From the Stacks
Featuring a different, randomly-selected book every week. This week, we have three!
The Vessel | Russell Nohelty | Dystopian Sci-Fi (N) (C) ($)
Every generation, the five most powerful people in the City transfer their consciousnesses into nubile, teenage hosts. This allows them to continue their important work of keeping the city functioning and protected from the nuclear wasteland beyond its borders. When one of the Five dies, though, the others decide that their bodies are too fragile and decide to find new hosts earlier than usual. This triggers a competition, where children from across the City travel to its center to compete for a chance to earn a place as a Vessel for one of the Five.
Cali the Destroyer | Sol Luckman | Visionary Fiction, Paranormal Romance (N) (C) ($)
Best friends? Check. Illegal lovers? Check. Mythological entities? Check. Cali and Juice aren't discovering love; they're discovering they've always been in love—since the dawn of creation. In this page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in an Orwellian future seeded in the dystopian present, resistance to the Archons appears futile ... that is, until the Goddess and her consort spectacularly reappear straight out of ancient Gnosticism to take on the control matrix of the Fatherland. Will the Luminous Child awaken in humanity before it's too late? CALI THE DESTROYER was selected as Winner of the 2022 NYC Big Book Award and 2022 National Indie Excellence Award for Visionary Fiction, Silver Medalist for Visionary Fiction in the 2022 Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary Fiction categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, Finalist in both the Paranormal/Supernatural and Fantasy categories of the 2022 IAN Book of the Year Awards, and Distinguished Favorite for Audio Fiction in the 2022 NYC Big Book Awards.
A Beginner’s Guide to Time Travel | Ben Woestenburg | Science Fiction, Thriller (N) (C) (F)
A time travel story with a twist. A journey into the future where the world is recovering from a major catastrophe and a serial killer is on the loose.
