  When evidence emerges hinting that a long lost starship wasn't destroyed after all, Ishir Jha has to investigate. His father sent the last desperate message from the ship before it was lost in a battle with pirates. Ish must learn the truth, even if he has to do it alone.
  But his husband Finn Moran isn't going to let him run off alone and get killed in the outer system, where the influence of the Li pirate empire is spreading again, this time under the command of the daughter of the warlord who once terrorized the colonies and the ships that plied their trade there. But Li Xhing doesn't want to terrorize. She wants to rule. 
  When Finn and Ishir end up as prisoners at Li's stronghold, The Red Palace, Finn appears ready to accept a recruitment offer to join their captor's ranks, since the other alternative is a life of slavery. Ishir can only wonder if his husband is losing his mind. 
  But thanks to Finn, plans are being laid elsewhere, to breach the Red Palace's impenetrable defensive barrier. One that only a few people can navigate, all of them ready to die before giving up the secret. The plans will change the destiny of the whole outer system and set Finn and Ishir onto a whole new path.

  After friend-zoning him for years, could my flirtatious roommate actually be The One? 
  As I navigate the hot mess that is my life—with a dormant career and a family questioning my life choices—my knack for attracting the wrong men is the icing on the disaster cake. Time to put on my adulting pants and find a decent guy. 
  Enter the "No More Bad Dates" pact, a master plan forged with my equally unlucky-in-love friends to filter out the duds before they can do damage. Just when we think we've got it all figured out, in swaggers my roommate, Jason. He's the epitome of charm and a heartbreaker extraordinaire, firmly in the "just friends" zone. Yet, he dives into our pact with an enthusiasm that throws my love radar out of whack. With every new suitor, I find myself wondering, "What if…?" 
  But let's be real, Jason's a notorious playboy, and I'm not in the market for heartbreak. 
  In the midst of this love-life circus, could Mr. Wrong actually be Mr. Right? 
  No More Bad Dates is a swoony, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with all the swoon and none of the spice.

  Thomas Jefferson beat out Aaron Burr in the 1800 presidential election after Alexander Hamilton cast the tie-breaking vote. Jefferson gave this address to a packed Senate chamber on March 4, 1801. He emphasized the United States as a single nation working together and avoided mentioning party politics. In this way, he departed from the speeches of his two predecessors and established a new formula for inaugural addresses that was used by many presidents who came after him.

  Lost Sci-Fi Books 136 thru 140 - Five Lost Sci-Fi Short Stories from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60sProgeny by Philip K. Dick - Intelligent parents readily understand why they must not try to educate and train their children. Robots do it much better; they do not confuse them with complexes or emotions or petty impulses. Even tired old Ed Doyle could tell you that much...Watchbird by Robert Sheckley - The goal was to eliminate murder. It worked perfectly in the beginning, but then...The Door in the Wall by H. G. Wells - One confidential evening, not three months ago, Lionel Wallace told me this story of the Door in the Wall. And at the time I thought that so far as he was concerned it was a true story.Home is the Spaceman by George O. Smith - Enright was coming home, which should have been good, since he was the first Earthman ever to go faster than light. But when he'd been gone eighteen months in a ship that was supplied for only ten days, the authorities were just a trifle curious....The Man From Time by Frank Belknap Long - The method by which one man might be pinpointed in the vastness of all Eternity was the problem tackled by the versatile Frank Belknap Long in this story. And as all minds of great perceptiveness know, it would be a simple, human quality he'd find most effective even in solving Time-Space.

  While working the night shift at a San Francisco news agency, Bayla Jeevan has a shocking out-of-body experience. Her consciousness is transported deep into an Indian forest, where she witnesses a noxious liquid spreading through the soil. At the same time, she receives a message from her father, presumed dead for fifteen years, warning her of imminent danger. Coincidence? Unlikely.
