Reconcilable Claim (Wolf Ranch #1)
by Lia DavisSawyer Kelmount's destiny is at the head of the pack, but becoming Alpha was supposed to happen much later in his life. Grieving the loss of his father forces him to slowly accept his new responsibilities, but as he steps up to lead the others on Wolf Ranch, he's haunted by his loneliness and the mistakes of his past. Surely this would all be easier to accept if his mate were still here.Erika Morrison is happy with her life in L.A., but when she learns that Sawyer's father has passed away, she dutifully makes the trip home to Wolf Ranch to attend the funeral. Expecting Sawyer to be as distant and aloof as always, Erika is surprised that the new pack Alpha wants her help with the ranch's finances. And being near him again sparks the embers of an old flame that never really burned out. As Erika sorts through the books for Sawyer to figure out what's really going on, one phone call forces her to make a difficult decision: return to L.A. or stay on Wolf Ranch and work things out with Sawyer once and for all.
Reconciliation (The Bloodlight Chronicles #1)
by Steve Stanton&“Revitalizes the cyber-fiction genre with its vivid prose and believable characters . . . [This] should appeal to fans of Bruce Sterling and William Gibson&” (Library Journal). Zakariah and Mia Davis have been infected with an alien virus that prolongs life—and as a result, their blood is a valuable black-market staple due to its rejuvenating effects.

To succeed, Zakariah surgically wires his brain for the global computer network, a virtual cyber-economy controlled by avatars. Busted for transporting grain without a permit, and on the run from the government and the Eternal Research Institute, Zakariah must travel off-planet through a commercial wormhole, alongside a woman who is seeking the source of immortality for her own purposes. Now, in the Cromeus colonies on the other side of time and space, Zakariah will risk everything to give his son eternal life . . .

Record of a Spaceborn Few: Wayfarers 3 (Wayfarers #3)
by Becky ChambersReturn to the sprawling universe of the Galactic Commons, as humans, artificial intelligence, aliens, and some beings yet undiscovered explore what it means to be a community in this exciting third adventure in the acclaimed and multi-award-nominated science fiction Wayfarers series, brimming with heartwarming characters and dazzling space adventure.Hundreds of years ago, the last humans on Earth boarded the Exodus Fleet in search of a new home among the stars. After centuries spent wandering empty space, their descendants were eventually accepted by the well-established species that govern the Milky Way.But that was long ago. Today, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, the birthplace of many, yet a place few outsiders have ever visited. While the Exodans take great pride in their original community and traditions, their culture has been influenced by others beyond their bulkheads. As many Exodans leave for alien cities or terrestrial colonies, those who remain are left to ponder their own lives and futures: What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination? Why remain in space when there are habitable worlds available to live? What is the price of sustaining their carefully balanced way of life—and is it worth saving at all?A young apprentice, a lifelong spacer with young children, a planet-raised traveler, an alien academic, a caretaker for the dead, and an Archivist whose mission is to ensure no one’s story is forgotten, wrestle with these profound universal questions. The answers may seem small on the galactic scale, but to these individuals, it could mean everything.

by Colleen HouckThe second book in Colleen Houck's Reawakened Series, where Lily must now not only travel across the globe, she must enter the Netherworld (hell), to save the love of her life, Amon. If Lily thought traveling across the globe with a reawakened sun-prince was an epic adventure, she's now in for the journey of a lifetime. Amon has left his sacred duty to the gods and transported himself to the Netherworld, what we know as hell, to live out the rest of his years in agony. He is tormented by the loss of his love, Lily, and wishes to relinquish his obligation to the gods until they can reunite again. Lily has sought refuge on her grandmother's farm until she must attend the college of her parents' choice, and it is there that she is visited by Anubis, the Egyptian god of mummification, who fills her in on Amon's choice and that she is the only one who can save him. What Lily doesn't tell Anubis is that since she's left Amon she has known something went wrong. Lily can feel Amon's pain and she's been having dreams, dreams filled with Amon fighting awful beasts and crying out in agony. She will do whatever it takes to save him. For his life means more to her than anything in the world, which may not exist if she doesn't bring him back home.

