The strange kid at school, the odd woman in the apartment building, the troublesome man at work. Such people exist everywhere, in everyone’s lives. All it takes is a word for it to start. An unsettling question, a bizarre remark, or even a kind apology. Once their hooks sink in, the cracks form. Darkness floods into the recesses until nothing else remains, and then...Sirens, screaming, dull thuds on the pavement. They have always existed. They just are. And when they show up, people die.

Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln had only three meetings, but their exchanges profoundly influenced the course of slavery and the outcome of the Civil War. Although Abraham Lincoln deeply opposed the institution of slavery, he saw the Civil War at its onset as being primarily about preserving the Union.

Orphan. Frontiersman. President. The rise of Andrew Jackson to the highest office in America has become a legend of leadership, perseverance, and ambition. Central to Jackson's historic climb—long before the White House—was his military service. Scarred permanently as a child by the sword of a British soldier, Jackson grew into an unwavering leader, a general whose charisma and sheer force of personality called to mind those of George Washington a generation earlier.

Fresh off a stunning victory thwarting an alien conspiracy to eradicate the people of Earth, Kyr Syzygy and his crew are enjoying a brief respite when they receive a mysterious summons to the planet Krogon from the enigmatic Prophet. Unable to let curiosity wane, Kyr and crew embark on what seems to be a mundane journey. By the time they reach the Prophet, however, Kyr's reputation for galactic troublemaking has grown, and the consequences of his actions are quick to greet him.

His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, "He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military."

Kyr Syzygy never thought himself a hero. He was content working as a prospector, skimming a little of the profits, and mostly living a happy-go-lucky existence. When his luck finally catches up to him, Kyr finds himself on the run and in a race against time to save his one and only friend — a 16-year old genius navigator nicknamed Wormie. Fortunately for Kyr, a robot called Six is also on the run, and when the two team-up they learn that they make a formidable duo.
