Terms of Engagement
by Kathryn RossAn engagement of convenienceFrazer McClarran had barely blinked when, in order to avoid reconciliation with her ex-husband, Emma had nonchalantly introduced him as her fiancé. But he had his own terms: that news of their "engagement" was otherwise kept secret and that they kept their distance as much as possible. But, almost immediately, emotions and passions intervened, as time and again they were forced to play the loving couple. Eventually the game culminated in each other's arms. Emma secretly wanted to stay there, but she could not get involved with Frazer McClarran—ever—because eventually he would discover that she could never give him what he really wanted…
Termush: A Novel
by Sven HolmWith an introduction by Jeff VanderMeer that makes an ardent case for its relevance to today’s world, this rediscovered classic of Scandinavian fiction is still shockingly relevant more than fifty years after it was first published. Sven Holm’s Termush is a searing and prophetic study of humanity forced into a moral bind through its own doing. Termush caters to every need of its wealthy patrons—first among them, a coveted spot at this exclusive seaside getaway, a resort designed for the end of the world.Everyone within its walls has been promised full protection from the aftereffects of “the disaster.” The staff work behind the scenes to create a calming and frictionless mood; they pipe soothing music into the halls and quickly remove the dead birds that fall out of the sky. But the specter of death remains. Recon teams come and go in protective gear. Fear of contamination spreads as the hotel cautiously welcomes survivors only to then censor news of their arrival. As the days pass, the veneer of control begins to crack, and it becomes clear that the residents of Termush can insulate themselves from neither the physical effects of the cataclysm nor the moral fallout of using their wealth to separate themselves from the fate of those trapped outside.
Terok Nor: Dawn of the Eagles
by S. D. PerryBefore the Dominion War and the decimation of Cardassia...before the coming of the Emissary and the discovery of the wormhole...before space station Terok Nor became Deep Space 9™...there was the Occupation: the military takeover of an alien planet and the violent insurgency that fought against it. Now that fifty-year tale of warring ideologies, terrorism, greed, secret intelligence, moral compromises, and embattled faiths is at last given its due in the three-book saga of Star Trek's Lost Era... TEROK NOR As violence all across Bajor continues to escalate, Cardassian forces tighten their grip on the captive planet, driving back the resistance at every turn; but on Terok Nor and elsewhere, the winds of change are stirring -- the beginnings of a hurricane that will alter the landscape of the Occupation. And while secret dealings, shifting alliances, and personal demons buoy the wings of revolution, a mysterious shape-shifting life form begins a journey that will decide the fate of worlds.
Terra
by Mitch BennNo-one trusts humanity. No-one can quite understand why we're intent on destroying the only place we have to live in the Universe. No-one thinks we're worth a second thought. And certainly no-one is about to let us get off Rrth. That would be a complete disaster.But one alien thinks Rrth is worth looking at. Not humanity, obviously, we're appalling, but until we manage to kill every other living thing on the planet there are some truly wonderful places on Rrth and some wonderful creatures living in them. Best take a look while they're still there.But on one trip to Rrth our alien biologist causes a horrendous accident. The occupants of a car traveling down a lonely road spot his ship (the sort of massive lemon coloured, lemon shaped starship that really shouldn't be hanging in the sky over a road). Understandably the Bradbury's crash (interrupting the latest in a constant procession of bitter rows). And in the wreckage of their car our alien discovers a baby girl. She needs rescuing. From the car. From Rrth. From her humanity.And now eleven years later a girl called Terra is about to go to school for the first time. It's a very alien experience ...Terra is a charming and hilarious satirical fable. A story about how odd and alien we are. And a story about how human odd aliens are. It tells the story of a girl who grows up in a very different world, who gains a unique perspective on our world and a unique perspective on her new home. A girl who can teach us and them a lot. A girl living in an extraordinary world that is spiraling into a terrible war.

Terra Incognita: Three Novellas
by Connie WillisTHREE CLASSIC SCI-FI NOVELLAS IN ONE VOLUME—from a Hugo and Nebula award-winning author In Terra Incognita, Connie Willis explores themes of love and mortality while brilliantly illuminating the human condition through biting satire. Uncharted Territory Findriddy and Carson are explorers, dispatched to a distant planet to survey its canyons, ridges, and scrub-covered hills. Teamed with a profit-hungry indigenous guide of indeterminate gender and an enthusiastic newcomer whose specialty is mating customs, the group battles hostile terrain as they set out for unexplored regions. Along the way, they face dangers, discover treasures, and soon find themselves in an alien territory of another kind: exploring the paths and precipices of sex—and love. Remake In the Hollywood of the future, live-action movies are a thing of the past. Old films are computerized and ruthlessly dissected, actors digitally ripped from one film and thrust into another. Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe in A Star Is Born? No problem. Hate the ending? Change it with the stroke of a key. Technology makes anything possible. But a starry-eyed young woman wants only one thing: to dance on the big screen. With a little magic and a lot of luck, she just may get her happy ending. D.A. Theodora Baumgarten is baffled and furious: Why was she selected to be part of a highly competitive interstellar cadet program? After all, she never even applied. But that hasn’t stopped the powers that be from whisking her onto a spaceship bound for the prestigious Academy. With her protests ignored, Theodora takes matters into her own hands, aided by her hacker best friend, to escape the Academy and return to Earth—only to uncover a conspiracy that runs deeper than she could have imagined.

Terra Nostra (Folio Ser. #Vol. 38141)
by Carlos FuentesTerra Nostra is one of the great masterpieces of modern Latin American fiction. Concerned with nothing less than the history of Spain and of South America, with the Indian Gods and with Christianity, with the birth, the passion, and the death of civilizations, Fuentes's great novel is, indeed, that rare creation--the total work of art.Magnificently translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, Terra Nostra is, as Milan Kundera says in his afterword, "the spreading out of the novel, the exploration of its possibilities, the voyage to the edge of what only a novelist can see and say."

È la vigilia del solstizio d’inverno, e un narratore tesse una storia fantastica tratta dalla sua giovinezza: “Ho vissuto per più anni di quanti ne riesca a ricordare, forse più della somma di tutti i vostri anni messi insieme. Re mi hanno definito loro amico e barbari guerrieri hanno giurato di bruciarmi vivo e di darmi la caccia per tutti i sette regni degli Inferi.” Lasciatevi trasportare nei Secoli Bui, a un tempo in cui l’Inghilterra era avvolta nell’ombra, abbandonata dai suoi signori romani. Quando i sassoni iniziano l’invasione, invitati da Vortigern, capo traditore dei Britanni, le tribù devono unirsi per reclamare la terra che appartiene loro di diritto… e uno tra loro dovrà ergersi e farsi incoronare loro legittimo re.

É a véspera do solstício de inverno, e um contador de histórias tece um conto fantástico de sua juventude: “Eu já vivi mais anos do que posso me lembrar, provavelmente mais do que todos os seus anos somados.

Quando os Saxões invadem a convite de Vortigern—líder traidor dos Bretões—as tribos devem se unir para recuperar a terra que veem como seu direito de nascença. E um deles deve se erguer e ser coroado como seu legítimo Rei. Um best-seller da Amazon em Fantasia Arturiana, Terra das Sombras respira nova vida nas lendas que todos nós passamos a conhecer.
