Sabella: Lee, Tanith
On the rosy sands of a distant Earth colony, Sabella
lives a quiet life in her isolated home - carefully
hiding her vampirism from society. Sabella may not be
undead, but she is painfully allergic to sunlight,
possesses supernatural strength and speed, and feeds on
fresh blood. In her youth, Sabella seduced a number of
men, killing them all for fear of discovery. But with
age comes control, and Sabella has sworn off of drinking
human blood. After four years of staying clean, Sabella
receives an invitation to her Aunt Cassi's funeral -
along with several thousand credits to ensure she
attends the reading of the will. But when Sabella
arrives at the funeral, she discovers that the funds
were a ruse. Before her death, Cassi - a devout
Christian Revivalist - discovered the truth about
Sabella and tasked her manservant, John Trim, to hunt
Sabella down. Trim hires private investigator Sand
Vincent to get close to Sabella and suss out the truth.

Master of the World:
Willett, Edward
Shawna Keys has fled the world she only recently
discovered she Shaped, narrowly escaping death at the
hands of the Adversary who seized control of it - and
losing her only guide, Karl Yatsar, in the process. Now
she finds herself alone in some other Shaper's world,
where, in her first two hours, she's rescued from a
disintegrating island by an improbable flying machine
she recognizes from Jules Verne's Robur the Conqueror,
then seized from it by raiders flying tiny personal
helicopters, and finally taken to a submarine that bears
a strong resemblance to Captain Nemo's Nautilus. Oh, and
accused of being both a spy and a witch.
In the meantime, she has to navigate a world where two
factions fanatically devoted to their respective leaders
are locked in perpetual combat, figure out who the
Shaper of the world is, find him or her, and obtain the
secret knowledge of this world's Shaping.

Lies of Descent:
Bucher,
Troy Carrol
The Fallen Gods' War drove the remnants of a victorious
army across the ocean in search of a new homeland. A
thousand years later, the lifeless continent of Draegora
is largely forgotten, a symbol for the regiments that
remain. Demons to some. Protectors to others. The power
of their god-touched blades has forged a nation, though
many resent their absolute control. Riam and Nola are
unknowing descendants of the old world. When it’s
discovered they carry enough Draegoran blood to serve in
the regiments, they are dragged away from their families
to begin training. If they survive, they will be
expected to enforce the laws of the covenant, to fight
the Esharii tribesmen who raid along the border, and to
be judge, jury, and executioners for those accused of
crimes. For Riam, who welcomes his escape from an
abusive father, the power to protect those who cannot
defend themselves is alluring. For Nola, who wishes to
return home, it is a betrayal by all she holds dear.

Legion: Many Lives of Stephen Leeds:
Sanderson, Brandon
A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any
new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours.
However, to contain all of this, his mind creates
hallucinatory people - Stephen calls them aspects - to
hold and manifest the information. Wherever he goes, he
is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice,
interpretation, and explanation. He uses them to solve
problems - for a price. His brain is getting a little
crowded and the aspects have a tendency of taking on
lives of their own. When a company hires him to recover
stolen property - a camera that can allegedly take
pictures of the past - Stephen finds himself in an
adventure crossing oceans and fighting terrorists. What
he discovers may upend the foundation of three major
world religions - and, perhaps, give him a vital clue
into the true nature of his aspects.

it, the first time Malorie has allowed herself to hope.

Quantum
Shadows: Modesitt, L E
On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of
mankind each have its own land governed by a capital
city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god,
or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own
towns or villages of belief.
Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the
collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With
this knowledge comes enormous power. When unknown power
burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of
each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what
entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes
are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't
stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes.

Axiom's
End: Ellis, Lindsay
It’s fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that
the US government might have engaged in first contact.
Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the
whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is
her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn’t
spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the
attention of the press, the Internet, the paparazzi, and
the government - and with him in hiding, that attention
is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her
father’s leaks are a hoax, and wants nothing to do
with him - until she learns just how deeply entrenched
her family is in the cover-up, and that an
extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth for decades.

Unconquerable
Sun: Elliott, Kate
Princess Sun has finally come of age. Growing up in the
shadow of her mother, Eirene, has been no easy task. The
legendary queen-marshal did what everyone thought
impossible: expel the invaders and build Chaonia into a
magnificent republic, one to be respected - and feared.
But the cutthroat ambassador corps and conniving noble
houses have never ceased to scheme - and they have plans
that need Sun to be removed as heir, or better yet,
dead.
To survive, the princess must rely on her wits and
companions: her biggest rival, her secret lover, and a
dangerous prisoner of war. Take the brilliance and
cunning courage of Princess Leia - add in a dazzling
futuristic setting where pop culture and propaganda are
one and the same - and hold on tight:

Every
Sky a Grave: Posey, Jay
Far in the future, human beings have seeded themselves
amongst the stars. Since decoding the language of the
universe 8,000 years ago, they have reached the very
edges of their known galaxy and built a near-utopia
across thousands of worlds, united and ruled by a
powerful organization known as the Ascendance. The
peaceful stability of their society relies solely on
their use of this Deep Language of the cosmos. But this
knowledge is a valuable secret, and a holy order of
monastics known as the First House are tasked with
monitoring its use and “correcting” humanity’s
further development. Elyth is one such mendicant,
trained as a planetary assassin, capable of infiltrating
and ultimately destroying worlds that have been
corrupted, using nothing more than her words. To this
end, Elyth is sent to the world Qel in response to the
appearance of a forbidden strain of the Deep Language
that was supposed to have died out with its founder over
seven hundred years prior. What she finds on the
backwater planetoid will put her abilities to the test
and challenge what she knows of the Deep Language, the
First House, and the very nature of the universe.

Uranus:
Bova, Ben
On a privately financed orbital habitat above the planet
Uranus, political idealism conflicts with pragmatic, and
illegal, methods of financing. Add a scientist who has
funding to launch a probe deep into Uranus‘s ocean
depths to search for signs of life, and you have a
three-way struggle for control. Humans can’t live on
the gas giants, making instead a life in orbit. Kyle
Umber, a religious idealist, has built Haven, a
sanctuary above the distant planet Uranus. He invites
”the tired, the sick, the poor“ of Earth to his
orbital retreat where men and women can find spiritual
peace and refuge from the world. The billionaire who
financed Haven, however, has his own designs: beyond the
reach of the laws of the inner planets Haven could
become the center for an interplanetary web of
narcotics, prostitution, even hunting human prey.
Meanwhile a scientist has gotten funding from the Inner
Planets to drop remote probes into the “oceans” of
Uranus, in search of life. He brings money and prestige,
but he also brings journalists and government oversight
to Haven. And they can’t have that.

alien. The Lunar colonists perceive this great discovery
as their own. Finders keepers and possession being
nine-tenths of the law is how things are on the Moon.
But as far as the governments of the Earth are concerned
- they paid for everything on the Moon, so it belongs to
them. There is only one solution: turn Luna into a
battlefield!

The
Dawn of a Nazi Moon: MacKinnon, Douglas
“Madam President. The nuclear bombs just detonated in
China, Russia, and off the coast of the United States
did not, I repeat, did not originate from the planet
Earth. It is my opinion, and the opinion of everyone
here, that the Earth can no longer be defended from the
Earth.” President Carolina Garcia sat in the Roosevelt
Room across the hall from the Oval Office and gazed at
the four people sitting opposite her in unblinking
shock. As she looked at the Secretary of Defense, the
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the
Director of the FBI, and the Administrator of NASA, her
mind was so scrambled that she could not even remember
which one just uttered the surreal and blood-chilling
identity of the enemy which just attacked earth.
