Highlands Ranch: David Weber is the author of the New York Times bestselling Honor Harrington novels. Solo and in collaboration, he is one of the major writers of science fiction in America today. Weber will read from and sign Out of the Dark ($25.99 Tor), the first novel in a stunning new military-SF series. Earth is conquered. The Shongairi have arrived in force, and humanity’s cities lie in radioactive ruins. In mere minutes, over half the human race has died. The aliens have definitely underestimated human tenacity—but no amount of heroism can endlessly hold off overwhelming force. Then, emerging from the mountains and forests of Eastern Europe, new allies present themselves to the ragtag human resistance. Predators, creatures of the night, human in form but inhumanly strong. Long enemies of humanity…until now. Because now is the time to defend Earth. Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com

Colfax Avenue: Daniel Schultz, a pastor in the United Church of Christ and co-founder of the blog Street Prophets, where he writes as “pastordan,” will discuss and sign his new book Changing the Script: An Authentically Faithful and Authentically Progressive Political Theology for the 21st Century ($15.95 Ig). In his book, Schultz, one of the leading progressive religious voices in America today, builds upon the insights of Old Testament scholar and theologian Walter Brueggemann to identify five “scripts” that exercise unseen power in our society: the therapeutic, technological, consumerist, militarist, and conformist. Confronting each of these scripts and the actions of both the Right and the Left that have allowed them to take root in our culture, Schultz voices a perspective that shows what an authentically progressive and authentically faithful religious ideal would truly look like.
