Eli ($0.60), by Bill MyersBook Description
In this techno-thriller from the best-selling author of the Fire of Heaven Trilogy, a successful TV newscaster is hurled into a parallel world exactly like ours except for one minor detail: Christ didn't come there 2,000 years ago, but today.
What If Jesus Had Not Come Until Today? Who Would Follow Him? Who Would Kill Him? A fiery car crash hurls TV journalist Conrad Davis into another world exactly like ours except for one detail-Jesus Christ did not come 2,000 years ago, but today. Starting with angels heralding a birth in the back of a motel laundry room, the skeptical Davis watches the gospel unfold in today's society as a Messiah in T-shirt and blue jeans heals, raises people from the dead, and speaks such startling truths that he captures the heart of a nation. But the young man's actions and his criticism of the religious establishment earn him enemies as ruthless as they are powerful. An intense and thought-provoking novel, Eli strips away religious tradition to present Jesus fresh and unvarnished. With gripping immediacy, Bill Myers weaves a story whose truth will refresh your faith.
The Golden Age ($2.99), by John WrightBook Description
The Golden Age is Grand Space Opera, a large-scale SF adventure novel in the tradition of A. E. Van Vogt and Roger Zelazny (with perhaps a bit of Cordwainer Smith enriching the style). It is an astounding story of super science, a thrilling wonder story that recaptures the excitements of SF's golden age writers. Phaethon, of Radamanthus House, is attending a glorious party at his family mansion celebrating the thousand year anniversary of the High Transcendence. There he meets an old man who accuses him of being an imposter, and then an alien from Neptune (resembling a small iceberg) who claims to be an old friend. The alien tells him that essential parts of his memory were removed and stored by the very government Phaethon believes to be wholly honorable. It shakes his faith. He is an exile from himself. And so Phaethon embarks upon a quest across the transformed solar system--Jupiter is now a second sun, Mars and Venus terraformed, humanity immortal--among humans, intelligent machines, and bizarre life forms, to recover his memory, and to learn what crime he planned to warrant such preemptive punishment. His quest is to regain his true identity. The Golden Age is one of the major, ambitious SF novels of the year and the international launch of an important new figure in the genre.
