About the book
While loyal soldier William Mandella was fighting for the survival of the human race in a distant galaxy, thousands of years were passing on his home planet, Earth. Then, with the end of the hostilities came the shocking realization that humanity had evolved into something he did not recognize.
Offered the choice of retaining his individuality or becoming part of the genetically modified shared Human hive-mind, Mandella chose exile, joining other veterans of the Forever War seeking a new life on a wasteland world they called Middle Finger.
Making a home for themselves in this half-frozen hell, Mandella and his life partner, Marygay, have survived into middle age, raising a son and a daughter in the process. Now, the dark truth about the colonists’ ultimate role in the continuation of the Human group mind will force Mandella and Marygay to take desperate action as they hijack an interstellar vessel and set off on a frantic escape across space and time.
But what awaits them upon their return is a mystery far beyond all human—or Human—comprehension . . .

Multiverse travel is a reality—but only for those whose counterparts are dead.
The Space Between Worlds
Mystery · Sci-Fi
Our take
Multiverse travel is a reality—but only for those whose counterparts are dead. Cara’s knack for dying across 372 worlds makes her the perfect traveler, plucked from the wastelands to serve the elite of Wiley City. But when a doppelgänger dies mysteriously, Cara unravels a secret threatening every universe. Her survival could mean the difference between saving worlds—or destroying them all.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Multiverse travel has one rule: you can’t visit a world where your counterpart is alive. For Cara, that’s rarely a problem—on 372 worlds, her parallel selves are dead, victims of disease, violence, or vengeance.
On this Earth, Cara has defied the odds. Plucked from the wastelands, she’s become a rare asset for Wiley City’s elite, traveling the multiverse to collect data. It’s a life of uneasy balance—secure yet fragile, tethered to both the city’s privileges and the harsh world she left behind.
When one of her few remaining doppelgängers dies under suspicious circumstances, Cara uncovers a secret that shatters her tenuous stability. Her discovery ties her to a dangerous conspiracy, where survival means more than saving herself—it could determine the fate of every universe.

About the book
Dying isn’t any fun…but at least it’s a living.
Mickey Barnes is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.
On a routine scouting mission, Mickey7 goes missing and is presumed dead. By the time he returns to the colony base, surprisingly helped back by native life, his fate has been sealed. There’s a new clone, Mickey8, reporting for Expendable duties, and there can only be one Expendable. If Mickey7 reports his survival to Command, one of them is going into the recycler. If he doesn’t and they’re caught, they both are.
Meanwhile, life on Niflheim is getting worse. The atmosphere is unsuitable for humans, food is in short supply, and terraforming is going poorly. The native species are growing curious about their new neighbors, and that curiosity has Commander Marshall very afraid. Ultimately, the survival of both lifeforms will come down to Mickey7.
That is, if he can just keep from dying for good.

Empire of Silence begins with a man remembered as both savior and destroyer, then strips the legend back to the choices that made him infamous.
Empire of Silence
Sci-Fi · Space Opera
Our take
Empire of Silence begins with a man remembered as both savior and destroyer, then strips the legend back to the choices that made him infamous. Hadrian Marlowe flees a brutal inheritance only to be stranded among gladiator pits, alien war, and imperial politics. This is sweeping space opera with epic fantasy bones, built around exile, power, memory, and the cost of becoming history.

About the book
"[E]pic science fiction at its most genuinely epic." —James S.A. Corey, New York Times-bestselling author of The Expanse novels
"This wow book is a must for fans of Pierce Brown and Patrick Rothfuss." —Library Journal (starred)
Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy.
It was not his war.
The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives—even the Emperor himself—against Imperial orders.
But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier.
On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe starts down a path that can only end in fire. He flees his father and a future as a torturer only to be left stranded on a strange, backwater world.
Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, Hadrian must fight a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.

About the book
An NPR favorite book of 2019
Winner of the ALA/YALSA Alex Award
When an Earth-like planet is discovered, a team of six teens, along with three veteran astronauts, embark on a twenty-year trip to set up a planet for human colonization—but find that space is more deadly than they ever could have imagined.
Have you ever hoped you could leave everything behind?
Have you ever dreamt of a better world?
Can a dream sustain a lifetime?
A century ago, an astronomer discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting a nearby star. She predicted that one day humans would travel there to build a utopia. Today, ten astronauts are leaving everything behind to find it. Four are veterans of the twentieth century’s space-race.
And six are teenagers who’ve trained for this mission most of their lives.
It will take the team twenty-three years to reach Terra-Two. Twenty-three years locked in close quarters. Twenty-three years with no one to rely on but each other. Twenty-three years with no rescue possible, should something go wrong.
And something always goes wrong.
