Watermelon Snow
Abenteuerroman von William A. Liggett
Deep within the melting Blue Glacier in the Washington wilderness, climate scientist Dr. Kate Landry makes a remarkable discovery. Needing to conceal it from colleagues eager to steal her work, she must distract the behavioral scientist NASA sends to study her team. From the moment he sets foot on the ice, Dr. Grant Poole finds himself in a strange world of unexpected beauty but fraught with extreme dangers he has tried his whole life to avoid. Greeted with suspicion, he soon realizes Kate is hiding something.
William A. Liggett benutzt seinen wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund, um spannend und unterhaltsam über Klimaveränderung zu schreiben. “Unlike some climate fiction I’ve read, this book seems grounded in very realistic and credible science, from the melting rate of glaciers to the illness which plays an important role. Interesting characters and action, but educational as well. Quick read, and the author doesn’t get bogged down with pedantic preaching.” (Leser) (12 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 240 Seiten – noch gratis?

SciFi von Adrian Tchaikovsky
The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age – a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind’s worst nightmare.

Krimi von Roger Ormerod
For Elsa Mallin, it should have been trip to see her old school friend, Mrs. Clarice Klein, at Kilvennan Castle. But one fateful night, Clarice’s husband Konrad Klein has a deadly accident. Once a world-famous illusionist known as Konrad Klimax, he has since been dropped from the limelight. Up until the accident, he was working on a new illusion – one he hoped would make him famous once more – and it seems that it is this latest trick that accidentally killed him. Whatever it is, it caused Konrad to fall out a window with a sheer drop into the sea below.

Star Cluster Seven
SciFi von Alex Random
Rex Alston was a rising star in Star Fleet Command. The Captain was Star Fleet’s golden boy and had everything he wanted from life when a sudden left-field court martial changed everything. Accused of smuggling, he was sentenced to 20 years of exile despite maintaining his innocence. Exiles have no rights and Alston was forced to eke out a living as a park attendant, constantly chafing under the knowledge that he was framed. But at least he wasn’t exiled to a penal colony, where life expectancy dropped to a couple of years.
