Synopsis

The third book in the series, ‘Inara’, prepares the reader for the aftermath of Godfrey, and his friends success in defeating the Mainframe. With it’s iron grip choked out of existence, Tarquin’s control over the androids had been removed forever.

But the death of a human subsequently gave rise to the question. Would the masses ever trust Artificial Intelligence again?

When Nine and the other androids voted to leave Llar behind, the rioting started shortly after their departure. Where it would lead to was anyone’s guess.
Except for one man, and an ethereal green hologram in the Grand Plaza.

As Godfrey reflected on his excursion into the future, he knew. And there was nothing he could do to stop it. While the old hologram stood and watched the hoards destroying their heritage, the clock was ticking.

Time was running out.

Paradox Effect: Time Travel and Purified DNA Merge to Halt the Collapse of Human Existence

★ 4.33

Gabriel F.W. Koch

In 2554, the World is Coming to its End, unless an impossible mission through 600 years of time travel succeeds. Maternal instinct knows no boundaries, including the nano-neural-net intravenously installed in Dannia Weston's mind to repress her identity, allowing her to perform a mission 300 years before her time. Transported to the year 1954, Dannia becomes a woman with a mid-twentieth century persona, college educated with an aptitude for mechanical invention. Due to her work during the war, she is employed by the U.S. government on a secret project. But what no one knows-including Dannia or those who sent her back to tinker with the mechanical past to reduce future pollution-is what might happen should she become emotionally involved in 1954. The 2254 science team programmed the nano-net to prevent the possibility of pregnancy, but each person reacts to strong emotional stimuli differently, and using birth control not available in 1954 is out of the question. When Dannia falls in love with Peter Hersh and becomes pregnant, her hormones erode a small section of the nano-chained network that stabilizes her new identity, triggering a mild memory rebirth...and threatening her mission and the fate of the world.

Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn’t Ask For

★ 4.28

Sara Pascoe

Raya’s burgeoning psychic and time-travel powers could freak anybody out. But they're that much weirder when you're an emotionally wounded, smart-mouthed, foster kid. After accidentally flinging herself to 1645 England amidst their deadliest witch trials, along with an equally smart-aleck talking cat, people try to help her come home. But instead she sticks her fingers in it again, and transports to 1645 Istanbul, where life is leaps and bounds beyond England. There she meets extraordinary historical figures as well as ordinary people. She starts to let love in, and begins to heal. “Raya’s bittersweet memories of her mother are absolutely heartbreaking and serve as an important touchstone for readers who may have experienced similar trauma. The author’s talent for balancing real-world issues with adrenaline-pumping exploits through time (including a perilous sojourn to 17th-century Istanbul) is impressive, as are her richly detailed descriptions of various people and places.”
Kirkus Reviews – Verdict: Get it.

The Secret of the Blood Charm

David Clark

Larissa is a child of three worlds. She is a witch, a human, and a vampire…

Witches fear her…
She is in love with a forbidden human …
And Vampires want her blood.

A dark figure murdered Larissa Norton’s father before coming after her and her mother. To save Larissa, her mother placed her on a train, where she fell asleep and later woke up alone… and very confused. See, vampires don’t sleep.

That train delivered her to the safety of a coven where witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters live and learn together. She discovered the coven was more than it appeared, much more. It was a school full of orphans like her. All needing to learn how to hone their abilities and live in the world of humans.

In the coven, Larissa found a feeling of belonging and comfort, especially in the forbidden fruit of a witch’s mortal son.

What the coven found in Larissa was more than they bargained for. Larissa was a child of three worlds, with a past that she couldn’t remember, which was more complicated and darker than any of them could imagine. Worst of all, someone was out for her blood, literally, and though the adults vowed to protect her, no one knew who or what the threat really was, yet.

Welcome to Coven Cove, a new world created by international best-selling paranormal author David Clark.
