  Summertime on Icarus is a slow-burn tale of survival from Arthur C. Clarke, plunging listeners into the heart of a solar system where the sun itself becomes the enemy. When astronaut Colin Sherrard crashes on the two-mile-wide asteroid Icarus, he wakes to an impossible race against time: sunrise. As the asteroid spins toward a star thirty times larger than it appears from Earth, Sherrard must crawl, think, and fight to cling to the sliver of darkness that protects him from instant destruction. What follows is a tense struggle marked by psychological strain, moment-to-moment improvisation, and the frightening simplicity of a single truth—he has minutes to survive, not hours. 
  Clarke makes the harsh beauty of the inner solar system come alive in blinding, furnace-bright detail. He places the listener inside Sherrard’s mind as he battles vertigo, isolation, and the vast indifference of space itself. This story is for fans of realistic science fiction—tight, atmospheric, and grounded in real physics—who love the thrill of humans pushing against the limits of nature. Its intensity is not derived from monsters or cosmic terror but from the stark, overwhelming power of the universe. 
  Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most influential science fiction writers in history, helped define the genre with stories rooted in scientific wonder and technological possibility. From Childhood’s End to “The Sentinel,” his visions shaped both popular imagination and the future of space exploration. Clarke’s storytelling blends clarity, curiosity, and a sense of awe that continues to inspire readers, scientists, and dreamers alike. His work remains a cornerstone of classic science fiction, reminding us how small—and how extraordinary—the human race can be.

  We can't tell you who we are.  Or where we live.  It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.  Really careful.  So we don't trust anyone.  Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble.  Yeah.  Even you.The pint-sized Helmacrons may have departed Earth, but they haven't finished causing trouble for the Animorphs and Ax.  They left behind a damaged ship–containing morph-tracking technology.

But when Cassie tries to hide the Andalites' cube, it accidentally touches a Cape Buffalo!  Now there's a mean old buffalo with morphing powers on the loose.  And he could give away the secret of the Animorphs if he charges into the wrong hands….

  Rosanne Parry, acclaimed author of A Wolf Called Wander and Heart of a Shepherd, shines a light on Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s, a time of critical cultural upheaval. 
   
   
   
  Pearl has always dreamed of hunting whales, just like her father. Of taking to the sea in their eight-man canoe, standing at the prow with a harpoon, and waiting for a whale to lift its barnacle-speckled head as it offers its life for the life of the tribe. But now that can never be. Pearl's father was lost on the last hunt, and the whales hide from the great steam-powered ships carrying harpoon cannons, which harvest not one but dozens of whales from the ocean. With the whales gone, Pearl's people, the Makah, struggle to survive as Pearl searches for ways to preserve their stories and skills.
