From Immigrant to Inventor
Michael Pupin's was a genuinely American story, the lifelong journey of a boy from rural Serbia, from a town so tiny it appeared on no maps, who became one of the greatest scientists of the early 20th century, changing the lives of people the world over with his technological innovations-he invented the therapeutic X-ray and made telephone communications practical and inexpensive-and helping to invent the modern world we know today. First published in 1922, Pupin's autobiography won the Pulitzer Prize in 1924, but Pupin's insightful and incisive words are their own greatest recommendation. American physicist and writer MICHAEL IDVORSKY PUPIN (1858-1935) was born in Serbia and emigrated to the United States as a teenager. As a professor and researcher at Columbia University, he invented sonar and made important discoveries in the fields of X-ray physics and telecommunications.

Lightstep
Part Space Opera, part hard Science Fiction, Lightstep ties faster-than-light travel to its obvious time-bending realities, and wraps it all in adventure, action, and a universe alive with alien vistas. Alien worlds, a star-spanning empire, and rogues and rebels seeking a weapon hidden in the transmissions of a radio drama from Earth thousands of years ago. It's a mix that sounds like it couldn't work, but visionary creator Miloš Slavković brings it all together in a seemingly effortless romp.

But an unexpected rescue sets January on a course to overthrow the empire her family founded and change the galaxy forever. Collects issues #1-#5 of the series.
