Since 1980, 1% of the world has been born with gifts
we'd only dreamed of. The ability to sense a person's
most intimate secrets, or predict the stock market, or
move virtually unseen. For thirty years the world has
struggled with a growing divide between the exceptional
- and the rest of us. Now a terrorist network led by
brilliants has crippled three cities. Supermarket
shelves stand empty. 911 calls go unanswered. Fanatics
are burning people alive. Nick Cooper has always fought
to make the world better for his children. As both a
brilliant and an advisor to the president of the United
States, he's against everything the terrorists
represent. But as America slides toward a devastating
civil war, Cooper is forced to play a game he dares not
lose - because his opponents have their own vision of a
better world. And to reach it, they're willing to burn
this one down.

Chernobyl:
Frederik Pohl
Chernobyl: The very name conjures the catastrophe that
the world feared could happen someday at a nuclear power
plant. On April 26, 1986, a power surge caused the core
of one of the reactors to explode, spewing a cloud of
radioactive steam into the air. More than four thousand
people died, as many as a half-million suffered
potentially cancer-causing exposure, and the city around
the plant became a toxic wasteland in which nothing
could live. Before the disaster at the Chernobyl plant,
nuclear catastrophe had been only a fear, a threat. But
when the Chernobyl plant was destroyed, those fears were
suddenly all too real.

Raven's Shadow (The Wild Hunt): Elspeth Cooper
Three moons are rising. They are rising over the snowy
Archen Mountains, where Teia struggles through the high
passes to carry her warning to the Empire: the Nimrothi
war band is poised to invade and at their head stands
Ytha. She means to release the Wild Hunt - and with it
Maegern the Raven, the Keeper of the Dead. In the desert
of Gimrael, the moons are rising over the fires of
revolution - flames that have already robbed Gair of a
friend and left him alone in a hostile city, unsure even
if the Song is still his to command. He has one last
duty to discharge, and then nothing will stand between
him and his ultimate goal: vengeance. And in the
Nordmen's chilly halls, Savin plays out a game in which
kings and chieftains and men are but pawns on a
chessboard that spans the Veil itself. Three moons are
rising. When the trinity is complete, the endgame will

Awakens (The First Formic War): Orson Scott Card and

Nearly 100 years before the events of Orson Scott Card's
bestselling novel Ender's Game, humans were just
beginning to step off Earth and out into the Solar
System. A thin web of ships in both asteroid belts; a
few stations; a corporate settlement on Luna. No one had
seen any sign of other space-faring races; everyone
expected that First Contact, if it came, would happen in
the future, in the empty reaches between the stars. Then
a young navigator on a distant mining ship saw something
moving too fast, heading directly for our sun. When the
alien ship screamed through the solar system, it
disrupted communications between the far-flung human
mining ships and supply stations, and between them and
Earth. So Earth and Luna were unaware that they had been
invaded until the ship pulled into Earth orbit, and
began landing terra-forming crews in China. Politics and
pride slowed the response on Earth, and on Luna,
corporate power struggles seemed more urgent than
distant deaths. But there are a few men and women who
see that if Earth doesn't wake up and pull together, the
planet could be lost.

Robogenesis:
Daniel H. Wilson
Humankind had triumphed over the machines. At the end of
Robopocalypse, the modern world was largely devastated,
humankind was pressed to the point of annihilation, and
the earth was left in tatters - but the master
artificial intelligence presence known as Archos had
been killed. In Robogenesis, we see that Archos has
survived. Spread across the far reaches of the world,
the machine code has fragmented into millions of pieces,
hiding and regrouping. In a series of riveting
narratives, Robogenesis explores the fates of characters
new and old, robotic and human, as they fight to build a
new world in the wake of a devastating war. Readers will
bear witness as survivors find one another, form into
groups, and react to a drastically different (and
deadly) technological landscape. All the while, the
remnants of Archos's shattered intelligence are seeping
deeper into new breeds of machines, mounting a war that
will not allow for humans to win again.

got company. Atticus's apprentice Granuaile is at last a
full Druid herself. What's more, Atticus has defrosted
an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure
(of sorts) who now goes by the modern equivalent of his
old Irish name: Owen Kennedy. And Owen has some catching
up to do. Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal,
as the student is now the teacher. Between busting
Atticus's chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen
must also learn English. For Atticus, the jury's still
out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the
epic battle with Norse god Loki - or merely a pain in
the arse.

California
Bones: Greg van Eekhout
When Daniel Blackland was six, he ingested his first
bone fragment, a bit of kraken spine plucked out of the
sand during a visit with his demanding, brilliant, and
powerful magician father, Sebastian. When Daniel was
twelve, he watched Sebastian die at the hands of the
Hierarch of Southern California, devoured for the
heightened magic layered deep within his bones. Now,
years later, Daniel is a petty thief with a forged
identity. Hiding amid the crowds in Los Angeles - the
capital of the Kingdom of Southern California - Daniel
is trying to go straight. But his crime-boss uncle has a
heist he wants Daniel to perform: break into the
Hierarch's storehouse of magical artifacts and retrieve
Sebastian's sword, an object of untold power.

Child
of a Hidden Sea: A.M. Dellamonica
One minute, twenty-four-year-old Sophie Hansa is in a
San Francisco alley trying to save the life of the aunt
she has never known. The next, she finds herself flung
into the warm and salty waters of an unfamiliar world.
Glowing moths fall to the waves around her, and the
sleek bodies of unseen fish glide against her submerged
ankles. The world is Stormwrack, a series of island
nations with a variety of cultures and economies - and a
language different from any Sophie has heard. Sophie
doesn't know it yet, but she has just stepped into the
middle of a political firestorm, and a conspiracy that
could destroy a world she has just discovered - her
world, where everyone seems to know who she is, and
where she is forbidden to stay.

Flight
of the Golden Harpy: Susan Klaus
Kari, a young woman, returns to the jungle planet of
Dora after ten years in Earth's schools determined to
unravel the mysteries surrounding the harpies, a feral
species with the appearance half-bird, half-human. The
human colonists believe harpies are dangerous animals,
which are known to steal women. The creatures are hunted
like wild game, their wings considered rare trophies.
But Kari distrusts these rumors. When she was attacked
by a monster in the jungle as a child, a male harpy with
rare golden coloring rescued her. Constant hunting by
men has driven the harpies to the brink of extinction.
Is Kari's savior, the elegant golden harpy, is still
alive? If so, how long can he and his flock survive the
ravages of mankind?
