Lies
Sleeping: Aaronovitch, Ben
The Faceless Man, wanted for multiple counts of murder,
fraud, and crimes against humanity, has been unmasked
and is on the run. Peter Grant, Detective Constable and
apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an
unprecedented joint operation to bring him to justice.
But even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan
Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that
the Faceless Man, far from being finished, is executing
the final stages of a long term plan. A plan that has
its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of
history, and could literally bring the city to its
knees. To save his beloved city Peter's going to need
help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley
May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he
thought she believed in. And, far worse, he might even
have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural
killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch.

Shield of the People:
Maresca, Marshall Ryan
After stopping Tharek Pell and saving the Druth
Parliament, Dayne Heldrin and Jerinne Fendall find
themselves on the margins of the Tarian Order: lauded as
heroes in public but scorned and ignored in private,
their future in the Order hazy. Dayne is given an
assignment that isolates him from the Order, and Jerinne
is hazed and bullied at the bottom of the initiate
rankings. But it's a grand holiday week in the city of
Maradaine, celebrating over two centuries of freedom and
the foundation of the reunified modern nation, and with
that come parades, revelry - and protests and
demonstrations. A dissident group called The Open Hand -
and their mysterious, charismatic leader, Bishop Ret
Issendel - seeks to disrupt the Parliament elections
with their message of secession and dissolution.

escape the flames are only half-taught and possess the
skills least useful for survival.
Naked and terrified, the teens stumble from their fiery

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

The
Apollo Deception: Silver, Mitch
Gary Stephens is brought into a government-sanctioned
cover-up when he discovers that his father helped fake
the Apollo 11 moon landing in the 1960s.
After China announce a space mission to place their own
flag next to the one US astronauts planted during the
Apollo 11 mission, few people bat an eyelid. Shortly
after this statement Charlie Stephens, a 81-year-old
former filmmaker, is murdered. The incident is made to
look like an accident, but why? Going through his
father's effects, Gary Stephens - a director of beer and
yogurt ads - discovers seven cans of old 35mm film.
Dated before the landing, they're identical to the
footage NASA claims was shot by the Apollo 11 crew. The
US flag is not and has never been in the Sea of
Tranquillity, and only Tricky Dick and a handful of
others knew it. Why was the real nature of the Apollo 11
mission kept hidden? And what measures will be taken to
keep the secret buried?

The
Best of Greg Egan: Egan, Greg
Greg Egan is arguably Australia's greatest living
science fiction writer. In a career spanning more than
thirty years, he has produced a steady stream of novels
and stories that address a wide range of scientific and
philosophical concerns: artificial intelligence, higher
mathematics, science vs religion, the nature of
consciousness, and the impact of technology on the human
personality. All these ideas and more find their way
into this generous and illuminating collection, the
clear product of a man who is both a master storyteller
and a rigorous, exploratory thinker. The Best of Greg
Egan contains twenty stories and novellas arranged in
chronological order, and each of them is a brilliantly
conceived, painstakingly developed gem.
