The Living
by Anna StarobinetsA truly enthralling, disturbing anti-utopian fantasy novel that will have readers gripped from page one. After a global catastrophe called the Great Reduction, the number of people living on Earth has become fixed, remaining a constant 3 billion. The concept of death no longer exists, and instead, people are reborn anywhere on the planet with an in-code that keeps track of information about all their previous incarnations. Humankind is no longer individual— people are only particles making up one composite organism called The Living. The particles of The Living live happily and die happily, according to a government-determined schedule. All of society is connected directly from the brain to the social network (Socio), and family and country are now of no importance. Society is global, and attachment to parents and children is denounced as a deviation. Yet, there is one man born without an in-code— a spare human being. His birth increases the number of The Living by one, which threatens global harmony. Who is Zero and how will The Living survive?

The Living God (A Handful of Men #4)
by Dave DuncanThe final volume in the Aurora Award–winning author&’s epic fantasy series. &“Duncan&’s plots add up and his characters have personalities&” (Kirkus Reviews). War had engulfed the whole world. The imposter imperor ruling in Hub was the tool of the paranoid and almighty sorcerer Xinixo, who wielded the combined power of thousands of sorcerer slaves. And yet, despite his seeming omnipotence, the pathetic few who resisted him were still at liberty, even making a little progress. Xinixo&’s prime foe, Rap of Krasnegar, had rallied troll sorcerers to the cause and was about to try enlisting the incomprehensible elves. Fortunately, for his sanity, he did not know that his daughter, Kadie, had been carried off by goblin invaders or that his son, Gath, was heading for stark Nordland to deal with the fearsome jotnar, or that his wife, Inos, was in Guwash, negotiating with gnomes. Shandie, the rightful imperor, was with her, unaware that his wife, Impress Eshiala, believed him dead and had fled with Signifer Ylo, that notorious rake. And none of them knew about the sorcerers of Thume, especially the rebel pixie girl, Thaïle, who chafed against the secret binding of a thousand years. But the odds were still impossible and Longday was fast approaching. The sorcerers of the world foretold blood on Longday.
