For Lori Straford, born into the lowest caste of citizens—the pleasure arts strata of their society—it is an inescapable fate that she can only hope to better by enlisting as a spa attendant and masseuse on one of the luxury world colonies under the purview of Darvel Exploration Corporation. When she is talked into working on one of their mining planets for a year with the promise of a hefty bonus and to be transferred to her choice planet after more non-gratas can be sent over, it is too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Estamos a principios de la primavera de 2016 en el castillo de Windsor, donde Isabel II ultima los preparativos de las celebraciones de su nonagésimo aniversario mientras saborea una matutina taza de té.

Embark on a journey across the planet through 23 stories written by 16 authors from six different countries.

With the body-hopping supernatural psychos finally vanquished, it seems like it might be time to relax. You know, have some fun. Hang out with my friends. Focus on my magical education. And, if all goes according to plan, take my relationship with Kai to the next level. Trust me, having spent my early-20s locked up in an institution, I’m more than ready to celebrate that particular rite of passage. But if I’ve learned anything in my short time in the world of witches, it’s never to let your guard down.

Carl anhela una vida tranquila con su futura esposa y el hijo que esperan. Pero cuando Amy le hace una única petición, surge un problema. Ella quiere casarse en la Tierra para que su madre pueda estar presente. Para un ciudadano respetuoso de la ley, esa sería una petición cara pero sencilla. Para una banda de forajidos, volar sin un plan hasta la sede de la ley y el orden galácticos podría ser un suicidio…

I never intended to actually send the email. I’m not crazy. It was just a way to vent. I actually did need the money way too much to go off on my boss. Only when I went into office the next day, there was a note on my desk. It read, “A million years is up. See me in my office.”

Maybe my two older brothers had lost their minds over a woman, but that was never going to happen to me. I'd never believed in soul mates, romantic love, or happily ever after. The only thing any woman had ever wanted from me was the Montgomery name and all the billions of dollars and luxuries that came with it. Those facts had been proven to me over and over again until I met Victoria "Torie" Durand, my best friend's little sister and the one woman who wasn't impressed by my wealth or my name.

Brad's new school friends turn out to be rich kids and become suckers in his plot to make cash he can conceal from his parents. Chuck's casino gig was a setup. And Mort's errands are actually a series of contract killings. He's made a deal to keep the family safe, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep up his end.

A child struggles to understand the unrelenting cruelty of the life she is trapped in, while a young mother is forced into an impossible choice to try to save herself and her children. Each finds herself alone, in a hostile world. To survive, they have to stay free. Those that are taken never come back, and the fiery spirit they share may not be enough. They will need the intervention of luck, and kind strangers, to have any chance of reaching sanctuary. But the odds against them are enormous. And not all strangers are kind.

Los piratas han tomado y ocupado un mundo de refugiados, y el gobierno en el exilio pide ayuda al único humano del que puede fiarse: Carl Ramsey. Carl, que intenta ser una mejor persona, acepta ayudar en la medida que pueda. Dado que es un famoso fuera de la ley, su plan implica un poco de engaño y falsedad. Mientras Carl desentraña la historia de cómo una flota pirata bien atrincherada fue expulsada de su cómodo escondite y halló el objetivo ideal al que chantajear, se abre paso a través de una telaraña de engaños, intrigas y maquinaciones políticas tras bambalinas.

One chance. That's all I’ll have. Along with a choice I can't possibly make. In just a few weeks, I’ve gone from living in a psychiatric hospital, to learning I have magic, to joining a secret society of witches. I've also had to come to terms with both what I am and where I came from. Half demon, half witch, born in the demon real - a magical mutation created for sacrificial purposes. It's so nice knowing that the woman who raised me only did so because she was planning to spill my blood on her sacrificial altar. So, yeah. No wonder I went crazy.

Carl Ramsey ha hecho lo impensable: ha rechazado un trabajo. Cuando el trato es despreciable incluso para forajidos como la tripulación del Mobius, ha de haber algo desagradable detrás. Carl y sus amigos deciden dar caza a su potencial empleador y entregarlo a las autoridades. Pero como justicieros aficionados, se ven atrapados en un pantano moral de conflictos de intereses. Con la victoria (y una buena paga) en sus miras, ¿podrán soportar la terrible verdad que descubran?

In Unwelcome Guests, Harold S. Wechsler and Steven J. Diner argue that discrimination in college admissions has a long and troubling history in the US. Institutions of higher learning have vigorously sought to shape their mission and the experiences of their undergraduate students by paying careful attention to race and religion in admissions decisions. Wechsler and Diner explore how American colleges and universities sought to restrict enrollment of students they considered undesirable.

When two thirty-something Houston teachers realize the commonalities and humor of the dating lives that surround them, all they can say is “Class is in session…”

La reine confie à Rozie, sa secrétaire particulière adjointe, la mission de le récupérer, de préférence avec des explications. Pour couronner le tout, l'ambiance au palais de Buckingham est gangrenée par une vague de lettres anonymes.

Far from a normal child's life! Young Terek was introduced into a world of pain. He never really had experienced a mother's love. Until Terek was brutally beaten and left for dead on his Aunt Bunny's front porch. It was then that Terek was shown the rules of "The Game", plus how it felt to be loved unconditionally. Forced to step out into a world where every time he turned around, his loved ones were living or dying by the laws of the streets, so Terek devoted himself to the only thing he felt he had left - and that was his Black Heart!

Fifteen years ago, Guard Four stood by and watched her friend, Atalant, be jettisoned into space for questioning their planet's religion. Atalant should have died. Instead, she disappeared. Consumed by guilt, Guard Four trawls space, hopping from spaceport to spaceport, hoping to find and bring Atalant home with exonerating evidence that Ardulum, the traveling planet her people worship, is no mystic deity. At the edges of the known galaxy, Guard Four finds the shattered remains of a murdered world...
