Doomsday Horizon
by Michael D. CooperWhat started out as a peaceful, relaxing camping trip turned into a pivotal moment in the future of civilization when Starmen David Foster, Mark Seaton and Joe Taylor vanished from the wilderness of Montana. The forces of Earth searched for the missing Starmen in vain: they were lost without a trace, and no one even knew who had taken them or why. Earth had no way of knowing that the Starmen had been placed well outside her reach, and were about to be used in a gamble to change the course of the future. Earth's allies feared the worst, but the truth was far more devastating than they could have imagined. Unknown to all, titanic forces had been amassed in the depths of space, and the safety of all life in the Solar System rested completely on the actions of the famous three Starmen as they faced the most dangerous and important mission of their lives. Yet, despite their best efforts, doomsday awaited the Starmen at every turn - it seemed that nothing they could do could prevent their worst nightmares from coming true... In the gripping sequel to The Lost Race of Mars, the Starmen race to discern fantasy from reality, and what can be changed from what cannot. The only weapons that can help them are wisdom and courage, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. The authors of this book donated a digital copy to Bookshare.org.

Doomsday Morning (Golden Age Masterworks Ser.)
by C. L. MooreA classic, post-apocalyptic vision of America created by C. L. Moore, an undisputed master of science fiction’s golden age. In the wake of a nuclear war, the totalitarian system known as Comus has restored order in a shattered America. Comus controls every aspect of American life, from communications to transportation to law enforcement, but cracks are beginning to show: rumors of a rebellion in California are brewing, and Comus’s leadership is aging. History is at a crossroads, and the man who will decide the outcome is a washed-up actor named Howard Rohan. Leading a troupe of theatre players to perform in the heart of rebel territory, Howard’s true mission is to gather intelligence on a device that could bring down Comus. But Rohan finds himself slipping between his roles as a double agent and supposed revolutionary sympathizer, to the point where even he isn’t sure where he stands. As America edges closer to its reckoning, Rohan will need to decide who he’s been lying to: the rebels, Comus, or himself. “A finely wrought dystopic vision where an oppressive future government utilizes communication networks to spread its tentacles across the United States.” —Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations “It need hardly be mentioned at this late date what a gloriously fine writer Moore was . . . she combined elegant yet colorful prose with a distinctive emotional flair and one helluva imagination.” —Fantasy Literature
