The Far Side of Evil by Sylvia Engdahl

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The Far Side of Evil by Sylvia Engdahl

On completion of her training as an agent of the interstellar federation’s Anthropological Service, Elana is sent to a world whose people may soon destroy their civilization. Since not enough is understood about the situation to justify any interference with their evolution, the Service has no power to act; its agents must go as helpless observers, posing as natives, in the hope of gaining knowledge that may help to save other worlds. This passive role proves intolerable to the young, inexperienced agent assigned to the same city as Elana, a city under totalitarian rule. After falling in love with a local girl who has become Elana’s closest friend, he identifies too completely with the natives and unwittingly endangers the entire world by a well-meant but ill-advised attempt to intervene. Forced to assume responsibility for undoing the damage, Elana finds that only she–at great cost–can prevent an immediate war of annihilation.

From the reviews:

“A surprising, haunting, poetic book . . . full of provocative philosophical and psychological questions as well as tense adventure and romance.” —Commonweal

“Gripping psychological science fiction . . . the relationship between the heroine and her sophisticated, unbrutish interrogator is beautifully balanced and adds another dimension to a story which is already multi-faceted.” —Times Literary Supplement, London

“The author has a direct, forceful style of writing that sparks the reader’s imagination.” —Publisher’s Weekly

“a truly unique voice” – Readers’ Favorite
“… you can’t get better than The Man of Cloud 9” – Rene Auberjonois, Director/Actor (aka Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine)

A Silicon-Valley spirited, high-tech thriller with an intimate soul. A tale of genius, conscience, and consequence.

Seventy years from now, the world’s been heavily damaged by climate change, but its appetite for big dreams and innovation is gone. Steve Jobs-esque inventor Niko Rafaelo is driven to bring back the banned technology of nanobots and change the world. What lengths is he willing to go to, and what is his ultimate goal?

Recommended for ages 12 and up.

Bargain Book: Right of Passage by Charles Vella

Police-State-ebook-cover-216X327Drones on the White House lawn. Government agents with an ear to your telephone. Where will it end?

Maybe in a Police State of Anarchy.

2065, two hundred years after the end of the civil war. Is it happening all over again? Don’t ask Adams. He doesn’t know. Doesn’t care. He’s marking time leading milk runs upstate for food. And forgetting. So he picked up that girl at Liberty Casino. He was just being a nice guy. Wasn’t looking to get involved with the police. And sure wasn’t looking to become the rope in a tug of war between the police and Homeland Security.

So who are these people and what do they want from Adams? Lead a cross-country caravan? The insurance companies killed those years ago. These days the only way across country is to fly, if you’re willing to risk the electric planes and being caught in a gun fight when some drunk isn’t satisfied with the service. So where did that Right of Passage on his screen come from? And why’re that cop Grillo and his trained monster of a sidekick stepping on Adams’s heels everywhere he goes? And if Grillo wants Adams to lead that caravan, who is it that wants to stop him? Whoever it is, he can change screen records and make people disappear from surveillance cameras. Not much doubt who that is, but in this game no one wears uniforms and the sidelines may be more dangerous than the field.

The only thing scarier than facing a lunatic is seeing him in the mirror. The only thing worse than a dystopian future is one that springs from the seeds of lunacy we’re planting today. The more things change the more they stay the same. And you call this progress?

Police State of Anarchy is a sketch of the kind of future we may be asking for. Are we ready for it?

Bargain Book: Face/Mask by Gabriel Boutros

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

Face.MaskThis book is bargain priced from 12/14/2014 until 12/14/2015

The story is set in Montreal in the year 2039. Like most major cities, the air is poisonous due to unregulated industrial expansion around the globe. The war on terror has been going on for nearly forty years, with no end in sight. A few years earlier a small nuclear bomb was detonated on Canadian soil by a fringe terrorist group. This led to the American government sending in military advisers to help combat the spread of terrorism. Soon a militaristic administration was established, which curtailed civil rights and clamped down on dissent.
The main character is Allen Janus: everyone thinks he is a good husband and father, and a respected government official. But, despite having a good job and a wife and children who love him, he is dissatisfied. He finds little meaning or happiness in what he views as a monotonous life. He will do anything and lie to anyone to find some excitement to get him through his empty days. The physical decay of the world around him is reflected in his own decaying morality, and he leads a double life, gambling heavily and spending much of his time with a prostitute.
At home, he is faced with a relative who is well-loved and respected by everyone who knows him, creating feelings of resentment in Janus. In a moment of petty vindictiveness Janus informs on this man to the authoritarian government, getting him arrested and unintentionally turning the attention of the military police on to his whole family. He has to overcome his own weak character, as well as the secret life that he must keep hidden, in order to save everyone from the web of deceit that he created.

Bargain Book: Defender of the Flame by Sylvia Engdahl

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

Defender_of_the_FlameA novel about the first steps toward the next phase of human evolution — the development of so-called “paranormal” powers such as ESP. Starship pilot Terry Radnor’s life is transformed by the discovery that he possesses these powers, and that others are working to spread them throughout the worlds of humankind. But they face danger. Most people don’t want to know that such powers exist; they have a deep innate fear having to admit that their conception of reality is false. And some of those people will go to any lengths to suppress their emergence. Some will even resort to terrorism.

Terry vows to defend the world that is spearheading the spread of new human capabilities, a world where for the first time in his life he has found happiness. He has no idea of how far that aim will take him from everything else he cares about — his promising career as a Fleet officer, his wife and soulmate, his unborn child. Torn away against his will, he is forced into exile from all that has previously mattered to him, seeing no chance to fulfill the commitment he has made. Yet a mysterious and extraordinary destiny has been predicted for Terry, and fate leads him to an even stranger one than anybody could have imagined.

This is the first book in the Rising Flame series. Although it follows the two novels in the Hidden Flame series, it is a new story set two hundred years later that doesn’t depend on having read them, It is complete in itself and can be read alone, but a sequel, Herald of the Flame, has recently been published.

In a future where religion and disease have brought social order to the verge of collapse, and where humans have been biologically and others mechanically enhanced, Jeremiah Jones must find the one man who might be able to fix everything. Problem is, that man—Walt Devereaux—may have created bio-weapons that could wipe out humanity. Is Devereaux really a dangerous man? Or is Jeremiah simply a pawn in a deadly game? Who can he trust? The man who is sheltering Devereaux? Jeremiah’s ex-partner and former lover, who betrayed him? The Attorney General, who hopes to capture Devereaux to catapult himself to the presidency? Surrounded by questions, the only way Jeremiah will learn the truth is by battling the transgenic Escala and their sworn enemies, the mechanically enhanced Elite Ops. And the odds of survival are slim.
