She’s back, pimpin’ out notable new releases to place on your radar!
EARTH STRIKE: STAR CARRIER: BOOK ONE by Ian Douglas — There is a milestone in the evolution of every sentient race: a Tech Singularity Event, when the species achieves transcendence through its technological advances. Now the creatures known as humans are near this momentous turning point. But an armed threat is approaching from deepest space, determined to prevent humankind from crossing over that boundary — by total annihilation if necessary. To the Sh’daar, the driving technologies of transcendent change are anathema and must be obliterated from the universe, along with those who would employ them. As their great warships destroy everything in their path en route to the Sol system, the human Confederation government falls into dangerous disarray.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE: FROM ANCIENT BABYLON TO THE BIG BANG by J.P. McEvoy — Since the dawn of time, men have gazed at the stars and attempted to chart the heavens. Beginning at Stonehenge and ending with the current crisis in String Theory, the story of this eternal question to uncover the mysteries of the universe describes a narrative that includes some of the greatest discoveries of all time and leading personalities, including Aristotle, Copernicus and Isaac Newton, and the rise to the modern era of Einstein, Eddington and Hawking.
SHADOWLINE: THE STARFISHERS TRILOGY VOLUME ONE by Glen Cook — The vendetta in space had started centuries before “Mouse” Storm was born with his grandfather’s raid on the planet Prefactlas, the blood bath that freed the human slaves from their Sangaree masters. But one Sangaree survived: the young Norborn heir, the man who swore vengeance on the Storm family and their soldiers, in a carefully mapped plot that would take generations to fulfill. Now Mouse’s father Gneaus must fight for an El Dorado of wealth on the burning half of the planet Blackworld. As the great private armies of all space clash on the narrow Shadowline that divides inferno from life-sheltering shade, Gneaus’ half- brother Michael plays his traitorous games, and a man called Death pulls the deadly strings that threaten to entrap them all.
THE WORLD IS DEAD edited by Kim Paffenroth — The end of the world has come and gone. The dead have risen, and they’ve won. No more rallying of the troops. No miracle cure or weapon. Just lots of dead people walking around. If the living dead won, what would the world be like? This collection of 18 tales — including entries from David Wellington, Jack Ketchum and Gary A. Braunbeck — take up the call to answer that question. People go to work. Have sex. Get drunk. Fall in love. Take revenge. Raise families. Watch TV. Laugh. Mourn. Murder. Pray. The world is dead, but life goes on.
