by Pierce Brown<\/strong> Promo copy:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cEnder, Katniss, and now Darrow.\u201d\u2014Scott Sigler<\/b><\/b> \u201cI live for the dream that my children will be born free,\u201d she says. \u201cThat they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cI live for you,\u201d I say sadly.<\/p>\n Eo kisses my cheek. \u201cThen you must live for more.\u201d<\/p>\n Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.<\/p>\n But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow\u2014and Reds like him\u2014are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.<\/p>\n Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity\u2019s overlords struggle for power.\u00a0 He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society\u2019s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies… even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n by Joe Schreiber<\/strong><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/strong><\/p>\n Set before the events of\u00a0Star Wars:\u00a0<\/i>Episode I\u00a0The Phantom Menace,<\/i>\u00a0this new novel is a thrilling follow-up to\u00a0Star Wars: Darth Plagueis<\/i><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n It’s kill or be killed in the space penitentiary that houses the galaxy\u2019s worst criminals, where convicts face off in gladiatorial combat while an underworld gambling empire reaps the profits of the illicit blood sport. But the newest contender in this savage arena, as demonic to behold as he is deadly to challenge, is fighting for more than just survival. His do-or-die mission, for the dark masters he serves, is to capture the ultimate weapon: an object that will enable the Sith to conquer the galaxy.<\/p>\n Sith lords Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious are determined to possess the prize. And one of the power-hungry duo has his own treacherous plans for it. But first, their fearsome apprentice must take on a bloodthirsty prison warden, a cannibal gang, cutthroat crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and an unspeakable alien horror. No one else could brave such a gauntlet of death and live. But no one else is the dreaded dark-side disciple known as Darth Maul.<\/p>\n by David J. Williams and Mark S. Williams Promo copy:<\/strong><\/p>\n For decades,\u00a0Transformers<\/i>\u00a0fans across the globe have marveled at the mighty clashes of Megatron and Optimus Prime, and speculated about their arrival on planet Earth. Now, in\u00a0Transformers: Retribution,\u00a0<\/i>the prequel to the\u00a0Transformers\u00a0<\/i>animated series, the epic odyssey of these two great warriors is finally revealed as Autobots and Decepticons battle one another . . . and the most diabolic foe they\u2019ve ever encountered.<\/b><\/p>\n Aboard the Ark, Optimus Prime leads his Autobots through deep space, searching for the AllSpark so vital to their home planet, Cybertron. Megatron\u2019s not far behind, and his Decepticons are itching for war. But a mysterious planet conceals an enemy far more cunning and powerful: the Quintessons. Masters of tyranny, technology, and twisted double crosses, the Quintessons are out to enslave both Autobots and Decepticons. Their deadly bag of tricks includes fiendish trials and a secret link all the way back to Cybertron, where Shockwave is wreaking havoc with supercomputer Vector Sigma. In the coming conflagration, Star Seekers, Wreckers, Alpha Trion, and Sharkticons all have their parts to play. For none can dodge the Quintesson juggernaut of evil, and none will escape the cataclysmic life-and-death battles that will catapult Autobots and Decepticons to Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take\u00a0a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived at the Geek Compound.
