Cast in Steel, Carved in Stone
by Christine W. MurphyCast in Steel, Carved in Stone... ancient words he doesn't understand define Mikkel's existence. What he does understand is that his life depends on Yule, a planet that threatens to explode beneath his feet if he doesn't produce an heir. In exchange for her world's safety, Katheryna consents to marry this stranger from Yule with a wardrobe more colorful than hers. She's even willing to put up with his all night meetings and dancing with tourists. But when Mikkel starts showing up battered and bruised, and she discovers he's been consorting with spies, she has to intervene. Even if it means betraying her husband in the arms of a bandit with a wicked kiss she can't forget. Mikkel isn't a diplomat, not even a good conversationalist, but he does control the one piece of real estate where Emperor Thane has consented to hold a peace conference. If he can keep Yule from blowing the delegates into tiny pieces, all Mikkel will have to worry about is how to tell his wife that he knows her secrets...and he loves her anyway.

by David McDonaldGuardians of the Galaxy: Castaways is the thrilling new adventure featuring Marvel's swashbuckling heroes Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and the ever-charming Star-Lord himself, Peter Quill. After a series of missions—some successful, others less so, and most nearly getting everyone killed—the Guardians of the Galaxy are at a breaking point when they crash-land on a strange planet. With no way to repair their ship, the frustrated Guardians go their separate ways, quickly discovering that the planet's inhabitants have never progressed past a medieval stage of development. Quill finds himself a favored member of a powerful duke's court (as well as a favorite of the duke's daughter), and life seems just fine under the circumstances . . . until the duchy comes under attack. When Quill reckons that their foe may be what's keeping the planet's civilization from advancing, he realizes that defeating it—with the Guardians' help—may be their only hope for getting off of that world. . . If he can find his friends in time.

Sent off on an eternal journey of their own, the boy and his dog roam the earth through out the centuries in search of those in need. Braving wind and waves and countless perils, they stumble across a 19th-century village whose very existence is at stake. Saving it will take the will and wile of all the people--and a very special boy and dog. "The swashbuckling language brims with color and melodrama; the villains are dastardly and stupid; and buried treasure, mysterious clues, and luscious culinary descriptions (generally involving sweets) keep the pages turning."
