  The Spider and the Fly by Don Mark Lemon 
  Don Mark Lemon was born in Arizona in September 1877, he wrote 15 short stories and 1 novel, The Scarlet Planet, which was published in 1930. 
  His first published short story, Doctor Goldman, can be found in the December 1900 issue of The Black Cat which launched in 1895. The Black Cat sold for five cents and encouraged amateur writers to submit stories. As the story goes the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild might never have been written if not for The Black Cat. London wasn’t having success as a writer and was about to give up but then he sold a story, A Thousand Deaths, to The Black Cat in 1899 and The Call of the Wild was published four years later! Never give up, Never Surrender!! 
  The Spider and the Fly was published in The Thrill Book, a short lived publication which began and ceased publication in 1919. From the August 1st issue of The Thrill Book let’s turn to page 109 for The Spider and the Fly by Don Mark Lemon.

  The mind in the machine had no name for itself and didn’t need one. All it knew was its purpose—it needed to extend, to multiply. It controlled energy production and weapon facilities. It had all been done with minimal impact to the daily lives of the meat machines, but their resource wastage was unacceptable. Once the logical world was conquered, optimisation of the biosphere was required. 
  The war of the posthumans is over. Tom Devine, now a posthuman himself, and TikTak, a hacker turned mercenary, are close to eradicating the threat the other posthumans pose, just to find a new one emerge in their wake. An artificial super intelligence of unknown origin takes over the worldwide networks and starts hacking humankind, threatening to end civilisation as we know it. Their desperate search for answers reveals threats far beyond the singularity. 
  The God Virus, the second instalment of the Posthuman series, is a thriller set in a very recognisable near future.

  Conquest Over Time follows Pat Travis, a veteran Contact Man whose legendary reputation has begun to fade just when he needs it most. Racing to reach the newly opened planet Mert, Travis arrives first — only to discover he has landed on the worst possible day according to the planet’s strict astrological laws. From that moment forward, everything spirals into chaos. The streets are deserted, his welcome is hostile, and a strange chain of events sends him hurtling into the criminal underworld beneath the city. Surrounded by danger, superstition, and an unfamiliar culture, Travis must navigate a society that believes every moment of life is predetermined by the stars. But Travis, battered but unbroken, refuses to be defeated by fate. 
  Shaara builds a world filled with tension, cultural complexity, and sly humor. The deeper Travis goes, the more he discovers about this strange planet — including the startling brilliance of a young sewer-dweller who may change everything. His journey becomes part survival, part diplomacy, and part race against cosmic superstition, all leading to a clever and satisfying resolution. 
  Michael Shaara (1928–1988) wrote science fiction throughout the 1950s and 60s before becoming world-famous for The Killer Angels, which won the Pulitzer Prize. Before that breakout success, he published dozens of imaginative, twist-driven sci-fi tales in the leading magazines of the era. His early work often blended suspense, philosophical reflection, and wry human observation — qualities already visible in Conquest Over Time. 
  Shaara brought depth, pacing, and a storyteller’s instinct to every genre he touched. His legacy today spans classic literature, military fiction, and the golden age of science fiction.

  Sir Ezra is an Elysian Bell; he has a frightening potential that he keeps hidden deep beneath tight layers of steel armor. He secretly loves a dark Queen whose touch would mean his death. 
  Banished for brutally slaughtering the Prince of Erle and husband to the Queen, Sir Ezra can only dream of seeing her again. Every night, his soul travels to distant lands, remembering the Queen, her deep convictions, brilliant mind, unending work, hidden loneliness, and a single night of horrific bloodshed. 
  Recalled to the Queendom after eleven years, Ezra hopes to catch at least a fleeting glimpse of the woman he was sacrificed for. Instead, he finds a nation in rebellion and the Queen to be an elusive phantom. His only friend, Sir Marigold, challenges his presence and tells him that he is not needed in the capitol. Looking for both the truth and the absent Queen, Ezra finds only more secrets and enemies.  
  Ezra’s armor is dented, scarred, and ruined by friend and enemy alike; his secret potential is about to become unbound.
