Probability Moon (Probability Series #1)
by Nancy KressHumankind has expanded out into interstellar space using star gates-technological remnants left behind by an ancient, long-vanished race. But the technology comes with a price. Among the stars, humanity encountered the Fallers, a strange alien race bent on nothing short of genocide. It's all-out war, and humanity is losing. In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered, inhabited by a pre-industrial race who experience "shared reality"-they're literally compelled to share the same worldview. A team of human scientists is dispatched-but what they don't know is that their mission of first contact is actually a covert military operation. For one of the planet's moons is really a huge mysterious artifact of the same origin as the star gates . . . and it just may be the key to winning the war.
Probability Space (Probability Series #3)
by Nancy KressNancy Kress cemented her reputation in SF with the publication of her multiple-award-winning novella, "Beggars in Spain," which became the basis for her extremely successful Beggars Trilogy (comprising Beggars in Spain , Beggars and Choosers , and Beggars Ride ). And now she brings us Probability Space , the conclusion of the trilogy that began with Probability Moon and then Probability Sun , which is centered on the same world as Kress's Nebula Award-winning novelette, "Flowers of Aulit Prison. " The Probability Trilogy has already been widely recognized as the next great work by this important SF writer. In Probability Space , humanity's war with the alien Fallers continues, and it is a war we are losing. Our implacable foes ignore all attempts at communication, and they take no prisoners. Our only hope lies with an unlikely coalition: Major Lyle Kaufman, retired warrior; Marbet Grant, the Sensitive who's involved with Kaufman; Amanda, a very confused fourteen-year-old girl; and Magdalena, one of the biggest power brokers in all of human space. As the action moves from Earth to Mars to the farthest reaches of known space, with civil unrest back home and alien war in deep space, four humans--armed with little more than an unproven theory--try to enter the Fallers' home star system. It's a desperate gamble, and the fate of the entire universe may hang in the balance.

Proceed With Caution: Stories and a Novella
by Patricia RattoIn the tradition of surrealist masters Julio Cortázar and Leonora Carrington, and joining contemporaries Guadalupe Nettel (Bezoar & Other Unsettling Stories) and Samanta Schweblin (Mouthful of Birds), Argentine writer Patricia Ratto's English language debut collection, Proceed With Caution, offers an alternate reality that is both mysterious and familiar. Whether it's a malevolent act born from the paranoia of living under a totalitarian regime, or the creeping sense of dread blanketing a small whaling town, the stories in Proceed With Caution linger in the memory, and make us question where the natural world ends and the supernatural begins. In "Rara Avis" a baby bird is rescued after dropping from the sky, only to transform from vulnerable creature to life-threatening menace. In the powerfully moving title story, an old woman lives out her final days accompanied by a mysterious doglike being that provides comfort even as it devours her memories. And in the novella "Submerged," an Argentine submarine crew during the Falklands War of the early 1980s navigates its way through a claustrophobic nightmare of boredom and terror, where the very meaning of being alive is cast in doubt. Translated from the Spanish by PEN/Heim award-winner Andrea G. Labinger, Proceed With Caution is a striking collection, brimming with emotion, animal instinct, and a sense of wonder that announces the arrival of a compelling new voice in Latin American literature.
Procession of the Dead (City Trilogy #1)
by Darren ShanPROCESSION OF THE DEAD What had I done before coming to the City? I couldn't remember. It sounded crazy but my past was a blank. I could recall every step since alighting from the train, but not a single one before. Young, quick-witted, and cocksure, Capac Raimi arrives in the City determined to make his mark in a world of sweet, sinister sin. He finds the City is a place of exotic dangers: a legendary assassin with snakes tattooed on his face who moves like smoke, blind Incan priests whom no one seems to see, a kingpin who plays with puppets, and friends who mysteriously disappear as though they never existed. Then Capac crosses paths with The Cardinal, and his life changes forever. The Cardinal is the City, and the City is The Cardinal. They are joined at the soul. Nothing moves on the streets, or below them, without The Cardinal's knowledge. His rule is absolute. When Capac discovers how deeply The Cardinal has influenced his life, he is faced with hard choices that conflict with his soaring ambition. To find his way, Capac must know himself and what he is capable of. But how can you trust yourself when you can't remember your past?
Procyon's Promise
by Michael MccollumFor hundreds of millennia, the Makers' robot probes had slowly crossed space in search of a faster-than-light drive. To each race encountered along the way, the same offer was made--all the Makers' immense knowledge in return for a fast interstellar drive or help in finding one. Among the species that accepted the offer was Mankind. And 24th-Century Earth had been made very comfortable because of it But the Community of Nations was about to learn that a promise is a contract--and the Makers would collect for breach. Then Chryse saw the ship. It was spherical and getting larger by the second. This was no rich man's yacht. If anything, it was the biggest spacecraft she had ever seen. ¯' But its size was hardly worth mentioning when compared to the vessel's obvious peculiarity. For almost as long as men had built spaceships, their craft had ridden on tails of plasma fire yet the newcomer was decelerating with no signs of a drive flare. Whatever shipyard had built the craft, it wouldn't be found anywhere in the Solar System. Mankind, it seemed, was about to welcome its second visitor from the stars.
