The equations work, and the letter itself seems to prove the possibility will someday be realized. But her paper on the topic is fiercely criticized, and she’s warned away by a sinister Alliance agent. After defecting to the Union, she gets an unexpected offer: “I can build your ship.” Shipbuilder John Grant learns of a secret project, which unknown to the world has been traveling to the stars for decades: Black Horizon. Biologist Emma Hazeldene works for Black Horizon on an alien world, Apis, whose life has clearly come from Earth, investigating rock formations that are thought to be an alien, crystal-like intelligence. But refugees exiled to a hard life in the wilds of Apis already know more than the scientists have ever suspected. Everything changes when the rocks wake up, with dire results. As secrets emerge and rival powers seize advantage, three worlds are shaken to their foundations—and all involved have to fight for their lives, and their futures. Science fiction legend Ken MacLeod begins a new space opera trilogy by imagining humankind on the precipice of discovery—the invention of faster-than-light travel unlocks a universe of new possibilities, and new dangers.

Book excerpt: Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Laini Taylor, this much-anticipated sequel to New York Times bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner's The Other Side of the Sky is a thrilling race against time--with a tantalizing star-crossed love and an electric conclusion. Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again. Time to do the impossible. Above, in the cloudlands, Nimh has no memory of her past, only an aching, undying certainty that she has left something--someone--behind. But while she struggles to recall her identity, an imposter wields her name with deadly purpose. Below, on the surface, North looks to the sky, desperate to join the person he loves and return to his world. But with only a traitor willing to help him, and others clamoring for him to take Nimh's place, his home seems more unreachable than ever. Tragedy looms as the cloudland engines falter and mist rains terror on the surface, and in their desperation to reunite and save their people, Nimh and North face one ultimate question: can they defy their love and their destiny to save their homes? Or will the spark between them ignite their worlds, and consume them all together?

Yet he simply watches as Sorca weaves his lies around the people cares about and laughs when Norvent questions him.

Condemned to love each other despite betraying and hurting each other, Norvent tries to find meaning in his situation and searches for a clear conscience.

Then the death of a friend and a disaster in a faraway solar system pushes Norvent to act rashly, without thinking and into conflict with the Centre.

The ultimate betrayal. The Other Side of the Sky is a sweeping epic fantasy romance, leaping from a world across the universe to Earth and into the vastness of space, and of the bonds of blood, of betrayal, the illusion of choice, but especially of love in all its forms.

Book excerpt: I started my quest for Heaven at my Mothers untimely death. I was only nine years old at the time. I was told God called my Mother away to heaven, to live eternally in paradise. I could not, at nine years old, comprehend heaven, most certainly not eternally. I asked of everyone, where is heaven? I wanted to find my Mother. Heaven, I was told, is far beyond the sky, farther than Man can see but we know it is there somewhere beyond the horizon. My Grandmother would simply point into the sky and say up YONDER. In all my years of research I never found YONDER. I believe now that it is simply a Southern Constellation, known only to a few deep southern fried Astronomers like my grandmother. No! I beg your pardon,I am not from the constellation YONDER, only from nearby Tishomingo County, Mississippi.
