  “What do you get when you cross Jurassic Park with an ancient underground city? The answer is Pandemonium, an exciting read.” —Steve Alten, New York Times–bestselling author of Meg 
   
  Deep beneath the Ural Mountains, in an underground city carved out by slave labor during the darkest hours of the Cold War, ancient caverns hold exotic and dangerous life-forms that have evolved in isolation for countless millennia. Cut off from the surface world, an entire ecosystem of bizarre subterranean species has survived undetected—until now. 
   
  Biologists Nell and Geoffrey Binswanger barely survived their last encounter with terrifying, invasive creatures that threatened to engulf the planet. They think the danger is over until a ruthless Russian tycoon lures them to his underground metropolis, where they find themselves confronted by a vicious menagerie of biological horrors from their past—and by entirely new breeds of voracious predators. Now they’re rising up from the bowels of the Earth to consume the world as we know it.

  A gruff military commander can’t ignore his feelings for a shy colleague in this edge-of-your-seat, romantic space epic by a New York Times bestseller.   Rhemun, commander of the Cehn-Tahr Holconcom, has worked tirelessly to get where he is—and he's not going to let any human drag him back down. Especially not Lt. Commander Edris Mallory, whose very presence aboard the Morcaiserves as a too-painful reminder of a past tragedy he can neither forgive nor forget.    But Mallory has secrets of her own—ones she can’t afford to see come to light. Frantic to protect herself, she flees, abandoning her position. When Rhemun learns of her devastating situation, he realizes the all-consuming feelings he's harbored for her may not be hatred. But in a vast universe rife with peril, is it already too late?  Praise for The Morcai Battalion: Invictus  “This futuristic romance is action-packed and will please fans of Marcella Burnard and Katherine Allred. Readers new to the series will enjoy Kyle’s well-conceived universe and the different modes of government and acceptable social interaction that make for a wealth of possibilities in this tale.” —RT Book Reviews

  “A delightful epic, filled with twists and treachery, and vividly told” from the New York Times–bestselling author of All the Broken Places (The Herald). 
   
  John Boyne became internationally known for his acclaimed novels Crippen and the bestselling The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Now, for the first time in the US comes The Thief of Time, the book that started the career of the author that the Irish Examiner calls “one of the best and original of the new generation of Irish writers.” 
   
  It is 1758 and Matthieu Zela is fleeing Paris after witnessing the murder of his mother and his stepfather’s execution. Matthieu’s life is characterized by one extraordinary fact: before the eighteenth century ends, he discovers that his body has stopped ageing. At the end of the twentieth century and the ripe old age of 256 he is suddenly forced to answer an uncomfortable question: what is the worth of immortality without love? 
   
  In this carefully crafted novel, The Thief of Time, John Boyne juxtaposes history and the buzz of the modern world, weaving together portraits of 1920s Hollywood, the Great Exhibition of 1851, the French Revolution, the Wall Street Crash, and other landmark events into one man’s story of murder, love, and redemption. 
   
  “Boyne is a skilful storyteller . . . The novel is superbly constructed.” —Sunday Tribune 
   
  “Boyne is creative and entertaining, particularly as he develops his characters.” —Library Journal 
   
  “One of the finest reads this reviewer has enjoyed in quite a while. It’s gripping without cliffhangers, philosophically deep without angst, honest and wise and absolutely charming. Bravo to Mr. Boyne—and when’s the next book?” —Historical Novel Society

  An alternate eighteenth-century England sets the stage for a lyrical novel by the author of the Tears of Artamon trilogy, “an innovative fantasist” (Asimov’s). 
   
  Young rebel composer Amaru Khassian flees from religious persecution to peaceful Tourmalise. Crippled by horrible burns, he can no longer write down his stirring, seditious music—until he meets Orial, a girl with a unique gift that enables her to “hear” the sounds in other people’s minds. 
   
  Khassian’s music could inspire his countrymen to overthrow their oppressors. But there is a price on the young composer’s head, and it’s not long before Acir Korentan, an agent of the brutal regime in Allegonde that has tried to repress Khassian’s music, tracks him down. 
   
  Now Orial is in danger too—and not just from the fanatical agents from Allegonde. As antiquarians uncover mysterious traces of an ancient civilization in Tourmalise, she begins to suffer disturbing and revelatory visions. The excavations may reveal the true purpose of her gift—but is her sanity too great a price to pay? Can Orial use her gift to save Khassian and his people before it drives her mad? 
   
  Praise for the Tears of Artamon Trilogy 
   
  “Unusual . . . Exotic . . . Well worth the read!” —Katherine Kurtz, New York Times–bestselling author  
   
  “A splendid tale . . . Sarah Ash is destined to be one of the bright luminaries of fantasy.” —Dennis L. McKiernan, national bestselling author 
   
  “Rousing. . . . with its vivid 18th-century European flavor and fallen angels who evoke Paradise Lost. Lovers of big, complex fantasy sagas (think Robert Jordan or George R.R. Martin) will be well pleased.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
