  The Holes - A Planet Full of...

  The Holes begins with a simple landing on a quiet, sandy world where nothing should be alive—and nothing should be waiting. But when Mapping Command veteran Frank Royal and his overeager partner McCabe investigate a perfectly round shaft plunging into darkness, they uncover something far stranger than geology. Every test fails, every assumption crumbles, and the holes begin to suggest a pattern no human mind wants to accept. 
  As the men race across the planet, each discovery deepens their unease: bottomless shafts, increasing diameters, and signs the tunnels are fresh—recently carved and impossibly clean. For Royal, instinct takes over, and the truth he pieces together is more terrifying than any alien predator. What looks like intelligence may actually be something worse. By the end, survival becomes the only goal. 
  Michael Shaara, long before winning the Pulitzer Prize for The Killer Angels, wrote bold and clever science-fiction stories that blended suspense, character chemistry, and unsettling speculation. His early work shows the sharp instincts of a writer fascinated by human decision-making under pressure. Shaara’s sci-fi often explored the thin line between bravery and foolishness, and how ordinary people react when the universe refuses to behave. 
  Shaara’s remarkable range—from war epics to eerie planetary mysteries—continues to earn him admiration across genres. The Holes stands as a glimpse of the imagination that would later make him one of America’s most respected storytellers.

  Benjamin Franklin was a proud citizen of America all his life. And a proud subject of the British Empire. Until he wasn’t. 
   
  Under British rule Franklin prospered as a printer, newspaper publisher, and writer. 
  • He served in the Pennsylvania Assembly that made laws for the colony. 
  • He led campaigns to build the first college, library, hospital, and fire department for Philadelphians. 
  • He even proposed a closer political union of Britain and its American colonies to create a stronger Empire. 
   
  But when the British Parliament began chipping away at the colonies’ rights to govern themselves, Americans rebelled. At first Franklin used all his wit and wisdom to patch up the quarrel. When that failed, his dream of a stronger Empire died. 
   
  But a new dream was born—an independent America. 
   
  Gretchen Woelfle uses Franklin’s witty and wise words to portray Benjamin Franklin’s long winding road to revolution.

Salamoo Cook, the Grand Chief of all rabbits in the world, was on his way to announce a mysterious contest. The prize? A year's supply of all-healing waaskee-choos juice fresh from spruce cones that have just fallen. Would Weeskits be able to help his brother Keegach win the juice to rid his wife of the dreadful manchoos? "Grand Chief Salamoo Is Coming to Town!" is a laugh-out-loud riot of a tale, interspersed with eight jazzy songs performed in Cree.
