  Fleeting Death: Space Pirates is a dark, hard science fiction space adventure following a band of space pirates known as "the Marauders". Hundreds of people go missing in the remote, treacherous region of space they inhabit. On one side is a corrupt, state-corporate society, and on the other is all the fearsome things which lurk in the outer darkness. Yearning for relaxation, they instead find themselves regularly tested from their technical skills to their logic. 
  It is the year 2527. 
  Space mining has finally been achieved. The resources then brought us space construction, free of the expenses of launches. Humanity became able to build large structures in space. What came next was an extremely costly and unreliable method of warp travel, allowing humanity to quickly visit other star systems. The sheltered Earthlings of their techno-monoculture found themselves standing at the shore of a boundless frontier, the final frontier. 
  Humans and machines fight in a futile battle of survival in this inhospitable existence. Just to live on par with humans of the past, a spaceman requires a vast wealth and knowledge. Centuries ago, they would each be millionaires. Now, they are lucky to be indentured slaves to ruthless quintillionaires, who regard them as “parasites”. Even the brightest minds are expendable, with millions of others always waiting to take their place. 
  “The Sargasso”, also known as “Sector X2”, is a large cluster of star systems located on the very fringe of human settlement and 90 light-years from Earth. This sector has been hotly contested since the discovery of its once inhabitable world, Kragnul. Considered to be one of the worst sectors, the Sargasso is home to many criminals, black ops teams, madmen and anomalies. 
  Here, the space pirates known as “the Sargasso Marauders", are just trying to stay sane and survive.

  Rat Race by George O. Smith - The idea was to build an electronic gadget; that it turned out to be a rat trap was purely accidental. And that it turned out to have the highly undesirable effects it had... 
  "You're nuts," came the reply, but the voice on the telephone was jovially reproving rather than sarcastic. "I can't do anything about this order." 
  Peter Manton blinked. "But it has a Four-A-One priority." 
  Brannon nodded—invisibly, of course—and said, "Sure you have a top priority. Anything your lab wants has top. But darn it, Peter, the best priority in the world isn't going to buy you a dozen mousetraps that are nonexistent." 
  "But—" 
  "Besides which, that building you're in is about as rat-proof as a sealed gasoline can. There isn't an item of comestible in the place." 
  "I know that. And the mice can go hungry for all I care. But the mice don't seem to understand that bringing food into the place is not only forbidden by law but dangerous." 
  "But there ain't a mousetrap in the country. Ding bust it, Peter, mousetraps take spring wire, and labor. The people who used to make mousetraps are now making bombsights and tanks. Besides, Peter, over at that laboratory of yours there should be enough brains and gear to really build the Better Mousetrap. If you can spot a plane at fifty miles, split atoms, and fire radio equipment out of a cannon, you ought to be able to dispose of a mouse or two." 
  Peter grinned. "You mean spot 'em with radar, and then shoot 'em down in flames with proximity fuses loaded with plutonium war heads? That might be a little strenuous, don't you think? Like cutting the throat to stop the spread of impetigo."

  Captain Carter Riley's last stand on Mars was meant to be his end. Instead, it sparked a new beginning. In the 22nd century, Riley's life is upended by an alien attack that leaves him with a missing arm, a wiped memory, and a cryptic message imprinted on his subconscious. A decade of loss and desperation later, the unraveling of this message catapults him to Sidus—a galactic station where the universe's eclectic denizens trade, compete, and vie for power.

Betrayed by his species, his family dissolved, Carter Riley is the quintessential underdog turned unwilling pioneer.

Carter has the power to level humanity up by deciphering the legacy of an ancient civilization. Each level is more complex than the next and his very own life it's at risk, so will he want to go on for a race that betrayed him? 
   
   
   
  The stakes couldn't be higher: decipher the past or be doomed to repeat it. Prepare for a journey where the line between player and legend blurs, in a universe where making contact has consequences beyond imagination.

  Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife. 
  For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he’s beginning to crave a challenge. 
  Something big. 
  Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts. 
  But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium. 
  A Perfect dark comedy for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Jim Butcher . 
  ‘A superb sequel!’  
  ‘… a Pratchett-like quality to the humor, peppered with engaging facts, and a very interesting premise.’  
  ‘Clever, original and hilarious.’  
  ‘Absolutely a standout work!’
