Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill

Get it at B&N

Amazon summary:
Mars stinks.

It's hot. The air reeks of burning fuel; the rivers and lakes seethe with sulfur. In the shadows, evil men plot terror and beasts hunt the innocent. Out on the barren crags of the terraformed planet, there is nowhere to hide. No one to heed a call for help.

No one, except Durango.




Enchantment's Reach by Martin Ash

Amazon summary:
An extraordinary work of tense, outsider fantasy… Enchantment’s Reach is a fast-paced, intricately-woven saga of conflict, mystery, intrigue, magic and betrayal, set in world that may be part-dream, part-real, or perhaps something else entirely, where the fabulous and the unexpected have become the norm.
In this world, anything is possible…

The small kingdom of Enchantment’s Reach lies close on the border of the mysterious land of Enchantment from where strange magical energies seep, borne invisibly on unnatural breezes. Untamed magic resides in the very air, the land itself, and sometimes also deep within the minds of its inhabitants.
It is a time of immense tension. Enchantment’s Reach is being torn apart from both inside and out. From the southwest have come the Karai, a brutal warrior race not wholly human, one of whose armies now musters just a few leagues from the border. The Karai are in league, it appears, with mysterious and powerful entities who dwell within Enchantment itself, commonly held to have the powers of gods. Yet neither the Karai nor these godlike creatures of Enchantment have been known before to interfere directly in the affairs of lesser creatures.

What is it that they seek from Enchantment’s Reach?
Further dangers beset the small kingdom. Perilous internal as well as external conflicts threaten its King, Leth, his beautiful young queen, Issul, and the people of the Reach. Strange religious factions are resurgent, fanatical cults revive old feuds and rise to threaten the throne, and somewhere deep within Enchantment’s Reach itself a mysterious creature appears, an inhabitant of some other dimension, seeming secretly to wield unusual influence over King Leth.

The world is fragile…

Ahead lie treacherous intrigues both human and otherworldly, and a desperate quest into lands of warring gods, into dimensions previously uncontacted, and into the depths of unconscious creation in search of keys to mysteries dark, enigmatic and profound.

Here is fantasy at its finest – a true epic brimming with secrets and revelations, an enquiry deep into mysteries of existence, the nature of experience and knowledge, of belief, desire and treachery, and of jealous gods and scheming humans, all held together with a narrative power that will hold the reader enthralled from beginning to end.


Playing at Forever by Michelle Brewer
Amazon summary:
After achieving his dream of making it in Hollywood, Tommy Davidson returns to Ravenside, running away from the emptiness that had come with his success and the beginnings of a floundering career. There, he finds Penny Lang—beautiful as ever, but struggling with her own problems. Sure, she had the restaurant she’d always dreamed of, but the cost had been high—and it had included her marriage. Now, her ex is threatening to take it all away from her.

With the two of them so close to losing everything they have worked so hard for, it only seems natural that they help each other out. Tommy’s image is in need of some refreshing and Penny is just the girl for the job. If Penny acts as if she and Tommy are together for the long-haul, Tommy will make sure Penny keeps her restaurant.
Simple enough in thought, but as the line between reality and fiction blurs, the two of them are forced to decide…how much of it is really just an act?
This is a short read, perfect for a few hours relaxing reading.

  3. Oh thanks for the heads up on Black Hole Sun cause I have the second (and maybe third) books but not the first. The first three you mentioned sound really good and I hadn't heard of them yet. Thanks for letting us know!
