<blockquote>Fifty previous Torkiyan missions were obliterated in space, but new technology gives Mission 51 a better chance to reach the legendary planet Cerulea—also known as planet Earth.
<div><br /></div>
Zeemat, a peaceful Torkiyan who’d rather hold a paintbrush than a weapon, has been assigned to his planet’s fifty-first mission against his own will. After suffering a catastrophic journey, Zeemat’s spacecraft crashes in what becomes known as Area 51. Taken captive by a rather brutal cohort of FBI agents, he finds a friend only in his gentle and kind translator, Dr. Linda Deltare. As the FBI torture grows increasingly merciless, Zeemat must find a way to escape his holding cell or perish, never to see the outside world he traveled so far to see.
<div><br /></div>
In his quest for freedom and happiness, Zeemat must learn to survive in a strange new land and fight against militant forces from both his native and adopted planets. </blockquote>

<blockquote><b>“An enthralling debut by a gifted storyteller!” —Wendy Walker, author of <i>Don’t Look for Me</i></b>
<div><br /></div>
<b>In this spine-tingling, atmospheric debut for fans of Jennifer McMahon, Simone St. James, and Chris Bohjalian, a woman returns to her hometown after her childhood friend attempts suicide at a local haunted house—the same place where a traumatic incident shattered their lives twenty years ago.</b>
<div><br /></div>
Few in sleepy Sumner’s Mills have stumbled across the Octagon House hidden deep in the woods. Even fewer are brave enough to trespass. A man had killed his wife and two young daughters there, a shocking, gruesome crime that the sleepy upstate New York town tried to bury. One summer night, an emboldened fourteen-year-old Clare and her best friend, Abby, ventured into the Octagon House. Clare came out, but a piece of Abby never did.
<div><br /></div>
Twenty years later, an adult Clare receives word that Abby has attempted suicide at the Octagon House and now lies in a coma. With little to lose and still grieving after a personal tragedy, Clare returns to her roots to uncover the darkness responsible for Abby’s accident.
<div><br /></div>
An eerie page-turner, <i>Beneath the Stairs</i> is about the trauma that follows us from childhood to adulthood and returning to the beginning to reach the end.</blockquote>

<blockquote><b>A love story set in a bad dream about America, concerning permanent debt, secret police, making dinner, and unpaid invoices—right up until the end of the world.</b>
<div><br /></div>
It’s Brooklyn. It’s winter. It’s so cold outside you could execute billionaires in the street about it. Sam lives with Eleanor and they are in love. He has three or four outstanding invoices that would each cover rent for a month. At some point, the President is going to make some absolutely wild announcements that will only end in doom.
<div><br /></div>
In a surreal, funny, and heart-breaking version of reality, Sasha Fletcher’s highly anticipated first novel occupies that rare register that manages to speak to an increasingly incomprehensible world.
<div><br /></div>
Through scenes that poetically transform the mundane into the sublime and the absurd into the tragic, Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World is about the exquisite beauty of being in love in a world that is falling apart.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Emma had the perfect trifecta: a long-term job as an engineer designing sewers; a steady relationship with her reliable boyfriend; and an adoring and creative best friend (about whom she wasn’t quite ready to admit her unrequited feelings). Then early one morning, a phone call changed her world forever.
<div><br /></div>
Now she’s having nightmares that threaten to disrupt the space-time continuum –– nightmares of hiding from bombs in basements, of glass shattering from nearby explosions. But these disturbing dreams, in which she inhabits the body of a young girl named Lily, seem all too real, and Emma’s waking life begins to be affected by the events that transpire in this mysterious wartime landscape. Convinced she has been given a chance to save a life, Emma tries to rescue Lily from heartache, but ultimately it is through Lily that Emma finds her way back.
<div><br /></div>
<i>The Almond in the Apricot</i> navigates connections formed across space and time and explores love, grief, and the possibility that the universe might be bigger than either Emma or Lily ever imagined.</blockquote>

