  New species. Old wounds. A fight for supremacy on the galaxy’s wildest planet. 
  When Hesperidia’s satellite defense system suffers a catastrophic failure, the meteor shower it was supposed to repel rains down over the terrified tourists on safari. Three large surface impacts trigger a crisis intervention from the colonial authorities. It results in the removal of the current governor, and auditions for a successor are soon underway. Jan, Alien Safari’s pre-eminent ranger-scientist, finds herself in competition with a formidable new male colleague, who’ll stop at nothing to win the top job. 
  Their assignment leads them to the frozen north, where the discovery of a deadly new species near one of the impact craters imperils not just the safari tours, but potentially all life on the continent as well. An expedition to capture the creature tests Jan’s survival resources to their limits, and provides a shocking reminder that mankind, for all its technological prowess, can’t hold a candle to the savage ingenuity of alien nature. 
  Meanwhile, Detective Vaughn, struggling to reintegrate after his absence, must face his tragic past head on when he learns that his niece has been targeted for assassination. To keep her safe, he brings her to an island haven on Hesperidia. But the timing of his return couldn’t be worse. A perfect storm of incident, treachery and planet-shaking events endangers the very future of human existence on this miraculous alien world.

  The Professor

  The Professor is a quietly powerful and introspective novel by Charlotte Brontë that explores ambition, self-discipline, and the pursuit of personal integrity. Written before Jane Eyre but published posthumously in 1857, the novel offers a revealing glimpse into Brontë's developing literary voice and her interest in inner moral strength over outward drama.
  
  The story follows William Crimsworth, a young Englishman who rejects dependence and privilege in favor of independence earned through hard work. After leaving England, he builds a new life as a teacher in Belgium, where he struggles against professional rivalry, social isolation, and emotional restraint. His reserved nature is gradually softened through his growing affection for Frances Henri, a fellow teacher whose intelligence and determination mirror his own.
  
  Rather than focusing on sweeping romance, the novel emphasizes restraint, mutual respect, and the quiet satisfaction of shared purpose. Through William's journey, Brontë examines themes of self-respect, perseverance, education, and the dignity of honest labor.
  
  Subtle, realistic, and morally focused, The Professor stands as an important early work in Charlotte Brontë's canon. It offers readers a thoughtful exploration of character, discipline, and love grounded in equality, making it a meaningful companion to her more dramatic novels.

  Months after the liberation of the Red Palace, freed prisoner Max Murphy is still there, hoping for the return of his stolen ship and trying to forget the day he lost everything. Meanwhile, ex-Li pilot Jiang Tai is keeping his head down and wishing he could forget the secrets he carries. Or just forget anything at all. When the station is blockaded Max and Tai are sent off on a desperate mission to end the siege.
  Spending weeks on an awkwardly small ship with a weird, sleep-obsessed, former pirate of the most fanatical sort is not Max's idea of a good time -- even if Tai is kind of cute. Tai never reckoned on a long trip with a hot mess like Max, who doesn't even maintain a regular bed time. But the time they spend together helps both of them start to put their bad memories in the past. In the end they'll lay the ghosts of their memories by doing something worth remembering together.
