Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." "Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." "I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" "Yes, Pop?" His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." "But didn't you want me—" "I changed my mind."Ver livro

Anthem is Ayn Rand’s nightmarish story of a dystopian future world in which individuality does not exist. Every human being is identified by a number, not a name, with the personal pronoun “I” strictly prohibited. The “great WE” serve the collective of mankind from birth to death with no rights or personal freedom. Each life is managed, directed, and policed by a society that dictates how each person is raised, educated, and employed. No one is allowed to be alone and personal expression of thoughts, ideas, and desires is forbidden. Any resistance to authority or rule-breaking is punishable, with the worst offenders subject to horrific public execution. Within this world lives one young man, Equality 7-2521, who longs for a different world. His vague knowledge of the “Unmentionable Times” that preceded his society drives his quest to escape. Anthem is his story of finding the passage back to a past that ultimately holds his future freedom and the promise of a new mankind.Ver livro

Aria Hayes never asked to be protected. She never asked to be watched. And she definitely never asked for a man like Kade Morgan to step into her life and rewrite its rules. Locked inside a world of invisible surveillance, shifting realities, and threats that refuse to show their face, Aria is forced into a space where freedom feels like a memory—and trust feels like a risk she can’t afford. Kade is precise. Controlled. Unshakable. He doesn’t explain. He doesn’t hesitate. He only ensures one thing: she stays alive. But survival comes with a cost. Because the more he watches her…the more he understands her. And the more she resists him…the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. What begins as protection slowly turns into something far more dangerous—a quiet tension, a battle of control, and a connection neither of them planned… nor can escape. While an unseen force studies their every move, testing their limits and breaking their boundaries, Aria and Kade find themselves trapped between instinct and emotion—between staying safe…and risking everything for something real. Safe with Danger is a slow-burning, emotionally charged romantic suspense where control collides with desire, and the most dangerous place to be…might be right next to the person who’s meant to protect you.Ver livro
