Of
the Mortal Realm (Mancer: 03): Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Hansa, Umber, and Cadmia have managed to fight their way
out of the Abyss and return to Kavet, bringing with them
the long-imprisoned Terre Verte. Prince Verte is
determined to return Kavet to its former magical
strength and restore the royal reign of the Terre
family. He has the ability; his stay in the Abyss has
left him abundantly powerful. But it has also left him
dangerously unstable.But when Naples, once the strongest
Abyssumancer in Kavet - and former ally of Verte - also
returns from the Abyss, Hansa and the others realize it
is not Verte they need to be concerned with. For the
Abyssi and the Numini are engaged in their own grand
war, one that is pouring across the veils of the realms.
And if the magic-users cannot come together to stop
them, the fabric of the mortal world will be destroyed,
taking all of them with it.

The Way of the Shield:
Marshall Ryan Maresca
Dayne Heldrin always dreamed of being a member of the
Tarian Order. In centuries past, the Elite Orders of
Druthal were warriors that stood for order, justice, and
the common people. But now, with constables, King's
Marshals, and a standing army, there is little need for
such organizations, and the Tarian Order is one of the
last remnants of this ancient legacy. Nevertheless,
Dayne trained his body and mind, learned the arts of
defense and fighting, to become a candidate for the
Tarian Order. When a failed rescue puts Dayne at fault
for injuring the child of a powerful family, his future
with the Tarians is in jeopardy. The Parliament controls
the purse strings for the Order, and Dayne has angered
the wrong members of Parliament. He returns to the
capital city of Maradaine in shame, ready to be cast out
of the Order when the period of his candidacy ends.

Stone the Crows:
TA Moore
When the Winter arrives, the Wolves will come down over
the walls and eat little boys in their beds. Doctor
Nicholas Blake might still be afraid of the dark, but
the monsters his grandmother tormented him with as a
child aren't real. Or so he thought - until the sea
freezes, the country grinds to a halt under the snow,
and he finds a half-dead man bleeding out while a dead
woman watches. Now his nightmares impinge on his waking
life, and the only one who knows what's going on is his
unexpected patient. For Gregor it's simple. The
treacherous prophets mutilated him and stole his brother
Jack, and he's going to kill them for it. Without his
wolf, it might be difficult, but he'll be damned if
anyone else gets to kill Jack - even if he has to enlist
the help of his distractingly attractive, but very
human, doctor. Except maybe the prophets want something
worse than death, and maybe Nick is less human than
Gregor believes. As the dead gather and the old stories
come true, the two men will need each other if they're
going to rescue Jack and stop the prophets' plan to
loose something more terrible than the wolf winter.

but that was so far in the past that not even memory

reshape into their original uses. What survives is
shattered into enclaves - some tiny, some ruined, some

that is not human and may never have been human, have
crept monsters. Some creatures are men, twisted into
inhuman evil; some of them are alien to Mankind - And
there are things which are hostile to all life, things
which will raven and kill until they are stopped. A
Leader has arisen, welding the scattered human
settlements together in peace and safety and smashing
the enemies of order with an iron fist. In his capital,
Dun Add, the Leader provides law and justice. In the
universe beyond, his Champions advance - and enforce -

The
Quantum Magician: Derek Kunsken
Belisarius is a Homo quantus, engineered with impossible
insight. But his gift is also a curse - an
uncontrollable, even suicidal drive to know, to
understand. Genetically flawed, he leaves his people to
find a different life, and ends up becoming the galaxy's
greatest con man and thief. But the jobs are getting too
easy and his extraordinary brain is chafing at the
neglect. When a client offers him untold wealth to move
a squadron of secret warships across an enemy wormhole,
Belisarius jumps at it. Now he must embrace his true
nature to pull off the job, alongside a crew of
extraordinary men and women. If he succeeds, he could
trigger an interstellar war - or the next step in human
evolution.

Uncompromising
Honor: David Weber
The Solarian League's navy counts its superdreadnoughts
by the thousands. Not even its own government knows how
enormous its economy truly is. And for hundreds of
years, the League has borne the banner of human
civilization, been the ideal to which humanity aspires
in its diaspora across the galaxy. But the bureaucrats
known as the "Mandarins," who rule today's
League, are not the men and women who founded it so long
ago. They are corrupt, venal, accountable to no one -
and they've decided the upstart Star Kingdom of
Manticore must be destroyed. Honor Harrington has worn
the Star Kingdom's uniform for half a century and served
her monarch and her people well. In the course of those
years, the woman the newsies call the Salamander has
grown from a tactically brilliant but politically naïve
junior officer to supreme fleet command and a seat on
the highest military and political councils of the Grand
Alliance.

her job to protect her version of Earth among an
infinite number of other versions in the vast Multiverse
at any cost. But when Ezra Massad arrived on Ryn's
Earth, her life changed in an instant, and he pushed her
to start asking why she was turned into a Citadel in the
first place. What began as merely an investigation into her origins
ended up hurling Ryn, Ezra, and Ryn's teammate Levi
through the Multiverse and headlong into a conspiracy so
vast and complex that Ryn can no longer merely be a
soldier - she must now be a general. And in becoming a
true leader, she must forge alliances with unpredictable
species, make impossible decisions, and face deep
sacrifices. She must lead not thousands, but hundreds of
thousands of troops under her command and in doing so,
leave any trace of her childhood behind.

Consuming Fire (The Interdependency): John Scalzi
The Interdependency, humanity's interstellar empire, is
on the verge of collapse. The Flow, the
extra-dimensional conduit that makes travel between the
stars possible, is disappearing, leaving entire star
systems stranded. When it goes, human civilization may
go with it - unless desperate measures can be taken.
Emperox Grayland II, the leader of the Interdependency,
is ready to take those measures to help ensure the
survival of billions. But nothing is ever that easy.
Arrayed before her are those who believe the collapse of
the Flow is a myth - or at the very least, an
opportunity that can allow them to ascend to power.
While Grayland prepares for disaster, others are
preparing for a civil war, a war that will take place in
the halls of power, the markets of business and the
altars of worship as much as it will take place between
spaceships and battlefields.

Astounding:
John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L.
Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction:
Alec
Nevala-Lee
This remarkable cultural narrative centers on the figure
of John W. Campbell, Jr., whom Asimov called "the
most powerful force in science fiction ever."
Campbell, who has never been the subject of a biography
until now, was both a visionary author - he wrote the
story that was later filmed as The Thing - and the
editor of the groundbreaking magazine best known as
Astounding Science Fiction, in which he discovered
countless legendary writers and published classic works
ranging from the I, Robot series to Dune. Over a period
of more than thirty years, from the rise of the pulps to
the debut of Star Trek, he dominated the genre, and his
three closest collaborators reached unimaginable
heights. Asimov became the most prolific author in
American history; Heinlein emerged as the leading
science fiction writer of his generation with the novels
Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land; and
Hubbard achieved lasting fame - and infamy - as the
founder of the Church of Scientology.
