Sci-Fi & Time Travel:
Traveller - Inceptio by Rob Shackleford
If you were sent 1000 years into the past, would you survive?
Traveller - Inceptio describes how the Transporter is
accidentally invented and becomes public knowledge when it sends a subject 1000
years into the past.
A Special Forces team of Travellers is then selected and
trained with the intent to send them to Saxon England to explore what could be
a very dangerous period of history.
From the beaches of Australia to the forests of Saxon
England, Traveller - Inceptio reveals how Travellers discover they need a lot
more than technology to survive the trials of early Eleventh Century life.
Although he was a suburban husband and father, living a far
different life than the “Wolf of Wall Street,” Michael Kimelman had a good run
as the cofounder of a hedge fund. He had left a cushy yet suffocating job at a
law firm to try his hand at the high-risk life of a proprietary trader — and he
did pretty well for himself. But it all came crashing down in the wee hours of
November 5, 2009, when the Feds came to his door—almost taking the door off its
hinges. While his wife and children were sequestered to a bedroom, Kimelman was
marched off in embarrassment in view of his neighbors and TV crews who had been
alerted in advance. He was arrested as part of a huge insider trading case, and
while he was offered a “sweetheart” no-jail probation plea, he refused,
maintaining his innocence.
White Collar Crime:
Although he was a suburban husband and father, living a far
different life than the “Wolf of Wall Street,” Michael Kimelman had a good run
as the cofounder of a hedge fund. He had left a cushy yet suffocating job at a
law firm to try his hand at the high-risk life of a proprietary trader — and he
did pretty well for himself. But it all came crashing down in the wee hours of
November 5, 2009, when the Feds came to his door—almost taking the door off its
hinges. While his wife and children were sequestered to a bedroom, Kimelman was
marched off in embarrassment in view of his neighbors and TV crews who had been
alerted in advance. He was arrested as part of a huge insider trading case, and
while he was offered a “sweetheart” no-jail probation plea, he refused,
maintaining his innocence.
The lion’s share of Confessions of a Wall Street Insider was
written while Kimelman was an inmate at Lewisburg Penitentiary. In nearly two
years behind bars, he reflected on his experiences before incarceration—rubbing
elbows and throwing back far too many cocktails with financial titans and major
figures in sports and entertainment (including Leonardo DiCaprio, Alex
Rodriguez, Ben Bernanke, and Alan Greenspan, to drop a few names); making and
losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in daily gambles on the Street; getting
involved with the wrong people, who eventually turned on him; realizing that
none of that mattered in the end. As he writes: “Stripped of family, friends,
time, and humanity, if there’s ever a place to give one pause, it’s prison . .
. Tomorrow is promised to no one.” In Confessions of a Wall Street Insider, he
reveals the triumphs, pains, and struggles, and how, in the end, it just might
have made him a better person.
YA Fantasy:
Neva has more problems than the average seventeen year old: a
fear of mirrors, lips that cause death upon contact, an insatiable addiction to
apples, and she's been doomed to repeat the same three years of her life over
and over.
She may be the prettiest girl around, but her beauty has
caused her nothing but trouble. Neva has been cursed by a vengeful coven of
ruthless witches. She has a small window of time to break her curse, or she

home.

absolute. Until the day Oracle Prime Leon Courtee challenges the Empire's most
sacrosanct divination--the Eternity Prophecy. The next morning he disappears,

As murmurs of a conspiracy simmer underneath a facade of peace, the regime
prepares to strike back. Anything to keep the dissenters quiet. Or better yet,
dead. The Empire is ready to turn innocents into pawns in a game of treachery
and deceit--a sacrifice deemed necessary to keep peace across the galaxy.
Will truth stand a chance against the all-powerful Empire?
In this unputdownable tour de force, disparate lives--a young mother fleeing a

self-taught hacker fixated on revenge, an assassin seeking
redemption--crisscross and careen unwittingly toward a stunning conclusion.

Can Bennett solve the case before it’s too late? How many
people will he lose in the process?
Humans are all but extinct. Our world is in ruins, destroyed
by the AI known as The Order. 3p1c should be just like the other millions of

isn't much to feel in this hollow, ruined world until he stumbles upon
something that will make him question his own existence. A human.
Women's Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy:
Ahe'ey by Jamie Le Fay
Morgan's feminist books didn't prepare her to deal with the
dashing Gabriel and the land of Ahe'ey ...
Ahe'ey: The Complete Collection
Morgan is a dreamer, change maker and art lover. She is a feisty, slightly
preachy, romantic feminist full of contradictions and insecurities. Morgan
uncovers a world where women have the power, and where magic is no longer just
a figment of her wild imagination. Sounds like a dream, but it may, in fact,
turn into a nightmare.
The world of the Ahe'ey challenges and subverts her views about gender, genes,
and nature versus nurture.
The strong and uninvited chemistry between her and the dashing Gabriel makes
matters even more complicated. His stunning looks keep short-circuiting her
rational mind.
