Sinopsis

Experience The Quantum Vault—a wildly entertaining sci-fi romp where humanity’s fate hinges on alien ultimatums, a sarcastic space trucker named Doug, and a flirtatious, voluptuous mermaid hologram with a penchant for sharp wit, quantum mechanics and cosmic politics. This is not just an exploration of humanity’s place in the universe; it’s a riotous wrestling match with humor, heart, and absurdity.
 
When Luna, the hyper-intelligent hologram, delivers a speech so electrifying it shakes the foundation of galactic politics, chaos erupts across the stars. Her impassioned plea? Humanity must disarm its nuclear arsenal and embrace genetic hybridization with aliens—or face annihilation. Of course, things take a hilarious turn when Doug, her suitor, plants a kiss on her mid-speech. Luna, ever the pragmatist, immediately orders mouthwash and breath mints “strong enough to kill small animals.” The delivery—via a socially awkward seven-foot robot—leads to the public broadcast of Doug’s “health afflictions,” including severe halitosis and an addiction to Space Sponge BLOB Junior reruns. Luna defends Doug, blaming his behavior on a “consciousness ray” from ancient aliens, which conveniently pushed him toward bizarre cravings and impulsive choices.
 
As humanity grapples with alien benefactors who troll Earth’s leaders with passing gas and sex jokes, Doug must navigate a universe teetering on the edge of collapse. The ancient aliens, armed with devastating consciousness technology, threaten Earth with destruction unless humanity surrenders its nukes and adapts to a new era of galactic coexistence. But these aliens, wielding both immense power and absurd humor, aren’t the only danger. Looming in the cosmic shadows is the Void—a sinister entity threatening all existence.
 
Through the power of “the Vault,” an ancient artifact brimming with knowledge, Doug is resurrected as a sentient quantum AI hologram after sacrificing himself to save humanity. In his triumphant return, he bursts into a soaring operatic performance, joined by Luna in a romantic duet backed by an alien comedy duo turned background singers. As Doug adjusts to his new holographic reality (and strives to regain the comedic, albeit inconvenient, when he kissed Luna in front of billions, “bulges” of his past), he and Luna forge an unlikely romantic love story that blends cosmic stakes with heartfelt hilarity.

    “What about the Order?” I hesitated to ask, knowing Amir had painful memories of his own. “I wanted to be free before. Lady Penelope pointed out that this is the opposite of what I wanted. I can’t help but feel she is right.” 
    “Wanting to be free is not a sin in itself,” Amir told me softly. “Only when that is everything and held to the highest priority is it so. We are loyal to the truth, Eleanora, but the truth is complicated, and freedom can be painful.” 
      Prague, 1871  
      Despite the many demands that come with being a member of the Order of the Crystal Daggers, Eleanora Svobodová has plenty of reasons to celebrate. With Lumiere’s capture and Lady Penelope’s reluctant acceptance of Ferdy, not even Ben’s painful ire can completely diminish her joy. 
      But just as the future begins to look bright, the past catches up to Eleanora and the other members of the Order.  
     For as they investigate Karl’s disappearance, Eleanora learns the shocking secret about her mother’s final mission—and Lady Penelope’s treachery—while the Emperor risks his life and heads to Bohemia for a special tripartite council.  
    Can Eleanora and the Order find a way to save the kingdom? And even if they do, will they be able to survive a new betrayal from among their ranks? 
      Full of surprising twists and turns, Heart of Hope and Fear is the final book in The Order of the Crystal Daggers, a historical romance spy trilogy from C. S. Johnson.

    The world didn’t end with fire—it ended with silence. 
    Decades after the Collapse, the cities lie in ruins and the skies hang heavy with ash. Survivors cling to life in scattered enclaves, ruled by councils who trade safety for obedience. Hope is a relic, and the future belongs only to those willing to seize it. 
    For Callen Ward, survival has always meant keeping his head down. But when he uncovers a forbidden archive that speaks of a world before the Collapse—and a chance to rebuild what was lost—he finds himself hunted by those who would rather bury the truth forever. 
    With a small band of outcasts at his side, Callen must journey through a landscape of broken highways, poisoned rivers, and ruthless warlords to deliver a message that could ignite rebellion… or plunge what remains of humanity into final ruin. 
    Ashes of Tomorrow is a haunting dystopian thriller about survival, sacrifice, and the thin line between salvation and destruction.

    If you had to choose which memories to keep, who would you become? 
    Sam has a problem. In a world where all of your memories can be digitally augmented and recorded for later viewing and sharing, Sam's are eroding fast due to malfunctioning equipment. Unfortunately for Sam, that particular bit of equipment is installed in his brain, and a simple malfunction can lead to a decidedly less than simple cerebral hemorrhage, coma, and even death. Sam's only hope to prevent losing everything is a pithy computer program, a piece of technology known as The Goldfish. 
    ◆ ◆ ◆ 
    "The Goldfish is a grounded, touching, tranche-de-vie, wrapped in a seventies-style, high-concept sci-fi blanket. Dunlap manages to draw the reader into an unbelievable world by crafting a completely believable drama focusing on a protagonist that's instantly relatable--a smart man, troubled, but still striving to do right by the people in his life. Stanislaw Lem would be proud, and Ryan Dunlap should be too."
