Book Description
The Solar System's fate rests on the shoulders of one, insignificant woman... Melanie Destin has attracted the wrong kind of attention. The Jovian Collective is looking for her. They have a job that only she can do, and nobody turns them down if they know what's good for them. Carson Willis has set in motion the final steps to bring down the Collective. If he succeeds, his mysterious employer is set to become the single most powerful economic power in the solar system, and an interplanetary conflict between Terra and Mars will be all but assured. Mel's job is to stop him. But she believes his plans hide a far more nefarious objective that frightens her far more than the shadow of war; one that will place the psychopathic Willis, in control of the entire solar system. But nobody will listen to her. Abandoned by her friends and allies, Mel is left to her own resources to stop Willis. With the clock running out, and her enemy closing in on her, she has one impossible chance to prevent a remorseless killer from becoming the most tyrannical despot in history.

Book Description
This volume collects both essays and fictional material around two core topics in the long career of the Serbian writer, essayist, researcher, publisher and translator. The first topic - first contact - is chiefly represented by his comprehensive essay on "The Theme of First Contact in the SF Works of Arthur C. Clarke" and reflected on the literary level with his short stories "The Bookshop" and "The Puzzle". Two shorter essays on the second topic - time travel in SF literature - introduce, amongst others, the well-known and fascinating mosaic novel Time Gifts, which skillfully explores the more literary side of the notions of past, present and future. In the annotations the author provides insights into his take on the subjects presented.

Book Description
The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome tells the story of 2200 years of the use and misuse of the idea of Roman decline by ambitious politicians, authors, and autocrats as well as the people scapegoated and victimized in the name of Roman renewal. It focuses on the long history of a way of describing change that might seem innocuous, but which has cost countless people their lives, liberty, or property across two millennia.

Book Description
The story starts with friends Ahma and Jovian who, like most humans, have fallen on terrible luck. There’s nothing special about these two or humanity in general. The dystopian, grey world the men live in is held tightly in the grip of overpopulation. People are subsisting and not much more. The friends have nothing to look forward to until they happen to find the Church of All Nonbelievers. What’s the guiding principle of this somewhat sacrilegious institution? As the book states, “GOD IS NOT INDEBTED TO THE UNIVERSE AND TIME—WE ARE INDEBTED TO OUR GOD.” Enter a paranormal being who offers Ahma and Jovian the chance to rise above their meager existence. The offer comes with a warning. Should the two mess up the opportunity, they’ll bring their own ruination. The story leads the friends down a winding path that is one half The Matrix and another half Heresy. In the end, the men find out their ties run deeper than ever thought, the government’s guiding hand in their lives more invasive, and the lines between religion and science so completely blurred that both begin to look like futuristic psychology.

He became one of the most wanted by the law and associates from his criminal life. Everything one day caught up with him and he was off to jail for a very long time. He had been shot, stabbed, and left for dead many times and was tired of running. But he got another chance. His story is about how he wound up on a path of self-destruction. And survived. The broken roads and redemption. His life is a testimony of the power of prayer and God’s unfailing love that finally set him Free.

Book Description
Saving his sister’s life means facing magic that could destroy his. Jovian Neferis is content to live a life free of magic. Talk of angels, demons, and sorcerers is little more than myth. It certainly isn't anything as close to him as his own family. Or so he thinks. That is, until his sisters exhibit gifts of prophecy and sorcery. When his sister Amber is abducted, his remaining sisters and he give chase. Their journey across the Great Realms is filled with danger, intrigue, and magic. With every step they unearth more mystery surrounding their family. With every turn, Jovian questions what he's always believed. But something far worse than myths and legends awaits. An ancient darkness has risen, and its goal is the total destruction of his family. The Bonds of Blood is the first in an epic sword and sorcery adventure brimming with dark magic, majestic elves, and wistful fae.
