Sinopsis

This New York Times–bestselling chapter in the Hugo Award–winning Space Odyssey series is “intriguing and satisfying . . . the all-round best Odyssey so far” (Kirkus Reviews).   The third book in Clarke’s beloved Space Odyssey continues the story of Heywood Floyd, survivor of two previous encounters with the mysterious monoliths and the alien intelligences behind them. Floyd is chosen as one of a handful of celebrity guests to witness the first manned touchdown on the surface of Halley’s Comet on the privately-owned spaceship Universe.   But on Jupiter’s moon Europa, scientists have spotted the sudden appearance of a single diamond the size of a mountain—a fragment of Jupiter’s core. When the spaceship Galaxy is hijacked and forced to crash into Europa’s ocean, the Universe is diverted from its original mission to rescue the crew.   Now Heywood Floyd must once again survive an encounter with HAL, David Bowman, and the mysterious monolith-building race with its own inscrutable agenda to shape the destiny of the human race.

    (Previously published as Before the Killing by Marjory Kaptanoglu) 
    A time-travel tale of love and murder… 
    In 1973, 19-year-old Cassie returns to her home town in coastal Massachusetts after her first year away at college. The next day, her boyfriend, Julian, is implicated in a brutal killing. 
    “Once I started I couldn’t put it down!” -Bookshelf Adventures 
    Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability. She can cast her consciousness back to a younger version of herself, allowing her to re-live that earlier time with the benefit of foreknowledge. 
    "A cleverly plotted fantasy thriller with a strong cast of characters." -The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 
    Cassie, who has never gotten over her feelings for Julian, asks herself the question, what if he was innocent? Now she has a way to go back in time and witness what actually happened. 
    “Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." -The BookLife Prize 
    In witnessing the truth, she inadvertently reveals herself to the killer, who begins to pursue her in past and present both. With no evidence beyond what she’s seen during time travel, how can she hope to bring the killer to justice before she becomes the next victim? 
    Margie Benedict's "prose is crisp and purposeful, charged with feeling, and always attuned to what will engage readers in each moment." (The BookLife Prize)

    Nukes ended most of society. Now all that's left is taxes. 
    Arthur McDowell works for the most indestructible employer left in post-apocalyptic America: the IRS. Safe and sound inside a government bunker, Arthur is proud to be just another drone. But for an ambitious man (and excellent typist) such as Arthur, a promotion to supervisor is just around the corner. 
    Arthur's world flips when instead of a becoming supervisor, the brass makes him a census-taker. His task: to head out into the irradiated streets armed with paperwork and red tape. Assigned to him is a drug-addicted bodyguard, Rabia Duke, who could care less if they survive. 
    All's well at first, but after Arthur is confronted by a warlord, he realizes that the only thing that can save them all is a massive audit. Because even above radiation, roving gangs, and starvation, what the world should fear the most remains bureaucracy. A happy bureaucracy. 
    Brazil by way of Mad Max, M.P. Fitzgerald's A Happy Bureaucracy is a bleak and hilarious look at the wheels of a system that keep turning even when nothing else is left. Get your copy today!
