- "A pulse-pounding new thriller from the #1 bestselling author and astronaut Chris Hadfield, Final Orbit lifts off as the joint Apollo-Soyuz mission--meant to ease Cold War tensions--launches. But a new player has entered the space race, and all bets are now off as to who will win. 1975. A new Apollo mission launches into orbit, on course to dock with a Russian Soyuz craft. Three NASA astronauts and three cosmonauts will join forces to celebrate a new dawn of Soviet-American cooperation. But a third power is rising in the race to dominate Space. As NASA Flight Controller Kaz Zemeckis listens in on the mission from Earth, three of the six astronauts are killed in a depressurisation accident. And from a remote location in east Asia, a capsule secretly launches with China's first astronaut aboard, purpose unknown. A thriller that packs in all of the historical detail, political intrigue and pure rush that made Chris Hadfield's first two novels in the Apollo Murders Series runaway bestsellers, Final Orbit takes us back to Space--and brings to life Tsien Hsue-Shen: a real, Chinese-born, American-trained genius in rocketry who was arrested during the McCarthy witchhunts, deported after five years of house arrest ... and became the father of China's nuclear and space programs."--

- "NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is designing a probe which will be dropped into the Kraken Mare, one of the methane seas of Titan. There, it will embark on a journey of exploration. As the probe is being tested at Goddard, things go awry, and an explosion kills seven scientists. The AI program in the probe, a powerful, self-modifying AI called "Dorothy," flees into the Internet. Series character Wyman Ford is tapped by the president's science advisor to track down the software with the help of Dorothy's creator, Melissa Shepherd. As the two of them trace Dorothy in her wanderings in cyberspace, they realize Dorothy's horrific experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her--utterly. But for the better ... or worse? At the same time, they learn Dorothy is being pursued by a pair of Wall Street high-frequency traders, who want to turn her into an algorithmic-trading slave-bot. Pursued relentlessly by the traders, Dorothy jumps out of the Internet into a child's toy robot, to hide. Now the only person standing between the murderous algo traders and Dorothy is a lonely, twelve-year-old boy living on an isolated bay on the coast of northern California. But is Dorothy bent on doing good ... or on wiping out the cancer of the human race?"--Provided by publisher.

- Endurance : a year in space, a lifetime of discovery / by Kelly, Scott,1964-author.; Dean, Margaret Lazarus,1972-author.;
- "A stunning memoir from the astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station--a candid account of his remarkable voyage, of the journeys off the planet that preceded it, and of his colorful formative years. The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly inimical to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home--an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on another mission, his twin brother's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and passion resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging step in American spaceflight. A natural storyteller and modern-day hero, Kelly has a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. Here, in his personal story, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy."--