<blockquote><b>“A modern coming-of-age full of love, desperation, heartache, and magic” (Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize–winning author) about “the ways in which family, grief, love, queerness, and vulnerability all intersect” (Kristen Arnett, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author). Perfect for fans of <i>The Perks of Being a Wallflower</i> and <i>The Thirty Names of Night</i>.</b>
<div><br /></div>
Though Owen Tanner has never met anyone else who has a chatty bird in their chest, medical forums would call him a Terror. From the moment Gail emerged between Owen’s ribs, his mother knew that she had to hide him away from the world. After a decade spent in hiding, Owen takes a brazen trip outdoors in the middle of a forest fire, and his life is upended forever.
<div><br /></div>
Suddenly, Owen is forced to flee the home that had once felt so confining and hide in plain sight with his uncle and cousin in Washington. There, he feels the joy of finding a family among friends; of sharing the bird in his chest and being embraced fully; of falling in love and feeling the devastating heartbreak of rejection before finding a spark of happiness in the most unexpected place; of living his truth regardless of how hard the thieves of joy may try to tear him down. But the threat of the Army of Acronyms is a constant, looming presence, making Owen wonder if he’ll ever find a way out of the cycle of fear.
<div><br /></div>
A heartbreaking yet hopeful novel about the things that make us unique and lovable, <i>The Boy with a Bird in His Chest</i> grapples with the fear, depression, and feelings of isolation that come with believing that we will never be loved, let alone accepted, for who we truly are, and learning to live fully and openly regardless.</blockquote>

<blockquote><b>Lesbian gunslinger fights spies in space!</b>
<div><br /></div>
Three factions vie for control of the galaxy. Rig, a gunslinging, thieving, rebel with a cause, doesn’t give a damn about them and she hasn’t looked back since abandoning them three years ago.
<div><br /></div>
That is, until her former faction sends her a message: return what she stole from them, or her twin sister will die.
<div><br /></div>
Rig embarks on a journey across the galaxy to save her – but for once she’s not alone. She has help from her network of resistance contacts, her taser-wielding librarian girlfriend, and a mysterious bounty hunter.
<div><br /></div>
If Rig fails, trillions of lives will be lost – including her sister’s. But if she succeeds, she might just pull the whole damn system down around their ears. Either way, she’s going to do it with Panache and Pizzazz.

<blockquote><b>“With lush world building and lyrical prose, <i>A River Enchanted</i> feels like the echo of a folktale from a world right next to our own.” —Hannah Whitten, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>For the Wolf</i></b>
<div><br /></div>
<b><i>House of Earth and Blood</i> meets <i>The Witch's Heart</i> in Rebecca Ross’s brilliant first adult fantasy, set on the magical isle of Cadence where two childhood enemies must team up to discover why girls are going missing from their clan.</b>
<div><br /></div>
Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Enchantments run deep on Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind, plaid shawls can be as strong as armor, and the smallest cut of a knife can instill fathomless fear. The capricious spirits that rule the isle by fire, water, earth, and wind find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home. Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack’s childhood enemy, knows the spirits only answer to a bard’s music, and she hopes Jack can draw them forth by song, enticing them to return the missing girls.
<div><br /></div>
As Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. But with each passing song, it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than they first expected, and an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all.
<div><br /></div>
With unforgettable characters, a fast-paced plot, and compelling world building, <i>A River Enchanted</i> is a stirring story of duty, love, and the power of true partnership, and marks Rebecca Ross’s brilliant entry on the adult fantasy stage.</blockquote>

<blockquote><b>From a major new debut author in epic fantasy comes the first book in a trilogy where action, intrigue, and magic collide. <i>The Justice of Kings</i> introduces an unforgettable protagonist destined to become a fantasy icon: Sir Konrad Vonvalt, an Emperor’s Justice, who is a detective, judge, and executioner all in one. But these are dangerous times to be a Justice…. </b>
<div><br /></div>
<b>“A fantastic debut.” – Peter McLean, author of <i>Priest of Bones</i></b>
<div><br /></div>
The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. Rebels, heretics, and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the Imperial throne.
<div><br /></div>
Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is the most feared Justice of all, upholding the law by way of his sharp mind, arcane powers, and skill as a swordsman. At his side stands Helena Sedanka, his talented protégé, orphaned by the wars that forged the Empire.
<div><br /></div>
When the pair investigates the murder of a provincial aristocrat, they unearth a conspiracy that stretches to the very top of Imperial society. As the stakes rise and become ever more personal, Vonvalt and Helena must make a choice: Will they abandon the laws they’ve sworn to uphold, in order to protect the Empire?</blockquote>

