    Psychiatric nurse Phoebe Bernhardt loves her youngest brother with all her heart. When he becomes one of the first victims of a bizarre epidemic of paranoia and aggression, Phoebe will stop at nothing to save him. She'll even work with the strange, antisocial woman who literally crashed into her life. The stranger, a software engineer named Mila, blames the plague on technology... but she's hiding something. Is Mila a possible path to a cure - or is she the cause of it all? Or will she just prove to be indifferent to the fates of thousands of people, including Phoebe's brother?

  • Addleton Heights

    $15.00$25.00

    George Wright Padgett

    Addleton Heights is a steampunk novel for everyone (even those who don't know what steampunk is!). It's witty, fun, exciting and inventive, and is packed with characters you really care about. George Wright Padgett hits all the right notes!

    Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of Ghostwalkers and Patient Zero

    New Year's Eve 1901: Six hundred feet above the Atlantic Ocean, the platform city of Addleton Heights balances on massive, soot-covered metal stilts. A grisly double murder interrupts the party in the floating mansion of the city's most powerful man, and for reasons unknown, he coerces detective-for-hire T.H. Kipsey into taking the enigmatic case. George Wright Padgett weaves a cat-and-mouse mystery through a steampunk, alternate-American history that will thrill readers of Cherie Priest's Boneshaker and Christopher Beats's steam-noir Magnocracy series. Join Kip as he races against time to unravel the clues that will thrust him across the city, up to the clouds, and into the depths beneath Addleton Heights.
    • Great for even new readers to the steampunk genre
    • Some adult themes

    Firefly with aliens, Star Wars without the force . . . and a dash of the American Revolution. "I like a little rebellion now and then...The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." — Thomas Jefferson Unlike her brother, Saracasi Ocaitchi has always known that her loyalties belong to the ideals of freedom and democracy, not the government of the Alliance, and that protecting those ideals would require a fight. But now that the rebellion she has dreamed about has finally begun, she must come to terms with what that truly means: for herself, for her brother, and for all of the people who will die in the coming war.

    $10.00$19.00

    Readers' Favorite 5 star logoLeon Berger

    Tense, authentic, compelling - a tumultuous 24 hours in Beijing, as witnessed by those involved. Each year, howling winds from the Gobi send desert grit swirling into Beijing which then mixes with the existing pollution, causing fluorescent yellow skies and toxic, throat-burning smog. On one such day in March, youthful activists decide to gather in Tiananmen Square right outside the Great Hall of the People where the National Congress is in session. They are understandably fearful of what can happen to protesters in China but none could have predicted the unthinkable scenario and far-reaching climax which takes place during that single 24 hour period.
    • Based on true experience: During his many years in Beijing, the author experienced every aspect of that vast city, including the climatic conditions described.
