Seven Seasons of Buffy

Contributors include bestselling legend David Brin, critically acclaimed novelist Scott Westerfeld, cult-favorite vampire author Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and award-winner Sarah Zettel. The show and its cast are the topics of such critical pieces as Lawrence Watt-Evans's "Matchmaking in Hellmouth" and Sherrilyn Kenyon's "The Search for Spike's Balls." An informed introduction for those not well acquainted with the show, and a source of further research for Buffy buffs, this book raises interesting questions concerning a much-loved program and future cult classic.
Marines

Smoke and Iron
Jess Brightwell and his friends are the rebels trying to free humanity's knowledge from the grasps of the Archivist Magister of the Great Library. Engaged in this deadly game, Jess finds himself in an Alexandrian cell with nothing but his wits and skill to aid him. With every word, written or spoken, meticulously monitored by the Obscurists, Jess has no way to contact his friends and family. When Jess's girlfriend, Morgan, figures out how to hack the Codex, the system by which all language and knowledge is recorded, it takes just one word to spark the fire of rebellion. When the library, thousands of years in the making, is set to smoke and burn, will a group of smugglers, thieves and scholars be enough to save it?
The Very Few, the Proud
This history follows and examines both the expanding opportunities for women in the Marine Corps and the fading cultural gender distinctions in the last quarter of the twentieth century. The work is derived from official documents and personal files, interviews, conversations, letters, newspaper articles, Internet access to research archives, and hundreds of email submissions from current and former Marines. The generation of women described in this history proved themselves in every clime and place, including in command and in combat. Women choose to be Marines for the same reasons as men: duty to country, opportunity, adventure, escaping hardship, or to grow as a person. This history takes us to the start of the twenty-first century.--Provided by publisher.
Bridge of Shadows
New York Times–Bestselling Author: In El Paso, Texas, tension grows between a doctor serving the undocumented and her ex-husband, a border patrol agent . . . Dr. Ana Maria Ross Gutierrez runs a clinic near the Texas-Mexico border, taking care of those who’ve crossed into the United States illegally. Ana was once married to Peter Ross, but his decision to join the border patrol drove her to divorce him—despite Peter’s continuing feelings for her and his conviction that he’s protecting the desperate immigrants in his own way. Now, as hostility and hatred heat up in El Paso, Ana, Peter, and a young mother are entangled in danger and violence that threaten them all, in this emotional, suspenseful tale by the New York Times–bestselling author of ITW Thriller Award finalist Stillhouse Lake and the Revivalist and Morganville Vampires series. “Immediately draws the reader into the desperation and the fear of these people who go to such lengths to become part of the American society . . . extremely well-written . . . The characters are interesting and multi-dimensional.” —Literary Times
