Triumphant
(Genesis Fleet: 03): Campbell, Jack
The recently colonized world of Glenlyon has learned
that they're stronger when they stand with other star
systems than they are on their own. But after helping
their neighbor Kosatka against an invasion, Glenlyon has
become a target. The aggressive star systems plan to
neutralize Glenlyon before striking again. An attack is
launched against Glenlyon's orbital facility with forces
too powerful for fleet officer Rob Geary to counter
using their sole remaining destroyer, Saber. Mele
Darcy's Marines must repel repeated assaults while their
hacker tries to get into the enemy systems to give Saber
a fighting chance. To survive, Glenlyon needs more
firepower, and the only source for that is their
neighbor Kosatka or other star systems that have so far
remained neutral. But Kosatka is still battling the
remnants of the invasion forces on its own world, and if
it sends its only remaining warship to help will be left
undefended against another invasion.

A Witch in Time: Simmons, Wm
Mark
Years back, a blood transfusion with a member of the
undead left Christopher Cséjthe a half-vampire. Since
that time, he’s gone mano y monster with zombies,
werewolves, master vampires, and creatures from the
Cthulhu Lagoon - not to mention an immortal Nazi, an
ancient Babylonian demon, a six-thousand-year-old
necromancer, voodoo queen Marie Laveau, the mad monk
Rasputin, and a couple of the Great Old Ones. As founder
of After Dark Investigations, he’s seen his fair share
of the seedy side of the supernatural world. He’s
saved New Orleans from total destruction in the past.
And lost his family to another temporal realm. To add
insult to injury, someone cut the gas line of his SUV
and then ran over him with a semi-truck while he tried
to get a tow. But this is the third time Chris has died.

The
Gordian Protocol: Weber, David
History professor Benjamin Schröder lives a happy life.
He has a job he loves in a profession he adores. Then
everything changes. A student’s dissertation on
Operation Yellow Brick, the Pacific Allies' invasion of
Vladivostok, staged through occupied Japan to meet their
Imperial German allies sets off a psychotic episode in
Schröder. It has to be psychotic, right? Schröder is
flooded with memories of a different, ghastly world in
which Operation Yellow Brick never happened. Memories of
helpless civilians slaughtered in extermination camps. A
world where the Chinese Communists succeeded. Where the
Middle East became a festering sore of bloodshed and
fanaticism. Worst of all - a world filled with thousands
of nuclear warheads waiting to launch! Then a lunatic
knocks on Schröder’s door. He’s a man with an
impossible story about alternate realities, time travel,
temporal knots, and a dozen doomed universes which must
inevitably die. It’s all beginning to sound - true.

This forms a tentative peace between the two races, but

millions dead and mixed emotions between the earthbound
nations and the spacefaring Alliance. Tensions rise as
governments try to infiltrate the organization in order
to gain an upper hand in world politics; however, the
Alliance has bigger fish to fry as they learn more about
their new enemy - the Korvil. Like something from a

They will stop at nothing until they are the alpha race

Lawyers - pardon me, attorneys - may be portrayed in
fiction as the good guys (and gals) or as greedy
conniving shysters.
In mundane fiction, the former are represented ably by
Earle Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason and by Harper Lee’s
Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (we’ll pass
over her other novel, Go Set a Watchman, with a less
inspiring portrait - consider it obviously set in a
parallel world). The less favorable view was expressed
by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his SF classic, A Princess of
Mars, in which his doubly immortal John Carter observes
that the Martians are very fortunate in that, while they
may behave with savage cruelty, and are constantly at
war, at least they have no lawyers.

Forged
in Shadow: Haskell, Megan
As the youngest son of the greatest smith of the fae,
Curuthannor should be aspiring to the forge. Instead, he
would rather wield a blade than craft one. When the high
elf king commissions a powerful enchanted sword
requiring iron found only in the subterranean goblin
mines of the Shadow Realm, Curuthannor seizes the
opportunity to earn a place in the smithy that doesn't
require a hammer. But when dark elf treachery
interferes, the lives of his entire family could be at
risk - for the high elf king is unmerciful and will not
suffer disobedience. Especially from his own daughter.
As the most trusted handmaiden to the high elf princess,
Lhéwen is honored to attend her mistress on what she
believes is a diplomatic delegation to the dark elf
king. She doesn't realize it could be a one-way trip.

