Ela age como se eu falasse sobre isso o tempo todo, pensou, franzindo a testa. Viu o rosto franzido em seu semblante e desviou o olhar. "Por que você não pode falar sobre nos tirar desta bola de barro?" Era uma pergunta que ela teria feito a Casper muitas vezes. Ele suspirou e não conseguiu parar sua reação. "Mas eu estou falando sobre sairmos daqui. Se conseguir encontrar um de seus cristais.” "Você nunca verá um desses cristais. Ninguém os tem! Porque eles não existem! É impossível!" Ela atirou as mãos ao ar e saiu de sua presença. Casper olhou para a porta vazia, perguntando-se se ela iria, mesmo sabendo que não funcionaria e que apenas a frastaria. Não havia como convencê-la. Ele olhou ao redor do espaço restrito. Uma cela de prisão em Karata. No Cinturão de Orion.

Lenny Cyrus, School Virus
by Joe Schreiber Matt SmithIt seemed so logical at first. Fourteen-year-old Lenny Cyrus had loved Zooey Andrews since third grade. All the boy genius needed to do to win her heart, surely, was shrink down to the size of an amoeba, ooze into a gelatin capsule, and have his friend Harlan slip it (him!) into Zooey's Diet Coke. Told in three voices, this fantastical middle grade novel takes Lenny deep into Zooey's loud, splashing innards, where a talking astrovirus named Astro has a bad attitude about white blood cells ("self-righteous pus-bags") and aromatic hormones disco dance. The question is, will Lenny and Zooey survive his crazy experiment in nanotechnology? The worst part comes when Lenny inadvertently triggers an infection in Zooey's brain, and her whole body goes into lockdown. Can Lenny rescue Zooey before his time is up? Lenny Cyrus is determined to find his way into Zooey's heart. Literally.

The Lens of the World Trilogy: Lens of the World, King of the Dead, and The Belly of the Wolf (Lens of the World Trilogy #1)
by R. A. MacAvoyThe enchanting fantasy series by the John W. Campbell Award–winning author of Tea with the Black Dragon. Warrior, linguist, astronomer, philosopher, lens grinder, lord, dwarf—the name Nazhuret conjures many definitions. His story is not a simple one: The course of his history is a strange and winding tale filled with danger. All three novels in this epic saga about the outcast-turned-legend are collected in one incredible volume. Lens of the World: In this New York Times Notable Book, a tenacious orphan discovers his identity.

Lensman From Rigel
by David Kyle E. E. SmithThe second of three companion pieces to E.E. "Doc" Smith's magnificent space opera "The Lensmen" series, this novel follows the affairs of the non-human Second Stage Lensman Tregonsee, Director of Intelligence for the Galactic Patrol, as he faces many problems during the consolidation of Civilization in two galaxies after the (apparent) defeat of the evil empire Boskone. David Kyle was a personal friend of "Doc" Smith's, and received permission from the Smith estate to write three novels concerning the three non-human Lensmen that attained "second stage" status. Most of the characters from the original Lensmen epic are retained, and several new ones are added. Fans of The Lensmen series might find these companion novels disappointing, as they are not "clones" of the original. The writing style is not as "slam-bang" as Smith's, the characters have more depth, and the "science" part of the science fiction has been updated to the mid-70's. Nonetheless, they are a very enjoyable and highly competent addition to the Lensen universe.
