Start something new this weekend

Check-in time.  We're almost halfway through January...have you ditched your New Year's Resolutions yet?  If your resolution is to start something new, or even to save money, then you should be doubly excited to hear about this.  As part of the Barnes & Noble "First in Series" promotion you can get the below series starters for only $2.99 each until Monday January 18th!

"This is space opera at its best -- simultaneously pulse-pounding and mind-expanding. [He] is the twenty-first century's master of excitement and adventure. Enjoy!" - Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Red Planet Blues The Dead Enders are a team of military heroes who only take the most impossible missions in a galactic war between humans and an alien race. Clone a high-ranking general, infiltrate the enemy fortress, and escape without getting caught? Just another day in the office.

"Sword of the Bright Lady is an exciting new take on the modern-man-meets-magic conflict -- it's a how-to guide for surviving in a world of gods and monsters." - Dave Gross, author of Prince of Wolves Christopher Sinclair, a contemporary man from Earth, will overthrow the entire social and political system of a fantasy world he accidentally entered in order to return home to his wife.

"Peopled with compelling characters, filled with action and intrigue, set in a fascinating world at the boundary between history and legend, Grudgebearer is a gripping and ultimately satisfying novel. Highly recommended." - D. B. Jackson, author of the Thieftaker Chronicles The leader of a warrior race works with his daughter to overcome their people's enslaved past and secure their future in a struggle against their creators, the enemy they were bred to battle, the oaths they have sworn, and the gods themselves.

#Season'sGreetings

Everyone knows who's coming down our chimneys next week. If you plan on starting your shopping this weekend―well, good luck. Even if you started shopping before the bird was on the table last month, there are always a few people who seem impossible to shop for (or who you forgot!)  So to cover all your last-minute gifting needs, here are some ideas for the readers on your list:

Action, adventure, and humanity against the world

A fresh take on the vampire legends

How about some fantasy on an epic level?

We're talking dragons and killer dwarves



Thrillers with a quantum physics twist

Gimme the science fiction, but take it out of this world 

BONUS! Be their favorite aunt or uncle and get the entire series

When all else fails, settle for a bit of everything

Goodbye sunshine.

Even though we haven't quite reached the Fall Equinox yet, we're all painfully aware that summer is over.  The weather can't decide what it wants to do, so we leave the house wearing boots and come home from work wearing flip flops. Or maybe that's just in Western New York.

Any who, we're excited for Fall because we have some seriously awesome books coming out.  From a quantum creature bent on destroying the world, to a war against humans and vampires, to a parallel world full of magic and gunpowder, we've got everything you could hope for this season.

Science fiction is here to stay

We launched our imprint ten years ago with an action packed line-up of hard science fiction, and according to some independent retailers, it looks as though science fiction is on the rise again after so many years of fantasy reigning.

So cheers to the intergalactic travel and nanotechnology,  futuristic societies and dopplegangers. Here's a look at some of the coolest looking scifi books we've brought you through the years
