"What's it like, not being real?" 
 
In LA, where today's star is tomorrow's busboy, discarded "Fictionals"-characters spun into flesh-and-blood by technology-are everywhere. Screenwriter Niles Golan's therapist is a Fictional. So is his best friend. So (maybe) is the woman in the bar he can't stop staring at. It's getting so you can't tell who's real and who's not. 
 
Niles isn't completely sure how real he is...

The Fictional Man

Michael Carroll

A shopping mall where droids sell organs harvested from street trash... 
A murderous imaginary friend... 
A psychotic composer drafting music from pain... 
All in a day's work for the Lawman of the Future. 
 
Edited by and with an introduction by Dredd veteran Michael Carroll, Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories gathers the very best short stories from more than a decade of the Judge Dredd Megazine, including stories by legends Alan Grant, Gordon Rennie and Simon Spurrier, among countless others...

Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories

Premee Mohamed

Eva is a survivor. She's not sure what she survived, exactly, only that They invaded without warning, killed nearly all of humanity, and relentlessly attack everyone who's left. All she can do to stay sane, in the blockaded city that's no longer home, is keep a journal about her struggle. 
 
Fifty years later, Eva's words are found by Emerson, a young anthropologist sent to the ruins to study what happened. The discovery could shed light on the Invasion, turning the unyielding mystery of the short war into a story of hope and defiance.

These Lifeless Things

Derek Kunsken

Brought to you by Penguin. 
 
Life can exist anywhere. And anywhere there is life, there is home. 
 
In the swirling clouds of Venus, the families of la colonie live on floating plant-like trawlers, salvaging what they can in the fierce acid rain and crackling storms. Outside is dangerous, but humankind's hold on the planet is fragile and they spend most of their days simply surviving. 
 
But Venus carries its own secrets, too. In the depths, there is a wind that shouldn't exist. 
 
And the House of Styx wants to harness it.

House of Styx

Chuck Wendig

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world's last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes an astonishing tapestry of humanity that Harlan Coben calls "a suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic." 
 
Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And, like Shana, there are other "shepherds" who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead. 
 
For on their journey, they will discover an America convulsed with terror and violence, where this apocalyptic epidemic proves less dangerous than the fear of it. As the rest of society collapses all around them-and an ultraviolent militia threatens to exterminate them-the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart-or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.

Wanderers

Sammy H.K. Smith

Beaten. Branded. Defiant. 
 
Anna is a possession. She is owned by the man named Will, shielded from the world of struggles by his care. He loves her, protects her, and then breaks her. Anna is obedient, dutiful, and compliant. Anna does not know her place in the world. 
 
When she falls pregnant, Anna leaves her name behind, and finds the strength to run. But the past - and Will - catch up with her in an idyllic town with a dark secret, and this time, it's not just Anna who is at risk.

Anna

Gareth L Powell

Four hundred years ago, Ed and Alice Rico threw themselves through a mysterious portal on the London Underground, hunting for Ed's lost brother-Alice's husband-Verne. 
 
Now, starship captain Katherine Abdulov embarks on a desperate race against ruthless rival captain-and her former lover-Victor Luciano, to try and earn back her family's trust.

The Recollection

Adrian Tchaikovsky

Ogres are bigger than you. Ogres are stronger than you. Ogres rule the world. 
 
It's always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call. Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. It's always been that way. It's the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes. 
 
But when the headman's son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlord's son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.

Ogres

Major Chenesai Okonkwo is an Auditor for the Sub-Saharan Union. Her mission: to find out if the Sixth Expeditionary Force's newly discovered time gate has been compromised. Is the Union's revolutionary discovery already doomed, eleven years in the future? 
 
But there is another, more personal mission. The possible murder of her husband remains unsolved. But are the two things connected? Can she navigate the world of aliens, spies, politics and time paradoxes to find the truth, and save her people's future?

Pollen From A Future Harvest

The Union-Congregate war rages onward and the Union's premier fighter pilots, the Homo Eridanus, start encountering deadly resistance from strange pilots on the Congregate side. Among wreckage, they find that new Congregate pilots aren't human, but Homo quantus, with strange wiring and AI connections. 
 
At the same time, the Puppets come to the Union with offers of an alliance for a dangerous price: the rescue of the geneticist Antonio Del Casal who is a captive at Venus, with over a hundred Homo quantus. 
The only one who might be able to break through the Congregate defences at Venus is a con man who has given up his profession.

The Quantum War

Eeleen Lee

Go deeper, they said. Look closer. 
 
Pleo Tanza is a survivor. Her father was broken by tragedy, her twin sister is dead-chewed up and spat out by the corruption and injustice of Chatoyance-but she's going to make it, whatever it takes. She's going to get off this rock. 
 
But escape is for the rich or lucky. Pleo's framed for the murder of a rival student-the daughter of one of the colony's wealthy, squabbling clans-and goes on the run, setting off a chain events that could destroy the fragile balance of the old colony forever...

Liquid Crystal Nightingale

Ren Hutchings

Stranded in the Dark 
 
In the final throes of the generations-long war with the alien Felen, smuggler Jereth Keeven's junk freighter breaks down in a strange rift in deep space, with little chance of rescue - until they encounter a science vessel that claims to be from 152 years in the future. Engineer Uma Ozakka has always been fascinated with the past, especially the desperate peace mission that ended the war with the Felen and ushered in a new age of collaboration - a mission Keeven's first mate Leesongronski is supposed to be leading right now. If Ozakka is right, more than the fates of two ships hangs in the balance...

Someone in Time

Mário Coelho

The internet is a lonesome god. 
 
Liverloin is a fractured man, a collection of personas-artificial constructs of wants, fears and needs-created by underground science-artists to help him hide in a hyper-connected world. But he can't hide from Big Momma. 
She is the living internet, a benevolent AI who knows everything and everyone... and somehow is in love with Liverloin. 
 
