Synopsis

Outer-space service officer Bordman uses incredible knowledge and skill to make the star-flung outposts of civilization ready to receive new, vast surges of humanity, as mankind prepares to colonize the galaxy. A vast tale of interplanetary exploration, as Bordman visits Lani III—a glacier-land warmed by man, Xosa II—a shining desert made green by human ingenuity, and Loren II—an inferno of beasts, tamed by human science and daring. One of the classics of 1950s science fiction, featuring an introduction by John Betancourt.
 
Murray Leinster is widely acknowledged by fans as the "Dean of Science Fiction" and even as "Mr. Science Fiction." LIFE has reported that he reads more technical literature than most research scientists. He is also a successful inventor in his own right.

    Mirrors and mischief might not be the best combination in this delightful tale of the Paramour Bay Mysteries by USA Today bestselling author Kennedy Layne . . .  
     
     
     
    The quaint coastal town of Paramour Bay is once again hosting their annual garage sale, and Raven Marigold is happily participating for the first time with two tables of gently used items and select pieces of clothing.

    Raven hadn't counted on her familiar taking his annual battle with the local squirrel population to a new level, resulting in a collapsed table, a broken mirror, and a trapped phantom who leads Raven and the gang onto their next murder mystery that might not reveal the fairest of them all. 
     
     
     
    You'll want to put down your trusty dustpan and broom for this enchanting whodunit that might or might not result in seven years of bad luck for the residents of Paramour Bay!

    Can a vulnerable human become a dragon warrior’s greatest treasure? 
    For generations, Drakkar’s people have chosen to live alone, only coming together for brief periods, but when he joins the battle raging across his home planet, he finds an unexpected family in a set of misfit warriors. After the war ends, he chooses to cut all ties to his past and accompany his new brothers to a backwater planet.

Then a vulnerable female awakens his protective instincts. He is determined to save her - and her precious child - even though he knows he cannot keep them. 
    Kitty has a history of foolish decisions, but now that she has a child to protect she is determined to change her ways. She refuses to let the arrogant dragon-like warrior who rescues her become yet another mistake. But there is a hidden vulnerability behind his haughty demeanor, and once again her heart threatens to lead her astray.