Time: Taylor, Jodi

Their success is legendary, and the Time Wars are over.

different future - their own. This is the story of Jane,
Luke and Matthew - arguably the worst recruits in Time

Sons
of War: Smith, Nicholas Sansbury
Across the world, the United States recalls troops to
combat civil unrest after the biggest economic meltdown
in history. Marine Sergeant Ronaldo Salvatore’s
platoon comes home to a powder keg that could ignite a
civil war. While some see the coming collapse as the
end, others see opportunity. Fleeing Naples after rival
crime lords decimated his family, Don Antonio Moretti
settles in Los Angeles to rebuild his criminal empire.
But he is far from alone in his ambitions - the cartel
and rival gangs all want the same turf, and they will
sacrifice their own soldiers and the blood of innocents
to get it. As open warfare erupts across the states,
Salvatore fights his way back to LA, where his son has
joined the police in the battle for a city spiraling
into anarchy. Family is everything, and the Morettis and
Salvatores will do what they must to protect their own.
But how far will they go to survive in a new economy
where the only currency is violence?

The
Girl and the Stars: Lawrence, Mark
In the ice, east of the Black Rock, there is a hole into
which broken children are thrown. Yaz’s people call it
the Pit of the Missing and now it is drawing her in as
she has always known it would. To resist the cold, to
endure the months of night when even the air itself
begins to freeze, requires a special breed. Variation is
dangerous, difference is fatal. And Yaz is not the same.
Yaz’s difference tears her from the only life she’s
ever known, away from her family, from the boy she
thought she would spend her days with, and has to carve
out a new path for herself in a world whose existence
she never suspected. A world full of difference and
mystery and danger. Yaz learns that Abeth is older and
stranger than she had ever imagined. She learns that her
weaknesses are another kind of strength and that the
cruel arithmetic of survival that has always governed
her people can be challenged.

The
Last Emperox (Interdependency: 03): Scalzi, John
The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway
between the planets of the Interdependency, has
accelerated. Entire star systems - and billions of
people - are becoming cut off from the rest of human
civilization. This collapse was foretold through
scientific prediction - and yet, even as the evidence is
obvious and insurmountable, many still try to
rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of
one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known.
Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her
empire from those who oppose her and who deny the
reality of this collapse. But "control" is a
slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as
many of her people form impoverished isolation, the
forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate
push to topple her from her throne and power, by any
means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of
allies must use every tool at their disposal to save
themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be
enough.

Enter Julius Dax, online repoman and real-life thief.
He's been hired for a special job: stealing an unknown
object from a reclusive tech billionaire. But when he

Starborn
and Godsons (Heorot: 03): Niven, Larry
Avalon was thriving. The cold sleep colonists from Earth
had settled on a verdant, livable world. The fast and
cunning predators humans named "grendels" were
under control, and the mainland outposts well
established. Avalon's new mainland hydroelectric power
station was nearly complete, and when on-line would
compensate for the nuclear power systems lost in the
Grendel Wars. Humans would have power, and with power
came the ability to make all the necessities for life.
They would survive. They would not survive as a
spacefaring people. What they were losing faster than
they knew was the ability to get to space. But
unbeknownst to the planet-bound humans, something was
moving out there in the stars, decelerating at a rate
impossible for a natural object. And its destination was
Avalon. The most probable origin was Earth's Solar
System.

Mistress of Illusions (Dreamscape: 02): Resnick, Michael
Her name is Lisa, and ever since Eddie Raven hooked up
with her, strange things keep happening. How strange?
Lisa can take on any role at a moment's notice. She's
Maid Marian. She's Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and
Prejudice. In an instant, she can become the sexy,
gum-chewing secretary to his hard-boiled detective. She
can even become Doc Holliday's frontier lady, Big Nose
Kate. But who is she really? That's something Eddie's
got to find out before this series of strange
adventures, which began in The Master of Dreams,
overtakes him. And if Lisa's not enough of a problem,
there's also the powerful creature who claims to be the
chief demon in hell, who seems convinced that he, Eddie,
and Lisa are on the same side. Is Eddie being told the
truth? He'd better decide quickly, because the one thing
that's clear is that he's running out of time.
