  Desolation - A Post-Apocalyptic...

  I survived the plague that killed millions. 
  I escaped from the ravenous monsters when the dead refused to stay dead. 
  I ran for my life when a last-ditch effort to contain the spread of the infection did nothing but blast the last remaining survivors to smithereens. 
  Yet not all hope is lost. 
  Along the way, I made friends for life. Former enemies became allies. We’ve all become part of the Enclave—a survivor stronghold now home to thousands, among them women, children, and entire families. Together, we do everything to beat the odds. 
  But resources are running low. Cut off from energy, with barely enough food to see up to the end of the week, hunkering down and waiting for the zombie apocalypse to end is not an option. 
  Someone has to go out there and fight. 
  That someone is going to be me and my team—and those I still consider foe rather than friend. But we need to work together, or else none of us stand a chance to survive—another week, another day, another hour.

  Stellar exploration—and depredation—in the exciting first novel in the Solar Queen series from a "superb storyteller" (The New York Times). In the future, venturing out into the stars is more than a way for humanity to chart the cosmos—it's big business. Every time a new planet is discovered, the highest bidder gets first dibs with exclusive property rights for a year. Anything they can find, they can keep. The planet Limbo was considered a waste of rock to most, which is the only reason apprentice cargo master Dane Thorson and the rest of the crew of the Solar Queen could afford to bid on it. But they soon discover that Limbo is far from uninhabited, the Solar Queen is far from the first ship to explore it—and they can never leave . . . With her many beloved series, including the Solar Queen novels, Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master Andre Norton remains "one of the most popular authors of our time" (Publishers Weekly).

  When Monsters Lie

  The world went to shit the day I was born. 
   
   
   
  They say fire rained from the sky for seven days signalling the arrival of the monsters. They say humanity fought hard to beat them. They say the celestials saved us. They say a lot of things. 
   
   
   
  Me? I deal in the present. In scouting for useful things and keeping my team alive outside the protective walls of our base. I might not have a fancy monster-killing blade like the Sweepers do, but I've avoided getting my face eaten off so far, so I call that a win. But when my base is taken by monsters, my scout skills are the only thing standing between imminent demise and survival. 
   
   
   
  Sanctuary lies across the deadlands—monster infested territory, unmapped and uncharted even by the celestials. It's the only route, and I have no choice but to navigate my people through it. I'm a scout, a survivor. I got this. Until I haven't. 
   
   
   
  The last thing I expect is to be relying on four monsters for protection. But fate obviously has a sense of humor. Shemyaza and his scouts are intelligent, deathly, and lethal, and turns out they're the only ones who can lead us to safety. 
   
   
   
  Only problem is, their aid comes with a hefty price. Me. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  What do you do when you become the very thing you were taught to hate? 
  All I, Adalynn Taethen, have ever wanted to do was to serve my beloved home, the kingdom of Rothschan, in their famed military. Not only did I grow up knowing it was my duty, but I also hoped it would change the fortunes of my impoverished family. 
  But on the day of my enrollment, a disastrous meeting reveals my family's long-dormant enemy. Someone my parents have kept secret from me for years. 
  Along with other family secrets. 
  I have a surprise of my own—I can do magic. But in Rothschan, where magic is hated and anyone who wields it is feared and killed, my life is forfeit. 
  So I escape to the northern kingdom of Calia to learn more about my newfound magical powers. 
  And maybe I'll even learn more about my family secrets there, too. 
  But first I have to master my magic before it destroys me. And before my enemy finds me and destroys everything I hold dear. 
  Journey to the Gifted Lands, a fantasy world of seven kingdoms, each known for their own unique power or ability. Heir of Magic and Mischance is the third book in the Kingdom Legacy series set in this magical world. Each book features a new character from one of the kingdoms, with appearances from beloved characters from previous novels.

  Later Than You Think - The...

  Later Than You Think by Fritz Leiber - It's much later. The question is ... how late? 
  Obviously the Archeologist's study belonged to an era vastly distant from today. Familiar similarities here and there only sharpened the feeling of alienage. The sunlight that filtered through the windows in the ceiling had a wan and greenish cast and was augmented by radiation from some luminous material impregnating the walls and floor. Even the wide desk and the commodious hassocks glowed with a restful light. Across the former were scattered metal-backed wax tablets, styluses, and a pair of large and oddly formed spectacles. The crammed bookcases were not particularly unusual, but the books were bound in metal and the script on their spines would have been utterly unfamiliar to the most erudite of modern linguists. One of the books, lying open on a hassock, showed leaves of a thin, flexible, rustless metal covered with luminous characters. Between the bookcases were phosphorescent oil paintings, mainly of sea bottoms, in somber greens and browns. Their style, neither wholly realistic nor abstract, would have baffled the historian of art. 
  A blackboard with large colored crayons hinted equally at the schoolroom and the studio. 
  In the center of the room, midway to the ceiling, hung a fish with irridescent scales of breathtaking beauty. So invisible was its means of support that—also taking into account the strange paintings and the greenish light—one would have sworn that the object was to create an underwater scene. 
  The Explorer made his entrance in a theatrical swirl of movement. He embraced the Archeologist with a warmth calculated to startle that crusty old fellow. Then he settled himself on a hassock, looked up and asked a question in a speech and idiom so different from any we know that it must be called another means of communication rather than another language. The import was, "Well, what about it?"

  The knowledge gained in the Repository directs Aderyn, Owen, and their team to the distant, lawless city of Obsidian, in search of the next clues to the Fated One quest. Obsidian is dangerous for low-level adventurers, and the overland journey through monster-infested wasteland takes months. When they learn of a dungeon called Gamboling Coil that can transport adventurers instantly anywhere in the world, they leap at the chance. But nothing in the dungeon is as it seems, and it will take all the team’s skills to make it out alive. 
  However, Gamboling Coil is only the first step. Obsidian’s black walls harbor criminals, outcasts, and warring factions. An entanglement in city politics, and an encounter with another Warmaster, may prove more deadly than the worst monster the team has ever faced.
