Qualify (The Atlantis Grail Book 1) by Vera Nazarian

A high-octane dystopian SF thriller for fans of ANCIENT ALIENS and THE HUNGER GAMES, from a Nebula Award Finalist Author. International cross-genre phenomenon! Series Optioned for Film!

You have two options… You die, or you Qualify.

Nerd, geek, and awkward smart girl Gwen Lark must compete against all other teens on Earth, in order to Qualify for interplanetary rescue from an asteroid apocalypse! Can she save everyone she loves?

The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.

But there’s a catch.

They can only take a tiny percent of the Earth’s population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.

Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.

Because there’s a loophole.

If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted… Such as curing your mother’s cancer.

There is only one problem.

Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she’s a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she’s come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.

This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition—including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she’s been crushing on, and who doesn’t seem to know she exists.

Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.

You Qualify or you die.

About I Still Drive Your Truck

‘One day your prince will come’. Yeah right! He’s no prince and she doesn’t believe in fairy tales.

When Leighton Gray travels to Sierra Leone, the last person she expects to run into is her dead fiancé’s brother. Derek Brennan is trouble with a capital T. He’s devastatingly handsome, conceited, arrogant and a womanizer. And he’s cost her everything.

Yet the forbidden attraction between them is more powerful than ever and as destructive as wildfires.

Leighton is off limits, always had been. She’s beautiful, sad, and broken, and he’s to blame. But Derek can’t stay away. The pull is too strong. And it could be the end of him. Or it could be his redemption.

Can she forgive him? Can she forgive herself?

When she isn’t writing, she works as a ward clerk in a busy ER of the local hospital. Inspiration is found in long walks with Trigger the German Shepard along the beautiful trail system she lives beside. Travel in the winter to tropical beach destinations is an addiction. She loves to sit in a lounge chair on a white sand beach, Pina Colada in one hand, paperback in the other while the waves crash in. Life is good.

About Timbuktu: A Captivating Guide to an Important Ancient City and How It Became a Part of the Wealthy Mali Empire during the Reign of Mansa Musa by Captivating History

Whether we realize it or not, stories and characters from Timbuktu are everywhere in our modern-day lives.

The great Mansa Musa was the most iconic king of the Mali Empire. Considered to be one of the richest men ever, Mansa Musa is not only the right answer to a commonly asked trivia question but also one of the inspirations behind Marvel’s Black Panther. Although the other kings who reigned over Timbuktu may not be known quite as well as Mansa Musa, their lives have also inspired stories we are quite familiar with today.

Likely the second most well-known character in Timbuktu’s history is Mansa Sundiata, and although you may not know him by name, you may recognize his nickname: the Lion King. Many people throughout the years believe he may have served as an inspiration for Disney’s iconic movie.

Timbuktu was once a conglomerate of trade, education, arts, and religion, attracting settlers and visitors from all over the world, similar to the massive cities of today. So, how did a city that could be titled the New York City or London of its time become synonymous with the middle of nowhere?

Learn about Timbuktu’s various leaders, the people’s struggle to regain power, and why such a great city is now almost in ruins.

In this book, you will learn about:
• The foundation of Timbuktu and some believed translations of its name
• The life of the Tuaregs, the original people of Timbuktu
• The creation of the Mali Empire and its acquisition of Timbuktu
• The various mansas of the Mali Empire, including the great Mansa Musa
• The collapse of the Mali Empire
• The creation and early stages of the Songhai Empire
• The various kings of the Songhai Empire who transformed Timbuktu
• The collapse of the Songhai Empire and Morocco’s occupation in Timbuktu
• The early Tuareg rebellions and the transfer of power in Timbuktu between the various groups still inhabiting the city during the Moroccan occupation
• The French acquisition of Morocco and Timbuktu
• French Sudan’s (modern-day Mali’s) road to independence
• The creation of the Republic of Mali
• The modern-day struggles in Timbuktu between the Tuareg rebels and the terrorist occupations
• The current state of Timbuktu and what’s in store in its future

About Fate Forsaken by Robin Ferrier

Just when Ty thought he had gotten his life to some kind of normal, guess who decides to drop by?

Remember that big plan Jupiter has been working on? Seems like he is implementing it. Like, now. Knowing him that can’t be good for any dimension, let alone Earth’s.

Not only does he have to figure out exactly what Jupiter has been planning for so long but he also has to figure out a way to stop it. All it will take is navigating a steam punk and disco dimension, outrunning another Gatekeeper and breaking out of a cell made of goo. Simple enough right? At least he has the help of a diabolical muse that likes to rule over humans. What could possibly go wrong?

This time it’s not just one dimension at stake. It’s all of them.
