About the book
On one of Saturn’s Moons…
…a probe made a discovery.
Will this lead to the ultimate human voyage or a disaster?
Martin was the perfect choice for the mission. A computer genius with an uncanny ability to pilot remote vehicles, he would be key to their success. There were just three problems, from Martin’s point of view.
He didn’t like people or confined spaces.
Also, Martin wasn’t good at traveling outside his comfort zone.
Into his thirties, he never imagined they would ask him to join the Saturn mission, and he desperately wanted to decline. Something made him agree and now, soaring through space with the international crew, a catastrophic problem will test his mental acumen and psychological strength.
It’s too late to turn back…
…but is it possible to continue?

About the book
Raven's twin brother killed twenty-one people in fourteen minutes.
Raven Ledger was born two minutes before her twin brother Matthew. The newborns shared the same blood, the same womb, and the same parents. But everything about the siblings was different . . . one was darkness and one was light.
Raven was born into poverty to a mother who couldn’t care for her, and a father who would do anything to see his twins thrive. Eventually, Raven becomes a pawn between her parents.
Ripped from the world she knows, Raven and Matthew are placed in her mother’s care. Raven’s only friend is a prostitute who works the street in front of the child’s run-down apartment. Then after school one day, her brother goes missing and Raven can’t remain silent about their horrendous living conditions.
After the police find the boy, the children are removed from their mother, and Raven is separated from her brother. She is sent to a foster home to live with five other girls, while Matthew is placed in a home for troubled boys.
While the twins still attend the same school, they grow apart. Raven loves her brother, but she notices he’s become more detached. Then in their senior year of high school, Matthew is befriended by a mysterious man who teaches the teenager how to deal with his hatred.
On a warm spring day, a few months before the twins graduate, Raven’s brother enters Allegheny High School armed with guns. Fourteen minutes later, Raven Ledger became known as The Shooter’s Sister.

About the book
WANTED - A picturesque new town, a fresh start, and a much-needed escape from the constant reminder that the world is still full of bad guys.
For FBI agent Olivia Knight that perfect place is Belle Grove, a charming small town in Northern Virginia, a place hidden by lush greenery and away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
This quaint town checked all of Olivia’s boxes and it seemed to be the perfect place to give her the simple, quiet home life that she desperately craved.
A home life away from the Bureau, away from the sounds of sirens.
And most importantly, away from the grim nature of her job.
So, what sort of place does Olivia call home?
Well, in a cozy cabin, nestled in the woods.
FBI agent Olivia Knight sat on her comfy chair, reading her favorite novel.
Escaping into a world that no longer exists.
But in the dead of night, the darkness that she escaped from, found its way right to her doorstep…
When Olivia finds a young girl, that is malnourished and disheveled outside her home.
She is thrown into a disturbing and puzzling case.
In order to catch the culprit and find the missing children in her new hometown.
Olivia must dive deep into the twisted minds of a deranged serial kidnapper, and crack an almost impossible case.
With no leads in sight, Olivia must rely on more than just her wit.
With the help of Brock, her new partner. A guy that’s although competent, is the exact opposite of her in every way.
She must act fast to catch the person terrorizing the once serene town.

About the book
Now featuring never-before-seen material, the “brilliantly realized” (The New York Times Book Review) breakthrough novel from visionary author Neal Stephenson, a modern classic that predicted the metaverse and inspired generations of Silicon Valley innovators
Hiro lives in a Los Angeles where franchises line the freeway as far as the eye can see. The only relief from the sea of logos is within the autonomous city-states, where law-abiding citizens don’t dare leave their mansions.
Hiro delivers pizza to the mansions for a living, defending his pies from marauders when necessary with a matched set of samurai swords. His home is a shared 20 X 30 U-Stor-It. He spends most of his time goggled in to the Metaverse, where his avatar is legendary.
But in the club known as The Black Sun, his fellow hackers are being felled by a weird new drug called Snow Crash that reduces them to nothing more than a jittering cloud of bad digital karma (and IRL, a vegetative state).
Investigating the Infocalypse leads Hiro all the way back to the beginning of language itself, with roots in an ancient Sumerian priesthood. He’ll be joined by Y.T., a fearless teenaged skateboard courier. Together, they must race to stop a shadowy virtual villain hell-bent on world domination.

About the book
The first novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read
For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying.

To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. In Foundation, Asimov has written a timely and timeless novel of the best—and worst—that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness.

HUGO AWARD FINALIST • NEW YORK TIMES READER PICK: 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY • ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST BOOKS: Parade, Newsweek, New York Public Library, Polygon, Shelf Awareness, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
Hailed by USA Today as “an epic story of redemption, discovery, and cool speculative sci-fi,” Project Hail Mary is an irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver.

This allegory about humanity’s exploration of the universe—and the universe’s reaction to humanity—is a hallmark achievement in storytelling that follows the crew of the spacecraft Discovery as they embark on a mission to Saturn. Their vessel is controlled by HAL 9000, an artificially intelligent supercomputer capable of the highest level of cognitive functioning that rivals—and perhaps threatens—the human mind.

About the book
Death-row inmates are used for a lethal mining operation—but one is innocent—in this science fiction novel by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author.
Only the recently dead can helm the "deadman switch" to pilot a ship through the Cloud, a mysterious solar entity that shields the Solitaire solar system and its valuable heavy metals. Two convicted murderers are routinely sacrificed for this task—one to enter the system, one to exit. Gilead Raca Benedar is a Watcher, employed by the wealthy head of an intergalactic mining company as a human lie detector of sorts. When Benedar is sent to Solitaire, with its metal-rich moons, to assist with the acquisition of its valuable mining rights, he and the crew are able to make it to Solitaire safely, and all goes well. That is, until Benedar's Watcher powers show him that the second convict they are traveling with—the one meant to helm the deadman switch on their return journey—is innocent.
