Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time. -
"Three Days to Never" by Tim Powers.
Albert Einstein's groundbreaking scientific discovery made possible the creation of the most terrible weapon the world had ever known. But he made another discovery that he chose to reveal to no one - to keep from human hands a power that dwarfed the atomic bomb.
When twelve-year-old Daphne Marrity takes a video tape from her recently deceased grandmother's house, neither she nor her father, Frank, realise what they now have in their possession. In an instant they're thrust into the centre of a world-altering conspiracy, drawing the dangerous attention of both the Israeli secret service and an ancient European cabal of occultists.
Now father and daughter have three days to learn the rules of a terrifying magical chess game in order to escape a fate more profound than death - because the Marritys hold the key to the ultimate destruction of not only what's to come, but what has already been.sigpic

"Golden Son" by Pierce Brown.
Second in the "Red Rising" trilogy.
YA sci-fi that reads like a cross between "Dune", "The Hunger Games", PC game "Red Faction", and just a touch of the Star Trek episode "The Cloud Minders".
Someone (possibly someone here) recommended the books to me a while ago, and my local library happened to have the three books in stock the last time I was down.sigpic
