About the book
Magical objects exist. Most people just don’t know it.
Hidden in a London bookshop basement, three unlikely guardians meet every six months to protect a secret archive of powerful items. For decades, the world has stayed quiet. Until now.
When rumors surface about a new artifact in Hong Kong, Magda Sparks—author by day, society member by night—is sent to investigate. Within hours, she’s dodging bullets, fleeing assassins, and using magic no one knew she had.
Back in London, Magda uncovers deeper secrets. Not just about the artifacts, but about her own legacy and the true mission of the society she pledged to serve.
From the alleys of Hong Kong to the heat of the American South, Magda must face a deadly truth.
Some objects should stay hidden. Some secrets should not.

Our take
Award-winning author Kameron Hurley delivers a 4.4-star sci-fi mindwarp in The Light Brigade, a gritty military thriller where soldiers are transformed into particles of light—and time itself is a weapon. Think Starship Troopers meets Slaughterhouse-Five, with more rage, trauma, and corporate corruption. If you like your sci-fi wild, smart, and devastating, enlist now.

About the book
War turns soldiers into light—literally.
In the corporate-run war against Mars, infantry grunts are broken down into particles and beamed to distant battlefronts. Most return changed. Some don’t return at all. But when fresh recruit Dietz starts dropping into battles that don’t align with mission briefings, something becomes terrifyingly clear: reality is out of sync.
Each combat drop reveals pieces of a war that isn’t what it seems—and a truth the corporate brass would kill to keep buried. As Dietz spirals through time, memory, and mayhem, survival means more than following orders. It means questioning everything.
From Hugo Award winner Kameron Hurley, The Light Brigade is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that blends military grit with temporal chaos in a blistering indictment of war, loyalty, and corporate control.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Together in one volume—the first three books in the world’s most beloved science-fiction series!
DRAGONFLIGHT
On a beautiful world called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to come under attack. Lessa is an outcast survivor—her parents murdered, her birthright stolen—a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. But when an ancient threat reemerges, Lessa will rise—upon the back of a great dragon with whom she shares a telepathic bond more intimate than any human connection. Together, dragon and rider will fly, and Pern will be changed forever.
DRAGONQUEST
Since Lessa and Ramoth, her golden queen dragon, traveled into the past to bring forward a small army of dragons and riders to save their world from deadly alien spores, fear and desperation have spread across the land. But while the dragonriders struggle with threats both human and otherworldly, a young rider named F’nor and his brown dragon, Canth, hatch a bold plan to destroy the alien scourge at its source—the baleful Red Star that fills the heavens and promises doom to all.
THE WHITE DRAGON
Never in the history of Pern has there been a dragon like Ruth. Mocked by other dragons for his small size and pure white color, Ruth is smart, brave, and loyal—qualities that he shares with his rider, the young Lord Jaxom. Unfortunately, Jaxom is also looked down upon by his fellow lords, and by other riders as well. His dreams of joining the dragonriders in defending Pern are dismissed. What else can Jaxom and Ruth do but strike out on their own, pursuing in secret all they are denied? But in doing so, the two friends will find themselves facing a desperate choice—one that will push their bond to the breaking point . . . and threaten the future of Pern itself.

About the book
Dr. Madeleine “Max” Maxwell didn’t expect her new job to involve dodging arrows, running from fire, or trying not to die in the 14th century.
At St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, historians don’t just read about the past. They go there. Literally. With time-travel pods, questionable safety procedures, and a team of eccentric academics, Max finds herself thrust into history’s biggest disasters.
The mission is simple: observe, document, and don’t change anything. But time has a nasty sense of humor, and history doesn’t like being watched.
From the Cretaceous period to the reign of Richard III, chaos is guaranteed. So is tea.
Just One Damned Thing After Another is wildly clever, gloriously unpredictable, and the unforgettable beginning to a series you didn’t know you needed.

All Alex Hawk wanted was to make it to his daughter’s fourth birthday party on time.
Then he found the wall.
Behind it: bricks that didn’t belong. And behind those—something impossible. A glowing doorway. A knife. A note. A warning.

Now, this former Army Special Forces soldier is lost in a world that shouldn’t exist—far in the future, where civilization has collapsed and survival is a brutal, daily battle. Stranded, hunted, and desperate to return home, Alex must draw on every ounce of training and instinct he has to fight his way back.
But some doors, once opened, refuse to close.
*A Door into Time* is the explosive beginning to a completed seven-book saga of portal travel, action, and the fight to return to the ones you love.

About the book
Shevek is a physicist, a revolutionary, and a man willing to risk everything to bridge worlds divided by distrust and centuries of isolation.

In a society eager to use him for their own ends, Shevek must fight to uphold his vision of freedom, unity, and understanding.
Profound, challenging, and achingly human, The Dispossessed is Ursula K. Le Guin at her visionary best—a masterpiece of science fiction and social commentary.

Our take
When tomorrow can be erased, love becomes a dangerous anomaly.

About the book
A spellbinding novel set in the universe of Isaac Asimov’s classic Galactic Empire series and Foundation series
Due to circumstances within our control . . . tomorrow will be canceled.
The Eternals, the ruling class of the Future, had the power of life and death not only over every human being but over the very centuries into which they were born. Past, Present, and Future could be created or destroyed at will.
You had to be special to become an Eternal. Andrew Harlan was special. Until he committed the one unforgivable sin—falling in love.
Eternals weren’t supposed to have feelings. But Andrew could not deny the sensations that were struggling within him. He knew he could not keep this secret forever. And so he began to plan his escape, a plan that changed his own past . . . and threatened Eternity itself.

About the book
Beckett Gray thinks the world just ended. His car won’t start, his phone is dead, and the forest around the Appalachian Trail feels eerily quiet. An EMP? That’s the only explanation.
Until it isn’t.
Beckett and a handful of fellow hikers soon realize the truth is far stranger—and far more terrifying. They haven’t lost power. They’ve lost time. Five hundred years, to be exact.
Now stranded in a brutal, pre-modern world, they must fight to survive in a time that wants them dead. No shelter. No tech. No welcome. Just raw nature, hostile locals, and a past that refuses to let them go.
Is it still survival if history itself is trying to kill you?
