Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for August 20, 2023

A different kind of alien invasion story. An isolated valley in the middle of a sparsely populated continent is the perfect place to build a mine and foundry to produce raw materials for an orbiting shipyard. The little, furry locals are too primitive to even notice. Everything went fine until the natives collapsed the mine and blew up a few buildings. The League of Free Cadorie pits a gentle agrarian people against aliens bent on striping their natural resources.

In the year 2031, scientists have declared reincarnation reality, and legally sanctioned death houses have sprouted up like mushrooms in overcrowded, pollution-choked cities. Those so-called ‘Last Resorts’ provide the paying guest with the tools for a successful exit from life, with only one simple rule – once a customer is checked in, the check-out is feet-first only.

Ansel Grayson has been a resident at the Hotel Terminus for 12 years, unable to take the final step. On the day he finally works up the nerve to check out, he’s interrupted by the most recent addition to the guest list. Ansel and Nikki, broken by life and with their final check-outs looming, find themselves drawn into each other’s orbits and trying to discover a reason to live, certain they will have to die.
