"Pre-empting novels such as the Booker Prize-winning ‘Time’s Arrow’ by as much as twenty years, Counter-Clock world is a story of racial tensions told against the background of the year 1998 in which time flows in reverse as people are born old only to grow younger and younger.
Time runs backwards in the Counter-Clock World. Old people emerge from their graves, grow to middle age, youth, adolescence and childhood to be finally unborn in their mothers wombs. The most powerful - and most feared - organisation in the world is the Library, in charge of expunging the written records of events, which have no longer happened.
When a powerful black leader is reborn, the Library's one concern is to eliminate him before the renewal of racial violence tears the country apart. But in this counter-clock year of 1998 it isn't that simple…
This eerie and unforgettable premise encapsulates Philip K Dick's ambitious and inimitable approach to fiction writing. The attempts of his characters to cope with the bizarre reality of a world that runs backwards while their minds run forwards like ours, operate as a stunning critique of the way in which we perceive our own civilization."
"Max is back on Earth, but it’s not the Earth he remembers.
His friends are in trouble, humanity is in critical danger, and he’s broke. Again.
Now he needs to meet up with his friends, some of whom are very powerful and well known now. Getting an audience with someone important, when one is a brand new Returner, is going to be a challenge.
He’ll have to join the system, get tested, pull some strings, and break some rules to accomplish his goals.
But even after all of that, even if he saves the Earth, there’s still the powers from the Quartet, shadowy organizations that Max has escaped once before.
If he could tackle one problem at a time, that would be ideal … but his luck is never that good. Luckily, he has some powerful new tools at his disposal, and maybe some new spirits …
Book three in this unique twist on isekai fantasy in the next LitRPG adventure by bestseller Blaise Corvin, author of Delvers LLC and Apocalypse Cultivation."
"FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE AND DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?
Small town America tears itself apart in this realist novel from one of the greats of science fiction
Leo Runcible - of Runcible Realty - is too excitable and too pushy. His wife drinks too much. He may be a man of principle, but Liberal Jewish Leo is an outsider in the lilywhite Carquinez, Marin County.
When he gets into a pointless argument with a customer over his neighbour Walt Dombrosio's house guests, the resulting ramifications follow a bizarre logic of cause and effect to lead in entirely unexpected directions ...
And can Leo really have found the skull of a Neanderthal man in middle America?"
"Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on Albion, a sword and sorcery world. He'd been hailed as the 'Hero of the World' after crawling his way up from poverty, eventually enjoying great fame and luxury.
But on mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. His parents need his help, and finding a new job would be more trouble than it's worth. However, when Earth is suddenly attacked, changing the natural laws of the world and threatening all life on the planet, Max will get a new opportunity to regain some of
his lost power … and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path.
The universe is much larger than Max had ever known during his first life. Max is not the hero of Albion anymore, but the drive to excel is still part of his nature.
And the more power he has, the easier it should be to save his world."

Facing vastly superior numbers, Emrael launches a bold military offensive, striking at the heart of the provinces. If his people are to avoid annihilation, they must first liberate his ancestral homeland of Iraea and convince the people to fight at his side.
Emrael’s true battle is against the Fallen God himself. But how does one fight a god with seemingly limitless power? And what do you do when the god of your enemies calls you his son?
As the war rages on, Emrael is tested through betrayal and blood, but nothing will stop him from protecting those he loves.
Victory, or death.
Be born the Age of Ire."

Aemilius and his new comrades in the Hidden Legion have a new mission: to infiltrate the villa of a powerful politician and foil a plot against him.

As his newfound magical powers slowly unfold, he begins to hear the thoughts of animals and finds unexpected new allies, including a housecat with an inflated sense of its own importance.
He’ll need all the help he can get, as the Legion find themselves locked in a desperate fight for survival against a foe with even darker and more terrible powers than those they faced in Alexandria."

"DEATH HAS COME TO AEMILIUS.
It is the twentieth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius Caesar Augustus. The Empire spans the known world. No power is greater, and nothing can threaten the peace it brings. And no one must know of the horrors that haunt it.
Aemilius thought he would die heroically in battle like his forefathers, mourned by a loving wife and many children, but he’s barely a man when a harpy flies down out of the old myths and knocks him from his horse. Stunned and helpless, he waits for his end … and is saved.
Formed on the bloody battlefield of Teutoburg, the Hidden Legion are an order of soldiers, magicians, and rogues so secret that the Empire itself would hunt them down if they were exposed. And now Aemilius is one of them.
A darkness is growing across the Empire, and someone is setting traps for the Legion themselves. Aemilius and his new comrades set off on the hunt for an unknown enemy …"
"Now privateers rather than criminals, the Redshift Runners protect Earth and its colonies from pirates …
Until trade routes are attacked by the unmanned fleets of the Prestige, the former protectors of ancient Earth. Though the deadly raids threaten the stability Deadeye and Talon have sacrificed so much to achieve, they discover its true
purpose: an operation code-named Termination Vector, which has targeted the Runners for destruction.
Old enemies reappear in a bid for power, abusing the very technology that has allowed humanity to settle the stars. Deadeye and his shipmates must gather their allies to confront the marauding fleets in a battle for the future of the Orion Spur.
But the cost might be more than they can bear."
"After deactivating Parallax and restoring access to Earth, Deadeye and the Redshift Runners have become the most infamous pirates in the Orion Spur.
Yet the old order has its hands full with Dying Suns, a political movement calling for a return to Earth—while leaving the barren, 'dying' worlds they were forced to colonize. Miners, farmers, and other settlers petition the Runners to fly them to humanity’s birthplace.
This upsets corporations and nobles who profited from such exploitation, and Deadeye undertakes the deadliest missions he’s ever flown to save the frustrated masses. But Talon, his beloved captain, has her own vendetta against the nobles, and Deadeye must face his past—and hers—if they are to survive."
