Summary

A cyborg assassin opts to save—not take—her target’s life, in this post-apocalyptic adventure by the author of Afterwar and the Dante Valentine series. Her name is unimportant. She is her job: a liquidator. Deep in debt for cyborg modifications, the agent eliminates whatever target she’s given. It’s a relatively simple job—until now. Her latest assignment is to kill a child, and she can’t refuse—because refusal means Dismissal, a fate worse than death. Instead, the operative smuggles her target out of the city, away from his corporate caretakers. But little Geoff is a gifted, genetically engineered, profitable experiment, and everyone—bounty hunters, fellow cyborgs, brain-fried cannibals, and other monsters—is desperate to get their hands on him. The agent may be practically indestructible, but she’s about to test her limits. Hell hath no fury like a mother protecting her own . . .

    In the first in New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon's Kitchen Witch series, Mia Malone is starting over in Magic Springs, Idaho—where murder is on the menu . . . What's a kitchen witch to do when her almost-fiancé leaves her suddenly single and unemployed? For Mia Malone, the answer's simple: move to her grandmother's quirky Idaho hometown, where magic is an open secret and witches and warlocks are (mostly) welcome. With a new gourmet dinner delivery business—and a touch of magic in her recipes—Mia's hopes are high. Even when her ex's little sister, Christina, arrives looking for a place to stay, Mia takes it in stride. But her first catering job takes a distasteful turn when her client's body is found, stabbed and stuffed under the head table. Mia's shocked to learn that she's a suspect—and even more so when she realizes she's next on a killer's list. With Christina, along with Mia's meddling grandma, in the mix, she'll have to find out which of the town’s eccentric residents has an appetite for murder . . . before this fresh start comes to a sticky end . . .

    The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster - In a future where human contact is almost eliminated by The Machine, Vashti’s tranquil, isolated life is interrupted by a plea from her son, to experience the world outside the Machine’s influence. As Vashti struggles to understand his desire to see the stars from the Earth’s surface, a profound disconnect between their realities begins to emerge. 
The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster is a dystopian novella that explores a future where humanity lives underground, relying entirely on a vast, all-encompassing Machine that caters to every need. People live in isolation, communicating through video screens and avoiding physical interaction. The story follows Vashti, a lecturer who believes in the Machine’s infallibility, and her son Kuno, who dares to question its authority. Kuno’s rebellious journey to the Earth’s surface reveals a world destroyed by the Machine’s dominance. As he learns the truth, the Machine begins to break down, leading to the collapse of the society it controlled. The novella serves as a powerful critique of technological dependence, dehumanization, and the loss of individuality. Forster’s work, written in 1909, eerily predicts many aspects of modern life, making it a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of technology’s impact on humanity.
