Gilgamesh in the 21st Century: A Personal Quest to Understand Mortality by Paul Bracken

"Must I die?" asked Gilgamesh. Forty five centuries later, we're still asking the same question. Science writer Paul Bracken embarks on a lighthearted assessment of the human condition, to explore what it means to be mortal, and what our fate may be. This scientific reimagining of the ancient Gilgamesh quest delves into a multitude of topics including the origin of life, the workings of the human mind, and the possibilities for life prolongation. The ancient Gilgamesh was so distraught at the death of his friend Enkidu, and so sickened by the knowledge that he too would die, that he rebelled against his fate and set out on a search for salvation. Likewise, at the age of eleven, Bracken wondered if there might be a way to bring his grandfather back from the dead and has been pondering this question ever since. Is death a problem to be solved, or is it an essential aspect of our humanity? "We human beings instinctively resist the notion of personal extinction. In his thoughtful and hugely readable Gilgamesh in the 21st Century, Paul Bracken canters effortlessly through an amazing range of science to help put this fraught human proclivity in perspective, both for himself and for us." -- IAN TATTERSALL, American Museum of Natural History, New York City.

The Burned Spy (The Immortal Spy Book 1) by K. A. Krantz

Gods. Always ready to screw you. When Bix the Gatekeeper is summoned from exile a hundred and seventy years early by the goddess of the Norse Under World, the former Dark Ops agent knows there's a catch. On the surface, the terms of the deal are simple. Someone attacked the pantheon's ambassador to the Mid Worlds and left the ambassador in a coma. In exchange for early parole, Bix must identify the perpetrator and drag their soul to Hel. It'd be a sweet contract, if not for the details. The ambassador is Bix's ex-girlfriend, the lead suspect is the key witness from Bix's trial, and the organization leading the official investigation is the same intelligence guild that disavowed Bix when a covert op went pear-shaped. Undeterred, Bix returns to her old stomping grounds where clues in the smoldering woods of Centralia, Pennsylvania, lead to the waterfront of Washington, DC, and Worlds beyond. Once valued for her skills creating passageways as small as a capillary or as large as a continent, Bix's success now depends on the relationships she was forced to abandon. As she squares off against friends who betrayed her and enemies keen to destroy her, Bix follows a trail of secrets, torture, and treason that leads to the very superpowers who banished her. With her freedom on the line and revenge within reach, this highly-trained operative will take on Fates, dragons, angels, and gods to get exactly what she wants. Hel hath no fury like a burned spy.

Marked: Ancestral Wars Book One by Ashlyn Grace

Two hundred years after the Humans fell to the Draconic, it seems all hope for equality may be lost. The only light in the darkness is a prophecy handed down by an absent goddess that promises peace and prosperity following the union of a divinely chosen champion from each warring race. Now the Marked have awakened and the race is on as they must find one another, accept one another, before the High Council can eliminate the only threat to their power for good. “If you didn't have bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.” I doubt my dad meant those words to be even half as prophetic as they turned out to be but alas, here we are. Tucked in the arm-pit of the Adrienic where anti-human sentiments were practically legendary in their cruelty, the High Council's announcement couldn't have come at a worse time. The Marked had awakened, the champion of the Human race was out there somewhere just waiting to fulfill the prophecy and claim their throne and here I am, a Clanless Human sporting a funky birthmark on my forearm and a bad attitude. I never would have guessed what it could mean. But it's hard to argue with the King of the Isles, especially when he shows off his own birthmark, the mirror image of my own. Now he's talking about mates and coups, and I've got a strange new magic that I have to figure out how to control before the High Council and their loyalists show up to wipe us off the map. Lucky? Hell, I'm just hoping I don't blow myself up before I can figure out how to save my family.

In the countries east of the White River, some call Damage, Inc. heroes. Others call them criminals. The truth lies somewhere in between. Hector de los Santos, the team's leader, has only two rules about bounties: finish every job, no matter what it takes, and no charity cases. Aislinn Yves, the team's half-elven tracker, thought she'd never see the tiny village of Ruthaer again. That is, until a plea for help from her father's old friend, Tallinn, arrives. The job sounds simple: track down a few missing people, perhaps a killer. The trick is convincing Hector to put their current job on hold. Unfortunately, things are worse than Tallinn implied. Unnatural weather, restless dead, and gruesome murders are just the beginning, for the town harbors a terrible secret that could spell the end of Damage, Inc. and drag Ruthaer straight to Hell. ********** Phantoms of Ruthaer is a paranormal thriller set in the near-Earth fantasy world of the Cayn Trilogy. If you enjoy tales of gritty heroes willing to do whatever it takes to get a job done, then this is the story for you!
