Book Description
Reissue originally published 1997 Maggie Winthrop honestly would’ve remembered if she’d met Chuck Della Croce before. He’s outrageously tall, dark, and handsome—and completely naked—as he pounds on her backdoor, calling for her to let him in. He know things about Maggie that he shouldn’t. And when he tells he’s a time-traveler, and that they’re close friends seven years in the future, she’s ready to call the police. But Maggie’s future is Chuck’s past, and he has the ability to foretell events—and he convinces her that he’s not completely crazy. In fact, he’s there to enlist her aid in talking himself—the seven years younger version of himself—out of developing his theories for time travel. A rogue agency has hijacked his time machine and are using it to overthrow the U.S. Government. Chuck had never intended for time travel to be used as a deadly weapon, but a team of killers is already hot on his heels, chasing him across time to make sure his mission fails. Chuck’s got one chance to set things right—but he didn’t count on getting a do-over to win Maggie’s heart. He’s willing to sacrifice everything for this woman that he’s quietly loved for years. And Maggie’s head spins as she realizes that she’s falling for two men: Charles Della Croce, who lives in her timeline, and his life-hardened counterpart—the man from the future who calls himself Chuck... Set in 1997, Time Enough for Love is a full length novel of 54K words or 212 pages, originally published in 1997, by Bantam Loveswept.

For Us, The Living

ISBN: 0743261577

Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
From Grandmaster Robert A. Heinlein comes a long-lost first novel, written in 1939 and never before published, introducing ideas and themes that would shape his career and define the genre that is synonymous with his name. July 12, 1939: Perry Nelson is driving along the palisades when suddenly another vehicle swerves into his lane, a tire blows out, and his car careens off the road and over a bluff. The last thing he sees before his head connects with the boulders below is a girl in a green bathing suit, prancing along the shore.... When he wakes, the girl in green is a woman dressed in furs and the sun-drenched shore has transformed into snowcapped mountains. The woman, Diana, rescues Perry from the bitter cold and takes him inside her home to rest and recuperate. Later they debate the cause of the accident, for Diana is unfamiliar with the concept of a tire blowout and Perry cannot comprehend snowfall in mid-July. Then Diana shares with him a vital piece of information: The date is now January 7. The year...2086. When his shock subsides, Perry begins an exhaustive study of global evolution over the past 150 years. He learns, among other things, that a United Europe was formed and led by Edward, Duke of Windsor; former New York City mayor LaGuardia served two terms as president of the United States; the military draft was completely reconceived; banks became publicly owned and operated; and in the year 2003, two helicopters destroyed the island of Manhattan in a galvanizing act of war. This education in the ways of the modern world emboldens Perry to assimilate to life in the twenty-first century. But education brings with it inescapable truths—the economic and legal systems, the government, and even the dynamic between men and women remain alien to Perry, the customs of the new day continually testing his mental and emotional resolve. Yet it is precisely his knowledge of a bygone era that will serve Perry best, as the man from 1939 seems destined to lead his newfound peers even further into the future than they could have imagined. A classic example of the future history that Robert Heinlein popularized during his career, For Us, The Living marks both the beginning and the end of an extraordinary arc of political, social, and literary crusading that comprises his legacy. Heinlein could not have known in 1939 how the world would change over the course of one and a half centuries, but we have our own true world history to compare with his brilliant imaginings, rendering For Us, The Living not merely a novel, but a time capsule view into our past, our present, and perhaps our future. The novel is presented here with an introduction by acclaimed science fiction writer Spider Robinson and an afterword by Professor Robert James of the Heinlein Society.

Book Description
Emma Hendricks........Zach OwensShe's 15.......He's 18She's experienced nothing... He's experienced the world...What happens when their worlds collide? Never allowed to date, will the relationship survive Emma's overly-protective, older brother and his friends? And what happens when his past is revealed and she discovers he's on probation. Even if she accepts it, she must lie to her parents and those around her. She's always been... Just one of the boys... and now a man sees her as so much more... Can she convince him that she is old enough to love?Old Enough to Love is the story of Emma Hendricks, or Runt as she's known to her older brother and his friends. Emma-born prematurely has always been physically smaller than other girls. Protected by a posse of guys, led by her brother, she's pretty much off limits as dating material for anyone in their small high school-until Zach Owens, a senior from San Francisco moves to the small town of Ashland, Oregon and is oblivious to the unspoken rule. Emma, an inexperienced fifteen-year-old, is smitten with Zach and the undeniable attraction brewing between them. She attempts to compete with the older girls to maintain Zach's affections and believes she is ready to take the relationship to the next level. Though she is eager to easily bid her virginity farewell; she misunderstands his hesitations. Zach is on twelve months supervised probation and caught a lucky break the first time around. He adamantly refuses to participate in any activity that would lead to juvenile detention, and he is frightened he'll lose Emma if specific information about his past is revealed. Zach and Emma uncover blooming passionate emotions while discovering first time love, all the while reining in nearly uncontrollable desires. Meanwhile, their biggest obstacles are the battle with her brother, her brother's buddies and Zach's elusive past.

Book Description
1. Heinlein wrote an amazing string of novels which made the New York Times best seller list and shipped over a million copies each, including Time Enough for Love, The Number of the Beast, Friday, Job: A Comedy of Justice, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, and To Sail Beyond the Sunset. 2. Over 25 million Heinlein books are in print in the U.S. alone. For over four decades, his Stranger in a Strange Land has been, not just one of the top-selling science fiction novels, but one of the top-selling novels, period. 3. Stephen King has called Heinlein “Not only America’s premier writer of speculative fiction, but the greatest writer of such fiction in the world.” And Dean Koontz agrees: “If there is any single author who defines science fiction, it is Robert Heinlein . . . there is no other writer whose work has exhilarated me as often and to such an extent as Heinlein.” 4. Advertising in Locus, more. 5. Includes teaser chapter for Heinlein’s The Puppet Masters (trade paperback, 08/09). 6. Cover by Hugo-winning artist Bob Eggleton pays homage to classics science fiction book covers. 7. Heinlein backlist discounts. The Earth is crowded and food is rationed, but a colony on Ganymede, one of the moons of Jupiter, offers an escape for teenager Bill Lermer and his family. Back on Earth, the move sounded like a grand adventure, but Bill soon realizes that life on the frontier is dangerous, and in an alien world with no safety nets, nature is cruelly unforgiving of even small mistakes. Bill’s new home is a world of unearthly wonders—and heartbreaking tragedy. He will face hardships, survive dangers, and grow up fast, meeting the challenge of opening up a new world for humanity and finding strengths within himself that he had never suspected existed.
