Sinopsis

What would a future traveler discover in an America that has taken its money-based society to the extreme? Michael Brown, our hero from the first book of the trilogy, is now 35 and sets out to explore this new world. In America, he encounters 'pecuniocracy,' a system where the rationality of money governs all aspects of life: contract marriages, commercial families, custody battles with financial stakes, and other bizarre phenomena stemming from the belief that money is the cornerstone of humanity and society. Through a series of thrilling adventures and unexpected twists, Michael must navigate and ultimately escape from this dystopian future America.
"A monumentally amazing story…"

    *Winner of the Aurora Award for Best Novel*From SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author Kate Heartfield comes a glorious, lyrical retelling of one of Norse mythology’s greatest epics 
    'With a brilliant heroine at the helm, this richly detailed, character-driven story renders epic mythological battles on a human scale' Publishers Weekly 
    Brynhild is a Valkyrie: shieldmaiden of the Allfather, chooser of the slain. But now she too has fallen, flightless in her exile. 
    Gudrun is a princess of Burgundy, a daughter of the Rhine, a prize for an invading king – a king whose brother Attila has other plans, and a dragon to call upon. 
    And in the songs to be sung, there is another hero: Sigurd, a warrior with a sword sharper than the new moon. 
    As the legends tell, these names are destined to be lovers, fated as enemies. But here on Midgard, legends can be lies… 
    For not all heroes are heroic, nor all monsters monstrous. And a shieldmaiden may yet find that love is the greatest weapon of all. 
    The Valkyrie is a historical fantasy fiction by Sunday Times bestselling author, Kate Heartfield. This latest mediaeval romance is a fresh take on fairy tales, where heroes and monsters are not always what they seem. 
    For fans of Maria Lewis (The Graveyard Shift), Gwendolyn Kiste (The Haunting of Velkwood), Christie Golden (Blood Ties), William Wood (Ruth and Ann's Guide to Time Travel, Volume II), and Lucy A. Snyder (You, Human).

    Fleeting Death: Space Pirates is a dark, hard science fiction space adventure following a band of space pirates known as "the Marauders". Hundreds of people go missing in the remote, treacherous region of space they inhabit. On one side is a corrupt, state-corporate society, and on the other is all the fearsome things which lurk in the outer darkness. Yearning for relaxation, they instead find themselves regularly tested from their technical skills to their logic. 
    It is the year 2527. 
    Space mining has finally been achieved. The resources then brought us space construction, free of the expenses of launches. Humanity became able to build large structures in space. What came next was an extremely costly and unreliable method of warp travel, allowing humanity to quickly visit other star systems. The sheltered Earthlings of their techno-monoculture found themselves standing at the shore of a boundless frontier, the final frontier. 
    Humans and machines fight in a futile battle of survival in this inhospitable existence. Just to live on par with humans of the past, a spaceman requires a vast wealth and knowledge. Centuries ago, they would each be millionaires. Now, they are lucky to be indentured slaves to ruthless quintillionaires, who regard them as “parasites”. Even the brightest minds are expendable, with millions of others always waiting to take their place. 
    “The Sargasso”, also known as “Sector X2”, is a large cluster of star systems located on the very fringe of human settlement and 90 light-years from Earth. This sector has been hotly contested since the discovery of its once inhabitable world, Kragnul. Considered to be one of the worst sectors, the Sargasso is home to many criminals, black ops teams, madmen and anomalies. 
    Here, the space pirates known as “the Sargasso Marauders", are just trying to stay sane and survive.

    A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine from February–July, 1912. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    The Barsoom series inspired a number of well-known 20th-century science fiction writers, including Jack Vance, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, and John Norman. The series was also inspirational for many scientists in the fields of space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life, including Carl Sagan, who read A Princess of Mars when he was a child.

    The perfect next adventure for fans of Red Rising and Hunger Games series, Genesis Echo weaves together tales from a dystopian galaxy not too far from our own. 
    Rain, hidden in an eroding sea-town on Earth by her father and uncle, believes herself to be an ordinary girl, oblivious to her true origins. The truth is, she was born on another planet, and her existence is a closely guarded secret from the oppressive Grey Empire, who hunt her relentlessly across the cosmos. 
    As Rain begins to understand her identity, she learns that Earth has been Humanity’s prison for 70,000 years. The Greys’ domination is absolute and they record everything on Earth to broadcast across the empire for entertainment. Carefully contrived war, disease, and chaos: all a spectacle for their own amusement. 
    On the other side of the galaxy, Lor, a young girl with unique Source-powers, struggles to survive on a derelict factory planet: Grima, where escaped mistakes from the Greys’ cloning experiments lurk in the darkness. And Tonjin, an Elite warrior-in-training, prepares to confront the invasion of his home planet, Rien, in a diabolical viral assault by the Greys. 
    As Rain, Lor, and Tonjin's fates intertwine, they must navigate a treacherous universe where nothing is as it seems and trust becomes their most valuable currency. Together, they will uncover the truth about humanity's captivity and embark on a daring quest to overthrow their oppressors and reclaim their freedom. 
    — 
    Every person has an unbelievable power locked away inside them. The truth is, they stole it even from our memories.
