Kicking off a riveting sci-fi trilogy, National Book Award winner Pete Hautman plunges us into a world where time is a tool - and the question is, who will control it?
The first time his father disappeared, Tucker Feye had just turned thirteen. The Reverend Feye simply climbed on the roof to fix a shingle, let out a scream, and vanished — only to walk up the driveway an hour later, looking older and worn, with a strange girl named Lahlia in tow. In the months that followed, Tucker watched his father grow distant and his once loving mother slide into madness. But then both of his parents disappear. Now in the care of his wild Uncle Kosh, Tucker begins to suspect that the disks of shimmering air he keeps seeing — one right on top of the roof—hold the answer to restoring his family. And when he dares to step into one, he's launched on a time-twisting journey — from a small Midwestern town to a futuristic hospital run by digitally augmented healers, from the death of an ancient prophet to a forest at the end of time. Inevitably, Tucker's actions inevitably alter the past and future, changing his world forever.
Sara Jane Rispoli is just a normal sixteen-year-old girl coping with school and a developing crush— until her parents and younger brother are kidnapped, and she discovers her family has been a key figure of Chicago’s Outfit (aka the mob) for decades. Her father, grandfather and great grandfather all used their special ability, cold fury, to settle disputes between the two mob factions—the muscle and the money. And unless Sara wants the mob to think her now missing family has turned state’s evidence, she will have to fill her father’s shoes as the mob’s peacemaker, using her own cold fury.

These both sound good, but I especially Cold Fury. Think I'll be adding it to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteHi, Lindsay!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and commenting on my WOW!
I have to say that your picks are always guaranteed to be TERRIFIC!! I especially like the plot of the first one, "The Obsidian Blade". Man, I haven't read any really GOOD science fiction in a while...I guess I've been concentrating too much on YA paranormal romance! Lol. I've never heard of this author, either. Well, on to Goodreads I go, in order to find out more about him, and add this book to my TBR pile! I'll also check out "Cold Fury". I don't normally go for Mafia stories, but this one does have an interesting twist to it!
Thanks for featuring these books!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! : )
