  A World To Die For

  A World To Die For by Sam Carson - Titans respect men who create, and add to the betterment of others. Surely it is brave to be a Titan and muchly in love. 
  They cut the Markab out of hyper space three parsecs from Deneb, on the North Galactic Polar course. Three men were aboard the space yacht. The alien ship they expected to find was a thousand times greater. By standards of the Galactic Service, the Markab was on a suicide mission. 
  Rik Guelf, the Markab's pilot, conned sync parallax tapes, the robot master controls and set the screen charts. In came Captain Rodolph, stout and weary from twenty years of patrol service. Behind was Pere Danold, thin and lithe, with feral eyes and tight lips. 
  "I'm tossing out telar screens. If they're breaking out of hyper, as the outposts charted, we won't wait long." 
  "You hope," Danold's sardonic voice jeered. "Your phantom ship paralyzes five ships of the line beyond Altair, so they send for us to blast it." 
  Captain Rodolph looked the younger man over thoughtfully. "You volunteered back at Fleet Base Eighty." 
  Danold settled to a bench, legs outstretched. "Why not? When the brass installs the newest trinogen gun in this dinky yacht," he laughed mirthlessly, "one that can blast the ears off a cruiser at a thousand miles—well, I wanted a crack. Trouble was," he added, "I thought we were after a Vegan, making a sneak attack." 
  "You were told it was a mission beyond the call of duty," Rodolph said sternly. "None of the ships meeting the alien had a trinogen battery. We can't carry but one. We've got the fast drive. They figure we can get in one shot and duck." 
  "I still say it would make sense to arm a fleet with trinogens," Danold grumbled. "If that alien has a transparent ship five miles long, which I gravely doubt on both counts."

  An Edgar Allan Poe Award Nominee! 
  From Edgar Award nominee and WNDB cofounder Lamar Giles, this middle grade adventure stars the Epic Ellison twins as they race to solve the mystery of Cosmos Camp for young geniuses in a stand-alone companion to the Legendary Alston Boys series. 
  School’s out, and Wiki and Leen Ellison are facing a new challenge…their first summer apart. Genius inventor Leen has been accepted to Petey Thunkle’s world-famous summer training program for STEM prodigies with their eyes on the stars. Meanwhile, Wiki is looking forward to her first summer on her own, running the family corn stand and outclassing Otto and Sheed Alston. 
  But the night before Leen’s departure, the twins find out that Wiki has also been accepted into the same camp (even though she didn’t apply). And they are...not thrilled. This summer was never supposed to be a Twin Thing. The situation soon goes from bad to worse—because the Ellisons haven’t been invited just to participate in the program. 
  They’re there to solve a mystery. 
  Someone (or something) has been tampering with the company’s upcoming big-deal rocket launch. Now the sisters are undercover, dealing with hypercompetitive campers by day and trying to stop the mysterious saboteur by night. 
  All is not as it seems at PeteyTech. There are bigger, badder forces at play than the girls could’ve imagined. And if Wiki and Leen don’t get their act together fast, their first epic adventure away from Logan County could end up an epic fail...for the entire world.

  Intelligent, imaginative and kind Sara Crewe is the the only daughter of a man who thinks the best thing for her is a London education. Captain Crewe is a loving father, but mistakenly sends her to Miss Michin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, where all is not quite what it seems. 
  At first, Sara embraces the status of  'princess' afforded her, and lives up to it with compassion and generosity. But soon tragedy strikes and she finds herself thrown into the life of a lowly scullery maid, with no hope of escape.  
  With unerring wit and determination she does her best to muddle through. But eventually it all becomes too much for her, and she falls into deep sorrow. 
  If only by some miracle, there was an end to her suffering... 
  With the vocal mastery of award winning Stephanie Poppins, who 'inhabits ever character as though they are her very own', this is a must have for those seeking quality without exception.
