NEW POMPEII
DANIEL GODFREY
In the near future, energy giant Novus Particles develops the technology to transport objects and people from the deep past to the present. Their biggest secret: New Pompeii. A replica of the city hidden deep in central Asia, filled with Romans pulled through time a split second before the volcano erupted.
Historian Nick Houghton doesn’t know why he’s been chosen to be the company’s historical advisor. He’s just excited to be there. Until he starts to wonder what happened to his predecessor. Until he realizes that NovusPart have more secrets than even the conspiracy theorists suspect. Until he realizes that NovusPart have underestimated their captives…

ESCAPOLOGY
REN WAROM
Shock Pao is not just any Haunt—he’s the best. In the virtual world the Slip there isn’t a system that he can’t crack into, no virtual lock he can’t pick, nothing he can’t steal for the right price. Outside the Slip, though, he’s a Fail—no degree, no job, no affiliations to protect him from angry ex-customers. Of which he has quite a few. These days he takes any job offered and wastes his money on subdermal amphetamines, living for the day when he can get out of his eight-person dorm room and into a beautiful house in Sendai, where he lived at the height of his success. So when his ex comes around with a simple-enough job, breaking into a corporate databank, he accepts—it’s either that, or find himself a nice bench to sleep under. But what she wants stolen turns out to be something else entirely, something that holds the entire Slip together—and Shock finds himself in the crosshairs of a battle that has been fought unseen, both in the Slip and in the gang warrens of the city.

VIRTUES OF WAR
BENNETT R. COLES
Lieutenant Katja Emmes is assigned to the fast-attack craft Rapier, joining a mission to investigate weapons smuggling activity between the Terran colonies of Sirius and Centauria. If true, this act of rebellion could escalate rapidly, and lead to all-out war. When combat does erupt, its ferocity stuns the Terran forces, and pushes them to their limits. It tests the abilities of Lieutenant Emmes, as well, along with Sublieutenant Jack Mallory and Lieutenant Commander Thomas Kane, commanding officer of the Rapier. But failure is not acceptable. They must defeat the enemy… by whatever means necessary.
“A delicious streak of subversion.”

KOKO THE MIGHTY
KIERAN SHEA
Five hundred years from now, ex-corporate mercenary Koko Martstellar is swaggering through an easy early retirement as a brothel owner on The Sixty Islands, a manufactured tropical resort archipelago known for its sex and simulated violence. Surrounded by slang drooling boywhores and synthetic komodo dragons, Koko finds the most challenging part of her day might be deciding on her next drink. That is, until her old comrade Portia Delacompte sends a squad of security personnel to murder her.
