Stella Atlantis by Susan Perly Pdf

It's 2016, and there's a new president in the White House. The world is on edge, and celebrated novelist Johnny Coma, survivor of a bomb test in the Nevada desert and the subsequent disintegration of his marriage to photographer Vivienne Pink, must face the one trauma he can no longer put behind him: the death of their young daughter, Stella, in Toronto more than a decade ago. Now united only by their grief, Johnny and Vivienne drift further apart and fall for other people. While Vivienne heads to Amsterdam to cover a terror event, the quixotic Johnny arrives in Barcelona to rewrite the story of his daughter's life and to learn from new friends the healing power of stories and art. Complex, fantastical and stirring, Perly's writing upends simple expectations. In Stella Atlantis, readers find a treacherous world where an ordinary van can become an instrument of mayhem, but can also repay with unexpected gifts; the sea delivers letters to lost souls; and a long-dead daughter returns as an octopus from an underwater world that parallels our own. In the end, we are left to wonder if the dead are truly gone, or whether their ghosts walk among us in many forms.

ReImagination by Toby Weston Pdf

ReImagination: to imagine anew; to form a new conception. The 21st century is reaching middle age. Installations orbit the Earth and synthetic intelligences rule the digital. The Forwards have destroyed the Mesh. The Thalassocracy of New Atlantis lies shattered, reeling from multiple atomic strikes. Might the dreams of better times have been nothing more than naive, figments of wishful thinking? As the BugNet begins to stir, a few believe there may be hope yet... ReImagination is the final book in an epic story arc which hints at possibilities beyond cynical exploitation, gross inequality, and mass manipulation through industrialised persuasive technologies. In this final extravagant, action-packed romp, we find out if Niato, the Nebulous Kin, and the internet of animals can carry this vision of a better world to all Singularity's Children. Technology. Adventure. Hope.

Embertide by Liz Williams Pdf

The Fallow sisters encounter a mystery in the distant past in “another time-slipping and spirit-battling adventure. . . . Entertaining” (SciFi Mind). As the air begins to hint of spring and the Fallow sisters recover from the events of Christmas, things start to feel normal again—but that’s not going to last long. They’ve made dangerous enemies—not all of them human—and soon darkness intrudes once again on their everyday lives in London and Somerset. The approaching birth of Luna’s child puts her in danger of otherworldly attack. Serena’s relationship with film star Ward is going swimmingly, but when she’s pulled back into the past while on location with him in Brighton, she discovers the body of a dead airman. It must be significant—but how? And what in the world is Ward’s ex doing there in the year 1893? “An acute sense of landscape, the stylistic grace needed to make that landscape pop like a Constable painting, and characters congenial enough to draw us in.” —Locus “A delightful series of books.” —SFCrowsnest Includes a preview chapter of the conclusion of the series, Salt on the Midnight Fire

A wealthy man miraculously comes to the rescue—but he may be hiding something. Meanwhile, Bee has met a frightened, green-skinned child in a churchyard and offered her shelter. Is any of this connected to the magpie changeling who claims to be an angel sent to watch over Stella, or the increasingly frequent timeslips a pregnant Luna is experiencing? Something is coming for the Fallow sisters and those they love, but they don’t know what—and the siblings can’t turn to their mother for help since she’s gone wandering again. . . . Rediscover your sense of wonder in this follow-up to Comet Weather that “matches the charm, magic and lyricism of its predecessor” (The Fantasy Hive).

Dark Matter by Cameron Cruise Pdf

There are those among us whose mental capacity is so evolved that they are able to tap into abilities that are beyond this world. Often diagnosed as autistic, these medical marvels have led quiet lives, ignored by science. Until now. One by one, these special "Indigo children" are disappearing and turning up dead. Now a boy handcuffed in a basement awaits his turn while two predators fulfill a mission for a madman. Caring for her own autistic brother, FBI agent Carin Barnes is driven to find the missing boy and hunt down his abductors—psychic twins Adam and Evie. At the command of their father, the pair are collecting children for torturous experiments he believes will lead to the evolution of the human race. But in order to succeed, they need one powerful element…something that Carin and her brother possess…matter that elevates some minds to the highest levels of intelligence—and drags others to the deepest pits of hell.

Disruption by Toby Weston Pdf

Techno-Optimist, Sci-Fi adventure: Disruption is a thrilling ride into a baffling future—satirical, witty, and unexpectedly thought-provoking. Singularity’s Children brings to life a world on the brink. A decade after economic collapse sent governments toppling like dominoes, the corporations are back on top. Intelligent machines do our dirty work, while the unnecessariat underclass suffocates beneath blankets of computer-generated propaganda. Governments and corporations enforce a precarious status-quo, but technology is a contagion that won’t be contained. Beneath the radar, hacker Kin are beginning to scratch away society’s fragile veneer with the rogue tech escaping their Fabs. Disruption picks up where Denial left off, continuing the subversive, fast-paced action: Keith’s flirtation with corporate disobedience leaves him out of options. Without friends or funds, the Forward’s military machine looks like his only choice and ultimate destination. King Niato has begun construction of New Atlantis, an Island utopia, and experiment in pan-species society. It is a beacon for the Kin who are laying the foundations of an alternate reality. When Stella is dragged down into the human filth that underlies this new world order, can a vengeful dolphin, a wounded soldier, and two exiled hackers save her from the darkness? Disruption takes us deeper into an action-packed riot of haves and have-nots; a vivid alternate future filled with Buddhist commandos, stolen Femto-tech, AI Sages, and Quantum Consciousness. It is a thrilling, mind-bending read—a provocative excursion into a near-future civilization struggling to survive the endless maelstroms technology is unleashing. The Singularity’s Children Series: As the Third Millennium dawns, the world is slipping beyond human comprehension. Citizens are bewildered and angry; kept in line only by vast programs of computer-driven propaganda. Leaders are in Denial, clinging to the illusions of an idealised past, unable to move beyond corporate greed and political charade. But an emerging movement of techno-optimists can see post-scarcity utopias glittering on the horizon and have started building a collaborative future for all of Singularity’s Children…

When Jack Was with Us by B. K. Holway Pdf

Urban realism in the tradition of E.L. Doctorow, William Kennedy, Philip Roth and Jimmy Breslin, "When Jack Was With Us" immerses the reader in neighborhood life in New York City from the late 1950's through the late 1960's. Unlike many other novels by Baby Boomers, this novel makes no attempt to sugarcoat or nostaligize; it presents life as the author saw it while growing up, in all its beauty and all its brutality. There is no single protagonist; a number of characters whose lives intertwine each seek to make the best out of their lives amid the rich and often volatile ethnic tapestry of New York, against the backdrop of social change as the novel moves from the somnolent 1950's through the turbulent 1960's. Each character struggles and finds his/her damnation or redemption amid a city that personifies a nation in flux. It is a "coming of age" not only for the characters but for the greater American collective psyche.
