The New York Times bestselling author of Neuromancer and Agency presents a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that takes a terrifying look into the future.
DON'T MISS THE SERIES—NOW STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY ON PRIME VIDEO!
Flynne Fisher lives down a country road, in a rural America where jobs are scarce, unless you count illegal drug manufacture, which she’s trying to avoid. Her brother Burton lives on money from the Veterans Administration, for neurological damage suffered in the Marines’ elite Haptic Recon unit. Flynne earns what she can by assembling product at the local 3D printshop. She made more as a combat scout in an online game, playing for a rich man, but she’s had to let the shooter games go.
Wilf Netherton lives in London, seventy-some years later, on the far side of decades of slow-motion apocalypse. Things are pretty good now, for the haves, and there aren’t many have-nots left. Wilf, a high-powered publicist and celebrity-minder, fancies himself a romantic misfit, in a society where reaching into the past is just another hobby.
Burton’s been moonlighting online, secretly working security in some game prototype, a virtual world that looks vaguely like London, but a lot weirder. He’s got Flynne taking over shifts, promised her the game’s not a shooter. Still, the crime she witnesses there is plenty bad.
Flynne and Wilf are about to meet one another. Her world will be altered utterly, irrevocably, and Wilf’s, for all its decadence and power, will learn that some of these third-world types from the past can be badass.

About the book
Humanity’s complex relationship with technology spirals out of control in this first book of an all-new series from “the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction” (Ken Follett).
“How far ‘space opera’ has come! The Old Masters of sci-fi would admire the scope and sweep of Salvation.”—The Wall Street Journal
In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation—including starships—virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. All seems wonderful—until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem. . . .
Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.

About the book
Survival is the name of the game as the line blurs between reality TV and reality itself in Alexandra Oliva’s fast-paced novel of suspense.
She wanted an adventure. She never imagined it would go this far.
It begins with a reality TV show. Twelve contestants are sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the limits of their endurance. While they are out there, something terrible happens—but how widespread is the destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing of it. When one of them—a young woman the show’s producers call Zoo—stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine only that it is part of the game.
Alone and disoriented, Zoo is heavy with doubt regarding the life—and husband—she left behind, but she refuses to quit. Staggering countless miles across unfamiliar territory, Zoo must summon all her survival skills—and learn new ones as she goes.
But as her emotional and physical reserves dwindle, she grasps that the real world might have been altered in terrifying ways—and her ability to parse the charade will be either her triumph or her undoing.
Sophisticated and provocative, The Last One is a novel that forces us to confront the role that media plays in our perception of what is real: how readily we cast our judgments, how easily we are manipulated.

Our take
Samanta Schweblin’s Little Eyes—a New York Times Notable Book and Guardian Best Fiction pick—unveils the sinister allure of kentukis, cute devices that connect strangers worldwide. With 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this Man Booker–shortlisted author delivers a chilling, imaginative tale that blends intimacy and horror in our hyperconnected age. Dark, unsettling, and unforgettable.

About the book
They’re not pets. Not robots. Not ghosts. They’re kentukis—small, furry devices that watch, listen, and connect strangers across the globe. Cute enough to cuddle, unsettling enough to haunt, they slip into homes and lives from Hong Kong to Indiana, linking people who will never meet, but who can see everything about one another.
At first, the kentukis bring connection and wonder. Children laugh, couples bond, strangers share secrets. But the novelty curdles. With anonymity comes voyeurism, manipulation, obsession. What was sold as companionship becomes a lens into humanity’s darkest corners.
From Man Booker–shortlisted author Samanta Schweblin, Little Eyes is a visionary novel of intimacy and horror in our hyperconnected world—a story that feels not like the future, but like the uncanny now.

Our take
Journalist Carol Pogash examines the case of Susan Polk, who was arrested for stabbing her husband and former therapist, Dr. Felix Polk, and later represented herself during her murder trial, with a 4.2-star rating from more than 1,200 Amazon reviewers.

About the book
A true crime account and analysis of a California housewife's murder of her husband and the revealing trial that followed.
In October 2002, Susan Polk, the soft-spoken mother of three teenage boys, was arrested for stabbing her husband and former therapist, Dr. Felix Polk, to death. Three years later she was tried for first degree murder, choosing to act as her own attorney in a trial that rapidly devolved into one of the most outrageous media circuses in modern history. To a crowded courtroom, Susan Polk presented her defense—a bizarre story of unethical therapies, abuse, repressed memories, and satanic rituals—and, in doing so, exposed her madness. Carol Pogash was there.
Seduced by Madness is the remarkably compelling, profoundly disturbing true story of the severe dysfunction of an affluent American family, as told by the leading journalist who worked the case. It is a spellbinding re-creation of a troubled life, a marriage, a murder, and a terrifying, inexorable descent into madness.
Praise for Seduced by Madness
"While the background is fascinating, the coverage of the trial is mesmerizing. Pogash takes the characters . . . and creates an edge-of-your-seat excitement. For fans of true crime, psychology, courtroom drama and truth-is-stranger-than fiction, this is a triumph." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The Metamorphosis
Literary Fiction · Psychological Fiction
Our take
Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis—in Susan Bernofsky’s acclaimed new translation—breathes fresh life into the 1915 classic that inspired Orwell, Camus, and Borges. With 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this unsettling tale of Gregor Samsa’s grotesque transformation blends horror, humor, and humanity. Featuring an introduction by David Cronenberg, it’s the definitive edition of Kafka’s masterpiece.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Gregor Samsa is an ordinary traveling salesman—until the morning he wakes to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Trapped in his own body, shunned by family, and stripped of dignity, Gregor’s life becomes a grotesque reflection of alienation and despair.
Written in 1915, Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis remains one of the most disturbing and influential works of modern literature. Its surreal horror inspired Orwell, Camus, Borges, and Bradbury, while its dark humor and raw humanity continue to captivate readers a century later.
In Susan Bernofsky’s acclaimed new translation, the novella’s wit and pathos come alive with fresh resonance. With David Cronenberg’s introduction, this edition reminds us why Kafka’s vision of transformation remains both terrifying and profoundly human.

About the book
Secrets aren’t the only things that won’t stay buried.
When an earthquake strikes downtown Denver, far from the nearest active fault system, the USGS dispatches Dr. Dayna Raines and an emergency response team to investigate. They discover that the epicenter corresponds to a decommissioned deep injection well once used by the U.S. Army to dispose of chemical weapons, which have eroded the earth and created the unstable cavern system responsible for the seismic activity.
Their mission is to descend into the unknown depths, evaluate the fault zone, and initiate a controlled demolition of the subterranean cavity before another earthquake strikes, causing a mass casualty event. And they’re running out of time.
But military scientists had been experimenting with even deadlier armaments, including a biological organism so lethal that they were forced to bury it two miles down, where no one would ever find it.
Until now.

About the book
Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby isn’t the Department of Unorthodox Affairs’ most promising recruit. With only one case behind him and more mistakes than successes, he’s desperate to prove himself—and fix the friendships he’s already managed to fracture.
So when a mysterious benefactor dangles the chance to join a heist targeting an otherworldly vault, Grimsby doesn’t think twice. Answers, redemption, and maybe respect could all be within reach.
But nothing in Boston’s magical underground is that simple. His partner Mayflower is hiding dangerous secrets, new demons crawl out of the dark, and the monsters Grimsby faces—both human and Unorthodox—aren’t playing fair.
If he can’t learn to ask the right questions, this job won’t just cost him his career. It’ll cost him everything.
