Edge of the Abyss

Roanhorse, Rebecca — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

"Over a decade into the Empire's reign, life under Imperial rule has become routine. The days of the Republic have long passed into memory-if they are remembered at all. Within the Senate, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa face dwindling influence, for there is no difference between the will of the Emperor and the direction of his Empire. Bail increasingly shifts his focus to support clandestine resistance efforts, knowing a successful fight against the Empire will come from beyond the halls of power. Meanwhile, Mon takes a stand when she makes a horrifying discovery about the lengths the regime will go to weaponize truth and loyalty. The Empire's newest target: the next generation raised under the Emperor's ever deepening shadow, including Mon's and Bail's daughters. Across the galaxy, disparate rebel factions are rendered outcasts, branded criminals, and pitted against one another. On Ghorman, an idealistic student group seeks to make meaningful change, unaware of an ISB agent who seeks to sabotage them from the inside. Leaders Saw Gerrera and Anto Kreegyr squabble and bargain to survive one more day against the crush of Imperial might. Trust is rare and betrayal quick. A distracted, disorganized resistance is one that is easy to snuff out. There are few heroes...and no alliances. When one of Gerrera's partisans is captured by the Empire, time is running out for senators, outcasts, spies, and all those that desire a better tomorrow. What the prisoner knows could help the Empire eradicate any whisper of resistance, end any rebellion before it can truly begin-and ensure that the Empire's truth is all the galaxy will ever know."-- Front dust jacket flap.

The Strangers

Alderman, Naomi — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

They came from nowhere, and now they are everywhere. A few months after her mother dies, the novelist Naomi Alderman sets up a wildlife camera in the back garden of her parents' home. It captures the first image of a strange new animal. Low to the ground, about the size of a badger, flat face, long, trunk-like nose. Suddenly these "mimmoths" are as common as foxes or dogs. And no one knows where they've come from. As Alderman negotiates the territory of grief--a place with its own logic and rhythms--the mimmoths spread. From the UK east and west, to the United States, to Russia, to India. They seem harmless, but oddly intelligent. They cannot be captured, they will not take food from humans, they have their own purposes. Alderman cannot shake the feeling that she has a particular connection to the creatures. Or is she just succumbing to 'mimmoth psychosis'? As the impact of the mimmoths increases, she is pulled into the cross currents of conspiracy theories and global power struggles. Have her deeply personal forms of mourning lent recent events a surreal air, or is our reality changing drastically and irrevocably? From the award-winning author of the international bestseller, The Power, The Strangers is a thrillingly original and devastatingly moving novel that blurs the lines between fiction and reality, inviting us to reconsider what it means to be human. It's like nothing you'll have read before.

"An expeditionary force will discover unfamiliar lands, fight deadly foes, and reveal secrets as they explore the mysterious new Earth they now call home in this gripping alternate history adventure set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Destroyermen series. Ever since the World War II-era destroyer USS Walker was marooned on a strange alternate Earth, naturalist Courtney Bradford has been eager to fully explore the planet. Now that the war with the Alliance's enemies has settled into an uneasy peace, he is given leave to organize the Corps of Discovery, a motley company formed of veterans of the Great War from all over the Alliance. On board the rebuilt Walker, they set out to investigate reports of a region in the Pacific where ships have gone missing and a terrible bright flash of light on the horizon was witnessed. But what they find there is beyond anyone's imagination: a great battered fleet made up of strange ships. Courtney suspects the rusty armada may have been transported to this world from another, the same way the Walker was four years ago. What none of them know is that the Alliance's enemies are already aware of these lost ships-and the deadly technology they can harvest from them-and are willing to go to any lengths to steal them. Courtney, his crew of inexperienced cadets, and a handful of lethal commandos are all that stand in the way of another global war-one that the exhausted Grand Alliance simply can't win"-- Provided by publisher.

