Sinopse

In "The Secret of the Ninth Planet," Donald A. Wollheim masterfully weaves a narrative that blends science fiction with a compelling mystery, set against the backdrop of the solar system. The story follows a daring expedition led by a team of scientists, who discover the existence of a mysterious ninth planet that defies conventional astronomical theories. Wollheim employs a vivid and imaginative literary style, characterized by his ability to merge technical accuracy with exuberant speculation, reflecting a mid-20th-century fascination with space exploration and the unknown. The novel invites readers to ponder questions about humanity's place in the cosmos, engaging them in a thought-provoking discourse on science and ethics in the face of the expanses of space. Wollheim was a prominent figure in the science fiction genre, not only as an author but also as an influential editor and publisher. His profound interest in the potential of human exploration and the scientific advancements of his time led him to craft stories that capture both the wonder and the moral implications of space travel. Growing up during the golden age of science fiction, Wollheim was inspired by the early visions of space exploration and became a conduit for these ideas through his powerful narratives. I highly recommend "The Secret of the Ninth Planet" to anyone seeking an enthralling blend of adventure and science, as it exemplifies Wollheim's ability to ignite curiosity about our universe. Whether a seasoned sci-fi aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, readers will find themselves captivated by the potent combination of thrilling narrative, imaginative speculation, and profound insights into the future of humanity among the stars.

Alpha Nicholas's Little Mate -...

Becky J

“Please let me know when you would like to make the rejection official." Her words hit me like a ton of bricks and despite her acting like the words she just said were nothing important
 
 "Would you like to do it now?" While my head screams yes, my heart burns begging me to say no. How can I go from never wanting my little mate to feeling so torn up at the idea of her leaving? I always assumed that I would meet her and reject her without a care but now that the reality of the situation is staring me right in the face I know that it won't be easy, not one bit.
 
Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no interest in changing that. This year, it's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball, and the last thing his wolf expects is to find his mate. Even more shocking is that his mate is 10 years younger—and he can’t ignore how his body reacts to her. He tries to fight the bond, but his world unravels when his guards capture two she-wolves running through his territory.
 
Bonnie has been broken by those closest to her, including her own twin sister. Together with her best friend Lilly, they plan to escape during the Blue Moon Ball, hosted by another pack. But when things go wrong, they’re left uncertain about their future.
 
When they’re brought to Alpha Nicholas, he faces his little mate again and uncovers secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person. Can Alpha Nicholas stop fighting the bond and accept a mate much younger than him? Will Bonnie want him after feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both let go of their pasts, or will fate keep them apart?
 
Note: Book 3 in the tetralogy series of the full edition (Chapters 73–103).
