Queen of Sorrow (Queens
of Renthia: 03): Sarah Durst
Queen Daleina has yearned to bring peace and prosperity
to her beloved forest home - a hope that seemed doomed
when neighboring forces invaded Aratay. Now, with the
powerful Queen Naelin ruling by her side, Daleina
believes that her dream of ushering in a new era can be
realized, even in a land plagued by malevolent nature
spirits who thirst for the end of human life.
But then Naelin's children are kidnapped by spirits.
Naelin would rather watch the world burn than see her
children harmed - and she is ready to start a war with
the north to secure their return.
But defeated Queen Merecot of Semo has grander plans
than a bloody battle with her southern neighbors. Taking
the children is merely one step in a plot to change the
future of all Renthia, either by ending the threat of
spirits once and for all - or by plunging the world into
chaos.

Heart of What Was Lost: Tad Williams
In the wake of the Storm King's fall, Ineluki's loyal
minions, the Norns, dark cousins to the Sithi, choose to
flee the lands of men and retreat north to Nakkiga,

make their way to this last haven, the mortal Rimmersman
Duke Isgrimnur leads an army in pursuit, determined to
end the Norns' attacks and defeat their ageless Queen

Endri, joined the mortal army to help achieve this
ambitious goal - though as they venture farther and
farther into the frozen north, braving the fierce
resistance and deadly magics of the retreating Norns,
they cannot help but wonder what they are doing so very
far from home. Meanwhile, the Norns must now confront
the prospect of extinction at the hands of Isgrimnur and
his mortal army.

new opportunities and fears arise when Alpha station
receives news of an incoming ship with no
identification. The denizens of Alpha wait anxiously for
news about the outsiders, each with their own suspicions
about the ship and its origins. Ross and Fallon, crew
members of the Galway, believe the unidentified ship
belongs to Pell and has come to investigate another
massive ship docked at Alpha, The Rights of Man. Though
Rights is under the command of the Earth Company, it is
not quite perfected - and its true purpose is shrouded
in mystery.

Rewrite:
Loops in the Timescape: Gregory Benford
It's 2002, and Charlie, in his late forties, is a bit of
a sad-sack professor of history going through an
unpleasant divorce. While flipping the cassette of an
audiobook he gets into a car accident with a truck, and
wakes up, fully aware as his adult mind, in his
sixteen-year-old body in 1968.
Charlie does the thing we all imagine: he takes what he
remembers of the future and uses it for himself in his
present, the past. He becomes a screenwriter,
anticipating the careers of Francis Ford Coppola and
Steven Spielberg, and then, in a 1980s life of excess,
he dies, and wakes up again in his bedroom at sixteen in
1968.
Charlie realizes things he didn't see the first time:
that there are others like him, like Albert Einstein,
Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein. In fact, there is a
society of folks who loop through time to change the
world for their agenda. Now, Charlie knows he has to do
something other than be self-indulgent and he tries to
change one of the events of 1968 in this clever
thriller.
