  A Dyson Sphere under construction by microbots, but the bots are scavenging one part of the sphere to construct another. And where is the civilization that designed this massive project? 
  "This is cutting edge, hard science fiction at its finest. This broad-minded, far-sweeping saga is both realistic and daring. The reader feels that yes, this is what the universe is like and what man's role in it will come to be." Professor John B. Rosenman, Norfolk State University. 
  Braxton Thorpe, is on a voyage of discovery in the starship Andromeda, headed toward the Cold Spot in the Cosmic Microwave Background, deep in the constellation of Eridanus. As he approaches the Keid triple-star system, he stops at Keid A and the planet Vulcan, home to Spock in the "Star Trek" series. Keid B & C revolve around each other, and both revolve around Keid A. 
  Thorpe discovers Vulcan is under attack by robotic scavengers. He follows them to Keid C, where he discovers a Dyson Sphere under construction by microbots scavenging one part of the sphere to construct another. Andromeda explores the sphere, half the size of a solar system. Suddenly, the starship is attacked by the microbots, who see the starship as raw material. After narrowly escaping, smaller spacecraft travel through the immense sphere, studying it and searching for the builders. He discovers several primitive races inside—humanoid, feline, and reptilian. While studying these races, he discovers hidden electronic uploads stemming from the original builders of the gigantic sphere. 
  As Thorpe begins to assemble a model of the sphere, he learns the Dyson Sphere's star is about to produce a superflare that could destroy all life inside the sphere—and even the Dyson Sphere itself. Can the explorers survive such an event? If so, can they save any of the sapient races, and will they succeed in removing the uploads of the sphere builders?

  Is she doing God's work, or something far more sinister? 
  Safely hidden behind a high fence that shields it from the rest of the world, Kinship Care provides a safe haven for children from City of England. Kinship Care is supported by the Happiness-Program... but there's a catch. To keep the food shipments coming, program director Enyd must provide fraudulent "proof" of the plague ravaging the city--photos of children suffering--to deter those tempted to leave the program. 
  It's been easy enough with a sinner like Ava, the only Unchipped child at Kinship Care, who keeps violating the rules by trying to contact her mother. Surely God would approve of the relatively mild punishments Ava has brought upon herself. 
  But now they want more. More shocking material. More pain. More punishment. More proof to show the good people in the city what it's like for those who defy the program. How far will Enyd go before she says enough? 
  CONTENT WARNING: child abuse. While not a main theme of the book or even described in detail, some readers may want to read the reviews or have a friend check out the book before reading.

  This Train races us through America's heartland, carrying secrets. There is treasure in the cargo car, along with an invisible puppeteer. There is a coder named Nora, a yippy dog named Mugzy, and Ross, a too-curious poet. On board, it's a countdown to murder…
  
  On this train, there is a silver madman, a targeted banker, and crises of conscience. This train harbors the ""perfect"" couple's conspiracies, the chaos of being a teenager, and parenthood alongside the wows of being nine. There is a widow and a wannabe and the sleaziest billionaire.
  
  On this train, there is a suicide ticket, a bomb, sex, love, and loneliness, a heist, revenge, and redemption.
  
  This Train is a ticking clock, roaring through forty-seven fictional hours of nonstop suspense and action, through the challenges of now: racism, sexism, global warming, what it means to be alive.
  
  This train carries all of us. All aboard!
