Maria Padian’s new novel 不知从何而来 captures the truth of the adage that the only thing constant in life is change.  巴蒂安的主角, high school senior 和 soccer team captain Tom Bouchard, experiences the futility of one’s efforts at controlling outcomes.  He discovers how even a simple action or choice can have far-reaching repercussions 和 realizes that luck can “curl up next to you one minute, 然后再咬你一口。”.

在Anna Jarzab的书《皇冠登录welcome》中, Book One in the Many-Worlds Trilogy, readers will find some of the spirit of Libba Bray’s Going Bovine–which features multiple scientific 和 literary allusions–和 some of the wonderings of Alisa Valdes’ The Temptation–which invites questions about parallel universes 和 presents a paranormal romance.  鉴于这些品质, 错综复杂的情节, 以及萨沙·劳森这样的角色, 朱莉安娜公主, 和 secret agent Thomas Mayhew who invite connection 和 whose stories involve intrigue, this science-fiction romance provides tremendous reader appeal.
