    His experiment shouldn't have wrecked his lab, created a portal to another dimension, or sucked him through said portal. 
     
     
     
    Despite all that, Charles Smith found himself landing atop the emissary of an evil group of mages called the Shadow Council. 
     
     
     
    Literally on top of him, along with half the gear from his lab, which had the fortunate side-effect of turning the evil sorcerer into paste. 
     
     
     
    This won Charles the gratitude of King Alfred, ruler of the Kingdom of Kortall and the man who said sorcerer had been threatening moments before Smith's arrival. 
     
     
     
    But the reward for a job well done is always more work! 
     
     
     
    Alfred quickly recruits Charles to help defend his kingdom against the invading army. Wildly outmatched, Alfred's forces are on the verge of being crushed. If he falls, there will be little to stop the Shadow Council from taking over the entire world. 
     
     
     
    Charles will need every trick he knows, including a lot of science, some engineering—and maybe even a little bit of magic—if Kortall is to have any hope of surviving!

    My greatest enemy has always been myself. Over the past few weeks, I've painstakingly put my broken pieces back together, from the dark mysteries of my past to the heartrending conflict of my present. 
     
     
     
    But just when I finally start to feel whole again, everything around me falls apart. 
     
     
     
    Lallakai, the newly ascended Queen of Shadow and Death, betrays us and takes Zak prisoner. Echo, the powerful fae I thought would help save Zak, threatens to kill me. And Ríkr's nemesis, the ruthless Summer Queen, is hunting him again. 
     
     
     
    With the four ancient fae poised to battle for supremacy, I'm the only one who can prevent a catastrophic clash of their power. But stopping them will require more than druidic magic. It'll take an act of destruction as devastating as they are. 
     
     
     
    I'm about to test the strength of my scarred heart, and if I fail, I'll end up destroying everything—and everyone—I'm most desperate to protect.

    Ethan Kinkaid is one of those chosen; however, plans and execution never align as his estranged son is hundreds of miles away and in need. Ethan sets out to bring him to safety but this journey will be the most difficult of his life as the world around him, including humanity itself, is falling apart.

    Abducted off the space station where I teach the standard galactic language, I'm imprisoned with two other women in a cold, dirty cell on an alien ship. We're destined for something worse than death until a fierce, blue-haired alien male rescues us. We recover on his ship with his group of Heveian pirates. There, the attraction that formed when he first carried me in his arms grows into a force neither of us can deny. But something else has taken up residence on the ship. Something that will stop at nothing to destroy us all.

    Warning From the Stars by Ron Cocking - Don't believe in flying saucers? Neither do we, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there can be no other way for Earth to get its last.... Warning From the Stars 
    It was a beautifully machined container, shaped like a two pound chocolate candy box, the color and texture of lead. The cover fitted so accurately that it was difficult to see where it met the lip on the base. 
    Yet when Forster lifted the container from the desk in the security guards' office, he almost hit himself in the face with it, so light was it. 
    He read the words clumsily etched by hand into the top surface with some sharp instrument: 
    TO BE OPENED ONLY BY: 
    Dr. Richard Forster, 
    Assistant Director, 
    Air Force Special Research Center, 
    Petersport, Md. 
    CAUTION: Open not later than 
    24 hours after receipt. 
    DO NOT OPEN in atmosphere less than equivalent of 65,000 feet above M.S.L. 
    He turned the container over and over. It bore no other markings—no express label or stamps, no file or reference number, no return address. 
    It was superbly machined, he saw. 
    Tentatively he pulled at the container cover, it was as firm as if it had been welded on. But then, if the cover had been closed in the thin atmosphere of 65,000 feet, it would be held on by the terrific pressure of a column of air twelve miles high. 
    Forster looked up at the burly guard. 
    "Who left this here?" 
    "Your guess is as good as mine, sir." The man's voice was as close to insolence as the difference in status would allow, and Forster bristled.
