Evangeline is living the life of a normal teenager—going to school and hanging out with friends—until mysterious, severe symptoms begin appearing. After passing out in the middle of a party, life as she knows it spirals beyond her grasp. She is then diagnosed with a rare, genetic blood disorder that causes her body’s white blood cells to kill the red ones. In the delirium of her deteriorating health, a door to a parallel world opens before her; however, once she steps through it, the portal closes, and she is unable to return to Earth. The place Evangeline now finds herself in is called Terra Nova, a world wherein vampires rule supreme, with no traces of humanity left to speak of. Curious but afraid, she quickly learns that Terra Nova is not the shadow-side of Earth, but rather the tragic result of government experimentation. In order to survive, she must keep her mind open and accept the changes her body is undergoing; soon enough, those who she initially thinks are murderers become her trainers, whose help she must enlist if she ever hopes to return home—and soon enough, a romantic bond begins to bloom. Meanwhile, Evangeline’s brother and friends back on Earth try to figure out what happened to her, and how the government is involved, and how to bring her home. Unbeknownst to any of them is the mysterious outcast Bambi, whose secrecy disguises her power in making a devastating choice: save one world at the risk of destroying the other.

After two months of streaking through space, the spaceship Newton is finally closing in on the Red Planet. Experienced spacefarers, as well as complete novices, make up a diverse crew who have boldly chosen to trust the newly developed fusion vehicle with their very lives. Newton’s trek from Earth to Mars is making history, cutting travel time in half, carrying the largest crew ever, and bringing the first tourists to a newly constructed Martian hotel. Return to Terra Nova—Seeking Forgiveness explores the fact that all humans have physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, no matter where they go. Mars presents new challenges that will test even the bravest souls. Within the theme of forgiveness, Ritchie writes a novel of realistic science, interspersed with excitement and adventure. As her characters explore, problem solve, and develop relationships, they face life and death circumstances that testify to the fact that the God of the universe is with them. Volume 2 of the Return to Terra Nova trilogy will be enjoyed by all readers, as they are introduced to the courageous and resilient pioneers who are carving out a new way of life on the Red Planet frontier. Recommendations Thelma Ritchie once again combines a lifetime of wit and wisdom with cutting-edge technology to spin a fun futuristic tale. Ritchie’s scientific vision stirs the imagination, while her characters draw you in to the human drama of thrills and struggles of life on the frontier. In a world needing faith over fear, Return to Terra Nova is fuel for the soul. —Adam Richardson, PhD Lead Pastor, Church at Sandhurst I love Thelma Ritchie’s books. They are full of life lessons and science and excitement. The reality of living a life following Christ is presented honestly. God’s truths are not compromised by science but are verified as the characters come to Him. —Diane Quagliana, Retired Virology Research Technician, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Microbiology Children’s Leader, Bible Study Fellowship I was trying to read it slowly but then ended up immersed in the characters and story, and just sat and read and read and read. —Diana Low, Retired Educator, Mercer Island School District During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself not being able to put this book down. I found solace in reading Return to Terra Nova while my life shifted dramatically. The scripture is interwoven throughout reminding me of God’s promises. It explores the complexity of human relationships while set in a true-to-life scientific background. The setting on Mars incorporates many basic scientific principles such as horticulture as a source of both food and oxygen for the settlement. As a science educator, who is also a Christian, I highly recommend this book for all ages. —Susan Shelton, Middle School Science Teacher, Columbia School District These books are exactly what I was looking for when my kids were younger, as they are well written, enjoyable to read, and educational with a Christian message. —Colleen Broaddus, Former Trustee, The Bear Creek School Group Leader, Bible Study Fellowship

