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.

Perfection Campaign
Born with a cleft lip into an upper-middle-class, conservative family obsessed with image and success, Jill Vanneman was subjected early to a ''perfection campaign'' aimed at erasing flaws. Told with unflinching honesty, moments of wit, and emotional depth, this coming-of-age story unfolds against the backdrop of 1980s America - a time and place where being a lesbian could cost you your job, your family, and your sense of self. As she grows into adolescence, college, and early adulthood, Jill begins to question not only her place in her family but also her sexual identity. Her journey leads her through turbulent relationships, professional achievements shadowed by internalized shame, and a heartbreaking attempt to reconcile with disapproving parents. Gradually, through therapy, spiritual exploration, and painful introspection, Jill learns that healing doesn''t come from perfection but from embracing the flawed, fierce truth of who she is. A raw, deeply personal memoir of family expectations, social shame, and a relentless drive for perfection, The Perfection Campaign is a compelling testament to resilience, identity, and the high cost - and ultimate liberation - of living authentically.

Behind White Picket Fences

Together, they start the Beaverbrook Academy for Inquiring Minds in Kiersten’s kitchen, embarking on a journey back to the idyllic life they experienced as children, when phones were attached to the wall and kids played outside until the streetlights came on at dusk. But the women quickly realize fractions aren’t their only problem. A sixty-year-old diary discovered in Kiersten’s basement raises unsettling questions about their neighborhood, their safety, and the seemingly simpler past. Their picture-perfect suburb disguises deadly secrets—and someone wants to keep them hidden. As unsettling events rattle their fragile utopia, Kiersten, Rosamund, and Piper face an impossible choice.

Wolf Land
Wolf Land traces the lives of the wolves that once called Britain and Ireland home. Beginning with the Ice Age, each chapter considers a key period in the history of wolves on these islands. Describing the landscapes they traversed, their relationship with the ever-growing human population, and the ways in which humans weaved wolves throughout every aspect of their cultural lives, from literature and art to religion and politics. Building on this history, Wolf Land concludes by reflecting on the parts of this story yet to be written, asking whether wolves could once again make Britain and Ireland their home. There is no better time for understanding the complex, multifaceted ecology of wolves in Britain and Ireland. Calls for widespread nature restoration and the reintroduction of apex predators necessitate a thorough understanding of the history of this animal, as well as the reasons why the species ultimately disappeared. Only by thoroughly comprehending the past can we hope to forge a future that involves wolves. Elizabeth Marshall is an expert in historical and literary research, with extensive knowledge of wolf ethology, ecology, and reintroduction. Passionate about critically examining and tracing historical sources, Elizabeth separates fact from the (ubiquitous) fiction associated with these animals. Wolf Land is a book for not only wolf lovers and natural and cultural history enthusiasts, but also for those interested in rewilding, reintroduction, and the complex yet fascinating relationship between nature and culture.
