To Save the Sun
by Ben Bova A. J. AustinAncient Earth is doomed. Its sun will explode, not millions of years hence but in mere lifetimes - violently enough to scour Earth clean and leave the Empire of the Hundred Worlds adrift. For the handful of "primitives" left on Earth are the baseline for humanity's ever-diversifying genetic stock. Every other human world sends regular delegations to check their own genetic pool against "Earth normal". Now the center will hold no longer. The Empire's scientists deem that nothing can be done. The age of heroism is past: this is the long, stagnant afternoon of the human race. Until--over massive opposition--a single young woman makes her way to the Emperor with that rarity, a new scientific insight... and a plan, flowing from its implications, to mobilize humanity's slumbering energies toward a millennium-long effort of applied astrophysics. Of engineering carried out on the hearts of stars. A plan to save the Earth. To save the Sun.

To Shape a Dragon's Breath: The First Book of Nampeshiweisit
by Moniquill BlackgooseNATIONAL BESTSELLER • &“My favorite book of the year . . . a coming-of-age story that is cozy and hair-raising in equal measure.&”—Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post&“I tore through it, caught up in an enthusiasm for dragons that I hadn&’t experienced since I was a teenager obsessed with Ursula Le Guin&’s Earthsea and Anne McCaffrey&’s Pern.&”—NPRA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, PopSugar, Chicago Public Library, Polygon, She Reads, AutostraddleThe remote island of Masquapaug has not seen a dragon in many generations—until fifteen-year-old Anequs finds a dragon&’s egg and bonds with its hatchling. Her people are delighted, for all remember the tales of the days when dragons lived among them and danced away the storms of autumn, enabling the people to thrive. To them, Anequs is revered as Nampeshiweisit—a person in a unique relationship with a dragon. Unfortunately for Anequs, the Anglish conquerors of her land have different opinions. They have a very specific idea of how a dragon should be raised, and who should be doing the raising—and Anequs does not meet any of their requirements. Only with great reluctance do they allow Anequs to enroll in a proper Anglish dragon school on the mainland. If she cannot succeed there, her dragon will be killed. For a girl with no formal schooling, a non-Anglish upbringing, and a very different understanding of the history of her land, challenges abound—both socially and academically. But Anequs is smart, determined, and resolved to learn what she needs to help her dragon, even if it means teaching herself. The one thing she refuses to do, however, is become the meek Anglish miss that everyone expects. Anequs and her dragon may be coming of age, but they&’re also coming to power, and that brings an important realization: the world needs changing—and they might just be the ones to do it.
