Sinopse

A sinister plan ignites not-so-spontaneous combustions in an explosive thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Stillhouse Lake novels.   A prostitute’s client in Dallas. A jogger in El Paso. A pastor in Louisiana. Across the South and Southwest, middle-aged men are bursting into flames.    In the Office of Environmental Hazards, one man is on the case. His initial observations point to something in the drinking water. But intelligence agents suspect something much more ominous: terrorism.    Someone somewhere has come up with a diabolic weapon that could attract millions of dollars from the most dangerous people in the world, those with no conscience, no loyalty, no morality. And two women in Dallas—a sex worker and a thief—find themselves thrust into the middle of a conflagration that could raze everything in its path . . .   Praise for Rachel Caine   “A first-class storyteller who can deal out amazing plot twists as though she was dealing cards.” —Charlaine Harris, New York Times–bestselling author of True Blood

    Watch out Montreal. You're in for a fiery ride. 
     
     
     
    I knew three things about my life before adoption: I was a baby rescued from a blazing house fire, I was found in the arms of a dead man, and no one ever came to claim me. No one. Not ever. 
     
     
     
    Now, as a Montreal detective, I'm dedicated to hunting truths for a living. Unheard voices. Cold cases. Unsolved mysteries. Unearthing secrets hidden in the shadows is my jam. Until the fae veil falls . . .  
     
     
     
    When the world learns magic is real, everything changes. Montreal begins seething with prana energy, dormant genes activate, and seemingly normal humans experience magical awakenings. 
     
     
     
    I have an awakening. 
     
     
     
    Suddenly, everything I've obsessed over about my violent beginnings sucker-punches me in the gut. And what's worse—the murderous factions who hunted me so long ago are back on my scent. 
     
     
     
    Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

    Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean - The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west weren’t settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen — the men who didn’t fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space… 
    Katherine MacLean (1925–2019) was an American science fiction writer known for her innovative and scientifically rigorous storytelling. She was one of the key figures in mid-20th-century science fiction, blending hard science with deep psychological and sociological insights. 
    She was born on January 22, 1925, in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She studied psychology and sociology at Barnard College and later pursued graduate studies in microbiology. Her strong scientific background deeply influenced her fiction, which often explored themes of scientific discovery, the future of human evolution, and the impact of technology on society. 
    MacLean’s first published story, “Defense Mechanism” (1949), appeared in Astounding Science Fiction and was well-received by editor John W. Campbell. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, she became known for her intelligent and thoughtful approach to science fiction, contributing to major pulp and digest magazines. 
    She won the Nebula Award for Best Novella for The Missing Man (1971). 
    In 2003, she was honored as a SFWA Author Emeritus, recognizing her contributions to the genre. 
    Katherine MacLean passed away on September 1, 2019, at the age of 94, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneering and underrated voice in science fiction.
