Synopsis

Six-time Hugo-Award winner Ben Bova presents Farside.Farside, the side of the Moon that never faces Earth, is the ideal location for an astronomical observatory. It is also the setting for a tangled web of politics, personal ambition, love, jealousy, and murder.Telescopes on Earth have detected an Earth-sized planet circling a star some thirty light-years away. Now the race is on to get pictures of that distant world, photographs and spectra that will show whether or not the planet is truly like Earth, and if it bears life.Farside will include the largest optical telescope in the solar system as well as a vast array of radio antennas, the most sensitive radio telescope possible, insulated from the interference of Earth's radio chatter by a thousand kilometers of the Moon's solid body.Building the Farside observatory is a complex, often dangerous task. On the airless surface of the Moon, under constant bombardment of hard radiation and infalling micrometeoroids, builders must work in cumbersome spacesuits and use robotic machines as much as possible. Breakdowns—mechanical and emotional—are commonplace. Accidents happen, some of them fatal.What they find stuns everyone, and the human race will never be the same."Bova's latest novel is one of his best, and a classic use of the old sf theme of humanity reaching out for immortality among the stars."—Booklist (starred review) on FarsideAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

637 children are missing. All taken by one person. 
He leaves no evidence. He leaves no witnesses. He leaves only a name — Panomie. 
When police realise that all 637 kidnappings are linked, they know they’re in over their heads. They hire the warlock, Eddie Lancaster. 
Eddie follows the breadcrumbs and they lead him to the Lower Realm - a world parallel to our own. It is home to many different supernatural beings. As he meets fairies, imps, and gnomes he quickly realises that he’s gotten involved in something far more sinister than a simple kidnapping. Panomie has something far more disturbing in store for his victims. 
But Eddie has his own problems too. The curse inside him urges him to do dark things and each time he gives in he is one step closer to letting evil claim his heart. Soon the damage will be irreversible. 
Eddie has to find a way to break his curse, and stop Panomie without giving in to the dark urges, or else he will become a bigger monster than Panomie himself. 
If you like Shayne Silvers, Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or Ben Aaronovitch, you will LOVE the third installment of the Arcane Inc. series.

Another kingdom has fallen. One that had been ruled by a cruel, callous man. 
Geron was never considered a desirable kingdom by anyone in Reynes, but now that it has no ruler the whores, bastards, and criminals who call that land home begin to spread their poison, infiltrating the other kingdoms with their depravity. 
Seven kingdoms now remain of the original nine, but only six meet at a royal gathering to determine Geron’s fate and the safety of the realm. Honora finds herself unprepared for the aftermath of her brother Lycus actions, as she’s pulled into a dispute forged by the ruling kings and queens vying for control over the home she shared with him. 
Evander sees this gathering as a perfect opportunity to collect the medallions he needs, but he’ll have to be very persuasive in liberating them from their owners without divulging his true identity, or intentions.
