Lacking Natural Simplicity

The Blackgod, by J. Gregory Keyes, copyright 1997; Del Rey/Ballantine Books, May 1998. Book two of the Chosen of the Changeling series. Very good.

Pierced Heart, by Robin D. Laws; Trident, Inc., 1996. A good, though odd, novel set on the island of Al Amarja, the setting of the Over the Edge™ roleplaying game and the On the Edge™ trading card game from Atlas Games.

Delta Green: The Rules of Engagement, A Cthulhu Mythos Novel of Personal Apocalypse, by John Tynes, copyright 1999; Armitage House, February 2000. An interesting novel using the setting of the Delta Green roleplaying game adaptation of the Cthulhu Mythos to the modern world of government consipiracies and sinister aliens.

Wild Jack, by John Christopher, copyright 1974; Collier Books, 2nd edition, 1991. Another of Christopher's odd and depressing young adult SF books.
