  Shockwaves of atomic destruction turned 22nd-century America into a hell zone, but in the ruins the human spirit remains unconquerable. Daily survival depends on raw courage and a deadly aim and with his warrior band Ryan Cawdor roams the forbidding new frontier known as Deathlands, determined to unlock its secrets... Emerging from a gateway in the Midwest, Ryan senses trouble within the well-fortified ville of a local baron, whose understanding of pre-Dark medicine may be their one chance to save a wounded Jak. But while his white coats can make the drugs that heal, the baron knows the real power and money is in the hardcore Deathlands jolt. And where drugs and riches go, death shadows every step, no matter which side of a firefight you stand on... In the Deathlands, tomorrow is never just another day.

  Tina had no choice but to escape Aurora Station on board the Starfighter Manila: the ship was about to blow up and would have killed the entire station. 
  But they're in deep trouble. They have less than half the very minimum crew number necessary to fly the ship safely, the engines are damaged and Tina's travel companions are on a different ship. 
  Aurora Station fell into pirate hands, so returning is not an option and the ship isn't safe to fly long distances. 
  On top of that, several crew members may have been exposed to genetic treatment by the pirates and may be turning into violent monstrous creatures. 
  With no outside help forthcoming, survival becomes an intense battle.

  Mars - Stories

  A debut collection of darkly humorous, feminist speculative fiction from the Balkans, “sly, uncommon stories” by “a major talent” (Jeff VanderMeer, award-winning author of Hummingbird Salamander). 
   
  Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power. 
   
  “Bakic’s stories are a dark delight—a treasury of forbidden pleasures, moments of resistance and resilience, and terrifying possibilities.” —Strange Horizons 
   
  “At turns funny, surreal, and grounded in simple language but flung through twisted realities, the stories in this collection are provocative and utterly readable.” —The Brooklyn Rail 
   
  “Skillfully disorienting.” —BUST 
   
  “There’s an immediacy to Bakic’s offbeat worldview, sometimes strange and surreal, sometimes terrifying and upsetting, that pairs perfectly with the madness of the current political moment.” —Locus Magazine 
   
  “Bosnian writer Bakic’s debut teems with the oddball narratives of George Saunders, the eerie atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe, and the feminist intellect of Marge Piercyc. . . Told in a straightforward manner that transports speculative fiction into almost realist territory, Bakic’s collection imaginatively and strikingly examines sci-fi tropes from not only the point of view of women, but also from the voice of an effortlessly gifted writer whose future is much brighter than that of those depicted in her stories.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

  A lost soul. An imposter. A killer. 
  As Queen of the Underworld, Kigal’s life has at last fallen into place. Her worship has spread, she has the respect of the Heavens, and is married to a god she loves—when she finds evidence of an atrocity. 
  When the culprit is identified as the long-dead Anzu, the Hosts of Heaven balk, saying they slew its kind along with the ancient goddess Tiamat—until Kigal discovers treachery deep within their ranks. As she and the gods discover a conspiracy hidden in plain sight, secrets come to light that have remained hidden since the formation of the world. 
  There Kigal is met with a scheme she only began to uncover as a mortal: a plot to kill the gods, and to undo everything she’s fought for. In a conflict that will exact everything from her, that will make her question what she thought she knew about herself and others, Kigal must race against age-old evils before existence itself comes crashing down. 
  Mother of Chaos is the last installment in the Mesopotamian fantasy Queen of Shades series. Experience Kigal’s final journey today.
