The mighty militaries of Earth have finally joined forces, pushing aside their petty disputes, and finding unity.
But only to destroy everything that was left.

The discovery of an ancient alien tomb sets off events whose echoes reverberate through time for six thousand years; sparking a civil war between humans that is barely understood–between devote believers of a new faith, and those who choose freedom.

Fleeing Earth, a group of scientists and soldiers race across the galaxy with stolen faster-than-light technology, taming and settling a harsh new world, with the goal of being left alone in peace for eternity.

After losing two close companions, Max has finally come to terms with his heritage. As his job at the Atheneum continues to fade slowly into the past, his position on the Council is once again tested.

Will the team figure out what is going on before the regular government intervenes? Again most importantly, will Max and Kim find time for a drink or two at their favorite bar, the Fallen Angel?

I’m not an easy guy to get along with. Or so I’ve been told.

Something about over-domineering, alpha-hole, and rich rubs people the wrong way.

All good in the neighborhood. I’m not interested in relationships anyway.

But unfortunately, thanks to my success, I need a new secretary.

Or rather, I’m being forced to take on a new admin, and the conditions are clear—I’m not allowed to fire her for a year.

Nothing like having rules sprung on you in your own company.

So I hire a single mom with a pretty smile. Everyone likes her.

Everyone but me. She’s got more fire than I expected.

And no matter how abrasive or aloof I am, she presses harder against me.

I’m falling for her stubborn nature and finding myself wanting to bend my rules of relationships to please her in any way I can.

And then… she leaves. Quits without warning.

Velma Wallis’s award-winning, bestselling novel about two elderly Native American women who must fend for themselves during a harsh Alaskan winter

Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along for many generations from mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska, this is the suspenseful, shocking, ultimately inspirational tale of two old women abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine.

Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute, they now must either survive on their own or die trying. In simple but vivid detail, Wallis depicts a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women, she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal, friendship, community, and forgiveness “speaks straight to the heart with clarity, sweetness, and wisdom” (Ursula K. Le Guin).
