Book Description
"When a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym moves in across the street from his office, Jonathan Gottschall sees a challenge, and an opportunity. Pushing forty, out of shape, and disenchanted with his job as an adjunct English professor, part of him yearns to cross the street and join up. The other part is terrified. Gottschall eventually works up his nerve, and starts training for a real cage fight. He's fighting not only as a personal test but also to answer questions that have intrigued him for years: Why do men fight? And why do so many seemingly decent people like to watch?"--Amazon.com.

Book Description
‘She was a good sleeper, rarely troubled by anything as confusing as a dream. But this one had a peculiar flavour. It’s just a pity that she didn’t remember it till much later.’ Tucked away in a remote corner of Wales, a research project into the furthest fringes of quantum physics is nearing completion. Unfortunately the scientists are playing with fire and are about to bring about the end of Time itself, and consequently the end of the universe as we know it. The Gods (a coalition government these days) are unable to interfere under the terms and conditions of their own existence. They decide to send an envoy to the dream world, more commonly known as Astralia, to ask for help. The Astralians offer to send agents to our world, although when they arrive they usually have no recollection of why they were sent. In the ‘real’ world, lead scientist Tom meets Lucy, the girl of his dreams. They fall in love, but do they really know who they are? As reality disintegrates, is there still time to save the universe? Is the answer always yes – and no? Written in a tongue-in-cheek style, A Stitch in Time explores the nature of reality and consciousness. This book will appeal to fans of fantasy novels, as well as those with a particular interest in quantum physics, contemporary arts and culture.

Book Description
HUGE SAVINGS OFF THE INDIVIDUAL BOOK PRICES! Includes the first 3 novels in the BLACK CARBON series: The Hunted, The Surface, The Tempest THE HUNTED Lights out. Keep still. Pray for morning. Joule and Cage Mazur feel like prisoners in their home. With something new stalking the streets at night, their family’s only protection is bolting the door and embracing the darkness. And even though they manage to trap and kill one of the monsters, their locks won’t hold forever… Dealing with rising panic and rage in the neighborhood, the free-spirited survivors hatch a plan to undermine the killers. But with the night hunters picking off everyone they can, Joule and Cage know time is ticking toward humanity’s extinction. Can they kill the Night Hunters and reclaim the top of the food chain? THE SURFACE No Power. No Food. No Rescue. When the rains came the first time and campus flooded, Cage thought it was a freak weather incident. Joule saw it for what it was—a warning. Life went back to normal when most of the water receded. But the standing puddles left behind weren’t normal. Something had laid eggs in it… The creatures from the San Fransisco Bay found a path into the floodwaters. As the rain comes harder the second time, the flood is much deeper and those who go underwater don’t come back up. The rip-currents are the least dangerous things in the water. Can Cage and Joule escape? How will they survive when even the land isn’t safe? And what about the ones they left behind? THE TEMPEST Find shelter. Stay low. Hold on tight. The first tornado was an anomaly. It cleared the land and bumped up the time scale on the job. But as everyone rushes to set up the new solar farm, they find that something has shifted… At first it was a series of small, unassuming whirlwinds, a nuisance more than a real concern. But soon the funnels get bigger and the winds get stronger, and there’s nowhere safe to hide. When Joule and Cage get separated, the winds get even more dangerous. They’ve always had each other’s backs, but now they’ll have to survive on their own. Can they even help the people who live in the path of the fury? Maybe, if they can save themselves first. These are the first three books in the fast-paced Black Carbon apocalyptic thriller series by a USA Today bestselling author. If you like resourceful heroes, world-ending catastrophes, and breathtaking action, you’ll love AJ Scudiere’s spine-tingling series, BLACK CARBON.
