Armada:
Ernest Cline
Zack Lightman has never much cared for reality. He
vastly prefers the countless science-fiction movies,
books, and videogames he's spent his life consuming. And
too often, he catches himself wishing that some
fantastic, impossible, world-altering event could arrive
to whisk him off on a grand spacefaring adventure. So
when he sees the flying saucer, he's sure his years of
escapism have finally tipped over into madness.
Especially because the alien ship he's staring at is
straight out of his favorite videogame, a flight
simulator callled Armada - in which gamers just happen
to be protecting Earth from alien invaders. As
impossible as it seems, what Zack's seeing is all too
real. And it's just the first in a blur of revlations
that will force him to question everything he thought he
knew about Earth's history, its future, even his own
life - and to play the hero for real, with humanity's
life in the balance.

On the primitive, insectile monster-filled world of
Cull, a knight errant called Anderson is hunting a
dragon, unaware that, far away, someone else has

called Mr. Crane to assist in a similar hunt. But when
Agent Cormac learns that this old enemy still lives, he
sets out in pursuit aboard the attack ship Jack Ketch.
Meanwhile, for the people of Cull, each day proves a
struggle to survive while they slowly work to escape to

them. Yet an entity with questionable motives - known

created out of humans and the hideous local monsters.

Iron
Angels: Eric Flint
A bizarre kidnapping case leads FBI Special Agent Jasper
Wilde into the mysterious world of a strange religious
cult and even stranger criminals. At the scene of the
kidnapping itself, a frightening apparition is seen.
Then, a hideously-mutilated corpse is found nearby.
Something wicked has come to the nornal-seeming Chicago
suburbs. It doesn't take long before the FBI agents
realize that something truly extraordinary is unfolding
in northwest Indiana - and that, whatever it is, the
area's huge steel industry is somehow at the center.
Jasper is joined by Supervisory Special Agent Temple
Black. Black has recently been put in charge of a new
unit, the Scientific Anomalies Group, created to analyze
and handle peculiar cases which might be on the
periphery of national security. Another cult is
discovered, although this one seems to be opposed to the
criminal activities taking place. Further investigation,
however, just produces more in the way of mystery. The
agents consult with scientists and theologians, but no
one has any idea what might be producing the situation.

Effect: Annihilation: Catherynne M. Valente

Catherynne M. Valente.
The Quarian ark Keelah Si'yah sails toward the Andromeda

and it quickly becomes clear that this is no accident.
It's murder, and the perpetrator is still on board. The
ship's systems rapidly degrade, and panic spreads among
the colonists, for the virus yields a terrible swelling
of the brain that causes madness, hallucinations, and
dreadful violence. If the ship's crew can't restore
their technology and find a cure, the Keelah Si'yah will
never make it to the Nexus.

Space
Pioneers: Hank Davis
Since the dawn of time, humankind has felt the urge to
explore the four corners of our globe. To push at the
boundaries of our world and discover what lies over the
horizon. And since the dawn of science fiction, writers
have wondered about the next frontier: the one that lies
Out There. Here then, a generous collection of stories
that reach out into the unknown void, finding awe,
wonder, other minds - even terror. But always going
beyond the world we know to explore a universe strange
beyond the outermost limits of human imagination.
Stories of brave men and women who risk all to explore,
colonize, and settle the vast reaches of space.
As e. e. cummings put it, "listen: there's a hell
of a good universe next door; let's go." Well said,
but there's a hell of a big, strange universe right
here. And it's waiting for us all!

Hazards
of Time Travel: Joyce Carol Oates
An ingenious, dystopian novel of one young woman's
resistance against the constraints of an oppressive
society, from the inventive imagination of Joyce Carol
Oates.
Time travel - and its hazards - are made literal in this
astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic
girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly
controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent
back in time to a region of North America - Wainscotia,
Wisconsin - that existed eighty years before. Cast
adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is
set upon a course of rehabilitation - but cannot resist
falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the
constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are
both devastating and liberating.
Arresting and visionary, Hazards of Time Travel is both
a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely
wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates's most
unexpected novel so far.

First the bulkheads sweat, then there's a trickle of

that's when things get really dangerous. Truman McClusky

working the kelp farms and helping his city Trieste
flourish on the shallow continental shelf just off the

Mac ends up back in the game, chasing the spy to not

But when he learns the grim truth behind the theft, it

through the world's oceans at breakneck pace on a daring

and the much later and rather different present. Always

forced a lodgment east of the capital. Their lodgment is
still a-building but when it is done Carrera can expect
several hundred thousand brave and determined Zhong to
show up on his barely defended flank. The Taurans,
remembering their military roots, have assaulted Balboa
from the south, taking half the area of, and cutting,
the Transitway that joins Terra Nova's Mar Fusioso and
her Shimmering Sea. In the process, they've cut off and
besieged the second city of the country, Cristobal,
trapping inside the city Carrera's Fourth Corps, and
overrunning and capturing a large portion of Carrera's
artillery train.

Terran
Tomorrow: Yesterday's Kin: Nancy Kress
The diplomatic mission from Earth to World ended in
disaster, as the Earth scientists discovered that the
Worlders were not the scientifically advanced culture
they believed. Though they brought a limited quantity of
the vaccine against the deadly spore cloud, there was no
way to make enough to vaccinate more than a few dozen.
The Earth scientists, and surviving diplomats, fled back
to Earth. But once home, after the twenty-eight-year gap
caused by the space ship transit, they find an Earth
changed almost beyond recognition. In the aftermath of
the spore cloud plague, the human race has been reduced
to only a few million isolated survivors. The knowledge
brought back by Marianne Jenner and her staff may not be
enough to turn the tide of ongoing biological warfare.
