    Abstract

    When it comes to speaking to strangers, Jamie's a choke artist. There's no way he'd ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes, until he meets Maya. Maya Rehman's having the worst Ramadan ever. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing, with some awkward dude she hardly knows, is beyond her. Going door to door isn't exactly glamorous, but the polls are getting closer, and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely.

    Abstract

    In the present, Other Neferet has far from given up her goal of immortality and world domination. As she operates in secret, the new High Priestess, Anastasia Lankford, works toward gaining peace for the Other World vampyres. But just as Other Kevin's broken heart will take time to heal, peace will also take time and work, and not all of the Other World vampyres want peace. Why should they return to being shunned by humans, especially when they've had a taste of power?

  • The sirens of Titan

    Creator

    Vonnegut, Kurt

    Abstract

    The Sirens of Titan (1959), Vonnegut's second novel, was on the Hugo final ballot along with Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers and lost in what Harlan Ellison called a monumental injustice. Malachi Constant is a feckless but ultimately good-hearted millionaire who, in this incondensable interplanetary Candide (lacking perhaps Voltaire's utter bitterness), searches the solar system for the ultimate meaning of existence.

  • The fountains of paradise

    Creator

    Clarke, Arthur C.

    Abstract

    A Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novel from the legendary “colossus of science fiction” and creator of 2001: A Space Odyssey (The New Yorker).

    Renowned structural engineer Dr. Vannevar Morgan seeks to link Earth to the stars by constructing a space elevator that will connect to an orbiting satellite 22,300 miles from the planet’s surface. The elevator would lift interstellar spaceships into orbit without the need of rockets to blast through the Earth’s atmosphere—making space travel easier and more cost-effective.

  • Hench : Hench, book 1

    Creator

    Walschots, Natalie Zina

    Abstract

    "This book is fast, furious, compelling, and angry as hell." - Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author The Boys meets My Year of Rest and Relaxation in this smart, imaginative, and evocative novel of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, told with razor-sharp wit and affection, in which a young woman discovers the greatest superpower - for good or ill - is a properly executed spreadsheet. Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn't glamorous.
