Out of the Blue: A History of Lightning: Science, Superstition, and Amazing Stories of Survival (Paperback)
$16.00
ISBN-13: 9780385341165Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Delta, 05/01/2009
There is, perhaps, no other force in Nature as frightening and compelling as lightning. Everything about it, from its incredible swiftness to the overwhelming noise it produces, to the way it seems to pick individuals out of a crowd, have made it a subject of fear and fascination throughout mankind's past. With this book, Friedman chronicles the myths and history, the personal survival stories and the latest science, bundling it all up in a compulsively readable narrative. Just don't curl up with it under a tree in a storm.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance-Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem (Paperback)
$12.95
ISBN-13: 9781594743344Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Quirk Books, 04/01/2009
In a gloriously expanded version of Jane Austen's literary classic, Seth Grahame-Smith mixes in hordes of the shambling undead. Blending seamlessly with the familiar and formal sparring of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, is plenty of mayhem and violence, as the flesh-eating zombies wreak havoc on the countryside. The prim and proper Victorian characters are given a much-needed makeover into masters of combat, dispatching the "Legions of Satan" to their eternal rest.
I Love You, Beth Cooper (Paperback)

Published: Harper Perennial, 04/01/2008
If this isn't the funniest novel I've EVER read, it's at the least a serious contender. I quite literally had to keep putting it down to catch my breath. This is the sort of book where, while you're reading it, everyone around is wondering what you're laughing so hard at. If it doesn't feel like Larry Doyle is targeting your funnybone with a jackhammer, you might want to have a doctor check your pulse.
Fool (Hardcover)

The two words that best describe this book: INSANELY HILARIOUS. The funniest novelist alive takes a madcap romp through the works of Shakespeare and nothing is sacred. Highly recommended!
Small Favor (Hardcover)
$23.95

Published: Roc Hardcover, 04/01/2008
This latest novel in the Dresden Files is brimming with the series' trademark action, humor, magic, and mayhem. While it could be described as a darker, adult version of Harry Potter, that doesn't do justice to the sheer inventiveness and skill Jim Butcher brings to his trade. As a whole, the Dresden Files far surpass the Potter books in characterization, plot, dialogue, evocative prose, system of magic, and nearly every other imaginable way. It's difficult to overstate just how exceptional the Dresden Files are among Urban Fantasy sub-sect of the SF&F genre.
Deep Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
$7.99
ISBN-13: 9781400095476Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Anchor, 02/01/2008
The book starts out simply enough: an odd sickness is sweeping through the crew of an oil derrick, & an expert naval doctor is called in to treat the workers. From that humble beginning, like the slow, clicking ascent before the first, sharp drop of a rollercoaster ride, the story rockets along unexpected twists & turns, culminating in a surprising finale as superbly imagined as it is unforeseen. Highly recommended for readers who like their action fast & smart.

From brilliantly choreographed starship battles to masterfully complex plot lines, from intriguing characters to clever dialogue, David Weber's novels have fully satisfied SF fans for decades.

If you're looking for a far-future epic with a strong female protagonist, or if you just desire a great read, you can't go wrong diving deeply into this series.
