But as the world edges closer to the end of days and his evil brother plots against him, Thanatos realises that the sacrifice he must make will destroy everything he dreamed of having.

Letters from an Alien Schoolboy: Galactic Poodle
by Ros AsquithWhen Flowkwee goes to planet Earth on a mission, he has to stay disguised—as a small Earthling called Nigel, with only one head and four appendages! But that's not all: His personal mission is to go to a school every day to collect Earthlings to "improve."

Earth is full of cool sounds made up of all different pitches and noises called "music," and Earthlings get gifts every year on their birthdays, just for being alive! But while Nigel starts to embrace his Earthling self, in the background lurks a coming invasion that his dad keeps talking about. And why are they so interested in a substance called "spinach"?Letters from an Alien Schoolboy is sure to delight even the most reluctant readers as Earthling kids giggle their way through Nigel's gaffes and escapades.

Letting Lier and Finding Pax
by Harper MoonFor refusing the crown and renouncing his title, Prince Lier was eternally banished from the planet of Arden. After finding asylum in a Deep Space colony, he took a position in a bordello as the Master of Ceremonies. During Lier's exile, Emperor Sardius I conquered Arden and slaughtered Lier's people. From the destruction arose a new species dependent on blood. Seizing the opportunity, Sardius praises vampirism and blueprints mass blood manufacturing with Lier's blood as the key. Lier is not only the last of his kind, but his blood is strangely addictive. On a mission to capture Lier, Commander Raze, son of Sardius, can't help but try it for himself. When he does, he experiences strange flashbacks of himself with Lier. Tense relations between captor and captive blur the line between past and present. During the perilous journey to Arden, forces opposed to Sardius attempt to rescue their lost prince. Raze's mission changes from retrieval to survival. Soon it becomes clear that, although neither man recognizes what the other has become, this meeting is not their first. And by no means will it be their last.
Letting Loose the Hounds: Stories
by Brady Udall“Funny, unpredictable, and abounding with strange beauty . . . a fierce new voice of the American West.”—Outside Exploding with an unsettling exuberance, Brady Udall’s stories traverse a geography of lost love, fragmented lives, and satisfying revenge. From the night a six-foot-three Apache Indian holding a goat steps into a moonlit Arizona backyard in "Midnight Raid" to the pivotal moment when a man, delirious from a dental extraction, gets rescued by a stranger in the title story, Udall injects his stories and characters with equal parts darkness and humor. These are sad and sweet stories, moving from the familiar to surprising destinations. But even when disaster looms, Udall's fine comic sense sustains his men and women in their sometimes extravagant efforts to connect and cope. Plunged in the moment, these stories have velocity; they spray gravel as they take off.
Letting Stories Breathe: A Socio-Narratology
by Arthur W. FrankStories accompany us through life from birth to death. But they do not merely entertain, inform, or distress us—they show us what counts as right or wrong and teach us who we are and who we can imagine being. Stories connect people, but they can also disconnect, creating boundaries between people and justifying violence. In Letting Stories Breathe, Arthur W. Frank grapples with this fundamental aspect of our lives, offering both a theory of how stories shape us and a useful method for analyzing them. Along the way he also tells stories: from folktales to research interviews to remembrances. Frank’s unique approach uses literary concepts to ask social scientific questions: how do stories make life good and when do they endanger it? Going beyond theory, he presents a thorough introduction to dialogical narrative analysis, analyzing modes of interpretation, providing specific questions to start analysis, and describing different forms analysis can take. Building on his renowned work exploring the relationship between narrative and illness, Letting Stories Breathe expands Frank’s horizons further, offering a compelling perspective on how stories affect human lives.

by Kevin KillianyPolvo es para los héroes. Mara Duval, una espacial nacida en la Estación Tombaugh, bajó a la Tierra preparada para soportar seis semanas de exilio en este páramo atestado de enfermedades y desgarrado por la guerra que los espaciales llaman polvo. En su lugar, descubrió que el control absoluto que el Servicio Espacial tiene sobre el acceso al espacio está construido sobre mentiras, y a la gente que merece ser parte de la búsqueda por las estrellas se le niega este derecho. Mara empezó a correr la voz, y por sus crímenes fue “desaparecida” sin previo aviso. Pero el Servicio Espacial necesita desesperadamente de gente que explore y colonice los mundos exteriores, jóvenes que puedan ser moldeados según la tradición espacial. Para atraer la atención nacional, lanzan la primera competencia de Campo de Entrenamiento: un concurso de varios meses de duración, en el que los doce primeros finalistas ganarán un codiciado lugar en el Entrenamiento de Oficiales Junior del Servicio Espacial. Y gracias a Mara, el Campo de Entrenamiento está abierto a cualquiera. Jael Alden siempre ha sabido que su futuro está en las estrellas —pero décadas de discriminación por parte del Servicio Espacial están en su camino. El Campo de Entrenamiento le da una oportunidad para enfrentarse directamente al Servicio Espacial, para hacer que uno de esos puestos sea suyo. No le importa que la competencia esté arreglada en su contra, diseñada para hacer que todos los contendientes fallen. Jael toda su vida ha deseado las estrellas —y está dispuesta a arriesgarlo todo para demostrar que los mejores siempre se levantarán del polvo. "La prosa deliciosamente inmersiva de Kevin Killiany te jala junto a los personajes, su situación, su locación y sus vidas. Una lectura muy convincente." ~ Keith R. A.
