Life As We Knew It by: Susan Beth Pfeffer (Kitten) Miranda's disbelief turns to fear in a split second when a meteor knocks the moon closer to the earth.

As summer turns to Arctic winter, Miranda, her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom...
Dragon Prince by: Melanie Rawn (Anguissette) When Rohan became the new Prince of the Desert, ruler of the princedom granted his family for as long as the Long Sands spawned fire, he took the crown with two goals in mind. First and foremost, he sought to bring permanent peace to his world of divided princedoms, realms hovering always on the brink of war.
Time Patrol by: Poul Anderson (ChronoVore) MEN WANTED-21-40, pref. single, mil. or tech. exp., good physique, for high-pay work with foreign travel. Engineering Studies Co., 305 E. 45, 9-12 & 2-6. The Academy was in the American West. It was also in the Oligocene period, a warm age of forests and grasslands when man's ratty ancestors scuttled away from the tread of giant mammals. It had been built a thousand years ago; it would be maintained for half a million-long enough to graduate as many as the Time Patrol would require-and then be carefully demolished so that no trace would remain.
Benighted by: Kit Whitfield (Profane) What if your average joe turned into a large wolf on every full moon? And what if you didn't? Lola is a bareback - non-werewolf - living in a world in which her life has already been decided for her. She is tasked with keeping order on the nights in which there is none. The job is dangerous, and she's worn down by the constant alienation from society.
