Contagious and Deathly Contagious

Emily Goodwin

Summary

Take the plunge into a zombie apocalypse with the first two books of the Contagium series in one volume—from the New York Times–bestselling author.

Contagious (Book One)

During the Second Great Depression, twenty-four-year-old Orissa Penwell is forced to drop out of college. Just when she thinks she couldn’t sink any lower, a virus breaks out across the country, leaving those that are infected crazed, aggressive and very hungry. Orissa is used to only being responsible for herself. When she finds herself a reluctant leader of a group of survivors, she must make a choice: set aside her issues and help the others—or go off alone in search of her own family and friends.

Deathly Contagious (Book Two)

Safely ensconced in a zombie-proof compound, Orissa’s relief is fleeting. Someone she recently let into her life—and her heart—is killed. Hell-bent on revenge, she’ll do whatever it takes to seek vengeance and get even . . . without caring what the risk is for herself. Things quickly go from bad to worse and Orissa finds herself lost and abandoned—and forced to face the living dead on her own. When lies, secrets, and desperation are added to the already harrowing world, Orissa discovers that zombies aren’t the only things to worry about . . .

Judgment Night

C. L. Moore

Classic space opera from one of the first female authors of science fiction, an “exhilarating” tour-de-force from the genre’s golden age (Futurism).   The Lens of Death was the most destructive weapon in the history of the cosmos. Now it will decide the fate of the Lyonese, whose galactic empire is crumbling before the assaults of a new, younger race, the H’vani. The champion of the empire and its home-world of Ericon is the daughter of the Emperor, Juille: a tall, fierce Amazon who will not see her dynasty end. But Juille could never have foreseen the twist of fate that turns her mortal enemy, the godlike H’vani warrior known as Egide, into her lover. As their races clash, the two are locked in a swirling embrace of death and lust that might end in the destruction of their peoples, the galaxy, and one another.   All will be decided on Judgment Night.   “It need hardly be mentioned at this late date what a gloriously fine writer Moore was . . . She combined elegant yet colorful prose with a distinctive emotional flair and one helluva imagination.” —Fantasy Literature

Inside the Comet

Arthur C. Clarke

Inside the Comet by Arthur C. Clarke - When George was given the chance to board the Challenger and chase after the most spectacular sight ever to appear in the heavens he could hardly believe his luck, but be careful what you wish for. 
“I don't know why I'm recording this,” said George Takeo Pickett slowly into the hovering microphone. “There's no chance that anyone will ever hear it. They say the comet will bring us back to the neighborhood of Earth in about two million years, when it makes its next turn around the Sun. I wonder if mankind will still be in existence then, and whether the comet will put on as good a display for our descendants as it did for us? Maybe they'll launch an expedition, just as we have done, to see what they can find. And they'll find us...
