The sad thing is I should remember more of these than I do, esp given that I own the Tor HC. I've never finished it, in part because a thousand pages of ACC turns out to be too many for one go and because the HC is so heavy my wrists hurt trying to hold it for any length of time. I still recommend it if you've never read Clarke.

LEGACY OF THE DROW by R.A. Salvatore (Altiverse)

CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS by Marv Wolfman & George Perez (Altiverse)
This is a collection of 12 issues in a limited comic book series in which the entire DC Comics universe (at least four main timelines [1] and over a dozen secondary ones) was torn down and rebuilt, in part because it was felt the back story had grown too cumbersome for new readers to pick up on. The idea was to create a single unified world with a pellucid back story and also to sell gajillions of copies. Sales were good but the series failed in its other goals, a failure that can, I think, be laid at the doorstep of the editorial staff at DC, who mishandled the reboot of the DC Universe. Various beloved characters from Donna Troy to Hawkman then had their continuities garbled to the point where death was a merciful release and the hoped for sales boost across the DC line was squandered in a series of badly thought-out moves, from Dial-a-Dead-Robin to Annual Cross-Over Series Too Stupid For Words.
1: Earth 1 (Silver Age Superheroes), Earth 2 (Golden Age Superheroes), Earth 3 (Run by Supervillains) and Earth Prime (No Superheroes known, corresponding to the real world in many respects). I admit Earth-P is an iffy case for a main timeline.
WONDER WOMAN: THE COMPLETE HISTORY by Les Daniels (Altiverse)
And this too I missed, just as I missed WW's I-Ching years.
