But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her.

Sunborn


Book Description

"John Bandicut deserves a rest. Rescuing Earth from a wayward comet wasn't accomplishment enough, and neither was saving two other worlds from imminent disaster. Exiled from his homeworld and traveling with an eclectic group of aliens - including a quarx in his head - he has been plucked from one mission to another, and from one end of the galaxy to another, and he and his companions are tired." "Would it be too much to ask, when they arrive at an interstellar waystation, that they receive a little RR, and maybe even some answers? Apparently so. Hyperspatial gravity waves shake the station repeatedly, and they're getting stronger. These shock waves merely hint at the trouble brewing in the nearby Starmaker Nebula, better known to Bandicut as the Great Orion Nebula. What's the cause of the disturbance? No one knows. The company's task is to find out - not just because their RR center is threatened with destruction, but because sentient stars in the nebula are dying. And the danger could ripple out over thousands of light-years, threatening uncounted worlds - including Earth." "Aboard a ship called The Long View, Bandicut and his band of exiles journey not just into the perils of a star-forming nebula, but into a confrontation with the Mindaru, a billion-year-old adversary of life as they know it. Whatever chance they have of stopping the terrifying Mindaru may be found only in the fiery heart of an intelligent sun."--BOOK JACKET.

But an expedition to a nearby lake turns up a little nixie with a giant problem—the huge, lumbering, fire-breathing variety—and it’s up to Nick; his stepsister, Laurie; and his big brother, Julian to figure out the best way to stop a host of rampaging giants before all of Florida goes up in smoke.




Finder


Book Description

From Hugo Award-winning debut author Suzanne Palmer comes an action-packed sci-fi caper starring Fergus Ferguson, interstellar repo man and professional finder Fergus Ferguson has been called a lot of names: thief, con artist, repo man. He prefers the term finder. His latest job should be simple. Find the spacecraft Venetia's Sword and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss. He’ll slip in, decode the ship’s compromised AI security, and get out of town, Sword in hand. Fergus locates both Gilger and the ship in the farthest corner of human-inhabited space, a backwater deep space colony called Cernee. But Fergus’ arrival at the colony is anything but simple. A cable car explosion launches Cernee into civil war, and Fergus must ally with Gilger’s enemies to navigate a field of space mines and a small army of hostile mercenaries. What was supposed to be a routine job evolves into negotiating a power struggle between factions. Even worse, Fergus has become increasingly—and inconveniently—invested in the lives of the locals. It doesn’t help that a dangerous alien species Fergus thought mythical prove unsettlingly real, and their ominous triangle ships keep following him around. Foolhardy. Eccentric. Reckless. Whatever he’s called, Fergus will need all the help he can get to take back the Sword and maybe save Cernee from destruction in the process.
