About the book
The celebrated author continues his Space Odyssey with this Hugo Award winner: "A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001" (Carl Sagan).
In 1968, Arthur C. Clarke's bestselling 2001: A Space Odyssey captivated the world and was adapted into the classic film by Stanley Kubrick. Fourteen years later, fans and critics were thrilled by the release of 2010: Odyssey Two.
Nine years after the ill-fated Discovery One mission to Jupiter, a joint Soviet-American crew travels to the planet to investigate the mysterious monolith orbiting the planet, the cause of the earlier mission's failure—and what became of astronaut David Bowman. The crew includes project expert Heywood Floyd, and Dr. Chandra, the creator of HAL 9000.
What they discover is an unsettling alien conspiracy tampering with the evolution of life on Jupiter's moons as well as that of humanity itself. Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman—the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith—streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .
"Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play." —Time
"2010 is easily Clarke's best book in over a decade." —The San Diego Union-Tribune

A bounty hunter chasing her sister’s disappearance finds the suspect at the center of the mystery may be tied to something far stranger than crime.
Hunting Julian
Urban Fantasy · Romantasy · First Contact
Our take
A bounty hunter chasing her sister’s disappearance finds the suspect at the center of the mystery may be tied to something far stranger than crime. In Hunting Julian, Asia’s pursuit of Julian Sawyer pulls her from Earth into a universe where human women carry power his species needs to survive, turning a rescue mission into a fated-mate romantasy with danger, distrust, and impossible choice.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The New York Times–bestselling author's "world-building is exceptional" in this romantasy following a female bounty hunter and her mysterious suspect (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
The last time Asia saw her sister alive, Kendra was on the arm of a sexy stranger—a man Asia has been hunting ever since Kendra disappeared, along with a dozen other women in different cities around the country. The only thing Asia knows for certain is that Julian Sawyer was in each of those cities every time a woman went missing. Now Asia won't rest until she finds out what happened to her sister—and Julian is behind bars.
The tables are turned when Julian captures her. Abducted from earth and brought to a universe where female earthlings with potent energy are the Chosen—women necessary to the survival of Julian's species. The danger is greater than Asia ever imagined. Because according to Julian, Asia is not just a Chosen. She's his Kindra. His true mate.
But surrendering to her fated lover means forsaking the only world she's ever known.

Our take
Exile has made the Fant essential, but the secrets they guard may be more dangerous than the galaxy knows.

About the book
In a post-human future, sentient elephants who speak with the dead uncover a devastating secret in this "weird, wise, and worldly…triumph" (Hugo Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer).
In a distant future, humans are extinct, but their successors—animals uplifted into walking, talking, sentient beings—thrive across the galaxy. The Fant are anthropomorphic elephants, exiled to the rainy ghetto world of Barsk. Though they are ostracized by other races, they develop essential medicines upon which all species depend. The most coveted is the drug Koph, which allows users to interact with the recently deceased and learn their secrets.
Now a shadowy group is forcing the Fant to surrender their knowledge and claim Koph for themselves. A Fant named Jorl is compelled to question his deceased best friend, who years ago mysteriously committed suicide. But in so doing, Jorl unearths a secret the powers that be would prefer to keep buried forever.
Meanwhile, his dead friend's son, a physically challenged young Fant named Pizlo, is driven by disturbing visions to take his first unsteady steps toward an uncertain future.

And on Hyperion itself, where battle rages in the skies and on the streets, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing—nothing anywhere in the universe—will ever be the same.

Choose your retailer
About the book
At the end of the world, the only refuge is the one you fight for.
Isolated at her family's wildlife refuge in northern Georgia, Raven longs to escape the monotonous days spent shoveling manure, hauling feed, and hosing down enclosures for bears, wolves, and a tiger. Then her father contracts the mysterious, lethal sickness spreading across the country like wildfire.
Desperate to help him, Raven journeys into town to get medicine, only to discover the outside world is swiftly collapsing into chaos. There are no more police, no more laws, and no hospitals. No one is coming to help.
The wildlife refuge she once resented now offers sanctuary: plenty of food, shelter, and the safety of electrified fences. Using the skills her father taught her, Raven knows how to survive.
But the threat is just beginning, for a dangerous gang tracks Raven back to the refuge, and they'll stop at nothing to take what she has.
Raven can run to save her life. Or she can stand her ground, risking everything to defend the animals—and her home.
*This novel is the expanded, significantly revised version of a novella originally titled No Safe Haven.*

Midnight
Sci-Fi · Horror · Genetic Engineering · Suspense
Our take
Midnight turns a quiet California town into a place where the familiar begins to feel dangerously wrong. In Moonlight Cove, residents are changing in ways that strip away emotion or unleash violent instinct, leaving a handful of survivors to uncover what’s happening before fear gives way to slaughter.

All Flesh Is Grass
Dystopian · Alien Invasion · First Contact
Our take
All Flesh Is Grass traps a quiet Midwestern town behind an invisible barrier, turning ordinary neighbors into prisoners overnight. Brad Carter only wants to understand why no one can leave, but his search makes him the uneasy link between Millville and an alien intelligence with plans for humanity. This classic science fiction novel blends first-contact mystery, communal paranoia, and small-town pressure under impossible conditions.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Long before Under the Dome, this novel of a town trapped within an invisible force field earned a Nebula Award nomination for the author of Way Station.
Nothing much ever happens in Millville, a small, secluded Middle-American community—until the day Brad Carter discovers he is unable to leave. And the nearly bankrupt real estate agent is not the only one being held prisoner; every resident is confined within the town's boundaries by an invisible force field that cannot be breached.
As local tensions rapidly reach the breaking point, a set of bizarre circumstances leads Brad to the source of their captivity, making him humanity's reluctant ambassador to an alien race of sentient flora, and privy to these jailers' ultimate intentions. But some of Millville's most powerful citizens do not take kindly to Carter's "collaboration with the enemy," even under the sudden threat of global apocalypse.Decades before Stephen King trapped an entire town in Under the Dome, science fiction Grand Master Clifford D. Simak explored the shocking effects of communal captivity on an unsuspecting population. Nominated for the Nebula Award, All Flesh Is Grass is a riveting masterwork that brilliantly reinvents the alien invasion story.
The third author to be honored as a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), Clifford D. Simak also received three Hugo Awards, a Nebula Award, an International Fantasy Award, and a Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award.
