The Last Weapon - The Martians...

Robert Sheckley

When three fortune-hunters break open an ancient Martian vault, they expect treasure — not devices capable of leveling armies, freezing deserts, or bending reality itself. But their uneasy alliance dissolves fast as greed, paranoia, and raw ambition transform the red planet into a battleground of human betrayal. 
“The Last Weapon” showcases Robert Sheckley at his sharpest, blending dark humor with razor-edged tension as he unspools a tale of power, corruption, and the catastrophic relics of a lost world. Each discovery raises the stakes until the final, unforgettable confrontation — one that proves the Martians saved their most astonishing creation for last. 
Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) stands as one of science fiction’s most inventive and mischievous voices. Known for his wit, philosophical playfulness, and talent for blending satire with suspense, Sheckley wrote hundreds of stories that continue to influence modern sci-fi. His work appeared in Galaxy, IF, Playboy, and many other top magazines, earning him a reputation as a writer who could twist a simple premise into something brilliantly unexpected. In “The Last Weapon,” those skills are on full display.

OMG UR A Teenager

Leslie. E Young

OMG UR a Teenager is a coming-of-age novel for the Me-Too generation. Full of Gen Z angst and humor and heart, it’s a revision of the classic story to highlight personal growth in a more feminist age.

 Poised on the brink of becoming a teenager, Kat Cruz rides waves of excitement and worry. Life’s possibilities are on the horizon: her first bra, perhaps a boyfriend, maybe a job as a journalist. It all seems so close but just out of reach, until her family moves to a ramshackle fixer-upper and Kat meets the neighbor’s son, Will Morris. Despite the sad state of the house and a rash of burglaries in the area, one look into Will’s golden-brown eyes makes Kat think that perhaps the move won’t be so bad.
  
Kat relies on her best friend Jen to help her navigate their new adolescent world, including surviving her little brother Max’s superhero antics and catching Will’s attention. Kat’s parents are distracted by their floundering gym business and her grandmother’s advancing Alzheimer’s, leaving Kat to fend for herself against school bully Maria. Then Kat’s editorials in the school paper offend Will’s mother. Worse, her dance at the school talent show shocks her, and she turns her frosty back on the entire Cruz family. With life unraveling at the seams, Kat must grow more quickly than expected—and in more ways than simply filling out a bra.
