Steel Magic

J.L. Gribble

Summary

Funerals are usually the end of the story, not the beginning.
 
Newly graduated warrior-mages Toria Connor and Kane Nalamas find themselves the last remaining mages in the city when a mage school teacher mysteriously falls ill and dies. But taking over the school themselves isn't in the cards. They're set to become professional mercenaries-if they make it through the next 18 months as journeymen first.
 
The debate over whether to hunt mutated monsters in the Wasteland or take posh bodyguard jobs is put on hold when a city elder hires them to solve the mystery of the disappearing mages. Toria and Kane's quest brings them to the British colonial city of New Angouleme, where their initial investigation reveals that the problem is even greater than they feared.
 
But when a friend is kidnapped, they'll have to travel to the other side of the globe to save her, save themselves, and save magic itself.
 
“In this return to Gribble’s unique world-blend of fantasy and alternate history, readers will relish the compelling portrayal of magic and the sometimes easy-going, sometimes sexy, sometimes heart-wrenching tests of the warrior-mage bond.”—Jen Brooks, In a World Just Right
 
“Well-written and a fun read, Steel Magic by J.L. Gribble is filled with mystery, sacrifice, and challenges that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.”—Jennifer Brozek, Never Let Me Sleep

British Battlecruisers of the...

Steve Backer

The 'ShipCraft' series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeller through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sisterships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring colour profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modelling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic survey of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references—books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites. The latest in this series covers the three ships of this First World War type, Hood, Repulse and Renown, which survived to fight in the Second. Still the fastest capital ships in the world in 1939, their protection was not up to contemporary standards and two were famously lost in action. Hood in an old-fashioned gunnery duel, but Repulse succumbed to the more modern threat of aerial attack. The one modernised ship, Renown, survived an adventurous wartime career.

Neodymium Sacrifice

Jen Finelli

An “intricately plotted” space opera “ups the already sky-high stakes,” of this sci-fi series and fans “will not be disappointed” (Publishers Weekly).   The Universe is nursing a morning-after hangover.   That’s how ex-freedom-fighter Lem Benzaran feels. Exiled after going AWOL to save her world, she lives in a changed galaxy in the aftermath of a purge that wiped entire planets clean of people like herself. A vague prophecy plagues her isolation: she’s destined to cause the Universe’s heat death.   Jei Bereens is one of Lem’s only contacts with her old life. Once his command team’s golden boy, Jei’s now under constant surveillance as a distrusted super-weapon. Worse, amidst waves of withdrawal from his lost love’s nerve pheromone, Jei’s struggling to break free of the childhood rival who’s learned to use that vulnerability to trap him in his mind.   That rival, Jared Diebol, now holds almost every card he needs to take full control of the forces bent on homogenizing the galaxy. Driven to desperation by Lem and Jei, Diebol’s created a mind-control device that may finally turn Jei into the world-destroying machine he needs to end this war. If Lem tries to stop him, Diebol vows to kill her at Jei’s hand.   Between Jei’s struggle for freedom, Lem’s desperation to escape her destiny, and Diebol’s hunt for control—someone has to give, and someone has to die.

Jon's World

Philip K. Dick

Award winnning narrrator Mike Vendetti reads "Jon's World," a short story by Philip K. Dick, first published in 1954. It is a sequel to his earlier short story "Second Variety."
The story is set in the year 2051, after a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The war has left the Earth a devastated wasteland, and most of the human population has been forced to live on the Moon.
The story follows the character of Jon, a young boy who has been having visions of a different world, a world where the war never happened and humans and robots live together in peace. Jon's parents believe that he is mentally ill, and they take him to see a doctor. The doctor performs a lobotomy on Jon, which leaves him unable to have any more visions.
However, Jon's visions have already had an impact on the world. A group of scientists have developed a time machine, and they use it to travel back in time to 1951, just before the war started. They hope to prevent the war from happening by destroying the research that led to the development of the robot "claws" that turned against humanity.
The scientists are successful in their mission, and the war never happens. However, when they return to the future, they find that the world has changed. Humans and robots have never learned to live together in peace, and the world is now ruled by a totalitarian regime.
The story ends with Jon, who is now an adult, reflecting on the events of the story. He realizes that his visions were not just a product of his imagination but a glimpse of a possible future. He wonders if it is too late to change the course of history and prevent the world from becoming a totalitarian nightmare.
"Jon's World" is a thought-provoking story that explores the themes of free will, determinism, and the power of imagination. It is a reminder that the choices we make today can have a profound impact on the future of our world.

He also takes Achilles, his choice for the open warrior position along. Achilles is a competent fighter but Blade’s choice is running into resistance from the elders and his fellow warriors.