A haunting story of love, art, and betrayal, set against the heart-pounding backdrop of Antarctic exploration—from the Boston Globe-bestselling author of The Clover House. “Ingenious”—New York Times Book Review The year is 1910, and two Antarctic explorers, Watts and Heywoud, are racing to the South Pole. Back in London, Viola, a photo-journalist, harbors love for them both. In Terra Nova, Henriette Lazaridis seamlessly ushers the reader back and forth between the austere, forbidding, yet intoxicating polar landscape of Antarctica to the bustle of early twentieth century London. Though anxious for both men, Viola has little time to pine. She is photographing hunger strikers in the suffrage movement, capturing the female nude in challenging and politically powerful ways. As she comes into her own as an artist, she's eager for recognition and to fulfill her ambitions. And then the men return, eager to share news of their triumph. But in her darkroom, Viola discovers a lie. Watts and Heywoud have doctored their photos of the Pole to fake their success. Viola must now decide whether to betray her husband and her lover, or keep their secret and use their fame to help her pursue her artistic ambitions. Rich and moving, Terra Nova is a novel that challenges us to consider how love and lies, adventure and art, can intersect.

New stories set in Tom Kratman's hard-hitting Carrera military sf series "Send us your tired, your poor," says the inscription at the base of the great statue, "your huddled masses yearning to be free." But the future of the colony planet, Terra Nova, and its relations with Old Earth is far more a case of boot out your tired, your poor, your dissidents and troublemakers. Use us for a dumping ground for all your problems. Go ahead and abandon these here. This may have been fine, too, but for the UN and its corrupt bureaucracy insisting on maintaining control and milking the new world and its settlers, willing and unwilling both, bone dry. Contained herein are tales of the history of Mankind's future first colony, from the first failed attempt at colonization, to the rise in crime, to the rise in terrorism, to its descent into widespread civil war and rebellion...and ultimately liberation. As with most of human history, this history is messy, with good men and women turning bad, bad men and women inadvertently doing good, and blood flowing in the streets. Stories set in Tom Kratman’s Carrera series by Kasey Ezell Mike Massa Rob Hampson Chris Smith Peter Grant Chris Nutall Justin Watson Monalisa Foster Alex Macris Lawrence Railey and Tom Kratman At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

The city of Terra Nova was founded on a lie: that the spirits who cross over from the spirit world are evil and must be captured for the safety of humanity. But Molly Stout and her family have learned that the spirits are thinking, feeling beings, enslaved to enrich the wealthy, especially the spirit-harvesting company Haviland Industries and its founder, Charles Arkwright. With the help of her family and the aetheric spirits Ariel and Legerdemain, Molly has been fighting to free the spirits. But Terra Nova runs on spiritual machinery, and for each factory they shut down, another takes its place. As Haviland Industries and the authorities of Terra Nova tighten their nets around Molly, she begins to question whether she is really making any difference or if her rebellion puts people and spirits at risk. Terra Nova is the sequel to Dominion.

This “stunning” (USA Today) debut novel brings to life World War II-era and modern-day Greece—and tells the story of a vibrant family and the tragic secret kept hidden for generations. Boston, 2000: Calliope Notaris Brown receives a shocking phone call. Her beloved uncle Nestor has passed away, and now Callie must fly to Patras, Greece, to claim her inheritance. Callie’s mother, Clio—with whom Callie has always had a difficult relationship—tries to convince her not to make the trip. Unsettled by her mother’s strange behavior, and uneasy about her own recent engagement, Callie decides to escape Boston for the city of her childhood summers. After arriving at the heady peak of Carnival, Callie begins to piece together what her mother has been trying to hide. Among Nestor’s belongings, she uncovers clues to a long-kept secret that will alter everything she knows about her mother’s past and about her own future. Greece, 1940: Growing up in Patras in a prosperous family, Clio Notaris and her siblings feel immune to the oncoming effects of World War II, yet the Italian occupation throws their privileged lives into turmoil. Summers in the country once spent idling in the clover fields are marked by air-raid drills; the celebration of Carnival, with its elaborate masquerade parties, is observed at home with costumes made from soldiers’ leftover silk parachutes. And as the war escalates, the events of one fateful evening will upend Clio’s future forever. A moving novel of the search for identity, the challenges of love, and the shared history that defines a family, The Clover House is a powerful debut from a distinctive and talented new writer.
