This far-future sci-fi saga by a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–winning Grand Master chronicles the perilous rebirth of humanity on a destroyed Earth. Robert Silverberg’s critically acclaimed masterworks have earned him entry into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, and a place among the genre’s greatest legacies. This classic, two-book saga gazes into a world many millennia from now and spins a mesmerizing tale of survival, evolution, and the ultimate future of humanity. At Winter’s End: For the past 700,000 years, the remaining inhabitants of planet Earth have survived underground, escaping the endless rain of “death stars” that destroyed their civilization—and the world. Now, with the surface finally inhabitable after countless millennia, one tribe’s leader is guiding her people to freedom. But unexpected threats and dark revelations could endanger their long-awaited rebirth. The Queen of Springtime: Hidden below ground for millennia, the People have finally emerged to repopulate the Earth and reclaim their legacy as the dominant species. But the cold, insectile hjjk, who remained on Earth’s surface throughout the frozen eons, will not give up the world they inherited without a fight. The New Springtime series is Robert Silverberg at his very best, showcasing the intelligence, ingenuity, humanism, and extraordinary talents that have won him four Hugo Awards, six Nebulas, and a host of other honors.

The situations in this book happened over three decades ago. Ironically, the events and management insights described in Leading in Chaos are even more relevant today! Managers from the front line to the boardroom may be dealing with fellow employees and colleagues in the grips of opioid addiction on a regular basis. Partisan politics has permeated every part of our lives, including the work place and navigating the political waters as a manager today truly takes conviction and fortitude. Further, bureaucracy still reigns supreme in our government agencies. Through true stories, Leading in Chaos covers these topics and many more. A quick and entertaining read, Leading in Chaos will make you realize that the mundane employee problems are manageable. The true events detailed provide a stark reminder that things could be worse. If you have not been sued by an employee union because you fired an employee who overdosed on heroin in the workplace found unconscious with the needle still in his arm, or been in a situation where an important and influential politician tries to publicly humiliate you for a justified disciplinary action of an employee, or been personally investigated based on an anonymous tip and stolen documentation provided by a disgruntled employee, you will come to admire the strength, faith, and management skills portrayed in Leading in Chaos.

Nebula Award–winning author: Humans have emerged to reclaim the Earth after the Long Winter. But they never anticipated the battle that awaits . . . As Earth thaws after the Long Winter, the remaining human tribes journey from beneath the continent to the fertile land above. But the hjjk, an ancient insectlike race that remained on Earth’s surface throughout the frozen eons, stand in their way. Keeping a tight grip on their power, the hjjks are the chief barrier to the people’s further expansion in the New Springtime. When Kundalimon, a human who has lived with the hjjk for seventeen years, arrives as an emissary of peace, the tribes are wary. They rely on Nialli Apuilana, who had been stolen at thirteen by the hjjk and released months later, to ascertain his true mission. But in this new world, it’s hard to know whom to trust. As both sides prepare for war, the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. The Queen of Springtime is the second book of the New Springtime series, which begins with At Winter’s End. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert Silverberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection, as well as a detailed outline for the final, unrealized title in the New Springtime series, The Summer of Homecoming.

Driven by desperation and propelled toward self-destruction, a wealthy young man named Daniel makes a decision that will alter his life forever. A day like any other, hardly. Sure, it started the same as most with an annoying alarm followed by a hearty breakfast, but it was definitely not a typical day. Truthfully, I couldn't even eat. The eggs just stared back at me while their heat dissipated into the air. No, it wasn't a day like the others, not even close. The pancakes practically taunted me while I considered what I was about to do. It was insane. It might not even work. We could all die. And not just a normal demise, a terribly horrific one. I don't even want to think about it, but I can't stop. I suppose that means I'm conflicted. To think, in a matter of a few days we're going to be in... "Daniel?" an irritatingly proper voice called out, interrupting the whirlwind of confusing thoughts. "Hurry up and finish. It is time to prepare. There is much we must do." Alongside an unlikely team of adventurers, Daniel travels to the most forbidden place in human history where each step is permeated with danger. The journey together will bring illumination to the darkest corners of their souls, but in the end, only one question remains: will Daniel's path bring resolution or damnation?
