A Classic Not to Be Missed by George R. R. Martin, the Author of "Game of Thrones" (2 Volumes in Total)

"Hot Night Dreams": In the 19th century, on the eve of the Civil War, the Mississippi River was filled with the dreams of all boatmen. Countless steamships chase each other on this arterial waterway, competing for money and honors, with long whistles and white smoke billowing. Just when a snow disaster almost destroyed Captain Abner Marsh's shipping career, he received a letter from a mysterious man. The promise of gold and a magnificent new ship that could make history made Captain Marsh irresistible. Joshua York came to seek cooperation and wanted to cross the majestic Mississippi River. He hoped that Marsh could help him. The only requirement was to respect his privacy and not doubt his decision, no matter how bizarre, arbitrary or abnormal his behavior seemed. Although Marsh instinctively sensed that the proposal was fraught with dangerous secrets, he decided to go all-in. They built a steamboat called "Hot Night's Dream" that perfectly matched all of Captain Marsh's dreams. It wasn't until the new ship made its maiden voyage that Marsh realized what had happened... Along the way, the "Hot Night's Dream" turned the Mississippi into a river of blood; and it itself gradually turned into a blood ship. "The Passing of Light": The protagonist Dirk is summoned by his lover who has left him long ago and comes to the planet Voron. However, Voroun is a world completely outside of Dirk's experience, and Gwen is no longer the woman he is familiar with. Surrounded by numerous conspiracies, Dirk becomes increasingly unable to distinguish between his allies and enemies... In this unforgettable space opera, George R. R. Martin unfolds a chilling account of a timeless night—a turbulent world filled with clashing cultures, a lack of codes of honor, and the identities of hunter and prey often interchanged.
