Excelsior
A MISSION TO ANOTHER WORLD COULD BE OUR ONLY HOPE…
The Alliance is sending Captain Alexander de Leon to explore an Earth-type planet, code-named Wonderland. The resulting power struggle will determine the fate of the entire human race.

First Encounter
The Forerunners set out from Earth to colonize neighboring star systems…
And to search for intelligent life…
After a 90-year journey to reach Trappist-1, the crew of Forerunner One encountered not only a habitable world, but alien life already inhabiting it and dark secrets lurking beneath the surface.

Arrival
They have arrived.
Chris Randall just lost his job. That night, while picking up his wife from work, flaming debris rain across the valley, and a dark mass sails out of the clouds, headed straight for LA.
It’s not a Union starship, because they can’t defy gravity like that.
Whatever it is, it’s not from Earth…

Nightstalkers
Everything changed the day that they arrived…
Adam and Kimberly Hall are enjoying a quiet suburban life when an emergency message flashes up on their phones—meteor impact imminent, seek immediate shelter. The shock wave rages through South Austin like a hurricane, and then horrific creatures come crawling out of the impact craters.

Dark Space
HUMANITY IS DEFEATED
Ten years ago the Sythians invaded the galaxy with one goal: to wipe out the human race. The survivors are hiding in the last human sector of the galaxy: Dark Space—once a place of exile for criminals, now the last refuge of mankind.

Planet B
2069: EARTH IS DYING AND SOCIETY IS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE
We are out of time to save the planet; all that’s left is to watch the world burn. But in our final hour a habitable planet inexplicably appears in close proximity to Earth.
The race to reach it is heating up political tensions, and mysteries abound. How did Planet B get here and why now?

Broken Worlds
They went to sleep on Earth, but where did they wake up?
Darius goes into cryo with his daughter to save her life, but the dark, freezing vault where they wake up is nothing like the luxurious Florida hospital he remembers. Everything about this place is alien. Little does he know how alien it really is….

Into the Unknown
Liam Price and his family are traveling on the Starlit Dream to the exotic world of Aquaria in the Kepler star system. Soon after the voyage starts, they learn that they’ve somehow jumped to the wrong star system. Then the ship plunges into darkness, and they realize that something is on board, hunting the passengers…

The Bounty Hunter
Cade Korbin was a member of the Coalition’s elite special forces until he was scapegoated and dishonorably discharged.
Now he hunts the galaxy’s worst lowlifes for a fee, and the only orders he takes are his own. But when his past catches up with him, Cade is forced to fight for more than just credits.
This time, he’s in it for revenge.

The first novel in the SFWA Grand Master’s classic series, in which wars are no longer fought on land, in the air, or on the sea—but throughout time and space itself . . .

“Andre Norton is a superb storyteller whose skill draws the reader completely into a fantastic other world of transposed time.” — Chicago Tribune

The never-ending tension between Russia and the United States has been escalated by a stunning new variable: time travel. While the Americans can roughly utilize the technology, the Russians have learned the secret of space travel—and that makes the US vulnerable. What they need is someone expendable to send through time to obtain the same secret.

Ross Murdock doesn’t consider himself expendable. He’s just a smart guy who made some bad choices that led him to a life of crime. But when he’s given a choice between medical “rehabilitation” and joining the mysterious Operation Retrograde, he decides to go along with the military option and hope for a chance to get away.

And he is going to get away—farther away than he ever imagined . . .

A mage’s fate is worse than death…

Lucian dreams of a new life outside the cesspool of Earth. Unfortunately, his wish comes true when the government identifies him as a mage.

No one knows why the mages are being born. No one knows why their powers lead to madness and death. The only solution is to train them at the Academies, for them to serve the League of Worlds that subjugated them fifty years ago.

When Lucian is exiled from Earth, he must travel to the distant world of Volsung to receive training. During the long passage, he meets a mysterious mage. She prophesies he is marked by the Manifold, the reality that is the source of all magic. It is a destiny that requires him to master abilities he never imagined he possessed.

Trouble is brewing in the galaxy. An ancient alien menace has awoken, somehow connected with the return of magic to the stars. Lucian faces a terrible choice. To accept his new reality as a mage. Or, to try and outrun destiny…

Cara Lockwood, USA TODAY–bestselling author, brings her trademark blend of intense romance and sharp comedy to this hilarious paranormal tale about what happens when you make a Texas girl good and mad.

Rachel Farnsworth doesn’t believe in the paranormal—she’s got enough trouble right in Dogwood County. Her family hardware store is being crushed by a Mega-Mart, and her toddler can turn birthday candles into a five-alarm blaze with a single breath. But when her marriage literally goes up in smoke, Rachel learns her husband Kevin isn’t just a deadbeat—he’s a demon. A sloth demon, which explains the lack of housework.

Unfortunately, Kevin is hiding a secret he’s kept for a millennium, and a fallen-angel bounty hunter named Sam is hot on his trail. Sam once lost everything for loving a mortal woman, and the spark between him and Rachel threatens to undo him all over again.

As dark forces gather in Dogwood County, Rachel must decide whether the celestial chemistry crackling between her and Sam is more than just magic—and whether it’s strong enough to save her son, her home, and maybe even her heart.

When her mother dies after a long illness, Ingrid Torfa must sell the family home to cover the medical bills.

Her career as a book illustrator not yet exactly launched, Ingrid faces two options: live in her battered old Volkswagen, or go back to her mother’s small town in northern Minnesota. The small town that still haunts her dreams more than a decade since she last visited it.

Or rather, not the town but the grandmother. All of the drawings she fills notebooks with witches and the trolls that do their bidding? Not as whimsical in her nightmares as she sketches them in the bright light of day.

If not for her beloved cat Mjolner, living in the Volkswagen just might tempt her. But the cat wants four walls and a door, so north she goes.

And finds trouble in the form of a dead body before she even finds her grandmother’s little town. How much can a town of stoic fishermen possibly be hiding? As Ingrid is about to find out, quite a lot.
