The Florians
They call them the «rat-catchers.» They're the crew of the spaceship Daedalus, which an economically destitute Earth has dispatched on a mission to re-establish contact with its far-flung, long-lost space colonies. Alex Alexander, ship's biologist, must help solve the mysteries of human and alien ecosystems that he encounters light-years from home. The planet Floria initially appears to be one of the few Earth colonies that's actually prospered since its initial settlement. But underneath the surface of the society, the «Planners» keep a strict, repressive rule over the Florians, while the police are apparently attempting to assert their own authority. But is either group actually what they seem? Daedalus Mission, Book One.

Deluge
A great cataclysm shakes the world, and much of Great Britain sinks beneath the ocean during a terrifying windstorm that has already flattened most of mankind’s dwellings. Martin Webster and his wife, Helen, manage to survive that first horrible night, but become separated as waves of salt water come surging into the English countryside. Webster, believing his wife drowned, moves into an old railway tunnel, which provides some shelter from the elements, and manages to scavenge some of the remnants of civilization. While down by the shores of the new sea, he sees a woman stagger out of the waves after swimming miles from some outlying island. Claire moves in with Martin, but is kidnapped by a band of twenty renegades who mean to use her as a common mistress for the group. Webster manages to rescue her, but the pair are besieged in their tunnel until a second group, headed by Tom Aldworth, attacks the outlaws, and saves them for an uncertain future. See also the stirring sequel, Dawn.
Rillas and Other Science Fiction Stories
NO ONE writes science fiction, fantasy, or horror like A. R. Morlan. Her unique characters–her unusual perspective–her enormous imagination–all of these traits combine to produce absolutely «different» views of the past, present, and future. The eight novellas and short stories in this new collection highlight some of the best of her recent explorations of the near-future: «The Best Years of Our Lives,» «Contingencies and Penti-Lope-Lope» (with John S. Postovit), «Ciné Rimettato,» «Boog'/4 and the Endicaran Kluge,» «Robin Williams, Speaking Spanish,» «What Falls from the Life» (with John S. Postovit), «Etamin at East 47th,» and «'Rillas.»
Into the Unknown
A laboratory accident suddenly sends four modern-day humans backwards in time, their individual organic bodies almost untouched by the phenomenon, while the physical world around them gradually retreats through the ages. Onward and onward they careen through the past, until they appear in the vividly green Carboniferous Age, filled with overwhelmingly excessive vegetation, festering swamps, and fetid lagoons. The accumulation of rotted vegetation is everywhere around them, vegetation that will eventually become peat, and then through accumulating pressures and chemical change, hard black coal–coal for a future that has already been destroyed. Paradoxes of time–infinite and complete–surround them. But what can they actually do to save themselves…?
The Space Warp
In Annex 10 in the Adirondack Mountains in New York, the scientists under the leadership of astronomer Dr. Gray can hardly believe the things their instruments are telling them; but, because their equipment is absolutely reliable, they HAVE to believe, and on that ill-fated June 30th, they begin to see the chaos will affect mankind. The Earth is growing steadily hotter. Temperatures rocket as the sun shines through the night and the world is plunged into endless day. Everywhere people are suffering–rich and poor, criminal and family man–and none know if or when relief will ever come. Is this the end of the world as we know it?
A Stranger in Paradise
A Stranger in Paradise, by Edward M. Lerner, collects five of the bestselling author's science fiction stories: The Night of the RFIDs, Two kinds of People, Better the Devil You Know, Small Business, and A Stranger in Paradise.
Countdown to Armageddon
Hezbollah has obtained an atomic bomb and a would-be martyr eager to deliver it-and that's the good news. The bad news, unknown even to Hezbollah, is that their physicist has also found a way to take his new bomb back to a turning point in European history. Harry Bowen, an American physicist, and Terrence Ambling, a British agent turned historian, are determined to stop Abdul Faisel and prevent the nullification of all Western civilization. Their mission can be accomplished, if at all, only in the darkest of the Dark Ages. And there, too, time is running out…
