epub | 1.7 MB | English | Kathy Reichs | Scribner
Description: #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a new riveting novel featuring her vastly popular character forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who must use all her tradecraft to discover the identity of a faceless corpse, its connection to a decade-old missing child case, and why the dead man had her cellphone number.
It's sweltering in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Temperance Brennan, still recovering from neurosurgery following an aneurysm, is battling nightmares, migraines, and what she thinks might be hallucinations when she receives a series of mysterious text messages, each containing a new picture of a corpse that is missing its face and hands. Immediately, she's anxious to know who the dead man is, and why the images were sent to her.
An identified corpse soon turns up, only partly answering her questions.
To win answers to the others, including the man's identity, she must go rogue, working mostly outside the...

Blackstar Command 01 Prominence A C Hadfield, Colin F Barnes
epub | 368.38 KB | English | A.C. Hadfield, Colin F. Barnes | 2017 | Vast Frontiers Ltd
Description: They tried to destroy our planets. Or way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. We had assumed they were beaten for good.
We were wrong.
They're known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they're back-with help from a powerful new enemy. Against their wrath, we must stand. We're outnumbered and unprepared. If we lose, we lose everything. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.
If I fail, the Coalition will fall, and the Host will consign us to a distant memory. I refuse to let that happen. I will fight to my last breath for the Coalition's survival.
For fans of Star Wars, Firefly, Battlestar, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Prominence is the first of a trilogy due to be released throughout the 2nd quarter of 2017.

Code Breakers 00 Prequel Colin F Barnes
epub | 291.56 KB | English | Colin F. Barnes | Anachron Press
Description:
A Code Breakers Prequel
Note: This prequel story can be read at any point in the Code Breakers series.
Rogue hackers Petal and Gabriel are low on food and water. Their reputation precedes them and they are no longer able to hustle the crime community for supplies. With survival becoming harder, they're left with no other choice but to accept a risky job from a dangerous individual.
The two will have to negotiate with the Tinker- a woman whose reputation for psychotic behaviour is known across the nuclear-blasted Abandoned Lands; infiltrate a town overrun with killers; and recover a cache of exceptionally rare information.
They will have to put their very lives on the line in order to succeed, and with the odds considerably stacked against them, they'll need more than luck on their side.
This is a 25,000 word cyberpunk/adventure novella-length story, which equates to about 2-3hrs reading time.

Back Roads
epub | 1.92 MB | Andrée A. Michaud | 2017 | House of Anansi Press Inc
Description: In Scotiabank Giller Prize-longlisted author Andrée A. Michaud's genre-defying, ethereal mystery, a writer encounters her double and must grapple with an undetermined crime - and her own identity.
In the dubious sanctuary of a wintry forest, a writer encounters a woman who she suspects may be her double. So begins a journey of inquiry in which nothing, not even the author's own identity, is certain. Who is Heather Thorne? Is she a stranger dangerously out of place in the woods, the victim of an accident or of a crime? Who is the author? Is her own name not in fact Heather Thorne?
Brimming with the snowy menace and mystery of the boreal woods, where nothing is ever entirely known, the celebrated and prize-winning Quebec noir novelist Andrée A. Michaud once again defies categorization in an ethereal story that is also a meditation on the very process of literary creation.

The Gaming Mind A New Psychology of Videogames and the Power of Play
epub | 885.3 KB | English | Alexander Kriss | The Experiment
Description: Are videogames bad for us? It's the question on everyone's mind, given teenagers' captive attention to videogames and the media's tendency to scapegoat them. It's also-if you ask clinical psychologist Alexander Kriss-the wrong question. In his therapy office, Kriss looks at videogames as a window into the mind. Is his patient Liz really "addicted" to Candy Crush-or is she evading a deeper problem? Why would aspiring model Patricia craft a hideous avatar named "Pat"? And when Jack immerses himself in Mass Effect, is he eroding his social skills-or honing them via relationship-building gameplay? Weaving together Kriss's personal history, patients' experiences, and professional insight-and without shying away from complex subjects, such as online harassment-The Gaming Mind disrupts our assumptions about "gamers" and...

Future Minds
epub | 1.65 MB | English | Richard Yonck | Arcade
Description: For readers of Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking, an epic journey through the intelligent universe.
With the ongoing advancement of AI and other technologies, our world is becoming increasingly intelligent. From chatbots to innovations in brain-computer interfaces to the possibility of superintelligences leading to the Singularity later this century, our reality is being transformed before our eyes. This is commonly seen as the natural result of progress, but what if there's more to it than that? What if intelligence is an inevitability, an underlying property of the universe?
In Future Minds, Richard Yonck challenges our assumptions about intelligence-what it is, how it came to exist, its place in the development of life on Earth and possibly throughout the cosmos. Taking a Big History perspective-over the 14 billion years from the Big Bang to the present and beyond-he dra on recent developments in physics and complexity theory to...
