DOUBLE JUMP (GLASER, JASON;HALLDIN, TIMOTHY)

Jeremy Chin is walking home from school. The sky looks strangely clear?there?s no smog. Only a menacing blimp with black dragon wings, dumping out a glimmering dust. Everything it falls on?the skyscrapers, the trees, and yes, even the people?begins to disappear. And so begins Jeremy?s quest for survival. When he wakes up in a strange hospital, the world Jeremy has known for 17 years is gone. He has landed in the Lattice, a collective of remnant world fragments and their survivors. But Jeremy has survived one world only to join a war in another. As he and his newfound companions travel the Lattice in search of answers about the Engine, a force that seems to control everything but no one really understands, they battle enemies like roboninjas and giant insectoids?just the minions of a much greater enemy determined to rebuild the Lattice, even if it means erasing the entire Lattice and starting from scratch. As Jeremy discovers that the more he follows video game physics and logic, the better chance he has of survival, he also wonders: Will he ever see his father again? ? At once a mind-gripping mystery an

LORDS OF THE SEVENTH SWARM (FARLAND, DAVID)

The Golden Queen, Book 3 When the Sixth Swarm of the insectoid Dronons began their invasion of human worlds, three fugitives were thrown together as they fled before the wave of alien destruction. Gallen O'Day, a human bounty hunter, Orick, a sentient bear, and Maggie Flynn, a beautiful orphan, made a desperate stand. In an attempt to stop the attack, they challenged the queen of the invading forces. Against all hope, Gallen defeated the Dronon Lord protector in ritual combat, piercing its exoskeleton. Only an ancient system of transport gates has kept the desperate trio one world ahead of the Dronon probes and scout ships. But now, out of worlds and out of hope, they are stranded on a planet called Ruin, far beyond the gates and off the star charts. The desolate rock and its hundred inhabitants are ruled by Lord Felph, an ancient gentleman of inestimable wealth and eccentricity. The four-thousand-year-old Felph has dedicated six hundred years to a search for a mythic alien relic said to give its bearer power over Time and Space. This relic lies in the ultra-dense jungle called the Tangles, where down in th

Esa idea acariciada desde la antigüedad, que no consiste sólo en buscar criaturas semejantes al hombre y en aprender a comprenderlas, sino más bien en abstenerse a comprenderlas, sino más bien en abstenerse de interferir en todo aquello que no concierne al hombre, en todo cuanto es ajeno.

But Poppy isn?t impressed by mere earthly beauty, and he doesn?t mind bulldozing federal land when it suits his purp
