The Planet Thieves is the first thrilling installment of a new middle-grade series by Dan Krokos. Two weeks ago, thirteen-year-old Mason Stark and seventeen of his fellow cadets from the Academy for Earth Space Command boarded the SS Egypt. The trip was supposed to be a short routine voyage to log their required spacetime for summer quarter. But routine goes out the airlock when they're attacked by the Tremist, an alien race who have been at war with humanity for the last sixty years. With the captain and crew dead, injured, or taken prisoner, Mason and the cadets are all that's left to warn the ESC. And soon they find out exactly why the Tremist chose this ship to attack: the Egypt is carrying a weapon that could change the war forever. Now Mason will have to lead the cadets in a daring assault to take back the ship, rescue the survivors, and recover the weapon. Before there isn't a war left to fight.

Mason Stark has a problem with minding his own business. This worked to his advantage when he helped bring peace between humans and the alien Tremist. He's now considered an intergalactic hero, but that hasn't made school any easier. With his new reputation, any bully with something to prove wants to fight him. With the new peace treaty on shaky ground, Mason is called upon to infiltrate the Tremist school for soldiers. Mason's bound to find trouble, especially now that he has the power to channel electricity through his Tremist gloves, but when his new classmates begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances, trouble might find him first. The Tremist are working on a secret project, but what Mason discovers goes beyond that, to an ancient, powerful enemy. With that very enemy threatening to invade, Mason must call on his friends, both human and Tremist, to fight. They call him a hero, and now that's what he must be—even if it requires the ultimate sacrifice. In this stellar follow-up to The Planet Thieves, Dan Krokos imbues The Black Stars with all the tension and action that made his first middle-grade novel such a gripping tale.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A thrilling fantasy debut—a high-stakes heist novel set in a gritty world of magic and malice, and perfect for fans of Six of Crows! In just over a year’s time, Ryia Cautella has already earned herself a reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the dockside city of Carrowwick—not to mention the sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not her real name. For the past six years, a deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from town to town, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster—the sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms of Thamorr. No matter how far or fast she travels, his servants never fail to track her down...but even the most powerful men can be defeated. Ryia’s path now leads directly into the heart of the Guildmaster’s stronghold, and against every instinct she has, it’s not a path she can walk alone. Forced to team up with a crew of assorted miscreants, smugglers, and thieves, Ryia must plan her next moves very carefully. If she succeeds, her freedom is won once and for all…but unfortunately for Ryia, her new allies are nearly as selfish as she is, and they all have plans of their own.

The heart-pounding conclusion to the daring Smoke Thieves trilogy. In this conclusion to the epic Smoke Thieves trilogy, the world has erupted into all-out war. King Aloysius is mining powerful demon smoke and using it to fuel an unstoppable army of children. March, now banished for treason, has joined up with this boy army. Forbidden from ever seeing Edyon again, and overwhelmed by his own betrayal, March no longer cares if he lives or dies. Catherine--now queen of Pitoria--must find a way to defeat the boy army, while also grappling with her own troubles: her secret demon smoke addiction, and unresolved tension with her former lover, Ambrose. Catherine seeks military support from Calidor by reaching out to her illegitimate cousin Edyon, who has been proclaimed heir to the Calidorian throne. But Edyon has almost no power as he's entangled in the unfamiliar machinations and manipulations of the royal court, finding that being the claimed son of a prince may be no easier than being a bastard. With Catherine, his love, now married off and moving on, and his brother and sister tortured and executed before him, Ambrose doesn't know what his role in this world is any more. He leads an expedition into the demon world, hoping to destroy the boy army's stores of demon smoke. In this underground world, he runs into Tash, whom everyone had believed dead. She has survived in this new world using magical abilities that, prior to now, only demons had. Aloysius will send his demon smoke-powered boy army to kill them all, if he can. But what nobody knows is that there is more to the smoke than meets the eye...

A new sky message has arrived. The message is from the Lord of Water, God of Earth, Skygod. Hespe Sky Hector is the recipient. This is the complete message: Manunnaki is to explore the evidence that the gods of mythology are responsible for today's social injustice and racial profiling. Hesh is to see past the skin color. Hesh is to understand how the gods expect humanity to exterminate itself with nuclear weapons. Hesh various creation ideologies are to evolve into one religion. Hesh eyes are to focus on the sky. Hesh is to find the clouds and evolve within them. Manunnaki is to develop Free Rise. Only when the Skygod rules become one law, may waterworld Earth find relief. Only then will Manunnaki find peace among the stars. The root of all Manunnaki evil is the coin. Lose the coin. Become servants, not masters. Mastery is design for your species to control other species, not to be applied within. 'Planet Heaven' initiated The Chronicles of Moon Earth. The idea is to disclose 35-year-old research leading to the possibility that in the remote past Earth was a moon revolving around planet Nibiru, a member of a different solar system. There was a second moon around this planet, called Heaven. Both 'Heaven and Earth' are the main pieces of the story of Genesis. This is a revelation! The main sources of Hespe Sky's study have been the Sumerian tablets, the Scriptures, and the Babylonian writer Berossus. But there's more: with Climate Change and other surface perils, Earth is telling you, "I have to move on, you have to move up." Get it? The clouds are calling you. Floating air cities is that call. So, the Hespe Sky is introducing the Free Rise Reactor model. A concept that one day might help you live in the sky, improve transportation and electrical energy production. More yet: The Hespe Sky is unmasking the ancient astronaut gold thieves called 'the gods of mythology.' This is the first work that explains how the gods turned the color of your skin into the hatred that rules on Earth. The Hespe Sky brings the real lifespans of the people of the time of Adam to Noah. Those 3-digit age years have got to be wrong! Like Noah living for 950 modern-day Earth years. Don't you believe it, Rose! This book will tell you a new story about Heaven and Earth, starting with the time before the current sun became the star of turn. Prepare for the pages that describe how, by reading between the lines, Hespe Sky Hector discovered we might be the progeny of a species of human hermaphrodites that inhabited ancient moon Earth. Could they be the species the gods genetic/surgically mutilated to create Adam and Eve? These ancient surgeons were the alien 'gods' that flew in Earth's air space on incredible machines, perhaps powered by free rise reactors. No one has gone that deep into your past. No one! So, yeah, you might want to join Skygod and his servant, the Hespe Sky!
