Three distinct new book releases are featured today, highlighting their authors, genres, and central conflicts. The first selection introduces John Scalzi’s science fiction short story, which examines the ethical obligations of a time travel technician forced to become an active participant in an event. The second selection details Michael Connelly’s new legal thriller featuring Mickey Haller, who tackles a civil lawsuit against an AI company whose technology contributed to a murder, focusing on accountability in the unregulated AI industry. Finally, the third source describes Sara Blaydes’ dual-timeline historical fiction, where a landscape architect’s present-day restoration of a manor garden uncovers a long-buried World War II mystery involving the original lady of the manor and her vanished half-sister.
