A recent amputee removes herself from her body to keep her husband at bay.

Now the Animorphs have to figure out a way to put Rachel back together again. Because if it's up to the "twins," Rachel the weak will surrender to Visser Three. Rachel the super bold will try to single-handedly take him down. And twice the trouble may be twice as much as the other Animorphs and Ax can handle...
The Separation (S.F. MASTERWORKS)
by Christopher PriestTHE SEPARATION is the story of twin brothers, rowers in the 1936 Olympics (where they met Hess, Hitler's deputy); one joins the RAF, and captains a Wellington; he is shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg and becomes Churchill's aide-de-camp; his twin brother, a pacifist, works with the Red Cross, rescuing bombing victims in London. But this is not a straightforward story of the Second World War: this is an alternate history: the two brothers - both called J.L. Sawyer - live their lives in alternate versions of reality. In one, the Second World War ends as we imagine it did; in the other, thanks to efforts of an eminent team of negotiators headed by Hess, the war ends in 1941.THE SEPARATION is an emotionally riveting story of how the small man can make a difference; it's a savage critique of Winston Churchill, the man credited as the saviour of Britain and the Western World, and it's a story of how one perceives and shapes the past.Christopher Priest is a genre-leading author of SFF fiction. His novel, THE PRESTIGE, won a number of awards and was adapted into a critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film directed by Christopher Nolan (TENET, INCEPTION) starring Hugh Jackman (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, X-MEN), Christian Bale (THE BIG SHORT, BATMAN BEGINS), Michael Caine (THE ITALIAN JOB) and Scarlett Johansson (MARRIAGE STORY, THE AVENGERS).

by D. P. Prior Selene SilvaDurante siglos, nadie escuchó nada de lo que sucedía fuera de Verusia, la oscuridad acechaba en el centro del imperio Templum. Pero cuando un mensajero llegó a la Sagrada Ciudad de Aeterna, trajo consigo noticias sobre las fortalezas que fueron abandonadas de manera misteriosa, y los trescientos soldados de las afueras de Trajinot, fueron empalados justo fuera de los muros de la ciudad, lo que significaba que el Lord Lich estaba nuevamente en movimiento. Con un ejército de muertos, este esperaba entre las sombras oscuras de los árboles de Schwarzwald. Los Templum envían a sus tropas para enfrentarlos. El Capitán Daecon Shader lidera al Séptimo Caballo, una tropa de caballería pesada que ahora parece ser obsoleta. Un cargo, una oportunidad en su lema. Actúa a tiempo y la corriente de cualquier batalla podrá revertirse; comete un error y todo llegará a su fin. Cuando las dos fuerzas se enfrentan fuera de los muros de Trajinot, no solo serán las hordas de los muertos a quienes los Templum deberán confrontar. Horrores y venenos que corren por el aire atraerán pánico a los guerreros. Solo los Caballeros Elegidos del Séptimo Caballo tienen la disciplina para mantenerse firmes; enfrentar solo al miedo no es sinónimo de salir sin daños, y para Shader, hay cosas peores que las heridas en la piel.
