Turn Left at Thursday
by Frederik PohlFrederik Pohl is a very fine fellow--fondly known in science fiction circles for the social commentary in the satires he has written in collaboration with C. M. Kornbluth, and under his own authorship. Aficionados know also that Pohl's science fiction is strictly non-fantastic--in fact even old-fashioned in its adherence to the rules of the game. But when Pohl does get into fantasy, he goes way out, giving the imagination full rein. And his imagination is rare, rich and ribald. The stories in this collection include: Mars by Moonlight; The Richest Man in Levitown; The Seven Deadly Virtues; The Martian in the Attic; Third Offense; The Hated; I Plinglot, Who You?

Turn to Darkness (Offspring #7)
by Jaime RushThe next installment in the Offspring series. Shea is used to taking care of herself. She has special powers, and she knows how to use them. She's pushed away the ugliness of her past, just like she pushed away Greer, the only man who had ever reached beyond her defenses. All Greer wants is to love Shea, though that comes at a high price for him: as a shapeshifter, once he takes her as his mate, he'll never be able to let go. So maybe it's for the best that she's made it clear she is not interested in anything romantic. But when Shea's traumatic past combines with a new danger, nothing will stop Greer from protecting the woman he loves, even if it means losing any chance he has of a future with her.
