    There Will Be Time by William Quick Paperback Science Fiction

    Legendary science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke once noted that, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

    Seven billion years ago, two vast civilizations battled for control of our galaxy, wielding powers incomprehensible to our young species. After a billion years of war, the losers fled our space-time continuum to escape utter destruction. Now they are returning to resume the titanic struggle.

    And on an obscure, backwater planet the natives call Earth, IKE, an Intelligent Kinesthetic Experiment (Kinesthetic means learning by doing), lives in the most powerful quantum computer on the planet, where he is is painfully learning to achieve real consciousness and become humanity's first true Artificial Intelligence. But enormous cosmic forces are gathering to destroy him before that can happen.

    Now time is running out for this tiny consciousness struggling to be born. Will there be enough time for him to save himself in the struggle of the giants?

    Every Last One : A Novel in Trade Paperback by Anna Quindlen

    Mary Beth Latham has built her life around her family, around caring for her three teenage children and preserving the rituals of their daily life. When one of her sons becomes depressed, Mary Beth focuses on him, only to be blindsided by a shocking act of violence. What happens afterward is a testament to the power of a woman’s love and determination, and to the invisible lines of hope and healing that connect one human being to another. Ultimately, as rendered in Anna Quindlen’s mesmerizing prose, Every Last One is a novel about facing every last one of the things we fear the most, about finding ways to navigate a road we never intended to travel.
