Three Great Authors-Three Great Science Fiction Stories
A Strand In the Web
New York Times Bestselling Fantasy Author Anne Bishop makes her
U.S. debut in Science Fiction with this engaging futuristic
novella. The Restorers travel the universe fulfilling a purpose
handed down through the generations. They live and die aboard
city-ships, never knowing the worlds they create and save. What
begins as a disastrous training exercise in creating and balancing
ecosystems becomes an unexpected fight for survival. The only hope
may be the secret project of an untried Restorer team.
A Host Of Leeches
Award winning author James Alan Gardner pens a wonderfully
imaginative tale in which a young woman wakes to find herself the
sole human on an orbiting, mechanical space station. To find a way
home, she must navigate the dangerous politics of war between
opposing robot leaders.
Stranded
Popular urban fantasy writer Anthony Francis (Dakota Frost,
Skindancer series) explores a clash of ethics and survival when a
young, genetically engineered centauress from the ultra-advanced
Alliance lays claim to a rare, strategic garden planet, only to
find herself captured by a band of rag-tag Frontier refugees who've
crashed their vintage ship on her unexpectedly hostile world.
Monsters are real. But so are heroes. Sparks are champions of weird
science. Boasting capes and costumes and amazing superpowers that
only make sense if you don't think about them too hard, they fight
an eternal battle for truth and justice . .. mostly. Darklings are
creatures of myth and magic: ghosts, vampires, were-beasts, and the
like. Their very presence warps reality. Doors creak at their
approach. Cobwebs gather where they linger. Kim Lam is an ordinary
college student until a freak scientific accident (what else?)
transforms Kim and three housemates into Sparks - and drafts them
into the never ending war between the Light and Dark. They struggle
to master their new abilities - and (of course) to design cool
costumes and come up with great hero names. Turns out that
"accident" was just the first salvo in a Mad Genius's latest
diabolical scheme. Now it's up to four newbie heroes to save the
day, before they even have a chance to figure out what their team's
name should be!
Only days have passed since a freak accident granted four college
students superhuman powers. Now Jools and her friends (who haven't
even picked out a name for their superhero team yet) get caught up
in the hunt for a Mad Genius's misplaced super-weapon. But when
Jools falls in with a modern-day Robin Hood and his band of
super-powered Merry Men, she finds it hard to sort out the Good
Guys from the Bad Guys - and to figure out which side she truly
belong on. Especially since nobody knows exactly what the Gun does.
