by Becca JamesonZeke is the fifth person to be reanimated after being cryonically preserved for ten years.But he wakes up to a world that resents his very existence.Everything he worked for is in danger of being destroyed.The last thing he needs is a well-meaning scientist with her own agenda.Michelle would rather work with anyone besides the surly scientist she’s been partnered with.The man desperately needs an attitude adjustment.Too bad his penetrating glares also manage to hit a long-buried place inside her.It doesn’t matter because there’s no way she’s going to enter a relationship with a coworker.And after his disastrous marriage, he has no interest in letting any woman get under his skin.Even in their standoff, sparks fly.Eventually they will have to face the truth because curing disease isn’t their only job these days.Staying one step ahead of whoever would rather see them dead is equally important.They need each other, and it would be much easier if they could get along.Even better if they could find a way to let the other into their hearts.
Revolt in 2100
by Robert A. HeinleinSet in Robert A. Heinlein's Future History universe, REVOLT IN 2100 includes two novellas, "If This Goes On--" and "Coventry," the story "Misfit," Heinlein's "Future History Letter Essay" and the "Concerning Stories Never Written" Postscript. "IF THIS GOES ON--" The Second American Revolution unfolds in the course of this novel where John Lyle, West Point graduate and now a guard at the Prophet's stronghold, comes to realize that "secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy... censorship." After he joins an underground movement to overthrow the U.S. government, John learns much along the way about courage, subversion -- (a fellow conspirator tells him, "There is magic in words, black magic--if you know how to invoke it") - and sacrifice. "Coventry" takes place years after America's Second Revolution and posits a benevolent but strongly monitored new society, with its own rules and surveillance arm. "Misfit" concerns a young genius who averts disaster in a mission to bring a small asteroid closer to Earth. The author's essay about Future History stories he won't write provides an entertaining look at Heinlein's richly imagined world.

Revolutions in Time
by Jonathan DunnThe author of this book donated a digital copy to Bookshare.org. Join us in thanking Jonathan Dunn for providing his accessible digital book to this community. The Revolutions of Time is a "timeless" philosophical thriller / science fiction novel. Its premise is this: Time flows in a circular motion, repeating itself in "seasons" that are much like a year on earth, similar time periods with the same general events. Because of these revolutions, the geological record shows not the immediate past, but the events of the last "season" or age, making the fossils and formations show what will happen rather than what has happened. Jehu is transported to the end of his age by the mysterious Lord of the Past, and finds himself caught in the middle of a society at war over how to divert the Big Bang that is foretold by their geologists. What follows is, as they say, history.

Revulsion: Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador
by Horacio Castellanos Moya Lee KleinThe 1997 novel that put Horacio Castellanos Moya on the map, now published for the first time in EnglishAn expatriate professor, Vega, returns from exile in Canada to El Salvador for his mother's funeral. A sensitive idealist and an aggrieved motor mouth, he sits at a bar with the author, Castellanos Moya, from five to seven in the evening, telling his tale and ranting against everything his country has to offer. Written in a single paragraph and alive with a fury as astringent as the wrath of Thomas Bernhard, Revulsion was first published in 1997 and earned its author death threats. Roberto Bolaño called Revulsion Castellanos Moya's darkest book and perhaps his best: "A parody of certain works by Bernhard and the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud."
