Publisher's summary
In the high-stakes world of experimental fighter jets, only the elite survive. Lieutenant Peng Keppa is the Alliance's hotshot pilot, tasked with taming the volatile new Skydemon stealth interceptor. But when the jet's deadly prototype claims one of his comrades, Keppa must overcome his doubts to master the Skydemon's cutting-edge systems...or be its next victim.
His skills are pushed to their limits when renegade Coalition stealth drones accidentally target the coastal city of Cape Town. With only an unarmed prototype at his disposal, Keppa must take the fight directly to the unmanned bombers and their elite fighter escorts through sheer audacity. What ensues is a harrowing aerial tour-de-force that will ensure Keppa's place in the history books - if he can survive.
Forged in the crucible of that trial by fire, the Skydemon program is accelerated as the two superpowers careen towards all-out war. And Peng Keppa will take the pinnacle of aircraft design onto the bleeding edge of what's possible, risking everything to defend his homeland and protect his family's future.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,709
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast.

Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
