Across the Great Rift by Scott Washburn Pdf

A science fiction novel set in the far future. The new empires, which have arisen from the rubble of a devastating war, are looking with greedy eyes across the Great Rift to the untouched stars which lie there. Great riches and power will come to those who can control them. Engineer Charles Crawford has been dispatched with Terraformer Regina Nassau and a bold expedition on a ten-year voyage to establish a colony and transport gate on the far side of the Rift. But a rival power is determined to hijack the attempt and has secreted an agent in the expedition to disrupt it with sabotage and murder. With the political and military personnel dead, the task of carrying on falls to the engineers and technicians. Crawford and Nassau must mold the survivors into a force capable of resisting an enemy attack while continuing their primary task of establishing the colony and building the all-important transport gate. Their task is further complicated by the fact that the far side of the Rift is not as uninhabited as it was supposed to be. Refugees from the earlier, destroyed civilization have already made a home here and they look upon the newcomers with decidedly mixed emotions. Crawford and Nassau must try to win the trust of the natives if they are to have any hope against the coming enemy attack.

The Lady and the Tiger by Jody Lynn Nye Pdf

From a New York Times–bestselling author, a doctor travels to a colony planet with her animal assistants and stumbles upon a criminal conspiracy. Dr. Shona Taylor takes on a new assignment on a new space colony, and discovers a chilling reality behind a picture perfect planet . . . What price for paradise? Jardindor is, by most estimates, a new Eden: from the number of trees to the exact spacing of every lamppost and garden, the alien planet is perfection, a totally controlled terraformed world on the outreaches of colonized space. When Dr. Shona Taylor receives her posting as physician to the settlers on Jardindor, she packs up her family—children and medical menagerie, as well as Chirwl, the alien ottle—expecting a very serene six months. But the people of Jardindor are guarding more than their perfect world. They’re hiding a dark secret, and as Shona learns more about her new hosts and their strange fascination with animals, her new job turns into a nightmare.

Fallout: Scions of the Star Empire #2 by Athena Grayson Pdf

A good deed is a hard sell when you're a bad girl. Among Landfall's elite, reputation runs everything--even the economy. Princess Ione has cashed in on playing the party girl for most of her life, but not even an imperial princess can escape the fallout of one too many scandals. Her efforts to repair her reputation have tanked, but she gets one last chance to make good, by planning a charity function for an embattled colony world. If she's going to go from party princess to people's princess, she's going to need all the friends she can get, including the man who could have been her prince, but can now only be her secret. For Den Hades, his rising star comes with a dangerous tail. His father's rage has only grown since Den's one act of defiance ruined his House's chances of alliance with the Imperial House--and kept him away from the princess who captured his heart. Den's rising Social Capital edges him closer to achieving Scionhood and freedom, but his father's influence peels more of Den's friends away. As his friends buckle under pressure from their own Houses to choose sides, his only chance is to find allies among his enemies and keep his secrets closer than ever--including his secret relationship with Ione. It's not the fall that'll kill you...It's the sudden stop at the end.
