The war for Earth is just the warm-up. The Xortaag armada has never lost a war. That streak is still intact… mostly because no one has ever been stupid enough to fight them across time, space, and multiple versions of reality. Now their ships are hanging over Earth like a bad ending no one asked for, and humanity’s last line of defense is four people who should absolutely, under no circumstances, be responsible for saving the world: A movie-quoting pilot with a death wish and no off switch. A stuntwoman who treats lethal danger like a recreational activity. A silent assassin whose ...

The discovery of an ancient alien pyramid buried under the ice in Antarctica changes Earth forever. We learn that we are the forgotten slaves of a galaxy spanning empire called the V'kit'no'sat who abandoned our planet 100,000 years ago during a massive rebellion. Our ancestors, the Zen'zat, were given special genetic powers and ordered never to reproduce under pain of death...for themselves and their offspring. That means Earth's entire population is illegal and if the V'kit'no'sat return to reclaim their lost border colony they'll wipe out every last one of us.

Over the past few decades, a handful of scientists have been racing to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only four percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, me, our books, and every star and planet. The rest is completely unknown. Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of the quest to find this “dark” matter and an even more bizarre substance called “dark energy”. This is perhaps the greatest mystery in all of science, and solving it will bring fame, funding, and certainly a Nobel Prize.

Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell. We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now...

Kay’s life is pretty boring. She goes to school, spends quiet evenings at home with her foster mom, and has the occasional brush with mischief thanks to her best and only friend Will.

"[Greene] develops one fresh new insight after another...In the great tradition of physicists writing for the masses, The Elegant Universe sets a standard that will be hard to beat." --George Johnson, The New York Times Book Review In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as...

What if matter isn’t fundamental? What if space and time aren’t the foundation of reality? What if the universe behaves less like a collection of things—and more like a system executing rules? Modern physics has quietly dismantled the classical picture of solid reality. Quantum mechanics dissolves particles into probabilities. Black holes obey information limits. Entropy behaves like computation. The deeper we look, the less physical the foundation appears. In The Informational Universe, Clayton Louis Turnage argues that information—not matter—is the true substrate of existence. ...

I wasn’t supposed to have a name anymore—just a barcode and a fertility profile. The breeders’ convoy taught us our place: stay sedated, stay collared, stay quiet while we’re shipped through the Allied Zones to whoever paid best. Cameras watched our every breath. Any hint of heat, of scent, earned more drugs and more shocks. Then a pirate strike goes sideways, the hull ruptures… and the only thing between me and open vacuum is a pack of rogue Alphas who were never meant to find me. They’re salvagers and smugglers, ex-military ghosts with no official records and even less respect...

Life imprisonment in the galaxy’s most miserable hellhole, where hope goes to die and the food probably qualifies as a ...
