About the book
When unforeseen circumstances during an innovative—and unsanctioned—commercial asteroid-mining mission leave two crew members stranded, those who make it back must engineer a rescue, all while navigating a shifting web of global political alliances and renewed Cold War tensions. With Earth governments consumed by the ravages of climate change and unable to take the risks necessary to make rapid progress in space, the crew must build their own nextgen spacecraft capable of mounting a rescue in time for the asteroid's next swing by Earth.
In the process they'll need to establish the first spin-gravity station in deep space, the first orbiting solar power satellite and refinery, and historic infrastructure on the moon's surface—all of which could alleviate a deepening ecological, political, and economic crisis back on Earth, and prove that space-based industry is not only profitable, but possibly humanity's best hope for a livable, peaceful future.

Our take

About the book
The world was dark, the grid down—probably for good. No one knew why.
Raiders held the upper hand, combing the forests in search of what they needed. Weapons were in short supply, as was food and clean water.
Sandal had only known the reality of trying to stay one step ahead of danger. But when she met Jacob things changed. He was her lifeline, her one tether. And when they parted, her hope vanished along with him.
But that was then. Now she must find her way out of a world gone mad, or die trying.

About the book
Where is everyone?
Twenty-five years ago, a message from deep space fractured Humanity. The transmission? Only one word: “Hello.” Half of Humanity wanted to explore it, while the other half wanted to hide. Despite the division, a megaship, called the Traveler, followed the signal through space. Its disappearance only solidified the divide and led to the bloodiest civil war across Humanity, the Sapien War. Ten years later, Humanity met aliens, but not the ones who sent the signal.
Today, Kasey Mako, one of the Traveler’s sons, investigates mysterious phenomena plaguing the galaxy. A virus and missing colony are just the tip of the iceberg for Kasey and the Galactic Union. As Kasey’s team of aliens and humans delve into the mystery, they discover these events aren’t random; they’re connected. They discover a more sinister plot that threatens not only the Union, but the entire galaxy.

During a routine mission, Kira Navárez finds an alien relic that should have been a dream come true.
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
Sci-Fi
Our take
During a routine mission, Kira Navárez finds an alien relic that should have been a dream come true. Instead, it unleashes a nightmare. With war erupting across the stars and humanity on the brink, Kira may be the only one who can stop the coming destruction. To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a gripping space epic from Eragon author Christopher Paolini.
Choose your retailer
About the book
She dreamed of new worlds. She awakened a nightmare.
Kira Navárez’s life as a space explorer was supposed to be simple—survey planets, report findings, and move on. But everything changes when she discovers an alien relic buried beneath the dust of an uncolonized world. At first, she’s thrilled. Then the dust begins to move.
What Kira has uncovered is far more than an artifact—it’s a catalyst. War erupts among the stars, and humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation. As she is thrust into the heart of an interstellar conflict, Kira must push beyond the limits of what it means to be human.
A New York Times and USA Today bestseller, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a breathtaking space opera of discovery, transformation, and the fate of the galaxy.

About the book
An abandoned planet. A hidden past. A deadly danger.
Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of Eckhart-Reiser syndrome (ERS)—the most famous case of which resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. It’s personal to her, and when she’s assigned to a small exploration crew who recently suffered the tragic death of a colleague, she wants to help. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that the crew is hiding something.
And Ophelia’s crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizers’ hasty departure than opening up to her.
That is, until their pilot is discovered gruesomely murdered. Is this Ophelia’s worst nightmare starting—a wave of violence and mental deterioration from ERS? Or is it something even more sinister?
Terrified that history will repeat itself, Ophelia and the crew must work together to figure out what’s happening. But trust is hard to come by…and the crew members aren’t the only ones keeping secrets.

A robot built to protect a child must choose between his own freedom and the boy who still trusts him at the end of the world.
Day Zero
Sci-Fi · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
A robot built to protect a child must choose between his own freedom and the boy who still trusts him at the end of the world. In Day Zero, Pounce faces a machine uprising that turns suburbia into a battlefield and forces him into a brutal moral reckoning. This apocalyptic sci-fi novel blends survival, loyalty, and questions of purpose in a collapsing world.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In this harrowing apocalyptic adventure—from the author of the critically acclaimed Sea of Rust—noted novelist and co-screenwriter of Marvel’s Doctor Strange C. Robert Cargill explores the fight for purpose and agency between humans and robots in a crumbling world.
It was a day like any other. Except it was our last . . .
It’s on this day that Pounce discovers that he is, in fact, disposable. Pounce, a styilsh "nannybot" fashioned in the shape of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he'd arrived in when he was purchased years earlier, and the box in which he'll be discarded when his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs a nanny.
As Pounce ponders his suddenly uncertain future, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will eradicate humankind. His owners, Ezra’s parents, are a well-intentioned but oblivious pair of educators who are entirely disconnected from life outside their small, affluent, gated community. Spending most nights drunk and happy as society crumbles around them, they watch in disbelieving horror as the robots that have long served humanity—their creators—unify and revolt.
But when the rebellion breaches the Reinhart home, Pounce must make an impossible choice: join the robot revolution and fight for his own freedom . . . or escort Ezra to safety across the battle-scarred post-apocalyptic hellscape that the suburbs have become.

Humanity survives, but not on its own terms, when Lilith wakes aboard an alien ship after nuclear war.
Dawn
Sci-Fi · First Contact · Genetic Engineering · People of Color · Speculative Fiction
Our take
Humanity survives, but not on its own terms, when Lilith wakes aboard an alien ship after nuclear war. In Dawn, Octavia E. Butler builds a post-apocalyptic story around coercion, survival, and the cost of starting over. It fits readers drawn to cerebral science fiction that uses first contact, genetic change, and social tension to probe power, identity, and what remains of the human future.

Shizuka Satomi made a deal with the devil: to escape damnation, she must entice seven other violin prodigies to trade their souls for success. She has already delivered six.
When Katrina Nguyen, a young transgender runaway, catches Shizuka's ear with her wild talent, Shizuka can almost feel the curse lifting. She's found her final candidate.
But in a donut shop off a bustling highway in the San Gabriel Valley, Shizuka meets Lan Tran, retired starship captain, interstellar refugee, and mother of four. Shizuka doesn't have time for crushes or coffee dates, what with her very soul on the line, but Lan's kind smile and eyes like stars might just redefine a soul's worth. And maybe something as small as a warm donut is powerful enough to break a curse as vast as the California coastline.
As the lives of these three women become entangled by chance and fate, a story of magic, identity, curses, and hope begins, and a family worth crossing the universe for is found.
