"The smallest moment may matter, a character tells Felix when explaining the possibility of an infinite number of universes branching off from tiny, seemingly insignificant actions and decisions. Weaving together physics, philosophy, and wry humor, Maslakovic's inventive debut is a delight. -- Kristine Huntley, Booklist

Commune of Women
Author: Susan Still
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
*Available free in: United Kingdom, Asia & Pacific, Australia, Canada, United States, India*
DESCRIPTION: On an ordinary Los Angeles morning, the lives of seven women are about to become inextricably entangled, as they converge upon LA International Airport for various purposes. Suddenly, the morning erupts into chaos, as black-clad terrorists charge into the terminal, guns blazing. As the concourse becomes a killing field, six of the women dodge a hail of bullets to find refuge in a tiny staff room. Betty, a Reseda housewife, Heddi, a Jungian analyst, Sophia, a rugged and savvy mountain woman, Erika, a top-level executive, Ondine, an artist just returning from France, and Pearl, an ancient bag lady, all traumatized or injured, barricade the door and cower down, hoping to survive. As four days drag by, their expectations of an early rescue dashed, the women find a way to dominate their panic and terror by telling their life stories. As their situation becomes increasingly grave, the women begin to reveal their most intimate secrets, as their stories descend deeper into the dark shadows of their lives-and they discover that part of survival is simply surviving one another. At the same time, in a similar small room close by, the sole female terrorist, dubbed simply X by her so-called Brothers, has the task of watching a bank of surveillance monitors. Apparently forgotten by her co-conspirators, she nevertheless is the best informed of the happenings in the outside world--happenings that are not easily understood. Why are the police and FBI so slow to respond? What has motivated this attack? Who are these terrorists and what do they want? And will the women survive to tell their tale? Answers to these questions slowly reveal the terrible web of conspiracy and deceit into which they all have fallen. But the most profound revelation of all is how each has betrayed herself.

Endurance (Revised)
** Previously Offered June 27, 2011 **
Author: April Thomas
Genre: Fiction - Action - Adventure
DESCRIPTION: Mei sat in a dimly lit building fighting the depths of unconsciousness. She was amazed that she hadn't past out by now. Her strength had returned, and she lifted her head looking up at Thomas. He stood smug glaring down at her. Another contraction came, and Mei screamed in pain. Instinctively, she wanted to curl into the fetal position, but her arms had been tied behind her back. Her legs were tied to each leg of the chair. Blood from her head injury blinded her eyes. A dirty cloth was tied tightly around her mouth causing the sides of her mouth to tear. "Perfect timing, soon I will bring your baby into the world, and let you watch as I kill him, then I'm going to kill you slowly," Thomas growled, he was unrecognizable he looked like a mad man. Mei began to cry; she knew something terrible was going to happen with meeting her mother for lunch.
