  As Jacobs becomes more at ease with his nickname, and starts using his abilities to help others, he finds he is still not done with Mallette’s bunch. Or at least what they used to be known as. Lawrence Wiggins, Mallette’s lawyer, is found dead, leading the imprisoned crime boss to getting a new attorney appointed from New York. Only this one comes with caveats.  
  Roger Alexander is not only Mallette’s new lawyer, but he’s also taking over his organization. But in order to completely take over, he needs Mallette, and the rest of his men, eliminated. He calls for a truce with Jacobs, speaking to him at the cemetery, and offers up the rest of Mallette’s men for him on a silver platter. But something isn’t right. Is Alexander really just serving up the rest of Mallette’s men, or is he luring Jacobs into a trap to try and get rid of The Eliminator once and for all?

  The Veldt AKA The World the...

  The Hadley family lives in a fully automated Happylife Home, where machines cook, clean, and even soothe them to sleep. At the heart of the house is the nursery, a vast simulation chamber that turns a child’s thoughts into vivid landscapes—but lately, George and Lydia Hadley have noticed that their children’s minds keep returning to the same unsettling place: the African veldt, complete with lions, heat, and distant screams. 
  As the parents struggle to understand why Wendy and Peter are so fixated on this harsh landscape, the nursery’s realism becomes impossible to dismiss. The veldt is no longer a harmless fantasy but a window into emotions their children refuse to express out loud, forcing the Hadleys to confront how thoroughly they’ve surrendered their roles to the house’s machines. 
  Ray Bradbury—one of the most influential voices in 20th-century science fiction—explores technology, family, and responsibility with powerful clarity. His work blends poetic storytelling with sharp warnings about convenience, automation, and the human cost of giving too much away to machines. 
  Known for Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and dozens of iconic short stories, Bradbury shaped modern speculative fiction. “The Veldt” is an early example of his talent for mixing wonder with tension, showing how imagination, when untended, can reveal more truth than comfort.

  When disappointed hopes collide – Will a wilting mail-order bride muster enough resolve to soften a hardened rancher’s heart? 
  Faith Fairchild is destitute and has no other choice but to comply with her late father’s last wish—to find a husband through a matchmaking service. As a pastor’s daughter, she trusts his advice but believes hard work and commitment combined with a bit of romance will give her the desired goal of “happily ever after.” 
  Her application reads, “I’m at my best when surrounded by others. My ideal husband will live in town. Perhaps a tailor, shopkeeper, or someone running a diner. I am a hard worker, love to cook and sew, and would love the opportunity of working side by side as partners.” 
  Ranch owner Audie Harris has one single goal – to make the family ranch a success and secure it for future generations. He needs a wife who understands that the isolation and hard work of cattle farming are necessary to achieve his goal. With a young sister to raise and numerous ranch hands to feed, his application for a suitable wife reads, “a woman of robust stock, a good cook, and willing to produce a houseful of children.” 
  What does he get? “I asked for a practical woman with ranch experience, and they send me a Southern Belle who has more petticoats than she does sense.” 
  Can this mismatched couple blaze a trail to form a partnership of the romantic kind?
