  Braxton Thorpe has discovered a threat to the entire Solar System, but he has a problem: he's dead. 
    "There's interstellar travel, wormholes, aliens, and the threat of inter-planetary war, which, together with Braxton's personal and wider quest, adds up to one hell of an adventure. Not bad for a dead man!" —Sebastian J. Brook, Editor of Doctor Who Online  
  Frozen at death, Thorpe awakens to find himself uploaded into an electronic matrix. Exploring beyond the matrix and the larger GlobalNet, he discovers the Oort, a distributed electronic entity older than humanity, with an unnerving secret: aliens wiped out nearly all life on Earth once, and are coming back to do it again. 
  The mathematical entity that is Thorpe has to find a way to convince humans of the threat, and in time to do something about it. But how, and what? 
  If you've read Niven's A World Out of Time or Taylor's We Are Legion, the opening of Icicle will only "seem" familiar. Buckle up for a wild ride—you ain't seen nothin' yet!

  The Meteor Girl - A Meteor Opens...

  The Meteor Girl is an early science fiction story by Jack Williamson, first published in 1931. It follows a young telegraph operator whose ordinary night shift is disrupted when a meteor crashes nearby — bringing with it something far stranger than stone. The encounter pulls him into a mystery that blends young love, cosmic possibility, and the unknown forces that move between worlds. Williamson uses simple, direct prose to create a sense of widening wonder as the familiar gives way to the extraordinary. 
  The story reflects the optimism and curiosity of early pulp-era SF. Rather than grim speculation, it leans toward discovery — the idea that the universe is full of secrets waiting to be stumbled over by unsuspecting people with open eyes. Like many early Williamson pieces, it treats science not as abstraction but as an adventure through which ordinary lives are suddenly changed. 
  Jack Williamson (1908–2006) was one of the longest-lived and most respected voices of American science fiction. Raised in rural New Mexico, he began selling stories to the pulps as a teenager and remained active well into the 21st century — his career spanning from the age of airships to the age of the internet. Williamson wrote across styles and decades, from space opera to thoughtful sociological SF, producing works like The Legion of Space, Darker Than You Think, and later the Hugo and Nebula-winning Terraforming Earth. 
  He bridged generations of the genre, studying it formally and teaching it at Eastern New Mexico University while still publishing fiction. Williamson’s work helped move science fiction from pulp entertainment to a literature of ideas, and The Meteor Girl stands as an early glimpse of the imagination that would make him a pillar of the field.

  "A story of fire, fate, and the fierce bonds forged in humanity's darkest hour..." 
  One morning, people simply started burning. No warning. No mercy. They called it SHC—Spontaneous Human Combustion—and it turned cities into graveyards overnight. 
  In the scorched remnants of Colorado, two women fight to stay alive in this devastating post-apocalyptic world. Rory carries the crushing guilt of her mother’s death; Dante still hears the haunting echoes of her father’s final scream. Scarred by unimaginable tragedy yet bound together by the desperate will to survive, they find each other in the ashes—and something rare and beautiful sparks between them. 
  But in a world where deadly fire can erupt from within any human body at any moment, and humanity has turned savage in its struggle for survival, love may be the most dangerous and powerful force of all. Together, Rory and Dante must fight crushing starvation, violent survivors, and the constant, terrifying fear that the same fatal combustion could claim them at any moment. 
  This haunting dystopian romance audiobook comes to life through the powerful, emotional performances of talented narrators Tara Sandoval and Avery Sandoval. Their vivid, compelling narration perfectly captures both the raw terror of this apocalyptic nightmare and the fragile tenderness of a love struggling to survive in a world that incinerates everything it touches. 
  Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic romance, LGBTQ+ dystopian fiction, and survival horror with heart.

  An artifact that was never meant to be found. 
   
   
   
  Robots are building a colossal telescope on the far side of the moon, with just two people supervising its completion. After a minor incident, these scientists become aware of an obstacle in the lunar soil. It's located outside the area reserved for the hypertelescope and is therefore none of their business. 
   
   
   
  But their curiosity gets the better of them. The artifact seems to have properties that completely defy physics as they know it. As they investigate, they inadvertently plunge themselves, then the entire solar system, into a terrible, unavoidable whirlwind of events. 
   
   
   
  Will they manage to make the mysterious black monolith harmless before we all run out of time?
