Title: Liminal States

Author: Zack Parsons

Narrator: James Patrick Cronin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-03-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 38 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The debut novel from Zack Parsons, My Tank is Fight! is a mind-bending journey through time and genres. Beginning in 1874, with a blood-soaked western story of revenge, Liminal States follows a trio of characters through a 1950s noir detective story and 21st-century sci-fi horror. Their paths are tragically intertwined and their choices have far-reaching consequences for the course of American history.

Critic Reviews:

"Parsons's debut is a tour-de-force, a justifiably showy demonstration of the author's chameleon-like ability to write in several genres all at once, and it emerges as one of the scariest and bleakest tales I can remember." (Cory Doctorow, bestselling author of Little Brother)

Publisher's Summary:

In this spectacular sequel to the acclaimed Code of the Lifemaker, James Hogan returns to the strange world of Titan, inhabited by bizarre self-conscious robots.

Little is known about the civilization that gave birth to these machine intelligences until scientists discover blocks of embedded computer code that appear to be strangely out of place. Reactivating the computer codes results in the re-awakening of ancient alien beings, creators of the strange robot culture, totally alien and immensely powerful. And they are unhappy at being restrained within the narrow confines of the machines they find themselves in. They would much rather be the masters of all.

But while the scientists are helpless against these mighty beings, Karl Zambendord, the media-star "psychic" and his support team prepare to meet the challenge.

The alien intelligences might be intellectually superior and super rational, but this also makes them hyper-materialistic and mechanistic in their outlook and hence, totally unprepared for such "higher" concepts as the spiritual, the mystical, and the transcendental. And selling such notions is precisely Zambendorf's stock in trade....

Critic Reviews:

"[Hogan] once again demonstrates his mastery." (Publishers Weekly)

"...on the cutting edge of technology...Hogan's talent carries the reader from peak to peak in the story." (Booklist)

"In the grand tradition of the classic super-science stories, but with more exciting science and with better writing, too. What more can anyone want?" Isaac Asimov

Title: Rogue Star

Author: Michael Flynn

Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-01-12

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 215 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Michael Flynn opened his saga of near-future technology and space exploration with Firestar, in which he introduced a set of characters orbiting around one powerful and determined woman: Mariesa van Huyten, who is obsessed with the need to get humanity back into space and to save Earth from disaster. In Rogue Star, van Huytens struggles continue.

Three astronauts are headed out beyond Mars on the first human trip to the asteroid belt. In orbit around Earth, a construction crew is building the first permanent space station, owned by van Huytens consortium. Meanwhile, the president of the United States is trying to force her into making a secret deal to put weapons in orbit so he can intervene in the ongoing wars.

Van Huytens plan is in place - and some people will kill to stop it.

Michael Flynn lives in Easton, Pennsylvania. He is the winner of the Robert A. Heinlein Award and was a Hugo nominee for Eifelheim.

Critic Reviews:

"Hard SF is often authentic but rarely this well written, and Flynns history looks on course for enlivening the genre with intelligence and subtlety." (Vector)

"Firestar was a mighty hard act to follow, but Michael Flynn has done so, and brilliantly. Rogue Star continues the story, with the same imaginative realism, suspenseful narration, and vivid humanness, plus all sorts of new ideas and insights." (Poul Anderson)

"Flynn has produced a well-written hard SF novel brimming with vivid characters, realistic scenes of life in outer space, and just a touch of genuine strangeness." (Publishers Weekly)

In the Game, points amount to currency and top scorers are eligible for immortality. A mysterious, unifying force, the OverSoul, calls the shots, and an individual players health contract can be indefinitely extended - and with the offer of a permanent 20-year-olds body and health, its with fanaticism that gamers play the Game.

D_Light is one of the best players in his family and will do anything to win, even kill. When hes invited to a MetaGame - an exclusive, high-stakes competition - he jumps at the chance. But after the first quest, D_Lights overly ambitious ways brand him a renegade. With a warped sense of free will that is needed to prevail, D_Light must either kill someone hes grown to love - or lose everything.

Publisher's Summary:

Erich von Däniken claims to have never seen a UFO. But in the fall of 1987, on a desert ride, he experienced a close encounter of a very different kind. A being materialized before his eyes, and since the "thing" had no name, von Däniken called it "Tomy". This book is the story of Tomy. Some say that Tomy is a scientific impossibility.

Yet Tomy was there, science or not. After all, Tomy had for a few weeks lived among us, and that was enough for plenty of interpersonal relationships. God knows that von Däniken was not the only one who had known Tomy; others could see him, as well. Now, after 19 years of silence, Däniken has decided to make public the incredible story of Tomy.

Here, the best-selling author of Chariots of the Gods makes his foray into the world of fiction. Tomy and the Planet of Lies is a thrilling adventure novel that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.
