  In Book 2 of The Moondial Series, Pennitent has been taken over by the mysterious Quorum and their rule is complete. They have subjugated the population by fear and by the manipulation of rivalry between the four quadrants: Astrolabe, Zenith, Horizon and Cirrus. By holding an annual Battle of the Bands, where each quadrant selects a rock group to represent them, they can channel the emotions of the people. The winners enjoy fabulous rewards whilst the least successful meet an unpleasant end. Insatt is the lead vocalist with one of the most enduring acts, The Saters, but being a rock star is not all it is made out to be. Walking away from fame and fortune is not as easy as it seems, especially when a groupie has a desire to kill you. The fate of the seven worlds is in the hands of a small band of travellers, who seem ill-equipped for the task. Rival forces with other intentions gather to reclaim the Moonstone and the Galena crystal. Possession of the stones being the first step to dominating the seven worlds! Even death cannot bring relief when evil is abroad.

  The Starship Titan continues on her outward voyage of discovery. Ranging farther and farther from Federation space, Captain William Riker and the crew look forward to living Starfleet's mission: seeking out new life, discovering new civilizations.Striking a "sandbank" -- a spatial distortion -- the Titan is knocked out of warp, her crew shaken up but uninjured. Titan has stumbled across a battlefield, and floating in it, shattered and in pieces, are the remains of a ship. Searching for survivors, they discover the ship never had a crew. The away team removes the computer core, looking for answers. Once the device is restored, it becomes clear this is not just a computer, but a thinking, reasoning artificial intelligence.It identifies itself as SecondGen White-Blue, and it comes from a civilization composed entirely of sentient computers. Eons ago these artificial intelligences were charged to be the first line of defense against The Null -- a destructive force so all-consuming that generation upon generation have waged unending war trying to find a way to beat back this terror. Captain Riker offers to assist them, but years of war have left the AIs distrustful and suspicious, especially of organics.The tide of the battle is turning, and The Null is winning. Set free, it will destroy everything in this system and then, unchecked, spread its mindless destruction into the heart of the Federation.

  Cera…… her best friend’s girlfriend 
  Hawke… the guy who tortured her 
  Amber… a prostitute with a heart of gold

  Eden..… the girl her boyfriend cheated on her with 
  Grey..… a monk with no sense of humor 
  Forest… a pint-sized version of Kala 
  No problem, right? 
  Kala’s world is set aflame by Soren, a self-declared child of the winds, who was ripped from his family and sent in an airship to the harsh northern steppes. To assuage his anger, Soren has raised an army to destroy the world and every airship in it. 
  The Church fans the flames, hoping to usher in a cleansing apocalypse and return the world to a garden-like state before humanity can destroy itself and the planet the way the Ancients almost did. The Kala is prophesied to raise an army to oppose Soren, thereby obliterating each other and accomplishing the Church’s dark goals. 
  As the mismatched confrontation looms, Kala fears the Priestess’s prediction… that her friends love her enough to die for her. 
  With captivating characters and absorbing plot, this mesmerizing fantasy series explores impossible odds, the gravity of destiny, and the power of friendship.

  The apocalypse wasn't what anyone expected--no rising flood waters, no zombies, no nuclear bombs. Instead, monsters. Their sudden invasion left the world in shatters, and now, decades later, all that's left of human civilization are a few nomadic bands struggling to survive off the land. 
  Askari was born to this world, and lives, fights, and survives alongside the community that raised her. But when she breaks one too many of the community's rules, her punishment is severe: leave. 
  Armed with her bow and blade, Askari sets off alone, guided only by a map and the promise that if she can find a book hidden in a nearby town, then she can return. But what can one person do alone in such a harsh, violent landscape? How will she survive? 
  Askari faces a challenge that will force her to learn not only about the world she lives in, but question what she believes about herself. 
  This is the first in a series of books about defying the odds, facing down challenges, and personal growth.
