  A deep-cover spy among mercenaries faces the ultimate test of loyalty when a mysterious woman from his dreams and a galaxy-spanning conflict challenge his mission and his heart. 
  When undercover operative Lex breaks cover to save Marissa, a checkpoint worker with a secret illness, from the clutches of a ruthless mercenary captain, he sets them both on a path that weaves through danger, betrayal, and unexpected romance. As they traverse the universe, Lex must balance his loyalties between his mission, his crew, and the woman who appeared in his mate dream. Marissa, meanwhile, finds herself torn between her impending death and the adventurous life she's suddenly thrust into. Dodging mercenaries and a powerful weapon that could neutralize their power, their unlikely alliance leads to a love neither of them expected. 
  Brought together by fate, tested by peril, and united by love, will they survive to see the end of their cosmic adventure? And as they face their biggest battle yet, will their bond be their salvation or their downfall?

  Having placed a bounty on the heads of the alien Klin and Kracori races, Humanity must now face the desperate wrath of mankind's worst enemies, who have once again joined forces for a preemptive strike against the Earth. Their plan is brilliant . . . and only the special abilities of ex-Navy SEAL Adam Cain can save the planet. 
   
   
   
  It's a frantic race against time, as Adam and Sherri Valentine arrive on Earth just in time to help mount a ragtag defense against the Kracori fleet. But will it be enough? 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile, Riyad Tarazi is on his own, carrying out the dangerous assignment of verifying the location of the Kracori homeworld of Elision. Riyad soon discovers he's in the middle of a hornet's nest of deadly aliens, every bit the equal of the Human Supermen. Will he succeed, or will he become just another casualty of a galaxy growing ever more hostile to Mankind? 
   
   
   
  In addition, the evil Englishman Nigel McCarthy is up his old tricks as well, and his actions resurrect the sleeping giant of the Juireans. It's the last thing the Humans need is another deadly alien race devoted to their destruction.

  Betrayed. Broken. Poisoned. 
   
   
   
  No longer alone, Sam and Alec struggle to find time to continue their studies together. Sam knows that she is more than the lowborn she'd long believed, now living and training in the palace, but still doesn't feel as if she quite fits in. Worse, it seems as if Alec has moved on without her, preferring his new life in the university. 
   
    
   
  Alec has quickly risen in rank, but that only draws attention to him. Learning from master physickers has its benefits, but there are dangers and he's not certain whether he can trust the new friends he’s made. Evidence continues to mount of a conspiracy within the university, and it’s one he'll need Sam's help in understanding. 
   
   
   
  While Alec tries to reach out to Sam, she searches for Marin and answers that might unlock her full potential. What she finds instead is a threat to the safety in the city, protections that have long prevented the Thelns from reaching Verdholm, if they haven’t already breached them. 
   
   
   
  Together, they are the key to stopping Marin, but can they master their new places in the city in time?

  This is one of the few Bradbury short stories that has never been reprinted since its appearance in the Spring 1948 issue of PLANET STORIES.
  It's about an old man named Nibley who has a unique, almost supernatural ability to calculate the orbits of objects in motion. That's a valuable ability to have for navigating in space, of course, but science has passed Nibley by and all rockets now have radar computators to handle such navigation. But then an accident happens and the fate of the entire Earth colony on Jupiter relies on getting a supply ship through the Asteroid Belt without its instruments, with only a dying old man to guide the way . . .

  The Book Censor's Library - A Novel

  Bothayna Al-Essa

  • 0

  • 0

  FINALIST, National Book Award for Translated Literature, 2024 
   
   
   
  A perilous and fantastical satire of banned books, secret archives, and the looming eye of an all-powerful government. 
   
   
   
  The new book censor hasn't slept soundly in weeks. By day he combs through manuscripts at a government office, looking for anything that would make a book unfit to publish—allusions to queerness, unapproved religions, any mention of life before the Revolution. By night the characters of literary classics crowd his dreams, and pilfered novels pile up in the house he shares with his wife and daughter. As the siren song of forbidden reading continues to beckon, he descends into a netherworld of resistance fighters, undercover booksellers, and outlaw librarians trying to save their history and culture. 
   
   
   
  Reckoning with the global threat to free speech and the bleak future it all but guarantees, Bothayna Al-Essa marries the steely dystopia of Orwell's 1984 with the madcap absurdity of Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The Book Censor's Library is a warning call and a love letter to stories and the delicious act of losing oneself in them.