Recuerdos (Las aventuras de Miles Vorkosigan #Volumen 10)
by Lois Mcmaster BujoldUna de las mejores sagas de aventuras de ciencia ficción. Galardonada con cuatro premios Hugo, dos Nebula, dos Locus y un Analog. Morir es fácil. En cambio volver a la vida resulta extremadamente difícil. Miles Vorkosigan lo sabe por experiencia: en Jackson's Whole murió y luego fue criorresucitado. Sin embargo, el proceso ha tenido efectos secundarios inesperados: la criorresurrección ha dejado secuelas en el cerebro de Miles, que ha de abandonar, tal vez para siempre, su cargo de almirante Naismith y comandante de los mercenarios Dendarii. Solo le queda una opción: su aburrido papel como aristocrático Lord Vorkosigan en la formal y militarizada sociedad de Vor de Barrayar. Mientras tanto, premeditadamente pero al azar, el emperador Gregor se enamora de quien no debe justo cuando Simon Illyan, el jefe de la Seguridad Imperial, parece tener graves problemas con el chip experimental de memoria eidetica que lleva alojado en su cerebro desde hace 35 años. El desafío para el atormentado Miles es, ahora, resolver dos nuevos misterios: la identidad y los posibles motivos del atacante de Illyan, y la naturaleza de su propia y compleja personalidad. Reseñas:«Como siempre ocurre con las obras de Bujold, la lectura de Recuerdos es una delicia. Ofrece el fascinante estudio psicológico de un hombre extraordinario, y la inesperada mezcla del futuro con un pasado del que ya se consideraba alejado.»Faren Miller, LOCUS

Recursion
by Tony BallantyneIt is the twenty-third century. Herb, a young entrepreneur, returns to the isolated planet on which he has illegally been trying to build a city-and finds it destroyed by a swarming nightmare of self-replicating machinery. Worse, the all-seeing Environment Agency has been watching him the entire time. His punishment? A nearly hopeless battle in the farthest reaches of the universe against enemy machines twice as fast, and twice as deadly, as his own-in the company of a disarmingly confident AI who may not be exactly what he claims. . . Little does Herb know that this war of machines was set in motion nearly two hundred years ago-by mankind itself. For it was then that a not-quite-chance encounter brought a confused young girl and a nearly omnipotent AI together in one fateful moment that may have changed the course of humanity forever.

Red Alert: Marxist Approaches to Science Fiction Cinema (Contemporary Approaches to Film and Media Series)
by Ewa Mazierska Alfredo SuppiaIn Red Alert: Marxist Approaches to Science Fiction Cinema, editors Ewa Mazierska and Alfredo Suppia argue that Marxist philosophy, science fiction, and film share important connections concerning imaginings of the future. Contributors look at themes across a wide variety of films, including many international co-productions to explore individualism versus collectivism, technological obstacles to travel through time and space, the accumulation of capital and colonization, struggles of oppressed groups, the dangers of false ideologies, and the extension of the concept of labor due to technological advances. Red Alert considers a wide swath of contemporary international films, from the rarely studied to mainstream science fiction blockbusters like The Matrix. Contributors explore early Czechoslovak science fiction, the Polish-Estonian co-productions of director Marek Piestrak, and science fiction elements in 1970s American blaxploitation films. The collection includes analyses of recent films like Transfer (Damir Lukacevic), Avalon (Mamoru Oshii), Gamer (Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor), and District 9 and Elysium (Neill Blomkamp), along with more obscure films like Alex Rivera's materialist science fiction works and the Latin American zombie films of Pablo Parés, Hernán Sáez, and Alejandro Brugués. Contributors show that the ambivalence and inner contradictions highlighted by the films illustrate both the richness of Marx's legacy and the heterogeneity and complexity of the science fiction genre. This collection challenges the perception that science fiction cinema is a Western or specifically American genre, showing that a broader, transnational approach is necessary to fully understand its scope. Scholars and students of film, science fiction, and Marxist culture will enjoy Red Alert.
