Packed with Larry Niven and Steven Barnes's trademark excitement and science-based extrapolation, this thrilling novel introduces readers to Ice Vegas, an extraordinary city of the future powered by nuclear fusion.

Carver Reeves is head of security for BALDR, the massive nuclear facility that powers half of Europe, and by extension Ice Vegas, the glittering architectural fantasia of a domed city that has grown up beside it. But before he can peacefully retire, saboteurs infiltrate BALDR, determined to cripple the power plant, destroy the city, and kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Carver's only hope: Spider.

The world's deadliest assassin, Spider is Ice Vegas's only hope for survival. She must catch the latest scion of a power-hungry Waldemer family, who for generations have been determined to control Earth. Between recounting Spider's previous missions around the globe, where she's encountered the Waldemers' schemes, the present-day mission to thwart the tyrannical fiends once and for all proves so dangerous it may spell the end for Spider and the city she's come to call home.

I already had a life. A future. A man I'd promised forever to.

But the night I found Chase Rhodes--bleeding, broken, and more lost than I was--everything changed.

I wasn't supposed to let him in. Wasn't supposed to write music with him in secret beneath the moon.

What started as a quiet escape became something unstoppable. Our songs caught fire, and now the whole world knows our names.

Music has a way of pulling the broken together, even when the timing is impossible and the fallout inevitable.

But some hearts don't settle. Some songs were never meant to stay quiet.

Because the night I saved him was only the beginning.

And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes a new angsty, standalone contemporary romance.

The Victor.

She never would have bowed.

Dante can't help but think the words. Even as he stands in the city of gods, surrounded by faces of legend, he can't stop seeing her falling through that endless void, mentally shouting that one word up at him so viciously he knows it's forever branded upon his soul.

Betrayal.

The Fallen.

Where am I?

After falling for what seems like forever, Adrian finds herself in an entirely new world. A world of darkness which calls to something unnamed inside her. With every truth revealed, every injustice bared, it hums ever louder, buzzing through her veins and begging to be released. Setting her fear aside, Adrian tastes it for the first time.

Power.

Once upon a time I was a girl who believed in love and happily ever afters.

Now the only thing I believe in is revenge. Unfortunately for me, there's only one man willing to help me. Hook. I should have known it wouldn't be out of the goodness of his heart. He doesn't have one.

No, Hook wants his ring on my finger and me on my knees before him--and he won't take no for an answer. I'm willing to pay any price in order to bring our mutual enemy down...even if it means I lose my soul in the bargain.

"Not just a gripping mystery, The Yellow-Tail Moth weaves wonder from the smallest wings. A gem of a book, one that leaves you breathless..." -- Stephen May, Author of Sell Us the Rope

A riveting, literary mystery about two women, their hidden secrets, their friendship and the power of nature to heal

Accusations levelled against her husband force Lily to flee her pristine London home. She hides away in a rundown cottage near a small rural town. She is deeply unhappy. She hates the countryside, the dirt, the smells and the creepy woodland next to the cottage.

Desperately lonely, Lily tries to befriend her neighbour Kathy, a naturalist and recluse who the locals think is unhinged. Resistant at first, Kathy gradually mellows as Lily starts to share her interest in nature. A surprising connection develops between the two women.

Then a young teenager from the town goes missing and all fingers point at Kathy. Tensions escalate rapidly.

Lily defends Kathy against the locals but when disturbing accusations are made about Kathy's past, Lily is determined to uncover the truth.

After an accident erases years of his memory, a man returns to his family's ranch in hopes of piecing back together the life and love he thought he had lost forever.

He's forgotten their love story. She'll help him write a new one.

Jackson and Kate have been happily married for over ten years and live a beautifully chaotic life raising two young children on Wells Ranch. But when Jackson sustains a severe head injury that sends him into a coma, years of his memory are gone by the time he wakes. Doctors are confident they will return with time, but Jackson feels like a stranger in his own life. How can he have a wife and children but not know them?

Kate tries to remain strong for her family, but she secretly mourns the loss of the man she knew and fears he may never return. She leans on her Wells Ranch family, who she needs now more than ever. It's scary and difficult, but she won't give up on Jackson and their love, no matter how long it takes.

Despite early struggles, Kate and Jackson share tender moments that stir something in Jackson, even though he doesn't fully understand it. As more time passes, bits and pieces of Jackson's memories return, and he starts slowly rediscovering his instincts as a husband and dad. And though Jackson and Kate's love story may need a rewrite, they'll come to discover this new chapter might just be stronger than all the ones that came before.

Temor y Temblor de Søren Kierkegaard examina la compleja relación entre fe, ética y compromiso personal a través de la historia bíblica de Abraham e Isaac. La obra invita a reflexionar sobre la obediencia a lo divino, la angustia existencial y los dilemas morales que surgen al enfrentar lo absoluto.

Kierkegaard combina filosofía, teología y narrativa reflexiva para explorar la tensión entre la razón y la fe, mostrando cómo el individuo se enfrenta a decisiones que desafían la lógica y la ética convencional. Su estilo profundo y provocador obliga al lector a cuestionar sus propias creencias y la naturaleza de la devoción auténtica.

Más que un tratado filosófico, Temor y Temblor es una invitación a la introspección y al crecimiento espiritual. Quienes buscan comprensión sobre la fe, el compromiso ético y la reflexión existencial encontrarán en este clásico una obra que desafía, inspira y transforma la manera de pensar.
