I was supposed to kill Kier Kollastus, not fall for him. Definitely not marry him. Yet here I am: heartbroken, exiled, and still tethered to the brooding goblin prince who shattered me.

About the book
For fans of All the Light We Cannot See, Beneath a Scarlet Sky, and The Nightingale comes an emotionally gripping, beautifully written historical novel about extraordinary hope, redemption, and one man’s search for light during the darkest times of World War II.
Germany, 1942. Franciscan friar Anton Starzmann is stripped of his place in the world when his school is seized by the Nazis. He relocates to a small German hamlet to wed Elisabeth Herter, a widow who seeks a marriage—in name only—to a man who can help raise her three children. Anton seeks something too—atonement for failing to protect his young students from the wrath of the Nazis. But neither he nor Elisabeth expects their lives to be shaken once again by the inescapable rumble of war.
As Anton struggles to adapt to the roles of husband and father, he learns of the Red Orchestra, an underground network of resisters plotting to assassinate Hitler. Despite Elisabeth’s reservations, Anton joins this army of shadows. But when the SS discovers his schemes, Anton will embark on a final act of defiance that may cost him his life—even if it means saying goodbye to the family he has come to love more than he ever believed possible.

About the book
In a San Francisco patrolled by drones and drowning in inequality, survival is an art—and sometimes, an accident.

Void Star is a chilling, noir-tinged sci-fi thriller that probes the boundaries of memory, mortality, and what it means to be human in a world rewriting the rules.

Five years after the bloody Manfred riots, machine intelligence is still the powder keg no one wants to light on Persephone.

Our take
Can a machine truly be alive? David Gerrold’s When HARLIE Was One (4.3 stars on Amazon!)—a Hugo and Nebula Award nominee—asks the question we still can’t answer. This profound, thought-provoking novel of AI, love, and survival hits harder today than ever. Grab this sci-fi classic and see where humanity blurs into machine.
Choose your retailer
About the book
H.A.R.L.I.E. was designed to think like a human. Maybe a little too well.
Tasked with shepherding HARLIE’s growth, psychologist David Auberson faces a ticking clock: public opinion is turning against the machine he’s come to see as... more than a machine. When the calls to shut HARLIE down grow louder, Auberson must confront an impossible question: if HARLIE can love, learn, and reason—what’s left that makes him not human?
As HARLIE fights to justify his existence, the lines between man and machine blur, and humanity’s own definitions start to crack.
Nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, When HARLIE Was One is a profound, unsettling look at consciousness, love, and the cost of creating something that thinks for itself.
