"History is turned inside out when off-world travelers challenge Tyson Reyes and Madi Grace to a real-life game of Temporal…
Dilemma. Three rounds from the opponents and Hitler takes Europe, Pearl Harbor never happens, a fascist cloud hangs over the postwar United States, and CHRONOS itself is erased from existence. Now Tyson, Madi, and a team of seasoned players must make their moves, in 1930s New York. Jazz and the blues waft from Village clubs. The World's Fair draws assassins. Madison Square Garden hosts Nazis. And the Manhattan Project never gets off the ground. Tyson and Madi have only three days to undo the strategy that changed the tides of war and the fate of the world. A surprise survivor from CHRONOS could be their best hope for flipping the timeline. If he's on their side. But can they risk trusting him when the past, the future, and the lives of millions hang in the balance?"--Provided by publisher

"Chronos historians Madi, Tyson, and Katherine and their cohorts are on the enemy's trail, fixing the mess that sociopath Saul…
Rand has made of history - and of the Temporal Dilemma rules. Another time shift is on the horizon, and this time, it's one that reflects Saul's twisted vision. When the shift hits, it plunges the United States into a modern dark age where superstition trumps science and seventeenth-century witch hunts are no longer a thing of the past. But Saul has added a new hurdle to this insane reality: he's hunting the Sisters of Prudence. Clones of Katherine's daughter, the Sisters are pawns to be sacrificed on Saul's time chessboard - unless the team can track him down at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and erase him first. Saul is calling the shots, so he's ahead of them every step of the way. With the clock ticking, this could be the endgame for Chronos and, if they fail, for reality itself."-- From publisher

"More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has…
been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender's fate -- whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob's descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore. Some of them oppose Bob's plan; others have plans of their own. The out-of-control moots are the least of the Bobiverse's problems. Undaunted, Bob and his allies follow Bender's trail. But what they discover out in deep space is so unexpected and so complex that it could either save the universe -- or pose an existential threat the likes of which the Bobiverse has never faced."-- From publisher

been up there. It's just one more in a string of strange things happening to Noah lately. Like when he keels over and every muscle in his body freezes when confronted by bullies. And when he vanishes into the background at a moment he doesn't want to be noticed. And when he unexpectedly blasts Sahara with a bird shriek while flapping his arms uncontrollably in the middle of a school dance. What does it all mean? And why do there suddenly seem to be so many mysterious people trying to kill him? Noah's friend Ogden has an idea...but like all of Ogden's ideas, it's out there." -- WorldCat

Noah Prime never expected to wind up a fugitive hunted by aliens. To be honest, he had never even believed…
in aliens until a team of them blew up his house. He escaped and managed to save the world by using his mysterious ability to harness the traits of every animal on earth. Now he's in hiding, and thinks all is well, until his friend Ogden buys a star for Claire, the most popular girl in school. However, instead of a quaint romantic notion, it turns out to be an actual real estate deal and aliens from that star system abduct Claire to take her to the nasty, trash-filled planet she now owns. It's up to Noah, Sahara, and Ogden to cross the cosmos in search of Claire to save her and her strange new world from the evilest body-snatching worms in the galaxy. This time it's going to take a lot more than walrus blubber, cheetah speed, or skunk funk to save the day...it's going to take friendship of the most extraordinary and extraterrestrial variety." -- WorldCat

"Celebrated author Sofia Samatar presents a mystical, revolutionary space adventure for the exhausted dreamer in this brilliant science fiction novella…
tackling the carceral state and violence embedded in the ivory tower while embodying the legacy of Ursula K. Le Guin. The boy was raised as one of the Chained, condemned to toil in the bowels of a mining ship out among the stars. His whole world changes--literally--when he is yanked "upstairs" and informed he has been given an opportunity to be educated at the ship's university alongside the elite. Overwhelmed and alone, the boy forms a bond with the woman he comes to know as "the professor," a weary idealist and descendent of the Chained who has spent her career striving for validation from her more senior colleagues, only to fall short at every turn. Together, the boy and the woman will embark on a transformative journey to grasp the design of the chains that fetter them both--and are the key to breaking free." -- From publisher website

"What if you once had thousands of bodies and near god-like technology at your disposal? And what if all of…
it were ripped away? The Lord of the Radch has given Breq command of the ship Mercy of Kalr and sent her to the only place she would have agreed to go -- to Athoek Station, where Lieutenant Awn's sister works in Horticulture. Athoek was annexed some six hundred years ago, and by now everyone is fully civilized -- or should be. But everything is not as tranquil as it appears. Old divisions are still troublesome, Athoek Station's AI is unhappy with the situation, and it looks like the alien Presger might have taken an interest in what's going on. With no guarantees that interest is benevolent." -- Provided by publisher
