"ZNIDD SUDDABIT!" So the Ulleran challenge begins, with the rantings of a prophet and a seemingly incidental street riot.

Then, overnight, war is everywhere. How it will end is in the (merely) two Terran hands of the new governor-general, a man shrewd enough to know that "it is easier to banish a habit of thought than a piece of knowledge." The problem is, the particular piece of knowledge he needs hasn\'t been used in 450 years....

Pied Piper
Nevil Shute
Fiction / Nonfiction
One of Nevil Shute’s most exciting novels, Pied Piper is the gripping story of one elderly man's daring attempt to rescue a group of children during the Nazi invasion of France.
It is the spring of 1940 and John Sidney Howard wants nothing more than to enjoy his fishing holiday in southern France in peace and quiet. However, the Nazi conquest of the Low Countries puts an end to that, and he is asked by friends to take their two children back to England. Crossing France with his young charges seems simple enough at first—until the Germans invade, rendering them fugitives. As Howard struggles to sneak across France, he picks up several more helpless children of various nationalities. They walk for miles in an endless river of refugees, strafed by German planes and hiding in barns at night. By the time Howard and his flock of little ones reach the Channel, his plan of escaping on a fishing boat has become utterly impossible, and in their final confrontation with the invaders, all their lives are at stake.

Paratime
Part #1 of "Paratime" series by H. Beam Piper
Science Fiction & Fantasy / Mystery & Thrillers
This book is a collection of five short stories, written by the incomparable H. Beam Piper, and set in his Paratime universe (or more correctly, multiverse). In this milieu, human society has developed the technology to move laterally between parallel universes. This advanced society looks upon itself as 'First Level'. Second Level contains societies that are about as advanced as First Level, Third Level is less advanced, our own 'Europo-American' world is firmly on the Fourth Level, and Fifth Level contains worlds where (for one reason or another) human life does not exist. Within each of these levels (except First), there are many parallel worlds, many only marginally different, and totaling up to ten-to-the-hundred-thousandth time-lines! Protecting the secret of the existence of this multiverse is the Paratime Police, and these are their stories. 1) He Walked Around The Horses reveals the fate of an unfortunate Napoleonic diplomat accidentally moved to a parallel time-line where the American and French Revolutions were crushed. 2) Police Operation introduces Verkan Vall, Special Chief's Assistant, who needs to clean up a dangerous Venusian pet, which was accidentally left on our time-line. 3) In Last Enemy, a Second Level society has scientifically proven reincarnation, and now it's up to Vall to rescue his ex-wife Hadron Dalla from the resulting explosion. 4) Time Crime pits Vall and the Paratime Police against a well-organized band of criminals, who are jeopardizing the Paratime secret. 5) And, in Temple Trouble, when a group of First Level workers fall into the hands of a Fourth Level king, it's up to Vall to ensure that the Paratime secret isn't wrung from them.1 • Introduction (Paratime) • (1981) • essay by John F.

The Basilisk's Lover
Alexa Piper
Leon is a basilisk, a snake-demon. He is also a teacher and used to hiding his true nature, that dark secret that has always kept him apart from others. When he meets Cy, what Leon thought would just be a fling quickly turns into more. Cy and Leon may be from different worlds, but with a dangerous creature feeding on the students at Fairview University where Leon teaches, those worlds soon collide. Cy finds himself pulled into a world of mages and shapeshifters, of seductive snake-demons. To help find what is murdering students at the university, Cy, along with the St. John Investigations team, decides to go undercover. He ends up a university student once more — and Leon is his hot teacher. Cy will need to come to grips with the supernatural and with his feelings for Leon. If opposites truly attract, the cold-blooded basilisk and the warm-blooded human might just find their way to a happily-ever-after, but not before they figure out what haunts Fairview...
