  “You don’t need the stars telling your story. I don’t believe in constellations. Not yours, not mine. So forge your own future.” 
  Reese Sadoleto is an ex-slave, genius machinist, and the only companion of the superhuman “Vigilant.” Together, Reese and the Vigilant battle the City of Machindoun’s underground slave trafficking network and force its secret leaders to the brink. But the night the Vigilant plans to deliver the death blow and end slavery for good, he vanishes. 
  A tense ceasefire settles over Machindoun. Trafficking goes underground and regular folk walk the streets again. With no hero to mend, missions to plan, or gear to repair, Reese determines to forget her past and forge a future all her own. 
  But the past never forgets. 
  A year after his disappearance, the Vigilant’s foes return to take back Machindoun, killing one of Reese’s new friends in the process. Fueled by vengeance, Reese determines to finish what the Vigilant started no matter the cost. She weaponizes her body with cybernetics while playing the city’s criminals, elite, and working class against each other in an escalating game of cat-and-mouse. 
  Machindoun’s factions go to war against each other, unaware that Reese has orchestrated the conflict. But when her greatest foes reveal themselves as the architects of Machindoun’s—and Reese’s—suffering, she realizes that to kill her past, free herself from the Vigilant’s legacy, and forge her own life for herself, she must sacrifice either her humanity or her life. Neither vengeance nor her foes will let her escape with both.

  The Phony Campus Doc and the Shy...

  J.C. Cummings

  Steve Morgan is one lucky son-of-a-gun. He just won a $96 million Megabucks jackpot. Steve is also a bit of a pervert—a pervert with a lifelong addiction to all things medical. To be more specific, Steve is hugely turned on seeing beautiful women being intimately examined by a male doctor.
   
  But it’s not just the thought of being allowed to palpate and probe a pretty lady’s private, slippery goodies that gets him; it's the feeling of power and domination the doctor gets, combined with the reluctance, vulnerability, and sheer embarrassment the woman feels. Steve would like nothing more than to do what those lucky doctors do—give a shy, shaky woman a thorough examination.
   
  Well, now he can afford to do just that—and he won’t even need years of med school to make it happen!
   
  First, Steve immerses himself in a month-long program of watching medical tutorial videos and studying the ways of the gynecologist. Then he relocates to just outside a Florida university teeming with gorgeous teens...and whose Dean of Admissions is, in no uncertain terms, very bribable. The deal is this: In exchange for a whole lot of money, the Dean will allow Steve to “screen” gorgeous incoming freshmen.
   
  And, one by one, in come the girls. And off come their clothes.
   
  Steve is now in his glory feeling up and probing one delicious eighteen-year-old after another. His days are now filled with breast exams, pelvic exams, rectal exams, and more. And these nubile honeys have bodies like he never could have imagined. Even better, most of them are reluctant, shaky, nervous, and embarrassed to the nth degree by the rather over-the-top exams he subjects them to.
   
  Alas, all good things must come to an end--that is, if the NEW (and very sexy) Dean of Admissions has anything to say about it! But is it possible that this dream life could be replaced with something even better—even after he gets caught and possibly sent up the river?

  Factotum

  One of Charles Bukowski's best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next. 
  Charles Bukowski's posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.
