The Sixth Sense meets Planet of the Apes in a moving science fiction novel set so far in the future, humanity is gone and forgotten in Lawrence M. Schoen's Barsk: The Elephants' Graveyard An historian who speaks with the dead is ensnared by the past. A child who feels no pain and who should not exist sees the future. Between them are truths that will shake worlds. In a distant future, no remnants of human beings remain, but their successors thrive throughout the galaxy. These are the offspring of humanity's genius-animals uplifted into walking, talking, sentient beings. The Fant are one such species: anthropomorphic elephants ostracized by other races, and long ago exiled to the rainy ghetto...
The Ghost Line is a haunting science fiction story about the Titanic of the stars by debut authors Andrew Neil Gray and J. S. Herbison that Lawrence M. Schoen calls "a delicious rush of the future and the past." The Martian Queen was the Titanic of the stars before it was decommissioned, set to drift back and forth between Earth and Mars on the off-chance that reclaiming it ever became profitable for the owners. For Saga and her husband Michel the cruise ship represents a massive payday. Hacking and stealing the ship could earn them enough to settle down, have children, and pay for the treatments to save Saga’s mother’s life. But the Martian Queen is much more than their employer has told them. In the twenty years since it was abandoned, something strange and dangerous has come to reside in the decadent vessel. Saga feels herself being drawn into a spider’s web, and must navigate the traps and lures of an awakening intelligence if she wants to go home again. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

In ReDeus: Divine Tales, the gods returned to us. All of them. Now, in ReDeus: Beyond Borders, see just what that means for the nations of the world-and the people living in them. Everything has not necessarily turned out for the best, especially in some lands. Nor is it all bad. But with so many gods vying for worship, there's some interesting jockeying going on, for lands and for people. It's a vastly different world the gods have returned to, and their efforts to re-assert themselves have forced mortals into a complicated, ever-changing struggle to live and provide for their families. Returning to ReDeus alongside series creators Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, and Aaron Rosenberg are Phil Giunta, William Leisner, Scott Pearson, Lawrence M. Schoen, and Steven H. Wilson. Joining us for the first time are Lorraine Anderson, Kelly Meding, Steve Lyons, David McDonald, and Janna Silverstein. All told, there are thirteen brand-new tales of what happens when the gods go . . . beyond borders.
