Paperback. Condizione: Good. San Kyarr is a noviate within a secretive holy order tasked by Fleet to infiltrate the home world of mankind?s most dangerous enemy: the Sommen. If caught, her mission could bring war to Earth?long before its forces are ready. When a competing faction within Fleet learns of the clandestine assignment and sends her own brother to destroy her, San is set on a journey toward destinies far greater than she ever imagined. As she evolves into a mysterious woman with the powers to send and receive quantum messages, she achieves humanity?s most unattainable dream of instantaneous interstellar communication.  About prequel Tyger Burning: ?Fans of space opera will enjoy this first book of what promises to be an epic series, as Maung battles human enemies on Earth and alien invaders from the stars.? ?Arlan Andrews About T.C. McCarthy: ?McCarthy perfectly catches the attitudes of veterans among themselves and toward civilians?laymen, better?when they get back to the World.? ?David Drake ?Compelling . . . Recalling the work of Remarque, Willi Heinrich, and especially Michael Herr, McCarthy's delirious narrative avoids cliche and raises intriguing questions about what it means to be human.? ?Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Germline ?It's not just good . . . it's the mil-sf book I wish I could send back in time to beat out Forever War for a Hugo. I never would have guessed McCarthy was an analyst . . . I was sure he'd been on the pointy end for a long time.? ?Ernest Lilley, SF Revu ?The highly detailed, brutal depiction of futuristic warfare brilliantly complements the intimate narrative, which examines the insanity of war and those personally affected by it. Breathtaking and heartrending, this is the future of military science fiction.? ?Publishers Weekly (starred review) ?A well written novel that makes you consider the costs of war in very personal terms.? ?SF Signal.…

Condizione: Fair. Germline (n): the genetic material contained in a cellular lineage that can be passed to the next generation. Also (slang): secret military program to develop genetically engineered supersoldiers. One hundred years from now, Russia and the United States are at odds again. This time the war has gone hot. Heavily armored soldiers battle genetically engineered troops hundreds of meters below the icy, mineral-rich mountains of Kazakhstan. War is Oscar Wendell's ticket to greatness. A reporter for the Stars and Stripes, he has the only one-way ticket to the front lines. The front smells of blood and fire and death--it smells like a Pulitzer. But Kaz changes people, and the chaos of war feels a bit too much like home. Hooked on a dangerous cocktail of drugs and adrenaline, Oscar starts down a dark road that he won't be able to turn back from.…

Condizione: Fair. Exogene (n): factor or agent (as a disease-producing organism) from outside the organism or system. Also (slang): classified Russian program to merge protohumanoids with powered armor systems. Catherine is a soldier. Fast, strong, and lethal, she is the ultimate in military technology. She's a monster in the body of an eighteen-year-old girl. Bred by scientists, grown in vats, indoctrinated by the government, she and her sisters will win this war--no matter the cost. And the costs are high. Their lifespan is short; as they age they become unstable and undergo a process called the spoiling. On their eighteenth birthday they are discharged. Lined up and shot like cattle. However, the truth is, Catherine and her sisters may not be strictly human, but they're not animals. They can twist their genomes and indoctrinate them to follow the principles of Faith and Death, but they can't shut off the part of them that wants more than war. Catherine may have only known death, but she dreams of life, and she will get it at any cost.…
