Drowning Instinct (Carolrhoda Ya Ser.)
by Ilsa J. BickThere are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after. (This is not one of those stories.) Jenna Lord's first sixteen years were not exactly a fairy tale. Her father is a controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. She used to count on her older brother—until he shipped off to Iraq. And then, of course, there was the time she almost died in a fire. There are stories where the monster gets the girl, and everyone cries for his innocent victim. (This is not one of those stories either.) Mitch Anderson is many things: A dedicated teacher and coach. A caring husband. A man with a certain...magnetism. And there are stories where it's hard to be sure who's a prince and who's a monster, who is a victim and who should live happily ever after. (These are the most interesting stories of all.) Drowning Instinct is a novel of pain, deception, desperation, and love against the odds—and the rules.

Drowning Towers
by George TurnerFrom the book jacket: Drowning Towers is a bildungsroman, the story of a young boy growing up in a future city that is overpopulated, automated to the point where only the privileged have jobs and decent housing, and being progressively flooded by the rising waters of the world's oceans-a process that brings chaotic weather and worldwide food shortages. This is the gripping, intense, sometimes violent story of life in the face of a long, slow disaster. The novel of the future is becoming a powerful form in the hands of serious writers. Such a book was Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, last year's Arthur C. Clarke winner. Drowning Towers is a masterful novel of character and of SF extrapolation in direct descent from Huxley's Brave New World. Turner's achievement is now of historic magnitude. George Turner's Beloved Son was named one of the five best science fiction novels of the year in Terry Carr's 1979 Year's Best SF. Now, nearly a decade later, Turner has written a science fiction novel that surpasses his previous achievements, a work that places him securely in the company of the world's greatest science fiction writers: Stanislaw Lem, Ursula K. Le Guin, Samuel R. Delany, and their peers. Drowning Towers has just won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award for the best science fiction novel published in the U.K. in 1987, an award endowed by Clarke only two years ago and now the most important SF prize in England. It may be the SF book of the decade!
Drowning Tucson
by Aaron Michael Morales"Morales wrestles with nothing less than the parameters of the human soul."--Luis Alberto UrreaSet in Tucson's toughest neighborhoods during the late 1980s, this explosive debut follows the disintegration of the Nuñez family and the people whose paths they cross. From crooked cops to prostitutes plying their trade along the "Miracle Mile," each person's destiny is linked by crushing poverty, the brutal codes of the street, and the harsh nature of the desert. In this place of drought and flood, "civilization" is every bit as dangerous as its surroundings.Fast-paced and unrelenting, each chapter draws the reader in with the first line and doesn't let go until the heartrending finale. Like a southwest version of HBO's The Wire, this riveting novel is an episodic portrait of a desperate, violent America, populated by characters as lethal as they are sympathetic.Genuinely relevant and never gratuitous, Morales writes about the side of humanity that society fears and ignores. Without judgment, he portrays the lives of young gangbangers, despondent mothers, gay teenage runaways, corrupt preachers, twisted pedophiles, murderous vigilantes, and broken families--all just trying to get by.Born in 1976, Aaron Michael Morales grew up in Tucson. At age ten, he became a paperboy for the Arizona Daily Star and since then his jobs have ranged from working in a car parts factory to bartending in Chicago's Oak Park neighborhood. He currently teaches writing and literature at Indiana State University and is working on his second novel.
Drowning World
by Alan Dean FosterThe Humanx Commonwealth: Book Seven.They call it the Drowning World. It is Fluva, a planet on the fringes of the Commonwealth where it rains torrentially, ceaselessly, and maddeningly for all but one month of the Fluvan year. Chief Administrator Lauren Matthias is fairly new to the position. Her primary goal: keeping Fluva's indigenous species, the warlike Sakuntala, and its immigrant species, the timid but hardworking Deyzara, from annihilating one another. The wettest place on Fluva is Viisiiviisii, an immense, mostly unexplored jungle. Thanks to the endless rains and humid conditions, exotic animals and plants have thrived there, many of them deadly predators. Yet the same evolutionary process responsible for creating toxic creatures has made the jungle a treasure trove of undiscovered botanicals potentially useful in engineering everything from pharmaceuticals to perfumes. A man can get rich there. Or die trying. Bio-prospector Sadrach Hasselemoga has come to the jungle to get rich - if he survives the terrain once his sabotaged ship goes down. When a Sakuntala and a Deyzara are dispatched by Matthias to rescue the unfortunate soul, their ship crashes, too. Now, in order to survive, the three unlikely allies must do something that no one has ever done before: walk out of the Viisiiviisii. Meanwhile, in what passes for civilization, long-simmering tensions between Sakuntala and Deyzara erupt into violence, threatening Matthias's official position of neutrality - and her life. Behind the violence, Matthias detects a mysterious presence, one related to Shadrach's disappearance. But how are the two related? The answer, when it comes, will send shock waves through the entire Commonwealth...and beyond.
