We Have Met the Aliens—and They Are Us

Avalon was finally thriving. The cold sleep colonists from Earth had settled on a verdant, livable world. The fast and cunning predators humans named grendels were under control, and mainland outposts had been established. Humans would survive. But unbeknownst to the planet-bound humans, something was moving out there in the stars. Its destination: Avalon. Its probable origin: Earth’s Solar System. The passengers it carried would change this world forever.

The long-awaited conclusion of the Heorot series from science fiction legends Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes.

Lawyers, Ray Guns, and Money

Whatever the future may hold, one thing is certain: whenever two people get together, the possibility for disagreement will always be present. And when there are conflicts that need settling, lawyers won’t be far behind. Here then, a collection of science fiction tales of men and women who try to balance the scales of justice on a cosmic scale. Classics by Robert A. Heinlein, Larry Niven, Clifford D. Simak, Robert Silverberg, and more, and newer stories by Christopher Ruocchio, Tony Daniel, Sarah A. Hoyt and Laura Montgomery, Alex Shvartsman, and Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, and still other stellar talents bringing down the judge’s gavel with a verdict of excellent entertainment.
