroyed. Or so it seems.

Darger and Surplus, a human and a genetically engineered dog with human intelligence who walks upright, are a pair of con men and the heroes of a series of prior Swanwick stories. They travel to what was once China and invent a scam to become rich and powerful. Pretending to have limited super-powers, they aid an ambitious local warlord who dreams of conquest and once again reuniting China under one ruler. And, against all odds, it begins to work, but it seems as if there are other forces at work behind the scenes. Chasing the Phoenix is a sharp, slick, witty science fiction adventure that is hugely entertaining from Michael Swanwick, one of the best SF writers alive.

Nice leggings......but
Special Size: 19" Capri without Pockets, Size: Small, Color: Taupe
So, I bought two pairs on sale....one in navy and the other in taupe. Both pairs have a streak mark on the same side, same exact area. I'm on the fence about returning them but I did get them on sale and if the mark doesn't come out in the wash, I can't really wear the in public unless I wear something long to cover the upper thigh area. They fit great and are very comfortable but then there is that unsightly mark. For reference, I am just under 5'0, 105 lbs and bought size small. I will have a think about it the next few days about returning them...or not.

Great basic!
Special Size: Long Sleeve, Size: Large, Color: Ocean Blue
I love these tops, not too cropped but perfect length. I also have sensory issues and need long sleeves when i workout and these wick away moisture + are the right thickness. Usually 19$ but i waited for them to go down 25% right before prime day (yes, that’s right before). Since its amazon basic brand, if you don’t need it right away i suggest watching price. Worth it at 19$ but why pay more.

As Good as My Skims. Seriously!
Special Size: Long Sleeve, Size: Small, Color: Black
Honestly, this top is as good as my Skims! The fit is flattering, the fabric feels smooth and supportive, and it keeps its shape wash after wash. I wear it for workouts, errands, and even layering under blazers — it’s that versatile. Great quality for the price.
