But even as these forces give hope to those who would live in peace, a terrible danger looms: a traitor with Imperial ambitions, the most dreaded, least anticipated threat of all…In the unfolding drama of political upheaval and violent change, nothing is certain, as alliances dissolve and power shifts with the unpredictability of a desert sandstorm.

Traição entre Lobisomens
by Vianka Van Bokkem Fabrício Lopes RochaMeus pais e eu pertencíamos ao clã lobisomem de Sergei. Nós morávamos perto da fronteira entre Rússia e Alasca. Quando Sergei, nosso macho alfa , anunciou que estava levando o clã para o Alasca, fiquei confusa. Nosso novo vilarejo parecia o mesmo em que morávamos na Rússia. Alguns meses mais tarde, eu estava à caça de linces, leões da montanha, alces e ursos polares. Uma noite, senti vontade de ir para meu local favorito, próximo ao rio; saí furtivamente da cabana onde meus pais estavam dormindo. Eu me transformei em lobisomem fêmea e comecei a correr em direção ao rio. A neve recém-caída me me fez muito feliz. Meia hora mais tarde, cheguei ao meu destino: uma das minhas árvores prediletas tinha um buraco na parte inferior, e eu guardava roupas de frio ali. Quando terminei de me vestir, eu escalei a árvore e me sentei em um de seus galhos. Caía neve das àrvores à minha volta; o rio estava congelado mas, mesmo assim, eu ainda gostava dele. Um par de coelhos fazia buracos por perto. Eu era meio que uma solitária, e meu comportamento era visto como estranho pelos outros, mas não para mim. De repente, ouvi um vozerio e risadas. Eu avistei uma garota morena fugindo de um grupo de garotos. Ela era extremamente rápida; segundos depois, o aroma de lobisomem fêmea me indicou sua localização.

Tranquility Moon: A Freedom from Violence Science Fiction Fantasy
by Tom SkoreIt was an unsettling week for Paul Connors onboard the International Space Station. A shooting at his son's high school left the astronaut feeling he was safer in space than his son felt in the classroom. This revelation became all the more significant when at week's end Paul found himself inexplicably on the Moon and greeted by an alien seeking his support in bringing an end to violence on Earth. Paul Connors never imagined he would one day be spokesperson for humankind's first encounter with aliens. But he was also a responsible citizen of Earth, and fear over the aliens' intentions was fueling a worldwide crisis for which Paul felt responsible. But what to do? Could the alien plan really get humankind past its dependency on violence to solve its problems, or would it only serve to make matters worse? Most importantly, was world peace even a remote possibility? “It's so hard to help your child make sense of senselessness when you can't even do it for yourself.”

Transcendence
by Charles SheffieldThe Zardalu were the greatest menace ever known to the worlds of the spiral arm, enslaving entire races and exterminating others, guided by an unswerving belief in their own supremacy. Then their slaves rose up against them, and for eleven thousand years the Zardalu had been extinct and the spiral arm had known a kind of peace.But now the Zardalu are back . . .The search for the Builders, the legendary alien race whose unfathomable constructs continued to perplex scholars and explorers alike, had led Builder expert Darya Lang, adventurer Hans Rebka, and treasure hunters Louis Nenda and Atvar H'sial to an unknown Builder artifact far outside the spiral arm. There they found the Zardalu - just a few who had been trapped in stasis all those millennia, held there for purposes known only to the Builders. And in the struggle that ensued the Zardalu had been set loose, transported by Builder technology to to galactic parts unknown - free to ravage any world and any race within their grasp. The only chance to eliminate the Zardalu threat was to find them and wipe them out before they had time to breed back up to strength and once again threaten civilized beings everywhere. The problem was that no one believed the story. Only Darya Land and her companions had actually seen the aliens - and no evidence existed to support their claims. And so the course seemed clear: get a ship themselves and search out the Zardalu. But the way would not be easy. Even once they managed to locate the Zardalu, they still had the Builders to deal with. For the closer they got to their quarry, the more clear it became that the Zardalu and their world were closely entwined with the fate - and the plans - of the Builders themselves.

Transcendent
by Stephen BaxterStephen Baxter's gripping page-turners are feats of bold speculation and big ideas that, for all their time-and-space-spanning grandeur, remain firmly rooted in scientific fact and cutting-edge theory. Now Baxter is back with the final volume in his monumental Destiny's Children trilogy, a tour de force in which parallel stories unfold-and then meet as humanity stands poised on the brink of divine providence . . . or extinction. DESTINY'S CHILDREN TRANSCENDENT It is the year 2047, and nuclear engineer Michael Poole is still in the throes of grief. His beloved wife, Morag, died seventeen years ago, along with their second child. Yet Michael is haunted by more than just the memory of Morag. On a beach in Miami, he sees his dead wife. But she vanishes as suddenly as she appears, leaving no clue as to her mysterious purpose. Alia was born on a starship, fifteen thousand light years from Earth, five hundred thousand years after the death of Michael Poole. Yet she knows him intimately. In this distant future, when humanity has diversified as a species and spread across the galaxy, every person is entrusted with the duty of Witnessing the life of one man, woman, or child from the past, recovered by means of a technology able to traverse time itself. Alia's subject is Michael Poole. When his surviving, estranged son is injured, Michael tries to reconnect with him-and to stave off a looming catastrophe. Vast reservoirs of toxic gases lie buried beneath the poles, trapped in crystals of ice. Now that ice is melting. Once it goes, the poisons released will threaten all life on Earth. A bold solution is within reach, if only Michael can convince a doubting world. Yet as Morag's ghostly visitations continue, Michael begins to doubt his own sanity. In the future, Alia is chosen to become a Transcendent, an undying member of the group mind that is shepherding humanity toward an evolutionary apotheosis. The Witnessings are an integral part of their design, for only by redeeming the pain of every human who has lived and died can true Transcendence be achieved. Yet Alia discovers a dark side to the Transcendents' plans, a vein of madness that may lead to an unthinkable renunciation. Somehow, Michael Poole holds the fate of the future in his hands. Now, to save that future, Alia must undertake a desperate journey into the past. . . . From the Hardcover edition.
