A Novel

GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK • A young, ambitious female astronaut’s life is upended by a love affair that threatens the rescue of a lost crew in this brilliantly imagined novel “with echoes of Station Eleven, The Martian, and, yes, Jane Eyre” (Observer). “The female astronaut novel we never knew we needed.”—Entertainment Weekly (Must-read books coming out in March) June is a brilliant but difficult girl with a gift for mechanical invention who leaves home to begin grueling astronaut training at the National Space Program. Younger by two years than her classmates at Peter Reed, the school on campus named for her uncle, she flourishes in her classes but struggles to make friends and find true intellectual peers. Six years later, she has gained a coveted post as an engineer on a space station—and a hard-won sense of belonging—but is haunted by the mystery of Inquiry, a revolutionary spacecraft powered by her beloved late uncle’s fuel cells. The spacecraft went missing when June was twelve years old, and while the rest of the world seems to have forgotten the crew, June alone has evidence that makes her believe they are still alive. She seeks out James, her uncle’s former protégé, also brilliant, also difficult, who has been trying to discover why Inquiry’s fuel cells failed. James and June forge an intense intellectual bond that becomes an electric attraction. But the relationship that develops between them as they work to solve the fuel cell’s fatal flaw threatens to destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to create—and any chance of bringing the Inquiry crew home alive. A propulsive narrative of one woman’s persistence and journey to self-discovery, In the Quick is an exploration of the strengths and limits of human ability in the face of hardship, and the costs of human ingenuity.

The stunning conclusion to the mind-bending series

Shuos Jedao is awake... ...and nothing is as he remembers. He's a teenager, a cadet-a nobody-in the body of an old man; a general in command of an elite force. And he's the most feared, and reviled, man in the galaxy. Jedao carries orders from Hexarch Nirai Kujen to re-conquer the fractured pieces of the hexarchate. But he has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general, and the Kel soldiers under his command hate him for a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted-by an enemy who knows more about Jedao than he does himself...

When the hexarchate's gifted young captain Kel Cheris summoned the ghost of the long-dead General Shuos Jedao to help her put down a rebellion, she didn't reckon on his breaking free of centuries of imprisonment - and possessing her. Even worse, the enemy Hafn are invading, and Jedao takes over General Kel Khiruev's fleet, which was tasked with stopping them. Only one of Khiruev's subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Kel Brezan, seems to be able to resist the influence of the brilliant but psychotic Jedao. Jedao claims to be interested in defending the hexarchate, but can Khiruev or Brezan trust him? For that matter, will the hexarchate's masters wipe out the entire fleet to destroy the rogue general?

Ten Days on Earth

Crashed pilot Henry Johnson wakes up on another planet, many galaxies away, after being saved by an ancient race who needs his help. Henry is given a military starship, an army of drones, and telepathic abilities to police the universe. For all their advanced intelligence, the aliens need Henry for his uniquely human ability to know when to kill for the right reasons. This new world is full of action and adventure, but Henry treasures his memories of Earth. For ten days, every ten years, he is allowed to go to Earth-as long as no one learns his secret. He is there to remember what it means to be human. But on this trip, nothing goes according to plan. Henry finds Earth on the brink of World War III, and he struggles to resist using his superior mental and physical abilities to stop this catastrophe. But then he falls for Anna Summers, a beautiful Hollywood starlet. They spend every one of his limited days together. The two of them must stop a war, fight invaders, and figure out how their love fits into this giant universe. Even in a galaxy a trillion miles away, there's no place like home.

Pern was a beautiful planet earth like enough to feel like home yet un spoiled by the industrial development and interstellar wars that had ravaged the other planets of humankind and a few thousand colonists who came to Pern intended to keep it that way they stayed their claims on the land and settled down to build a low-tech agricultural paradise on the world they had loved at first sight then suddenly disaster struck deadly spores fell like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything, and everyone in their path, fire and water could destroy the thread as the stuff came to be called, but the colonists could not keep up with the relentless attacks very quickly. It became clear that the colonies resources could not support long-term fight against the menace, and the thread was predicted to fall for 50 years. Some other solution would have to be found if the colony was to survive, then some of the colonists noticed that the small dragon like lizards that inhabited their new world were joining the fight against thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only they thought the dragon nets were big enough for a human ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider and so they said their most talented Geneticist to work to create the creatures and so desperately needed dragons !

If they can survive each other they just might survive the Razor...and claim it for their own.