The A.R.C

Disney, Tim — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A lethal new virus is wreaking havoc across the globe, but this time hand sanitizer isn't going to fix it. The A.R.C. begins at the Concordia Center in the heart of the Amazon, where a who's who of global elites from business, finance, fashion, entertainment, technology, and online activism have gathered for the Global Reinvestment For Tomorrow Conference (GRFT), promising to solve the problem of climate change once and for all. Very little problem-solving occurs before the GRFTers are infected with a lethal, highly contagious virus, dubbed Amazonian Recombinant Cytoneuropathy (A.R.C.). The A.R.C. virus has peculiar and unfortunate characteristics: it is wildly contagious but undetectable in its dormant phase; it is 100% lethal; and the kicker is ... it's activated by lying. This proves deeply problematic for a world drowning in an ocean of lies and misinformation. The GRFTers board their private jets and spread the virus worldwide. Chaos ensues. Most of The A.R.C. plays out on a supposedly "sustainable" cruise ship, The Veritas, where an unlikely band of passengers and crew members: a single mom and her teenage daughter, a born again preacher and his wife, the grizzled Norwegian ship captain, an underemployed photographer and her retired stockbroker father, a pack of libidinous business bros, an unscrupulous payday lending magnate and his Russian mail-order bride, and others, reckon with the spreading virus, survive a bloody attack, and together figure out what is driving the disease, and how to live alongside it. Some of them make it. Most of them don't. Our plucky survivors make landfall on terra incognita just as The Veritas sinks beneath them. Ashore, they encounter a band of fellow travelers. We get a glimpse of the post-lie world they build together.

Massif

Nix, Garth — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Massifs came to humanity with a message: Join us among the stars. And so we did, because Earth was dying. It was a gift we couldn't pass up.

For more than two hundred years humans have been hitching rides on these sentient, starfaring mountain ranges, colonising planets and exporting an on and off again war between Earth and Mars. But the big questions are always there, behind every battle, every new colony, every new star system discovery. Why do the Massifs carry humans to the stars? Why do they help us export our wars? What's in it for the Massifs? Ship crews aren't supposed to ask these questions, they aren't supposed to think about these questions, and they definitely aren't supposed to go deep and talk to Massif avatars. But now Parnell and his tight-knit crew must try to find the answers, to save not only themselves but the future of humanity.

Marvel Dimensions

Ross, Alex — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The story opens with a sweeping tour through the classic origins of Marvel's most iconic characters. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many others appear in dramatic, fully painted spreads that echo their earliest stories. A narrator describes each moment with confidence, guiding the reader through these touchstones of Marvel's history. But as the story moves forward, the tone begins to shift. The voice behind the narration is not who the readers expect and carries a motive that slowly pushes the narrative somewhere darker and far more unpredictable. Once this change becomes clear, the book expands into something larger and more surprising. Storylines twist in on themselves, characters behave in unexpected ways, and events ripple across the Marvel Universe with growing tensions. Ross uses the structure of the book to create anticipation and pull the reader deeper into a mystery that keeps widening. Every new sequence reveals another layer, building toward a final act that reframes everything that came before it. A bonus 32-page comic book is included that is pivotal to the storyline.

Scion

Islington, James — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

My job, when you think about it, isn't so different from a lot of people's. The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the "killing people" part of it, I guess, but that's a them problem: it's been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever--limited resources be damned--there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent. So, sure, I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try to crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it. Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it. Still. This next job ... I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way. I'm sure it'll all go totally fine though.

Aveyard, Victoria — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

From Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Queen, comes a romantic fantasy epic like no other in which a fallen noblewoman faces off against her former love—the last great pirate captain—amid a brutal war for the high seas.

"Tempest is a triumph that features all my favorite things: romance, layered characters, a meticulous fantasy world, and of course—pirates." —RACHEL GILLIG

Cat Rose knows what it is to live in two worlds, in two times. Before—as Lady Catrine Rose of the Meridian Empire, chained to a loathsome lord with a dwindling fortune. And after—as the Widow Rose, queen of a pirate tavern in the Lyrian Sea, determined to be the master of her own fate.

But tides turn and winds change. The Meridian Empire looms on the horizon, the full weight of her navy falling on the Lyrian, bent on reclaiming the wealthy colonies and crushing the pirate republic once and for all. Ship after ship is captured, save for one, captained by a pirate who continually evades both noose and blade: the legendary Valerian Kane.

With his fearsome ship and uncanny connection to the song of the sea, Valerian is the only man who might rally the pirates who remain. The only man who threatens the Empire. And the only man Cat has ever loved, blazing in and out of her life like a star.

Desperate for victory, the Empire offers Cat a devastating choice: bring them Valerian or hang. In truth, no choice at all.

But Cat Rose is nothing if not a survivor.

A storm is rising on the Lyrian. What will it leave in its wake?
