  The way we feel about another person, or about objects, is often bound up in associations that have no direct connection with the person or object at all. Often, what we call a "change of heart" comes about sheerly from a change in the many associations which make up our present viewpoint. Now, suppose that these associations could be altered artificially, at the option of the person who was in charge of the process....

  During the famed Indian chief, 'Red Cloud War', against the armies of the United States, hostilities grew ever more dangerous and treacherous with every passing day. Many skirmishes and battles between the warring factions have become legendary and worthy of being written down in journals that have become the annuls of military history. 
  Such battles include - the 'Battle of Deer Creek Station', on May 20, 1865. Also, the 'Battle of Dry Creek Station', on June 3, 1865, as well as, the 'Battle of Sage Creek Station', on June 8, 1865, just to mention a few. 
  As the many skirmishes and battles that have occurred and is now and forever written down in the annuls of history as legendary, there is but one more that would seem prudent, if not necessary to list here, and that would be the, 'North Platte River Melee', in Wyoming territory on June 30, 1865. 
  This is that story……

  Dr. Jules Craig holds the most powerful medical credential in human civilization. With the predictograph and months of recorded personal data, he can map the course of a person’s life with frightening accuracy. Governments rely on these lifeline diagnoses to maintain order across the Solar System. Yet every doctor trained to read those futures must obey the same absolute rule: never reveal an unhappy prediction—and never attempt to learn your own. 
  Craig has spent years watching people walk calmly toward disasters he is forbidden to prevent. The strain is beginning to break him. When another patient leaves his office smiling, unaware that death waits only weeks away, Craig decides he has had enough. If a man can see his future in advance, perhaps he can choose a different path. Determined to prove it, Craig sets a dangerous experiment in motion. Under a false name, he arranges for another doctor to analyze his own lifeline charts. 
  The result arrives hours later, sealed in a report meant only for Craig’s eyes. What he reads is not the future he expected. According to the machine that never fails, he will soon lose control of his mind and commit several murders before authorities stop him. One victim, the report warns, will be someone he loves deeply. 
  Now Craig faces a terrible problem. If the prediction is correct, time is running out before his mind turns against him. If the prediction can be changed, every decision he makes from this moment forward may alter the outcome. But there is one person standing closest to him—and suddenly he is no longer sure he can trust himself. 
  Jerry Shelton’s “You Are Forbidden” imagines a future where technology can trace a person’s life before it happens. The story drives its tension through one unbearable question: what would you do if the machine said you would become a killer?

  "The Way of All Flesh" is a semi-autobiographical novel by Samuel Butler, published posthumously in 1903. The narrative critiques Victorian society, particularly its hypocrisy surrounding family, religion, and education, through the lens of the Pontifex family across four generations 
  The story begins with John Pontifex, a carpenter whose ambitions lead him to become a wealthy but morally questionable businessman. His obsession with social status sets the stage for the struggles faced by his descendants, particularly his son George and grandson Theobald. 
  The central character, Ernest Pontifex, emerges as the great-grandson of John. Raised in a repressive environment by his domineering parents, Theobald and Christina, Ernest grapples with the expectations placed upon him to follow a path in the clergy. Despite initial enthusiasm for religious life, he becomes disillusioned during his time at Cambridge and later as a curate. His attempts to reform the Church lead to personal crises, including a misguided sexual advance that results in imprisonment.

  In 1884, in a history very different from our own, the world stood on the verge of war. Once again, the Russian and British Empires faced each other across the Mississippi. Then the first trans-temporal portal was developed on the Nayarit Line and history changed - again. 
  A hundred years later the Cross-Temporal Empire consisted of fifty-four parallel, alternate Earths. The death of First Leader Manek splits the ruling Council, and the Clemhorn family finds itself drawn into the struggle. A struggle not only for the future of the Empire, but for their lives; in a war that will split families and set cousin against cousin. 
  "The first novel in what promises to be an epic multivolume series" - Michael Cnudde (author of War Plan Crimson, A Novel of Alternate History) 
  "'Nightfall' is a combination of classic sci-fi invasion and imperial literature with a compelling plot" - Jo Niederhoff, The San Francisco Book Review
