Jonah of the Jove-Run - One Man...

Ray Bradbury

Jonah of the Jove-Run is a high-tension space adventure from Ray Bradbury, written at the dawn of the Golden Age of science fiction. The colony on Jupiter is starving, and the only ship capable of saving the settlers must make a dangerous run through the asteroid belt. But its radar computers are damaged, its replacement equipment has been destroyed, and the last person anyone wants to trust is an aging, half-forgotten man named Nibley—a once-great navigator with a mind built for orbits, arcs, and impossible calculations… when he’s sober.
Bradbury builds the suspense one rising heartbeat at a time as fear, sabotage, loyalty, and desperation collide in deep space. Is Nibley a washed-up drunk clinging to fading glory, or the only man alive who can guide the ship through a swirling storm of rock and death? And when the moment comes, what price will he pay to prove the universe wrong about him?
Ray Bradbury is one of the most influential voices in 20th-century speculative fiction, known for blending emotional depth with big science-fiction ideas. Before Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury was writing sharp, character-driven stories for pulp magazines—work that revealed the humanity behind the rockets, robots, and alien skies. His early short fiction, including this one, shows the beginning of the poetic, imaginative style that would later define modern sci-fi.
Jonah of the Jove-Run is vintage Bradbury: dramatic, human, and thrilling all the way to its unforgettable final scene.

BB Warfield

Simonetta Carr

B. B. Warfield lived at a time when many people--even those who considered themselves Christians--were questioning the authority of God's Word. For centuries most people in Europe and North America had taken for granted that the Bible was the word of God, but in Warfield's lifetime they were wondering whether it could still be trusted. Warfield was confident that the Bible could be trusted, and as a professor of theology at Princeton Seminary, he devoted his life to teaching and writing about its authority and other important issues of theology. In this biography, Simonetta Carr introduces children to one of America's greatest Reformed theologians whose timeless writings address challenges to the truths of God's Word today.