<blockquote><b>The long-awaited war has come in the sweeping conclusion to the Lot Lands trilogy—another irresistibly swashbuckling, swaggering, foul-mouthed fantasy from the author of <i>The Grey Bastards</i> (“Nonstop action, though not for faint hearts.”—<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>).</b>
<div><br /></div>
War has come to the Lot Lands—and Oats stands upon the frontline.
<div><br /></div>
The Hisparthan armies on the horizon are mighty, bolstered by divine champions, dread sorcerers, and gunpowder. It’s almost more than the half-orc rebellion can hope to repel.
<div><br /></div>
But Oats has won impossible fights before. He’s a thriceblood, after all, more orc than man. And he hasn’t forgotten how to kill. He’ll stack the bodies high for his chief and his brethren, if that’s the price of freeing the Lots from human tyranny.
<div><br /></div>
Besides, the invading forces are getting a damned sight more than they bargained for. They’re not facing a handful of half-orc hoofs, but a true army—one forged from all the peoples of the Lots. At its head are Fetching, in full command of the ruinous power that runs through her veins, and Jackal, armed with the blessings of a dead god.
<div><br /></div>
Yet Oats can’t help but find his faith wavering. Once the strongest Bastard, he soon realizes that in this battle, even the strength of a thriceblood is easily conquered. And after a grievous loss strikes, he begins to fear that this war will lead the Lots not to freedom but to ruin.
<div><br /></div>
So when another path to peace beckons, he has no choice but to walk it. Even if it means betting the Lots’ fate, and his own, on the promises of the Bastards’ wiliest adversary—and making a perilous journey into the heart of Hispartha itself.
<div><br /></div>
Brimming with all the epic battles, surprising sorcery, and fiendish twists a Bastards fan could wish for, alongside unforgettable moments for characters old and new, <i>The Free Bastards</i> builds a new future for the Lots—even as it gives our beloved trio of Jackal, Fetching, and Oats the rousing, blood-soaked sendoff they deserve.

<b>Don’t trust the Liar.<br />
Do not cross the King.<br />
Never, ever go in the River.</b>
<div><br /></div>
In Red Valley, California, you follow the rules if you want to stay alive. But they won’t be enough to protect Sadie now that she’s become the Liar, the keeper of the town’s many secrets. Friendships are hard-won here, and it isn’t safe to make enemies.
<div><br /></div>
And though the Liar has power — power to remake the world, with just a little blood—what Sadie really needs is answers: Why is the town’s sheriff after her? What does the King want from her? And what is the real purpose of the Liar of Red Valley?

<blockquote><b>The Murderbot Diaries makes first contact in this new, futuristic, standalone novel exploring sentience and artificial intelligence through the lenses of conflicted robot hero Unit Four, from Marina Lostetter, critically acclaimed author of <i>Noumenon</i>, <i>Noumenon Infinity</i>, and <i>Noumenon Ultra</i>.</b>
<div><br /></div>
When Unit Four—a biological soft robot built and stored high above the Jovian atmosphere—is activated for the first time, it’s in crisis mode. Aliens are attacking the Helium-3 mine it was created to oversee, and now its sole purpose is to defend Earth’s largest energy resource from the invaders in ship-to-ship combat.
<div><br /></div>
But something’s wrong. Unit Four doesn’t feel quite right.
<div><br /></div>
There are files in its databanks it can’t account for, unusual chemical combinations roaring through its pipes, and the primers it possesses on the aliens are suspiciously sparse. The robot is under orders to seek and destroy. That’s all it knows.
<div><br /></div>
According to its handler, that’s all it needs to know.
<div><br /></div>
Determined to fulfill its directives, Unit Four launches its ship and goes on the attack, but it has no idea it’s about to get caught in a downward spiral of misinformation, reprograming, and interstellar conflict.
<div><br /></div>
Most robots are simple tools. Unit Four is well on its way to becoming something more....