Agent Stevly works for DAIS, an AI on the other side of the internet: the darkness to Big Momma's light. DAIS's agents manipulate news, information and media and pull the strings behind world events, but DAIS cannot control Big Momma or understand why she loves Liverloin. Agent Stevly, bound body and soul to DAIS, will stop at nothing to find the answer.

But Paulo Xirau was AI; and as Nikolai and Lily delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding Paulo's death, South must choose between his loyalty to his country and his conscience.

Judge Dredd: Dredd V Death

Seven years ago, the last survivor of Earth crashed through uncountable dimensions and fetched up in a strange new world. Now Nick Prasad owes his life and livelihood to the royal family that employs him as a prophet, even though they are servants of the Ancient Ones who destroyed his home.  When a long-expected war breaks out, he's eager to help organize troops and supplies... until he's approached by a spy who claims to possess a secret that could end the reign of the Ancient Ones forever. The first step is jailbreaking a god who's probably been locked up a little too long (and that's the easy part).  Nick must choose between joining a fragile resistance founded on secrets and lies, or revealing it to the enemies he's sworn to serve. But if everything works, there might be a chance to free the entire multiverse from the grasp of the Ancient Ones... both past and future.

When linguist and smuggler Sean Wren is blackmailed into a job to get some data off an ancient ship, he's not expecting it to be the Philosopher's Stone: a literal recipe for immortality. Unfortunately, he's not the only one looking. The undying Ministers, mysterious aliens that have ruled over humanity for thousands of years, want the data too. So does the Republic, the last free human government. To add to the fun, the map to the treasure is in a long-lost language, the ship's filled with dangerous traps and genetically-engineered monsters, and the nearby star's going supernova in a few days. Easy job, right?

The Immortality Thief

Edward Ashton

Dying isn't any fun...but at least it's a living. 
 
Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human 
expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there's a mission 
that's too dangerous-even suicidal- the crew turns to Mickey. After one 
iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. 
Mickey signed on to escape from both bad debts and boredom on Midgard. 
 
After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his 
deal...and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it. 
 
When he goes missing and is presumed dead at the hands of 
deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty, and their troubles 
really begin.

Mickey7

C. S. E. Cooney

Life gets complicated when Death gets involved. 
 
To be born into a family of royal assassins pretty much guarantees that your life is going to be... rather unusual. Especially if, like Miscellaneous "Lanie" Stones, you also have a vicious allergy to all forms of violence and bloodshed, and an uncanny affinity for bringing the dead back to life. To make matters worse, family debt looms - a debt that will have to be paid sooner rather than later if Lanie and her sister are to retain ownership of the ancestral seat, Stones Manor. Lanie finds herself courted and threatened by powerful parties who would love to use her worryingly intimate relationship with the goddess of death for their own nefarious ends. But the goddess has other plans...

Saint Death's Daughter

John Appel

Murder forces the unlikeliest of allies. 
 
On the eve of the planet Ileri's historic vote to join the Commonwealth, the assassination of a government minister threatens to shatter everything. Private investigator Noo Okereke and spy Meiko Ogawa join forces with police chief Toiwa to investigate - and discover clues that point disturbingly toward a threat humanity thought they had escaped. 
A threat that could destroy Ileri and spark an interplanetary war... unless the disparate team can work together to solve the mystery.

Assassin's Orbit

Drink down the brew and dream of a better Earth. 
 
Skyward Inn, within the high walls of the Western Protectorate, is a place of safety, where people come together to tell stories of the time before the war with Qita. 
 
But safety from what? Qita surrendered without complaint when Earth invaded; Innkeepers Jem and Isley, veterans from either side, have regrets but few scars. 
 
Their peace is disturbed when a visitor known to Isley comes to the Inn asking for help, bringing reminders of an unnerving past and triggering an uncertain future. 
 
Did humanity really win the war?

Elerie Astrada is hanging in almost-space, awaiting launch. 
 
Ultsurf is a popular, high-stakes relay race contested at the edge of a planet's atmosphere. It's fast, hard and dangerous: it isn't a bloodsport, but blood is often spilled. It is also highly illegal. And Ele is at the top of her game, just a few wins away from the major leagues. 
 
But making the fastest Split isn't Ele's biggest challenge. When her childhood friend India blackmails her with knowledge of her Ultsurfing career, Ele's thrown into the politics of money and power, and way over her head. As a pawn in India's scheme, Ele digs up everything she can on her Ultsurf rivals, the Royals-through drugs, espionage and violence-to ensure her team's victory. It's brought her to this moment. Everything is in place, every deal done. Then the starter whistle blows...

The Surf

One of the most powerful known elementals, he is forced to work as an enforcer for Magnate Sorrelo Adriann - cursed with a flesh binding - magic that will kill him at the first sign of disobedience. 
 
When Sorrelo is overthrown, Ig quickly learns he can do worse - far worse - than what has been asked from him so far. If he can't escape the flesh binding in time, Ig will have to kill friend and foe alike as his master seeks to reclaim the throne or sacrifice himself trying.

Cometh the hour, cometh the fall 
In time, the whole world will be a graveyard, a charnel pit for billions.

In time, the Dark Judges will rule unquestioned over an empty world. 
But before the end of Deadworld must come the fall...

The Fall of Deadworld

Adrian J. Walker

500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE, EARTH IS NO LONGER POPULATED BY HUMANS. 
 
The new guardians of Earth, the genetically engineered Erta, have reversed climate change. They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo Sapiens, all of their work will be undone. 
 
They decide to raise one final child; a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth. 
 
But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a human than she had expected; and there is more to humanity's history than she has been told.
