High atop Mount Olympus, dawn breaks on a new academic term. Normalcy has returned to campus following a harrowing expedition into The Underworld to rescue kidnapped students by Zeus and his fellow Olympians. Now, as they prepare to testify in The High Court, Hyperion will be tried for the attack on Crete and death of Anytos. Kronos will stand trial for the murder of Mount Olympus Prep’s Headmaster Ouranos.
As the trials draw near, Mount Olympus Prep students and faculty are besieged repeatedly by a race of gargantuan stone and earth giants. Under heavy assault, the Olympians are forced to flee to the volcanic island of Limnos to regroup.
Meanwhile, a toxic poison Zeus has carried with him since a prior fight with a dragoness, creeps toward his brain.
In a race against time and beasts, Zeus and his friends must find a way to survive not only the toxin ravaging Zeus’ body, but also the giants who grow stronger after every attack, and somehow make it to the The High Court alive.

"Midnight Never Ends" by R. Patricia Wayne
In the year 2258, the colonists on Mars discover a repeating broadcast signal coming from Jupiter's moon Europa. Which is a problem. As far as the colonists know, humans have never landed on Europa.
A crew of ten people are hastily assembled, and promptly dispatched, to investigate this mystery. Three weeks later, they discover an abandoned research station built over a black pyramid buried in the ice.
17-year-old Samantha Bauer hasn't graduated with her degree in communications yet, but she's been selected for this expedition anyway. No one asked her if she wanted to go, and no one told her why she was selected. She's immature, lonely, prone to fantasies, but that's the least of her problems. There are those who don't want her to return home.
Midnight Never Ends is a character-driven science fiction novel where evil may be hidden within a person you know, or it may be buried a mile below the surface of a moon 390 million miles away. And sometimes bravery can be found where you least expect it.
