Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for October 6, 2021

I’m Sophia Henley, your typical college freshman. I never expected a lion to be stalking me, nor for fire to come shooting out of my hands to protect my sister. Next thing I know, a drop-dead gorgeous guy shows up on my doorstep to sweep me away to a magical school, where I’ll learn to control my element and bond with a powerful creature called a Familiar.

I don’t believe I’m the savior of an ancient tribe, or the missing piece of a prophecy that’s more myth than reality. Worst of all, I’m forced to enter the Elemental Cup, where I’ll either earn my place in this society… or die trying.

A mysterious star could bring stability to her world…or lead her to a blistering end.

Quiet and introverted twelve-year-old Sam Sanderson is comfortable living a simple life on her family’s peaceful farm. That is, until a mysterious visitor arrives one night, thrusting her on a formidable and dangerous journey across galaxies.

With little direction and no training manual, her mission is to find the elusive Hopewell Star to save a dying planet. But with time running out, a destructive business mogul tracking her every move, and deadly disasters threatening her community, she’ll have to rely on her wits, courage, and friends to make things right and restore peace to both worlds…all while surviving seventh grade.

“A compelling mystery set in a superbly-constructed future world.” – A Wishing Shelf Book Review

When Doug Michaels finds his friend dead in 2068, he builds a mental landscape, a retroscape, to find the killer.

But as suspects appear, they disappear almost as quickly. It’s not the aftereffects of an illness sensationalized in the media as the “zombie pandemic”. It’s not an evil artificial intelligence intent on taking over the world. It’s not his friend’s machine-intelligence wife, Julia, even if she can’t even remember his final days.

And when his retroscape is finished, Doug finds the killer … in one of the most unlikely of places.
