Sold for Endless Rue Madeleine E. Robins

This captivating historical answers the question, "Why did Rapunzel's mother lock her in the tower?"

After a blighted childhood, young Laura finds peace and purpose in the home of a midwife and healer. Later, she enrolls in Salerno's famed medical school—the first in the world to admit women. Laura and her adoptive mother hope that Laura can build a bridge between women's herbal healing and the new science of medicine developing in thirteenth century Italy.

The hardest lessons are those of love; Laura falls hard for a fellow student who abandons her for a wealthy wife. Worse, her mother rejects her as "impure."

Through shifting points of view, Estleman recreates this country as it was in the 20’s and the 40’s; the dark, the light, and all of the shades between." — Sue Grafton, #1 bestselling author of the Kinsey Milhone mysteries "Al 'Scarface' Capone remains one of the best-known and most fascinating characters in the history of the mafia. His fame rivals such 'reel' mafiosi as Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, as well as the 'real' life versions —Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and John Gotti. So, what more could possibly be said or written about him? Well, Loren Estleman has actually found a lot to say in this fascinating look at the personal side of Capone. The focus is the mobster's declining years. And here we see a version of Capone's family and personal life—his loves, his wife, his son, his brothers. In this historical novel we get a gangster version that is reminiscent of the HBO series The Sopranos. Estleman's is an imaginative plot that keeps you reading."

“Fictional private detectives are a glut on the market. By the hundreds, they stalk America’s mean streets, doing their best to emulate Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, the cool, smart-alecky loners created by the great Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler more than half a century ago. The highest accolade their creators can receive is to be compared to these icons, but few deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. One who does is Loren D. Estleman.” —Associated Press

"With sixty something books to his name, I’d guess Loren D. Estleman had paid his dues, but I’d be surprised if he hadn’t been hitting them out of the ballpark from the start. In American Detective his spare prose flows like the best of them, meaning, of course, Chandler at the top of his game. Highly recommended.” —GumshoeReview.com

More than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Rithmatists have the power to infuse life into two-dimensional figures known as Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity’s only defense against the Wild Chalklings. Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild Chalklings now threaten all of the American Isles.

As the son of a lowly chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can only watch as Rithmatist students learn the magical art that he would do anything to practice. Then students start disappearing—kidnapped from their rooms at night, leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on the trail of an unexpected discovery—one that will change Rithmatics—and their world—forever.

The Human Division

John Scalzi

John Scalzi returns to the world of his bestselling Old Man’s War

Following the events of The Last Colony, John Scalzi tells the story of the fight to maintain the unity of the human race.

The people of Earth now know that the human Colonial Union has kept them ignorant of the dangerous universe around them. For generations the CU had defended humanity against hostile aliens, deliberately keeping Earth an ignorant backwater and a source of military recruits. Now the CU’s secrets are known to all. Other alien races have come on the scene and formed a new alliance—an alliance against the Colonial Union. And they’ve invited the people of Earth to join them. For a shaken and betrayed Earth, the choice isn't obvious or easy.

Against such possibilities, managing the survival of the Colonial Union won’t be easy, either. It will take diplomatic finesse, political cunning…and a brilliant “B Team,” centered on the resourceful Lieutenant Harry Wilson, that can be deployed to deal with the unpredictable and unexpected things the universe throws at you when you’re struggling to preserve the unity of the human race.

Originally published online in 2012–2013 as a three-month digital serial, The Human Division now appears as a full-length novel of the Old Man’s War universe, plus—for the first time in print—the first tale of Lieutenant Harry Wilson, and a coda that wasn’t part of the digital serialization.

JOHN SCALZI is the author of several SF novels including his massively succesful debut Old Man’s War and the New York Times bestsellers The Last Colony, Fuzzy Nation, and Redshirts. He is a winner of science fiction’s John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and he won the Hugo Award for Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded, a collection of essays from his popular blog The Whatever (whatever.scalzi.com). He lives in Ohio with his wife and daughter.

Earth Afire

Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston

100 years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. This is the story of the First Formic War.

Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely. Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat. They didn’t believe that until space stations and ships and colonies went up in sudden flame.

And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police could move fast enough to meet the threat.

ORSON SCOTT CARD is the author of the international bestsellers Shadow of the Giant, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Hegemon, and Ender's Shadow, and of the beloved classic of science fiction, Ender's Game, as well as the acclaimed fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker. He lives in Greensboro, NC.

AARON JOHNSTON is an advertising specialist, and was the coauthor, with Orson Scott Card, of the contemporary SF thriller Invasive Procedures. He lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and son.

“The World of the End is a refreshing, original, and particularly, impressive work... The writer displays virtuosity in moving from a film-noir kind of novel to dealing with metaphysical issues regarding post-mortem life, then returning to an adventure story incorporating innumerable motifs from the world of science fiction. His most prominent ability is the philosophical depth he achieves without being over-smart or getting lost.” —Time Out (Israel)

And while chasing down miscreants in 1768 makes his life a perilous one, the simmering political tensions between loyalists like himself and rabble-rousing revolutionaries like Samuel Adams and others of his ilk are perhaps even more dangerous to his health.