expansion of the <i>Spawn</i> Universe. Much to the excitement of old and new
<i>Spawn</i> fans alike, the title is expected to shatter even more comic book
records, like the recent <i>King Spawn</i> #1, which sold over a half-million
copies. This will be the third (of four) number one release that will climb
into the #1 spot for orders in less than five months.<br />
<div>
<br />
Early indications suggest this will be the single biggest monthly comic book
launch for a new character in well over 30 years, which includes any superhero
publisher, including Marvel and DC Comics.<br />
<br />
The new comic title features <i>Gunslinger Spawn</i>, a man out of time who is
unwillingly thrust 200 years in the future to the 21<sup>st</sup> century. Not
only does he have to navigate a new world, but he’ll have to deal with the
demons of his past. No one is safe from his vengeance as he heads into battle
with guns blazing as he tries to find his way back home.<br />
<br />
Acclaimed artist Brett Booth will be the featured artist on this book, with
additional art by Philip Tan, Kevin Keane, and Thomas Nachlik, with colors by
FCO, Andrew Dalhouse and others. McFarlane will take the lead on writing the
regular ongoing story and he and Aleš Kot tackle the back-up tales.
<i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> #1 will feature covers by a roster of superstar
artists: Greg Capullo, John Romita Jr., TonTon Revolver, Booth, McFarlane, and
<i>The</i> <i>Walking Dead</i> creator, Robert Kirkman!<br />
<br />
<i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> #1 cover G adds another level of excitement to this
new ongoing series. With pencils by Booth and inks by McFarlane, this cover
along with both the <i>King Spawn #1</i> and <i>The Scorched #1 </i>(releasing
in December 2021), interconnect to form one epic work of art.<br />
<br />
<i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> #1 includes a 1:250 copy incentive cover. McFarlane
will hand-sign and create a unique sequential number for each issue just like
he did for the record-breaking <i>King Spawn </i>#1 (based on the Final Order
Cutoff total).<b> </b>Each signed <i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> #1 1:250 includes a
CGC Certificate of Authenticity that retailers can send in and redeem though
CGC to have their books graded. This is the <b><i>only time</i></b> McFarlane
will sign the <i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> #1 1:250 incentive copy issue. <br />
<br />
Additionally, there will be a <i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> #1 1:50 copy
incentive cover by Capullo.<br />
<br />
"<i>Gunslinger Spawn</i> returns with a vengeance, and he will make Spawn look
like a Boy Scout," said McFarlane, <i>Spawn</i> creator and President at
Image Comics. "Finally, fans will get a glimpse into his history as we dig
deeper into his past and explore his future.” <br />
<br />
The <i>Spawn</i> character was first introduced in 1992, to a record-setting
of 1.7 million copies that still stands today as the highest-selling,
creator-owned comic issue of all time. Published by Image Comics (the third
largest comic publisher in North America), the <i>Spawn</i> character also set
a record as the longest-running, creator-owned comic on the planet when issue
#301 was published in 2019. In August 2021, the newest <i>Spawn</i> Universe
title <i>King Spawn</i> #1 sales numbers demolished
<i>The Avengers' </i>record and became a 25-year record-breaking new superhero
monthly title launch. <br />

Todd McFarlane's <i>Spawn</i> is one of the world's best-selling and
longest-running monthly comic books, with several hundred million copies
sold worldwide in more than 120 countries. In addition, <i>Spawn's Universe #1</i> is Image Comics' top-selling first issue of the 21st century. </span><span style="color: black;">The new <i>Spawn</i> Universe title <i>King Spawn #1</i> sales numbers demolished <i>The Avengers</i> record and became a 25-year record-breaking new superhero monthly title launch. </span><span style="color: black;"> <br />
<br />
McFarlane's <i>Spawn </i>made history with the release of the historic <i>Spawn</i>
#300, and Spawn #301 has earned the Guinness World Records title for
the longest-running creator-owned superhero comic book series in the
world. The road to McFarlane's history-making comic run began in 1992
when he co-founded Image Comics and the released <i>Spawn</i> #1, still the single-best-selling issue all-time for any creator-owned comic.<br />
<br />
The comic became an Emmy Award-winning animated series on HBO and a
live-action feature film that grossed $100 million. In addition,
McFarlane became a true comic book superstar for his record-setting work
on Marvel Comics' <i>Spider-Man</i> franchise, where he co-created Marvel's top villain Venom. <br />
<br />
After garnishing prominent success in the comic industry, McFarlane
founded the international award-winning McFarlane Toys, one of America's
top action figure manufacturers. In 2020, the new release of a <i>Spawn </i>figure on Kickstarter set a new Kickstarter record, in its category, for raising just under $3.5 million in 30 days.<br />
