After the extinction of humans, how do you define humanity?

Since the Introdus in the twenty-first century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software. Others opted for gleisners: disposable, renewable robotic bodies that remain in contact with the physical world of force and friction. Many of these have left the solar system forever in fusion-drive starships.

And there are the holdouts: the fleshers left behind in the muck and jungle of Earth-some devolved into dream apes, others cavorting in the seas or the air-while the statics and bridgers try to shape out a roughly human destiny.

But the complacency of the citizens is shattered when an unforeseen disaster ravages the fleshers and reveals the possibility that the polises themselves might be at risk from bizarre astrophysical processes that seem to violate fundamental laws of nature. The orphan Yatima, a digital being grown from a mind seed, joins a group of citizens and flesher refugees in a search for the knowledge that will guarantee their safety-a search that puts them on the trail of the ancient and elusive Transmuters, who have the power to reshape subatomic particles, and to cross into the macrocosmos, where the universe we know is nothing but a speck in the higher-dimensional vacuum.

The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller from the author of A Little Life.

To Paradise is a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the elusive idea of utopia; driven by Hanya Yanagihara’s understanding of our desire to protect those we love – lovers, children, friends, family and even our fellow citizens – and the pain that ensues when we cannot.

In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love as they please (or so it seems).

In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father.

In 2093, in a world torn apart by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist’s damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him – and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearance.

What unites these characters, and these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human – fear, love, shame, loneliness – and the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise.

‘I’m not sure I’ve ever missed the world of a book as much’ – Observer
‘Not only rare . . . revolutionary’ – Michael Cunningham
‘Prepare to weep in public and be utterly transformed’ – Stylist

This exclusive collection includes all three dragon-shifting warrior romances that take place on the frontier moon of Sigg-3:

Jhon:
Will this steely dragon warrior choose duty over love?

Jhon was taken from his family at a young age to become a member of the elite Invicta dragon force. Since that time, he has lived with one purpose, putting his duty to his brothers-in-arms before anything. And now he’s out on the tundra, contending with strange predators, mammoths, and islands that float in the sky. The last thing he has time for is love.

But the feelings Bo’s adoptive mother awakens in his dragon threaten to topple his duty, his self-control, and the very foundation of his sanity.

Rafe:
She’s determined never to be with another man. Can this gorgeous dragon-shifting guard change her mind?

After being tricked into indentured servitude on the pleasure ships, Jade Gatlin is determined to avoid male attention for the rest of her days. The opportunity to adopt a little one and start a new life on a frontier moon, where she can heal the wounds of her tortured soul, sounds almost too good to be true. But the baby shows up in the arms of a rakish dragon guard, who holds Jade’s eyes too long and gives her unwanted shivers at every accidental touch.

Rafe has spent his career as a hotshot pilot for the Invicta dragon army. Handsome, fun-loving, and an ace with the ladies, Rafe is stunned when he realizes the serious Terran girl with the golden hair is his fated mate. And even more stunned when she tells him she’s not interested.

Kian:
Only a tiny baby alien could ever hope to bring together this grumpy, dragon-shifting warrior and the lighthearted pre-school teacher fated to be his mate…

Silent and serious warrior Kian is being forced to leave his brothers-in-arms to watch over an Imberian baby and her adoptive mother. It’s bad enough to feel his ancient heart softening for the little whelp. But after one whiff of the beautiful Terran girl meant to be the baby’s mother, he is wrecked by the knowledge that this is his fated mate.

Their long trek across the frontier moon’s dangerous tundra will threaten their very lives.

But what good is Kian’s life when his soul is caught up in a fight against his nature, as he begs the gods to release him from the bond that pulls him tighter every day to the woman with the sparkling eyes and achingly soft curves?

If you like strong women, sexy aliens, wild adventures, steamy sensual scenes, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love the world of the Alien Adoption Agency!

The Technical (T)Error is a book that transports you to the new age of technology we live in. It delves into an era where everything is effortlessly available and easily accessible. The book highlights the comfort that progressive programming and day-to-day tech upgrades have brought into our lives. But, on the flip side, it also emphasizes how our excessive reliance on technology has rendered our minds less productive, our hearts devoid of emotions, and the human connections fading with each passing day.
Has this tech-savvy world taken a lot from us as humans? Or is it really the way, as technology suggests, for the betterment of society? Technology has always come with a question mark for me – has it been a curse or a boon to society? The interesting aspect is that, without actively seeking answers, we humans have consistently embraced technological advancements with open arms, often without pondering the potential repercussions.
The book makes us think – whether technology has been correctly used as a tool as it is meant to be, or whether we are posing threats to ourselves through over-dependency, ultimately leading to nothing but termination.
The addiction to technology, often under the guise of making life simple, reaches a point of no return, and, unfortunately, there is no rehab for it. And that’s not all; the additional threats associated with this rapidly evolving technology compel us to reflect on the wisdom of our esteemed predecessors who said, ‘Nothing comes easy, and there are no shortcuts to success.’ Isn’t this contrary to today’s lifestyle, largely due to these tech gizmos?
To think is our right, and we should know what and how much is right.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.

Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she’s had about her own strange Cytonic gifts.

The Superiority didn’t stop in it’s fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa’s team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it’s only a matter of time until humanity – and the rest of the galaxy – falls.

Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself – and her friends – in the process.

The final book in the Skyward series will free humanity, or see it fall forever.
