The conclusion of the mind-blowing intergalactic Unstoppable
series, the sequel to the Locus Award-winning Victories Greater
Than Death and Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak, from the
international-bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky.
THEY'RE THE GALAXY'S MOST WANTED - AND OUR ONLY HOPE When Elza
became a space princess, she thought she'd be spending her time at
the palace, wearing gorgeous couture and soaking up everything
there is to know - but instead, she's on the run, with everyone
hunting for her and her friends. Rachael followed her best friend
Tina on the adventure of a lifetime - but now Tina's gone, and
Rachael's the only one keeping her friends together, as they go on
a desperate quest to save everyone from an ancient curse. Rachael,
Elza and their friends have found one clue, one shining mysterious
chance to stop the end of the world. And that takes them back to
the second-to-last place they'd want to be: enlisting the aid of
Captain Thaoh Argentian, the woman who stole Tina's body (and who
now seems to be relishing a second chance at teenage chaos and
drama, instead of living up to her legacy of an intrepid heroic
commander). With only a ragtag band of misfits, crewmates,
earthlings, friends, lovers (and one annoying frenemy), the
Unstoppable Crew are up against the universe--and they soon find
that in order to survive, they may have to cross a line they vowed
never to cross.

Charlie Jane Anders, the nationally bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky delivers a brilliant new novel set in a hauntingly strange future with #10 LA Times bestseller The City in the Middle of the Night.
"If you control our sleep, then you can own our dreams... And from there, it's easy to control our entire lives."
January is a dying planet—divided between a permanently frozen darkness on one side, and blazing endless sunshine on the other. Humanity clings to life, spread across two archaic cities built in the sliver of habitable dusk.
But life inside the cities is just as dangerous as the uninhabitable wastelands outside.
Sophie, a student and reluctant revolutionary, is supposed to be dead after being exiled into the night. Saved only by forming an unusual bond with the enigmatic beasts who roam the ice, Sophie vows to stay hidden from the world, hoping she can heal.
But fate has other plans—and Sophie's ensuing odyssey and the ragtag family she finds will change the entire world.

wanted to see again. Tina Mains is studying at the Royal Space
Academy with her friends, preparing to save the universe - and
she's not the badass space hero everyone was expecting. These three
young women are thrust into the hands of destiny, journeying into

choices that could change all their lives forever. With the fate of
the galaxy hanging in the balance, they must discover their
strength, whatever form it takes.

Twenty curses, old and new, from bestselling fantasy authors such as Neil Gaiman, Christina Henry, M.R. Carey and Charlie Jane Anders.
ALL THE BETTER TO READ YOU WITH
It's a prick of blood, the bite of an apple, the evil eye, a wedding ring or a pair of red shoes. Curses come in all shapes and sizes, and they can happen to anyone, not just those of us with unpopular stepparents...
Here you'll find unique twists on curses, from fairy tale classics to brand-new hexes of the modern world - expect new monsters and mythologies as well as twists on well-loved fables. Stories to shock and stories of warning, stories of monsters and stories of magic.
Buckle up for vibrant and thrilling intergalactic adventures in
this Locus Award-winning YA science fiction from the multiple
award-winning author of All the Birds in the Sky and The City in
the Middle of the Night. Tina never worries about being
'ordinary'--she doesn't have to, since she's known practically
forever that she's not just Tina Mains, average teenager and
beloved daughter. She's also the keeper of an interplanetary rescue
beacon, and one day soon, it's going to activate, and then her
dreams of saving all the worlds and adventuring among the stars
will finally be possible. Tina's legacy, after all, is
intergalactic--she is the hidden clone of a famed alien hero, left
on Earth disguised as a human to give the universe another chance
to defeat a terrible evil. But when the beacon activates, it turns
out that Tina's destiny isn't quite what she expected. Things are
far more dangerous than she ever assumed--and everyone in the
galaxy is expecting her to actually be the brilliant tactician and
legendary savior Captain Thaoh Argentian, but Tina....is just Tina.
And the Royal Fleet is losing the war, badly--the starship that
found her is on the run and they barely manage to escape Earth with
the planet still intact. Luckily, Tina is surrounded by a crew she
can trust, and her best friend Rachel, and she is still determined
to save all the worlds. But first she'll have to save herself.
Buckle up your seatbelt for this thrilling YA sci-fi adventure set
against an intergalactic war from internationally bestselling
author Charlie Jane Anders.

"If you control our sleep, then you can own our dreams... And from
there, it's easy to control our entire lives." From the brilliant
mind of Charlie Jane Anders ("A master absurdist"-New York Times;
"Virtuoso"-NPR) comes a new novel of Kafkaesque futurism. Set on a
planet that has fully definitive, never-changing zones of day and
night, with ensuing extreme climates of endless, frigid darkness
and blinding, relentless light, humankind has somehow continued
apace-though the perils outside the built cities are rife with
danger as much as the streets below. But in a world where time
means only what the ruling government proclaims, and the levels of
light available are artificially imposed to great consequence, lost
souls and disappeared bodies are shadow-bound and savage, and as
common as grains of sand. And one such pariah, sacrificed to the
night, but borne up by time and a mysterious bond with an enigmatic
beast, will rise to take on the entire planet--before it can
crumble beneath the weight of human existence.

science fiction. When we encounter something on a truly staggering

fear at something that is grand, sublime, and extremely powerful.

builder, as engineer, as adventurer, reimagining and rebuilding the
world, the solar system, the galaxy and possibly the entire
universe in some of the best science fiction stories you will
