|  | Earth Made of Glass by John Barnes
At the end of the next millennium, humankind has spread over hundreds of colonized planets. The planets are separated by several light years, and only recently has the technology to reunite the factions, called the springer, been developed. All the planets have been contacted and brought together via the springer, save one. The savage planet of Briand is unreceptive to integration into the organized Thousand Cultures. Diplomats Giraut and Margaret travel to Briand in an attempt to bring its people back to the fold of humanity. AUTHOR: John Barnes

 | Appleseed by John Clute
The first novel from the noted science fiction critic launches interstellar trader Nathaniel Stinky Freer on a search for the planet that holds the key to saving the universe from plaque--a plague-like virus that eradicates information. On a routine trading mission to the planet Trencher, Freer nearly dies at the hands of Opsophagos, a cannibalistic creature leading an alien consortium's attempts to launch the War of the Lens, a war to rid the universe of the lens that can burn plaque away. Freer escapes, momentarily, and is joined by two AIs, the topiary parthogenete, Mamselle Cunning Earth Link, and Johnny Appleseed, among others, in his haphazard journey to find the planet that harvests the plaque-eating lenses.

 | Island of Ghosts by Gillian Bradshaw
In the second century A.D., the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius made a deal with the barbarian Sarmatians: The fighting would stop if they supplied the Romans with 8,000 horsemen. Thus begins the Roman life of Ariantes, a warrior-prince in a land not his own. While his fellows chafe under Roman rule, appalled at the Romans' clumsiness with horses, and resistant to any and every command, Ariantes alone realizes that in order to preserve his regiment's culture--and its survival--he must learn to be Roman.
