  Arm of the Law by Harry Harrison - At one time—this was before the Robot Restriction Laws—they'd even allowed them to make their own decisions.... 
  It was a big, coffin-shaped plywood box that looked like it weighed a ton. This brawny type just dumped it through the door of the police station and started away. I looked up from the blotter and shouted at the trucker's vanishing back. 
  "What the hell is that?" 
  "How should I know?" he said as he swung up into the cab. "I just deliver, I don't X-ray 'em. It came on the morning rocket from earth is all I know." He gunned the truck more than he had to and threw up a billowing cloud of red dust. 
  "Jokers," I growled to myself. "Mars is full of jokers." 
  When I went over to look at the box I could feel the dust grate between my teeth. Chief Craig must have heard the racket because he came out of his office and helped me stand and look at the box. 
  "Think it's a bomb?" he asked in a bored voice. 
  "Why would anyone bother—particularly with a thing this size? And all the way from earth." 
  He nodded agreement and walked around to look at the other end. There was no sender's address anywhere on the outside. Finally we had to dig out the crowbar and I went to work on the top. After some prying it pulled free and fell off. 
  That was when we had our first look at Ned. We all would have been a lot happier if it had been our last look as well. If we had just put the lid back on and shipped the thing back to earth! I know now what they mean about Pandora's Box. 
  But we just stood there and stared like a couple of rubes. Ned lay motionless and stared back at us. 
  "A robot!" the Chief said. 
  "Very observant; it's easy to see you went to the police academy." 
  "Ha ha! Now find out what he's doing here."

  Your worst enemy is sometimes yourself. 
  Evaran and the gang travel to the NGC 4696 galaxy in the Centarus cluster, a part of the Hydra-Centarus supercluster, to deal with a summons. The world they arrive at is under a dimensional invasion by brood-like creatures. However, there is something of high value to the gang there, and they drop in to investigate. 
  What they find will lead them to Keloton, city-ship and home of the Hoxscarus. One problem is that Evaran is being hunted, and Keloton suffers the impact of that. Another issue is that the Hoxscarus the gang knows are not the same as the ones in Keloton. 
  Not only does the gang need to deal with this new threat, the Time Wardens have also entered the picture. Pozarra, a powerful representative of the Hoxscarus, joins up with Evaran and the gang to deal with all the threats and to stop a powerful time-traveling enemy from rewriting history in this final book of the series.

  DEATH COMES FOR US ALL 
  After his death, Fen woke up in a strange place without any memory of himself or the events that led to his death. This new place was unlike anything he’d seen on Earth, but that wasn’t his biggest problem. Fen’s biggest problem was the sword at his neck and the big man asking him to tell the truth. 
  But telling the truth seemed wrong, out of place. Lying seemed like the easiest and fastest way to keep his head. So he lied. 
  This small but consequential action sent him on a path in search of the truth. The outcome was simple: If he could prove his innocence, he’d get to live, but if he lied, he’d die for good.

  The Voices of Martyrs

  Maurice Broaddus

  From visionary Afrofuturist Maurice Broaddus comes the re-release of this seminal collection, with an all-new introduction and notes from the author. Fourteen stories meld history, folktales, horror, fantasy, and science fiction into electric moments scattered through ten centuries of Black experience.
  An outcast West African warrior takes on evil spirits, and the brutal priest who creates them. A freedwoman reveals what a spirit stone truly commemorates. A museum of grief houses a widower's memories—and a child's. Visiting his mother's Jamaican home, an American inherits a strange spirital inheritance. A 1970s quad skater flees time-traveling Afronauts convinced he can find the mothership groove. Steamfunk revolution foments in communities underneath robot-run Indianapolis. A lieutenant of the Evangelical States of America navigates first contact with an unexpected alien race.
  Through war and enlightenment, alongside vampires, obeah men, and common injustice, Broaddus's lyrical prose delivers epiphanies wrapped in page-turning excitement.
  Praise for The Voices of Marytrs:
  "The lush, descriptive prose tantalizes all the senses, drawing the reader into a rich world spanning both miles and centuries. Hints of magic in both the past and present, as well as the science fiction elements of the future stories, make this an exciting exploration of genre as well as culture." — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
  "Give thanks for these griot, hip-funk, afrofuturist stories of pure horror and complicated hope. Broaddus sounds a deep beat in this true myth of survival: what our heads forget, our bones remember." — Karen Lord, author of The Best of All Possible Worlds

  Two fractured souls. One heart-stopping legacy. 
   
  Escape into this breathtaking tale of two passionate young men who have lived their lives for everyone but themselves. 
   
  Pesha and Fen have shouldered the grief, pain, and fear for the people they love for as long as they can remember. Fen as his sister’s protector and handler, and Pesha as his brother’s trusted right hand. Neither has given thought to their own happiness, because a life of crisis only allows for chaos. Contentment is an affliction neither can afford. 
   
  When Pesha embarks on a desperate, risky journey to a homeland he’s never been to, in a final attempt to save his dying sister, Fen doesn’t hesitate to come along to help the man he’s been slowly falling in love with. But Pesha’s bewildering, escalating hostility on the road leaves him rejected and confused. 
   
  Making matters far worse, their “welcome” to the Territory of Asgill is far from warm. They are both descendants of the Forsaken, a faction who waged a violent uprising against their Medvedev leader almost three decades earlier. Though neither have any knowledge of those days, they’re branded as seditionists and stripped of freedoms. Pesha’s sister is taken away for healing, but if her treatment isn’t successful, the end for her is death. 
   
  To save her, and themselves, they will need to learn to do the impossible: accept they need as much help as they have always offered others. 
   
  Fen and Pesha will either break this chain... 
   
  Or die trying. 
  ___

  A borrowed spaniel, a journalist’s gut instinct, and a vampire trafficking ring. What could possibly go wrong? 
  When I pitched a missing persons story set in a South London suburb, I expected my editor to beg me to bag us a front page exclusive. Instead, she banned me from investigating and threw in a thinly veiled threat on my career. 
  But here’s the thing about being a damn good investigative journalist… sometimes you have to ignore your editor. 
  Armed with my new canine partner, I headed into the woods unsure of what I’d find. What I definitely didn’t expect was a mysterious supernatural woman in stilettos, three overly eager tributes, and the kind of bite that doesn’t come from a mosquito. 
  I'm Elodie Evergreen, and I'm in way over my head, neck-deep in secrets, and on the verge of breaking the biggest story of my career… as long as I can stay out of the obituaries long enough to write it. 
  Perfect for fans of resourceful heroines, cute animal sidekicks, and exhilarating urban fantasy, Bylines and Bloodsuckers delivers action, mystery, and supernatural surprises.
