Sinopsis

In 8th century Mercia, King Offa lusts for power. His queen, Cynethryth, is an ambitious politician minting her own coins – a first for any woman in the male-dominated era.
 
Amid societal changes, the two navigate power struggles, revolts and alliances in the tumultuous Anglo-Saxon Britain, leaving their mark during a pivotal time in English history.
 
But where is Offa's place among the English kings, and who is the real force in his reign? There is little concrete evidence, but in OFFA - REX MERCIORUM, John Broughton breaks through the veil of time and provides an entertaining, well-researched historical tale.

    From Outer Space - The Zoo...

    They gather each day beneath a transparent dome, hungry for stories of a world they have never seen. The old space veteran speaks of oceans, cities, sunlight, and choices once taken for granted—but what they truly want to hear is how it all ended. Not the glory. Not the pride. The mistake. 
    From Outer Space unfolds as a quiet confession. The first contact came through scientific triumph, when new wavelengths reached beyond Earth’s atmosphere and drew an answer from the stars. Brilliant minds strained to understand the voices that filled their thoughts. Conversations began. Questions were asked. But Earth made one small error in front of an audience that did not forgive easily. What follows is swift, clinical, and devastating. No invasion fleet. No fiery bombardment. Just a decision made elsewhere, based on what the visitors believed they had seen. 
    Robert Zacks builds this story with restraint. The horror comes not from spectacle, but from recognition. Humanity is not crushed by superior weapons. It is cataloged, judged, and reassigned. The most unsettling moments are not battles, but memories—of what once was normal, and what has become routine. 
    The final image lingers long after the last line. You may find yourself replaying it, wondering what could have been done differently—and whether anyone would have noticed in time. 
    Robert Zacks published science fiction during the mid-twentieth century in American genre magazines that specialized in sharp, ironic short fiction. His work often centered on unexpected reversals in first-contact scenarios and the social consequences of technological progress. From Outer Space stands as one of his most striking cautionary tales, a story that captures the uneasy humor and quiet dread that defined magazine-era speculative fiction.

    Sequel to Order in the Court
    Corey Nguyen definitely doesn't need antidepressants. For a girl who went through a tragedy last year, everything seems to be coming together for Corey. She has everything a college sophomore could ask for: a loving partner, a couple of cool new friends, a great relationship with her parents ... and she even managed to keep her grades up while testifying in a murder trial last semester! She should be happy and carefree with that weight off her shoulders! 
    So why does she always feel like the world is about to end? 
    In this final installment of Corey's story, she must face up to the fact that stories don't end when you get the guy (or girl) and promise to live happily ever after. After a summer living in a bubble with her new beau, Corey discovers that the world has kept turning for everyone else. The people around her are moving forward without her and if she doesn't catch up quickly, she's going to risk losing everything -- her friends, her relationship, or even somebody's life. 
    NOTE: This book mentions suicide, gun violence, and mental health crises.
