Mars is supposed to be dead. Bizarre quakes are rumbling over the long-dormant tectonic plates of the planet, disrupting its trillion-dollar mining operations and driving scientists past the edges of theory and reason. However, when rocks shake off their ancient dust and begin to roll seemingly of their own volition carving canals as they converge to form a towering structure amid the ruddy terrain, Lt. Jain and her JSC team realize that their routine geological survey of a Martian cave system is anything but. The only clues they have stem from the emissions of a mysterious blue radiation, and a 300-year-old journal that is writing itself.

Lieutenant Commander Shaila Jain has been given the assignment of her dreams: The first manned mission to Saturn. But there’s competition and complications when she arrives aboard the survey ship Armstrong. The Chinese are vying for control of the critical moon Titan, and the moon Enceladus may harbor secrets deep under its icy crust. And back on Earth, Project DAEDALUS now seeks to defend against other dimensional incursions. But there are other players interested in opening the door between worlds…and they’re getting impatient.

A car salesman alters matter with a simple touch. A former soldier speaks to the dying and gains their memories as they pass on.

Spend an afternoon antiquing, and it’s not hard to figure out why picking has become one of America’s fondest pastimes. It’s treasure hunting while connecting with history. But what if those treasures hunt us back? From old books, vinyl records, antique mirrors, vintage figurines, and a Bob’s big boy piggy bank, curses have no limits.

From Japanese legends to mafia mermen, from carnival freaks to flying aces, from bayou legends to kraken-like behemoths, these tales explore the darker side of merfolk: desire, envy, love unfulfilled, grace ungranted, and loneliness turned to rage....

El sensual romance entre Nikki Fairchild y Damien Stark, que se inició cuando la joven ingeniera de software aceptó una propuesta insólita del atractivo millonario, se ve ensombrecido por los secretos del pasado ahora que la ardiente relación por fin había desembocado en amor verdadero. El escándalo relacionado con las incógnitas que envuelven la vida de Damien pone a prueba los sentimientos de Nikki y, aunque la joven no está dispuesta a perderlo, se ha abierto una brecha en el apasionado idilio que vive la pareja.

Before his victory at the Nile. Before his scandalous personal life made headlines. Before he crushed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar. Before he died a martyr. Horatio Nelson, England's greatest naval hero, assumed his first command, the 12-gun brig HMS Badger, at the tender age of 20. History tells us his first voyages as captain were unremarkable. Yet in the Known Worlds, where sailing ships ply the Void and the mystic science of alchemy works wonders, Nelson's first command goes quite differently.

In the year 2135, dangerous alien life forms freed in the destruction of Saturn's moon, Enceladus, are making their way toward Earth. A task force spearheaded by Lt. Cmdr. Shaila Jain is scrambling to beat them there while simultaneously trying to save crewmember Stephane Durand, who was infected during the mission to Saturn and is now controlled by a form of life intent on reopening a transdimensional rift and destroying the human race.

La vida de Nikki Fairchild, joven ingeniera de software, da un giro tras conocer a Damien Stark, el hombre que ahora ocupa su cama, su mente y su corazón.

When he finally found them and learned of their malice plot, he was filled with remorse and blamed himself for all they had done.

Engaging Conversations on Bible and Theology

In The Safety of the Kingdom, J. Michael Martinez takes up the question of how the United States government has responded to terrorist attacks and, in the absence of an attack, the fear of foreign and subversive elements that may harm the nation. In some cases the government “overreaction” led to a series of abuses that amplified the severity of the original threat.

Eckxio, an exiled elf, journeys to a mountain in hopes of gaining an ability that all elves are born with.
