Brandon Sanderson’s “Sixth of the Dusk,” set in his Cosmere universe shared by the Mistborn books and the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, showcases a society on the brink of technological change. On the deadly island of Patji, where predators can sense the thoughts of their prey, a lone trapper discovers that the island is not the only thing out to kill him. Mary Robinette Kowal’s “A Fire in the Heavens” is a powerful tale of a refugee seeking to the near-mythical homeland her oppressed people left centuries ago.

Dan Wells’s “I.E.Demon” features an Afghanistan field test of a piece of technology that is supposed to handle improvised explosive devices. Or so the engineers have told the EOD team that will be testing it; exactly what it does and how it does it are need-to-know, and the grunts don’t need to know. Until suddenly the need arises. Howard Tayler’s “An Honest Death” stars the security team for the CEO of a biotech firm about to release the cure for old age. When an intruder appears and then vanishes from the CEO’s office, the bodyguards must discover why he is lying to them about his reason for pressing the panic button.

The Shadow and Moon by Kenzie Crowe Pdf

"There's something eerie about the forest late at night, when the moon is your only source of light. Sounds feel intensified-every critter scurrying in the brush makes your heart lurch. I used to think that this would feel freeing, like being in the trees alone would feel as if I were the only person in the world. How naive of me. The forest has eyes lurking in the shadows that only the moon can see." Witches, Shadow Walkers, werewolves, and vampires roam the lands, but Dani's blood holds the cure to a deadly curse that could end a war... Or start a new one. Kol is the land's most dangerous Shadow Walker, but his decisions land him in trouble, and he must find Dani in exchange for his freedom. But when sworn enemies spark romance and the shadows emerge, both Dani and Kol are thrown into lives and worlds they could have never dreamed of.
