In the wake of tragedy, Chandra strikes out on her own, determined to protect the Multiverse, no matter the cost to herself. Along the way she'll not only have to fight new threats, but also her own sense of guilt. Fellow Planeswalker and friend Ajani Goldmane tries to intervene, but it's ultimately on Chandra to save herself, especially when a sinister foe emerges from the shadows.

On July 23, 1999, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever built, was launched aboard the space shuttle Columbia. Since then, Chandra has given us a view of the universe that is largely hidden from telescopes sensitive only to visible light. In Chandra's Cosmos, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Chandra science spokesperson Wallace H. Tucker uses a series of short, connected stories to describe the telescope's exploration of the hot, high-energy face of the universe. The book is organized in three parts: "The Big," covering the cosmic web, dark energy, dark matter, and massive clusters of galaxies; "The Bad," exploring neutron stars, stellar black holes, and supermassive black holes; and "The Beautiful," discussing stars, exoplanets, and life. Chandra has imaged the spectacular, glowing remains of exploded stars and taken spectra showing the dispersal of their elements. Chandra has observed the region around the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way and traced the separation of dark matter from normal matter in the collision of galaxies, contributing to both dark matter and dark energy studies. Tucker explores the implications of these observations in an entertaining, informative narrative aimed at space buffs and general readers alike.
An enormously satisfying, exciting and enriching book, Vikram Chandra's novel draws the reader deep into the lives of detective Sartaj Singh and Ganesh Gaitonde, the most wanted gangster in India. Sartaj, the only Sikh inspector in the whole of Mumbai, is used to being identified by his turban, beard and the sharp cut of his trousers. But 'the silky Sikh' is now past forty, his marriage is over and his career prospects are on the slide. When Sartaj gets an anonymous tip off as to the secret hideout of the legendary boss of the G-company, he's determined that he'll be the one to collect the prize. This is a sprawling, epic novel of friendships and betrayals, of terrible violence, of an astonishing modern city and its underworld. Drawing on the best of Victorian fiction, mystery novels, Bollywood movies and Vikram Chandra's years of first hand research on the streets of Mumbai, this novel reads like a potboiling page-turner but resonates with the intelligence and emotional depth of the best of literature.

In an alternate universe, Earth faced an invasion from aliens hailing from a planet named Nykarus, leading to a brutal five-year war. Two years into the conflict, a distress signal was sent out and caught the attention of an old foe of the NyKarin race. The Kygourins teamed up with humans to push back the invaders, forcing them to retreat to the Pledius star system. Unfortunately, many humans were captured and placed in cryo-chambers aboard the NyKarin motherships. Once the NyKarins returned to their home planet, they scattered the captured humans across habitable planets in nearby solar systems, sealing their fate as slaves. Chandra, an Enforcer cyborg soldier, was never meant to be a part of the culling. However, fate had other plans, leading her to one of Eurleau’s moons, Dyna, where she was sold at auction to a Madam running a high-end brothel. Adara, the Madam, brings her to the city of Mu, where Chandra undergoes a significant transformation, preparing her for her new role as a prostitute in the brothel. Years have gone by, and Soran, the Emperor of Nykarus, has finally tracked down Chandra. He confronts Adara Sunn, insisting she turn Chandra over to him. Though she is hesitant, a secret meeting with Xenos, a bounty hunter, changes her mind, leading her to sell Chandra to him. Chandra leaves Southern Atlan with Xenos, closing the chapter on her life at the brothel, but opening a new one in her quest for self-discovery. The implant in her head is just the start, as her adventure will take her to uncharted territories and put her in the path of various dangers.
Dear Reader: Chandra de Avenell looked like a golden princess, but she fought like a warrior, dreamed warrior's dreams of conquest and glory. She wanted no man to rule her. She wanted to remain what her father had trained her to be-strong, self-reliant, free. Jerval de Vernon was the handsome young knight who wanted her and only her for his wife. He believed he could tame her, believed he could call forth the softness of the woman behind the warrior-even if it meant forcing her into a marraige she did not want. When Chandra and Jerval journey to the Holy Land to war against the Saracens, would she learn, as Jerval wished her to, that there are many kinds of strength? Would she let him teach her that giving of herself and sharing pains as well as joy with him was more precious than her warrior's unbending pride? Chandra introduced Graelam de Moreton, of Fire Song, which was then followed by Earth Song and Secret Song. I hope you enjoy all of the medieval novels as much as I enjoyed writing them.
