  In a cold galaxy where Humans are an oppressed minority, one woman dared to dream, but some secrets were meant to be forgotten. Alize will regret naming her discovery “I Told You So.” 
  Doctoral student Alize Oze finds robot maintenance isn’t as glamorous as guiding museum tours, especially with her father’s failing health looming on her mind. When her professors expel her for delving into research forbidden to humans, she leaves her job and studies behind to pursue her theory: an artifact of unspeakable power is buried on a forgotten moon. 
  Joined by her best friend Fil and a hired shifty thief Binh, they smuggle aboard a ship only to be double-crossed, then hijacked by pirates. Her luck just doesn’t seem to get any better! They steal an escape pod and pick up a pirate defector in order to reach the moon. Unbeknownst to them, a group of terrorists has learned about her theories and want the artifact for themselves. Alize enters the tomb just as the terrorists arrive with her ex-boyfriend among them. The moon, however, doesn’t appreciate these intruders disturbing its slumber. 
  Fans of archaeological adventures, eldritch monsters, and galactic exploration will love MUMMIFIED MOON. It’s like Lara Croft awoke Cthulhu while running from ISIS in space.

  Even ghosts need help from a Cunning Man. 
   
   
   
  Hiram and his son Michael are dowsing a well in Eastern Utah when they hear a cry of help from the ghost of a small boy, torn to pieces by wild animals. Before they can even begin to look into that tragedy, however, a prosperous local rancher is murdered right before their eyes. 
   
   
   
  In an attempt to both help the ghost and find the killer, Hiram and Michael must navigate an eccentric cast of characters that includes failed bank robbers, a seductive fortune-teller, an inept sheriff, a crazy prospector, and a preacher with an apocalyptic grudge against the Roosevelt administration. 
   
   
   
  The mystery, however, isn't just in the hearts of men. There's an astrological puzzle that Michael, now his father's apprentice, must solve. Meanwhile, the murderer is moving slowly against Hiram and Michael, forcing them into a trap from which there is no escape.

  The Vagrant is his name. He has no other. 
  Years have passed since humanity’s destruction emerged from the Breach. 
  Friendless and alone he walks across a desolate, war-torn landscape. 
  As each day passes the world tumbles further into depravity, bent and twisted by the new order, corrupted by the Usurper, the enemy, and his infernal horde. 
  His purpose is to reach the Shining City, last bastion of the human race, and deliver the only weapon that may make a difference in the ongoing war. 
  What little hope remains is dying. Abandoned by its leader, The Seven, and its heroes, The Seraph Knights, the last defences of a once great civilisation are crumbling into dust. 
  But the Shining City is far away and the world is a very dangerous place. 
  In The Vagrant, Peter Newman weaves an epic tale of adventure and dark fantasy, where mythical creatures and dragons abound. This top fiction novel is a testament to the best of the genre, a world where every action can tip the balance of the ongoing war. 
  For fans of Anthony Ryan (A Tide of Black Steel), Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Tiger and the Wolf), John Gwynne (The Hunger of the Gods), R. Scott Bakker (The Unholy Consult), and Brian Staveley (The Empire's Ruin).

  H Beam Piper: OMNILINGUAL - To...

  This short story was first written and published in the year 1957, as part of a collection of short science fiction stories in the collection Astounding Science Fiction. Piper's story is unusual in focusing on the problem of archaeology on an alien culture. How is is possible to decipher writings of an alien race that died out 50,000 years ago? What could we possibly have in common with them? There can be no 'Rosetta Stone' with a shared language so is it impossible? That is the struggle of the protagonist and against all odds she does indeed find a way for our two cultures to meet. An excellent story well written.
