Strange exit / by Peevyhouse, Parker,author.(CARDINAL)412213;
Seventeen-year-old Lake seeks the secret heart of the computer simulation that safeguards passengers aboard a ship orbiting a post-apocalyptic Earth, on a quest that will either save or destroy them all.The Earth's survivors escaped into a passenger ship orbiting Earth. Their minds were put in a simulation designed to prepare them all for life after the nuclear event, but some are trapped in a shared virtual reality, their bodies in stasis chambers. No one can get off the ship until all the passengers are out of the sim. Time is running out, and as Lake searched for the heart of the sim, her ally Taren is deciding who must be sacrificed for the greater good. -- adapted from jacketHL610L

The anomaly / by Le Tellier, Hervé,1957-author.(CARDINAL)380948; Hunter, Adriana,translator.(CARDINAL)351873;
"Winner of the Prix Goncourt, this dizzying literary page-turner ingeniously blends crime, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller as it plumbs the mysteries surrounding a Paris-New York flight. In June 2021, a senseless event upends the lives of hundreds of men and women, all passengers on a flight from Paris to New York. Among them: Blake, a respectable family man, though he works as a contract killer; Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star tired of living a lie; Joanna, a formidable lawyer whose flaws have caught up with her; and Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet commercially unsuccessful writer who suddenly becomes a cult hit. All of them believed they had double lives. None imagined just how true that was. A virtuoso novel where logic confronts magic, The Anomaly explores the part of ourselves that eludes us. This witty variation on the doppelgänger theme, which takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House, proves to be Hervae Le Tellier's most ambitious work yet"--
