  Final Victim by Ray Bradbury and Henry Hasse - Hunting a criminal is tough enough, but it's even tougher when it's on a bit of Hell's own rock in the void of space! 
  The space-suited figure scrambled frantically over the edge of the ragged asteroid cliff, and lay panting from the exertion of the long climb upward. The pale face beneath the helmet was drawn in a tight grimace as it stared at the tiny Patrol ship on the plain below. No access to it now! He was trapped. 
  The young man rose to his feet, stared down the steep ravine he had just traversed. He saw the plodding figure of the Patrolman coming up toward him. There was a frightening relentlessness about that figure. He caught a dull glint of metal and knew the Patrolman had drawn his atom-blast. 
  “If only I hadn’t lost my gun, down there!” And then he laughed bitterly, for he knew he never would have used it. He stepped out in plain sight, threw his hands up in the universal gesture of surrender. His mind was awry with bitter thoughts. He had never killed anyone in all his life! But the Patrol thought he had, and that’s what counted now. He was glad it was all over. He would surrender, go back and face trial though the evidence was all against him. 
  Now the Patrolman’s bulging, space-suited figure loomed up before him just ten yards away. He raised his hands still higher to make sure the other saw them.

  In CROWN OF THE MIGHTY, Queen Kyra races to find her children before the forces of darkness can claim them. As she navigates the shattered remains of her once-proud kingdom, her husband Kyle follows a different path, seeking a legendary artifact that might reunite their broken family. Between them stands a realm in ruins, ruled by the merciless Queen Isolde and shadowed by ancient prophecies none fully understand.
  
  Separated from each other for the first time, the twins face their own perilous journeys. Kael, a prisoner of the Shadow Witch, discovers surprising truths about his captor's enigmatic apprentice, while Lyra falls under the influence of a mysterious wizard whose guidance pushes her powers in disturbing new directions. As the twins' abilities evolve in unexpected ways, those who seek to control them begin to wonder: Could the ancient prophecies have been misinterpreted all along? With rebellion stirring among the crystal giants, resistance fighters making their final stand, and dark forces converging from all directions, the scattered family races toward a confrontation that will determine not just their fate, but the future of all kingdoms.

  A highly influential figure in the Church of England, John Henry Newman stunned the Anglican community in 1843, when he left his position as vicar of St. Mary's, Oxford, to join the Roman Catholic church. Perhaps no one took greater offense than Protestant clergyman Charles Kingsley, whose scathing attacks against Newman's faith and honor inspired this brilliant response. Apologia Pro Vita Sua, Newman's spiritual autobiography, explores the depths and nature of Christianity with flowing prose and a conversational style that has ensured its status as a classic.
