Summary

It’s been eight months since the world lived through a peril unlike any other that came before. Nanalie continues to enjoy her freedom, working at Harré, hanging out with friends, and even seeing Rockmann on rare occasion. When she hears a rumor of a wax doll that can send people into the past or future, she doesn’t make much of it. Little does she know said doll is about to turn her whole life on its head, forcing her to reflect on questions she’s avoided like the plague...
 
A jealous former classmate travels into the past to take Rockmann for herself, leaving Nanalie and company no choice but to follow. How will they stop the homewrecker, and who’s truly behind the whole mess? Meanwhile, the director of Harré, Theodora Locktiss, has her own troubles to confront. A heavy loss in the distant past. A suffocating air that sometimes hangs in the guild. What transpired on that fateful day when the hands of her clock stopped moving?

Venus Plus X

Theodore Sturgeon

From Hugo and Nebula winner Theodore Sturgeon comes a seeming utopia: a world with only one gender and no poverty, pollution, or war—but at what cost? 
 
 
  
Charlie Johns has been snatched from his home on Earth and delivered to the strange future world of Ledom. Technology has triumphed over hunger, overpopulation, pollution, and even time and space. But there is a change Charlie finds even more shocking: Gender is a thing of the past. Gone are the tensions between male and female. Gone is the human preoccupation with sex. 
 
 
  
As Charlie explores Ledom and its people, he finds his engrained human precepts are profane in this new world. But then why are his hosts so eager for his approval? Something isn't right about Ledom's ideal existence. And when cracks begin to appear in its flawless façade, Charlie must unearth the city's terrible secrets . . . before it's too late. 
 
 
  
Theodore Sturgeon's visionary tale is literary science fiction at its most brazen and inventive. A scathing critique of American puritanism that unabashedly explores questions of sexuality and gender, it remains as relevant, insightful, provocative, and troubling as when it first appeared in print.

Super Powereds: Year Two (3 of...

Drew Hayes

"Despite having their secret revealed, the residents of Melbrook Hall return to Lander University for another year in the Hero Certification Program. Good thing the focus of this year is teamwork, because with their origins known they’ll have to lean on each other more than ever.

Now finally sophomores, their curriculum expands, allowing them to train in the majors that Heroes specialize in. The new classes will test their minds, bodies, and determination in ways never anticipated. In a year filled with the unveiling of secrets, unexpected entanglements, and, of course, super-powered battles, who will be left standing is anyone’s guess. Because if all that weren’t enough, more light is being shed on last year’s kidnapping attempt, and the results point at something far bigger than mere rogue educators.

Something that isn’t even close to being over with.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll...

Robert Louis Stevenson

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil, has become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a moral tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatcher," which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "Olalla," a tale of vampirism and "The Beast Within" which features a beautiful woman at its center.

Prepare to be swept away on a thrilling odyssey where courage, sacrifice, and resilience will forge the path of these young guardians.
