"An Empress Redemptor sits on Aritsar's throne. To appease the sinister spirits of the dead, Tarisai must now anoint a council of her own, coming into her full power as a Raybearer. She must then descend into the Underworld, a sacrifice to end all future atrocities. Tarisai is determined to survive, but months into her shaky reign as empress she is haunted by child spirits, demanding that she pay for past sins of the empire. She fears the pressure may consume her--if the assassination attempts don't kill her. But Tarisai must either die for justice--or live for it"--OCLC.

"Lenora has returned to the otherworldly Library which holds every book ever known on its shelves. But she discovers the Library is under new management, its incredible rooms and corridrs turned dark and sinister. She quickly connects with a secret resistance that's trying to free knowledge from the shados threatening it. Her new friends introduce her to an ancient lost city, hang gliding, and mathematical beings larger than the universe itself. And they help her face the mysterious Board of new leaders, who must be stopped from leading the Library into darkness"--Dust jacket.

"First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis"--Amazon.

"When we last saw Squad 312, they working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated. Cue Zila, Fin, and Scarlett (and MAGELLAN!): making friends, making enemies, and making history? Sure, no problem. Cue Tyler, Kal, and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy's most hated villains? Um, okay. That, too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle."--Amazon.

And then finally ... blastoff!"--Provided by publisher.
