Daughter of Elysium by Joan Slonczewski Regular Ebook $6.99 |
The pristine city of Elysium floats on the water world of Shora, inhabited by 'immortals' who have succeeded in unlocking the secrets of life. Outsider Blackbear Windclan wants to share the secret of immortality with his own people, but can he, and the City of Elysium, survive the corruption and decadence that immortality has bred into the ageless society? And what of the consciousness of self-aware nano-sentient servitors and their quest for vengeance? "An enormously impressive achievement...A marvelous array of cultures presented in astonishing depth"—Kirkus Review "A thoughtful, well-crafted novel"—Publishers Weekly "Masterful story"—Library Journal "Magnificently detailed"—Chicago Sun Times |

Halfway Human by Carolyn Ives Gilman Regular Ebook $5.99 |
A Starflight Reader nominee for best book of the year Tedla is a 'bland,' an asexual class of people that exist only to serve their fellow beings. Val is an expert on alien cultures but has never seen a bland before. They come together after Tedla is found light-years away from its home planet—alone, isolated and suicidal. Val's mission is to help Tedla recover. But the more she learns about the beautiful alien being, the more she discovers about the torment Tedla and its kind suffer on their planet. Little does the rest of the universe know of the hidden world of the blands, a world that hides shocking secrets and unspeakable crimes. Halfway Human is a mesmerizing look at an intricately created alien world which is strange and distant, yet hauntingly familiar. "Beauty, pain, wit, and wisdom all suffuse this powerful novel, as it uses imagined futures to reveal our own world in starkest clarity...and yes, with a whisper of hope." —Locus "The best science fiction novel I've read in a long time"—St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A major new voice in science fiction."—New York Review of Science Fiction |
If you enjoyed Halfway Human, you will probably enjoy these two books by Stephen Leigh. Both authors do an outstanding job of examining gender issues, prejudices, and the concept of being human by looking into a mirror, alien society.

The Arm of the Stone by Victoria Strauss Regular Ebook $4.99 |
Long ago, when the worlds were one... So begins the Tale, the ancestral legend Bron's family has guarded for a thousand years. Once, they were the keepers of the Stone, the most sacred object on earth, from which all the powers of Mind are drawn. But when the conflict between Mind and Hand split the worlds apart, the Stone was seized by an ambitious sorcerer. To keep the new world from contamination, he created rigid Limits circumscribing which tools might be made and which knowledge might be pursued—laws brutally enforced by a group of Guardians known as the Arm of the Stone. For centuries, Bron's family has concealed the secret of its heritage. But when Bron's brother invents a new kind of plow—an unpardonable heresy in the world of the Guardians—the Arm of the Stone reaches in once again to tear them apart. Fleeing for his life, Bron vows revenge. To strike the Guardians down, he will become a Guardian himself. But Bron cannot know how much that choice will change him. Nor does he anticipate the hatred of a powerful enemy, or the love of a beautiful Guardian named Liliane...whose mission is to destroy him. “Treated with unusual depth.”—Locus “An intelligent, fascinating novel...the complicated politics and social structure of this world give it a depth most fantasy novels lack.”—SF Site “Compelling...a most unusual and fascinating novel.”—Anne McCaffrey “A rich story about human nature, this fantasy is a thought-provoking page-turner. The characters are deeply etched, and the plot turns are credible yet arresting...A thoroughly enjoyable read.”—Kliatt |

Barking Dogs by Terence M. Green Regular Ebook $4.99 |
Is your boss lying to you? Your wife? Husband? Is everybody? Suppose you could tell. Absolutely. Suppose you had a Barking Dog. Mitch Helwig is a cop who has gone over the edge. He’s got a Barking Dog—an infallible, illegal lie-detector, worn under street clothes—and he’s tired of being lied to. He’s a criminal’s worst nightmare. “A real page-turner… Not to be missed.” — Locus “The near-future cop-thriller is a growing sub-genre, in which old-time heroes walk the dark and subtly altered mean streets of a cityscape we can all identify from Blade Runner. Barking Dogs is the first novel to turn Toronto into one of those darkly menacing cities.” —The Toronto Star “Weird and wonderful… Green has created a novel that is part cop story and part psychological chiller, and the surprise is that it works on both levels.” — Globe & Mail “Lingers long in the memory.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Likeable, beleaguered characters.” — Publishers Weekly “Green is such an honest and perceptive writer, the book transcends its material.” — Orson Scott Card |
