It takes one encounter to turn peace into war.
The worlds of the Polity stretch from Earth Central into the unfathomable reaches of the galactic void. And when humanity finally encounters alien life - in the form of massive, hostile carnivores known as the Prador - there can only be one outcome. Total warfare.
Chaos reigns as, caught unawares, the Polity struggles to regain control. It must try and remake itself into a military society as starships clash, planets fall and space stations are overrun. But for Jebel Krong and Moria Salem, trapped at the centre of the action, this war is far more than a clash of cultures or technology versus brute force.
This war is personal.

Now he’s finally received the message he’s been waiting for: a summons to visit the ancient and enigmatic Dornaani.

When the Sleepers wake.
Once, that phrase meant: never. The Sleepers were a myth, part of a story told to children. But in truth, the Sleepers, ancient princes in the court of the Winter Queen, were imprisoned in slumber by the gods themselves - in the cold, dark ruins of the ancient city that lies buried beneath the capitol of the Empire. And that prison is fraying, at last.
They are waking.
The gods no longer walk the world. There is no power that can stand against the princes when they wake - and the city that has been Jewel’s home for her entire life will be destroyed when the Sleepers walk. There is only one person to whom they owe allegiance, only one chance to halt them before they destroy everything in their ancient rage.
But that person is the Winter Queen; she is not, and has never been mortal. Jewel carries the last of the surviving saplings that might usher in a new Summer age - but all of the roads that lead to the court of the Queen are closed.

Historian Thomas Cahill argued that it was the Jewish people who invented the very concept of history as we know it. They were the first to perceive time not as an endless circle of life, death and rebirth, but as the flight of an arrow, on a linear path to somewhere from somewhere. But what if time is not one arrow, but a volley of arrows?
What if there are other timelines, other histories, other Jews? Would they still have a covenant with the one God, or would they know strange gods? Would they have survived banishment, pogrom and Holocaust? What if the Holocaust had not occurred? Or what if it had succeeded beyond Hitler’s darkest dreams?
Some of the world’s greatest speculative fiction authors explore these roads not taken, and many others, in Other Covenants: Alternate Histories of the Jewish People, the first-ever anthology of Jewish alternate history fiction.

For more years than he can remember, astronomer Ernie Cowarth has been sworn to secrecy on behalf of the United States government regarding an incomprehensible lunar event-later known as the "moonflaw" - that occurred in late October 1953. Due to negligent actions of the Apollo 15 crew, who succumbed to their deeper curiosities during what was designed to be a restricted investigation some eighteen years later, cosmic radiation from the event was inadvertently conveyed back to Earth, where it eventually brings about a strange phenomenon: a series of disorienting and disturbing dreams that link together the minds of perfect strangers. Bizarre events ultimately coalesce in the city of Hartford, Connecticut, where a demonic entity has seized opportunity from the fallout, escalating the emissions into a dual threat. From reanimated beings known as Deceivers, who furtively project into the living realm, to a subterranean lair that snakes below the city like a flooded catacomb, unholy horrors await a cast of dream-plagued, fate-bound individuals who must face unfathomable darkness in order to restore humanity as it once was before the Moonflaw.
