  Message From Mars by Clifford D. Simak - Fifty-five pioneers had died on the "bridge of bones" that spanned the Void to the rusty plains of Mars. Now the fifty-sixth stood on the red planet, his only ship a total wreck—and knew that Earth was doomed unless he could send a warning within hours. 
  "You're crazy, man," snapped Steven Alexander, "you can't take off for Mars alone!" 
  Scott Nixon thumped the desk in sudden irritation. 
  "Why not?" he shouted. "One man can run a rocket. Jack Riley's sick and there are no other pilots here. The rocket blasts in fifteen minutes and we can't wait. This is the last chance. The only chance we'll have for months." 
  Jerry Palmer, sitting in front of the massive radio, reached for a bottle of Scotch and slopped a drink into the tumbler at his elbow. 
  "Hell, Doc," he said, "let him go. It won't make any difference. He won't reach Mars. He's just going out in space to die like all the rest of them." 
  Alexander snapped savagely at him. "You don't know what you're saying. You drink too much." 
  "Forget it, Doc," said Scott. "He's telling the truth. I won't get to Mars, of course. You know what they're saying down in the base camp, don't you? About the bridge of bones. Walking to Mars over a bridge of bones." 
  The old man stared at him. "You have lost faith? You don't think you'll go to Mars?" 
  Scott shook his head. "I haven't lost my faith. Someone will get there ... sometime. But it's too soon yet. Look at that tablet, will you!" 
  He waved his hand at a bronze plate set into the wall. 
  "The roll of honor," said Scott, bitterly. "Look at the names. You'll have to buy another soon. There won't be room enough." 
  One Nixon already was on that scroll of bronze. Hugh Nixon, fifty-fourth from the top. And under that the name of Harry Decker, the man who had gone out with him.

  The secret she kept from the Sheikh... 
  A grief-stricken Sheikh Tariq na Hassir, the formidable ruler of the Kingdom of Avana, arrives in Paris to claim his brother's child after a car crash killed his parents--unaware that the child isn't their biological son. Salim is Tariq's son, with his former lover, a renowned architect. 
  Three years ago, after being banished by Tariq from his desert kingdom, Melanie Jones secretly gave her baby to Tariq's childless brother and his wife in a swap the world was never supposed to know about. 
  The tragedy pulls her back to the world that rejected her and the man who abandoned her--the only man capable of turning her carefully controlled world upside down. 
  Tariq will do whatever it takes to protect his legacy, including claiming Melanie as his bride and his son as heir before scandals ensue. 
  But Melanie has other plans for her future—a westernized life where she's free to operate her own business and control her own life. 
  If you love true romance and beautiful love stories set against a sensuous backdrop of the desert, art, and architecture, you'll love Claimed by The Sheikh (prequel). 
  PRAISE FOR CLAIMED BY THE SHEIKH 
  compellingly page-turning 
  “Wow, just wow, I can’t articulate enough how compellingly page-turning this remarkable story was. If I could give it more than 5 stars this would be it! This author has the gift & the power to make you experience her remarkable craft on a whole other level. I’m not one to tell the story; the blurb & other reviewers will cover that, but I will concede that this magical, mystical, hauntingly beautiful story will stay with me for the longest time. Highly recommended.”
