System Collapse
Martha Wells
Am I making it worse? I think I’m making it worse. Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back. Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there’s an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can’t have the planet, they’re sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize. But there’s something wrong with Murderbot; it isn’t running within normal operational parameters. ART’s crew and the humans from Preservation are doing everything they can to protect the colonists, but with Barish-Estranza’s SecUnit–heavy persuasion teams, they’re going to have to hope Murderbot figures out what’s wrong with itself, and fast.

Daughters of Chaos
Jen Fawkes
AN EPIC NOVEL ABOUT CIVIL WAR–ERA NASHVILLE’S “PUBLIC WOMEN,” AN AGE-OLD SECRET SOCETY, AND THE EARTH-SHAKING POWER OF THE FEMALE In 1862, after a tragedy at home, twenty-two-year-old Sylvie Swift parts ways with her twin brother to trace the origins of an enigmatic playscript that’s landed on their doorstep. This text leads her to Nashville, an occupied city bustling with soldiers, saboteurs, partisans, powerful men—and powerful women. Sylvie translates the playscript by day, but at night, drawn into the work by the chief of the Union Army’s Secret Service, she acts as a spy. Both endeavors acquaint her with a sisterhood whose members—including Hannah, a fiery revolutionary to whom Sylvie is increasingly drawn—possess potentially monstrous powers. Sylvie soon becomes entangled in the Cult of Chaos, a feminist society steadfast in its ancient mission to eradicate the violence of men. Inspired by Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and the true story of Nashville’s attempt to exile its prostitutes during the American Civil War, Daughters of Chaos weaves together “found” texts, fabulism, and queer themes to question familiar notions of history and family, warfare and power. “A dazzling synthesis of history, myth, and sheer invention. Fawkes is a bold, wild, funny writer, unafraid of taking risks. I’m eager to see what she does next.”—Charles Yu, National Book Award–winning author of Interior Chinatown

It’s just one command between life and death, and somehow the ship’s janitor has found herself at the helm of a universe-wide conspiracy plot.

Thanatos (Guardians of Hades...
Felicity Heaton
Thanatos, god of death, has a mission: scour the unknown realms of the Underworld and retrieve the only daughter of his god-king, Hades. Murdered six centuries ago with her soul captured before it could pass on, she now falls under Thanatos’ domain. Armed with only a description of the location of her prison seen in a vision by her oldest brother, Thanatos has spent four years hunting for her, determined to complete his task and save her. But when he locates Calindria, she’s not the delicate little girl he remembers—she’s a fierce, bewitching, and beautiful warrioress who stirs unwanted feelings in his black heart, and she’s on a mission of her own. Calindria, daughter of Hades, has a mission: escape her prison, hunt down the ones who murdered her twin brother, and then make her family pay for abandoning her. But the Fates have other plans, placing a distractingly gorgeous god of death in her path—a warrior who is determined to convince her that what she believed is the truth is in fact a lie. In a realm that turns memories against them and where anything can be an illusion, can Calindria and Thanatos learn to trust each other enough to work together to escape the hellish domain, or will the darkest moments of their past prove too powerful to overcome?

The Skull - The Price of Erasing...
Philip K. Dick
Conger is a hunter, a smuggler, and a convicted criminal with nothing left to lose—until a powerful council offers him a way out. His task is unprecedented: travel back in time and eliminate the founder of a movement that reshaped civilization, before the man ever speaks his first words. The only clue he’s given is a skull, two centuries old, carried with him as proof. As Conger moves through a suspicious mid-twentieth-century town, tracking a man who does not yet know his own importance, the mission grows increasingly uncertain. Philip K. Dick layers time travel, social paranoia, and moral tension into a story that questions authority, sacrifice, and whether history can—or should—be changed. Philip K. Dick is one of the most influential voices in classic science fiction, known for exploring identity, power, and distorted realities. His work frequently examines how individuals are shaped—and manipulated—by institutions that claim to act for the greater good. Stories like The Skull showcase Dick’s early mastery of philosophical science fiction, where speculative concepts are inseparable from human consequence. His ideas continue to influence modern literature, film, and television decades after their publication.
