Sinopse

In "Stand by for Mars!", Carey Rockwell crafts a thrilling narrative that transports readers to the outer reaches of the solar system. The novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions and fast-paced action, which are hallmarks of mid-20th-century science fiction. Set against the backdrop of a burgeoning space age, Rockwell weaves a tale of adventure, exploring both the dimensions of human endeavor and the moral dilemmas associated with space exploration. Through the protagonist's journey, themes of bravery, curiosity, and the complexities of interplanetary life resonate, encapsulating the optimism and fears of a society on the cusp of new frontiers. Carey Rockwell, a pen name for a more anonymous author in the genre, emerged during a time when space fiction was gaining immense popularity. His experiences as an aspiring astronaut and a fervent admirer of science shaped his vision, allowing him to blend technical accuracy with imaginative storytelling. This unique intersection of knowledge and creativity provides depth to the narrative, drawing readers into a world that feels both fantastical and plausible. I highly recommend "Stand by for Mars!" to enthusiasts of classic science fiction and readers curious about the era's exploration spirit. Rockwell'Äôs engaging prose and innovative ideas will resonate with those intrigued by the possibilities of space travel and the human condition within that context.

    From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A RISE OF LEGENDS (Book #19), the nineteenth book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!
    
    In A RISE OF LEGENDS, the scattered heroes of the Ring face extraordinary challenges as ancient powers reawaken. Thor's journey north reveals a shocking truth—the people he thought were an enemy are actually guardians of an ancient prison containing horrors from a forgotten age. 
    
    Meanwhile, Guwayne's rescue mission is derailed when a mysterious fog separates him from his crew, leaving him stranded on an uncharted island where he meets a powerful Druid. Under her guidance, Guwayne begins to unlock abilities that surpass even his father's, though his newfound powers bring disturbing visions of devastation. While in the Ring, Gwendolyn endures captivity at the hands of treacherous nobles while uncovering their plot to use barbarian invaders as pawns in their bid for power. 
    
    As these threats converge from all directions, the royal family faces its greatest test—separated by vast distances but united in their struggle against forces that threaten not just the kingdom, but the world itself. With ancient evils stirring and betrayal lurking at every turn, the fate of the Ring hangs by the thinnest of threads.
    
    With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!

    In a remote town near the Great Smoky Mountains, Bud Gregory fixes cars when he feels like it—and fixes them impossibly well. While the world begins to suffer unexplained deaths, equipment failures, and biological anomalies, Gregory remains unaware that his quiet brilliance may be connected to a growing global disaster. 
    Physicist Dr. David Murfree is the first to see the pattern. As evidence mounts, he follows the trail into the mountains, uncovering a terrifying truth rooted in pure intuition rather than formal science. What he finds challenges everything known about atomic energy, responsibility, and unintended consequences. 
    Murray Leinster blends scientific speculation with human insight, crafting a story where genius wears overalls and catastrophe grows from simple intentions. The Gregory Circle is a tense, idea-driven classic that builds toward an unforgettable confrontation between knowledge and instinct. 
    Murray Leinster, the pen name of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, was one of science fiction’s most influential early voices. Writing for decades, he helped define modern sci-fi with stories grounded in plausible science and deeply human stakes.
