That awkward moment when you saved the day but doomed the planet...It all went off without a hitch. Okay, so there were hitches. Lots of hitches...Now, [REDACTED] is in a coma, and our heroes have a tight-lipped raknoth telling them some fresh new hell is about to come raining down on their heads - one that gives even the raknoth nightmares. And that's when the strange ship shows up....

For the first time in history, human and raknoth stand united against the doom coming to swallow them all whole. Okay. On second thought, "united" is probably a strong word. Turns out, mutual fear of galaxy-conquering super monsters does not a steadfast alliance make. Especially not between the people of Earth and the very creatures that devastated it.

I was never the kind to marry for money. Until Rob Michaels offered me the stars, along with a billionaire fortune, glamorous career, and a private island. The job comes with other perks, too. Like a model-hot coworker, Anya Talova, who I still can’t get a read on, until I found out way more than I ever needed to know. There are some risks. Like my husband’s revenge-driven brother (and his abs of steel) out to hurt my husband any way he can. Out to hurt him through me. I was never the kind to betray my husband. Until I did.

Before Kimball Hayden became a Vatican Knight, he was the commander of the Pieces of Eight, a kill squad that worked as part of a black-arm force of the CIA.

But when he begins to question the morality of his actions and the motives of his superiors, he is placed within the crosshairs by high-end principals who want to see him dead.

When alien scientists studying a mysterious object detect unfamiliar DNA, they set to work on cloning the being responsible for the incredible technology. Now, all alone and trillions of miles from home, their fully grown human Seedling is about to be hatched....

All eyes fall on the closing stages of a colony-defining isolation test within Terradox’s least hospitable zone—the man-made hellscape of Little Venus, where six astronauts-in-training have survived 51 weeks surrounded by an almost impossibly hostile atmosphere. But while the astronauts of tomorrow count down their final few days until freedom, the gravest threat of all might already be on the wrong side of their Isolation Kompound’s impenetrable walls....

Dune grasses sway atop the Barlows' craggy bluff. Hidden past a narrow path, there is a rickety stairway going down, down, down to the sea. Even in its neglect, the stairway is beautiful, with its sweeping views of Long Island Sound. Depending on the tides, those stairs lead to a tiny secluded beach. But for years, the stairs have been nearly forgotten. Until now.

When creatures go bump in the night, he bumps back. (But in the sort of respect-your-space, you're-a-person-too, you-do-you way). Every day, new possibilities of this shadow world emerge; wonderous, unexpected, and, honestly, a bit horrifying. Secrets abound as more factions choose sides in a war to come. The Fallen are using the Chosen to do their will and release the Ancient Ones. It all kind of makes him miss the chicken costume. When a mysterious invitation reaches Jonny's door in the form of a cryptex the plot thickens.

When Kurt Jacobs imagines the ultimate gadget—one capable of replacing phones, credit cards, keys, and TVs—the idea consumes his every waking moment. When the Sycamore corporation buys into Kurt's creation and The Seed becomes a reality, his every dream comes true. Power like this has never existed. But amid all of the awe and optimism, there is far more going on behind the curtain than Kurt or anyone else could ever have predicted.

While riding his new racing bike, Jeff is hit by an SUV - an accident which has a cascade effect on his life. He loses his job to a replacement, his girlfriend pressures him to move in, his bank accounts are hacked, and a restless spirit begs for his help - all in less than a week.

Can he discover who's out to destroy his life - and threaten those he loves most?

Now, scattered and hunted by the monstrous rakul, Rachel and Jarek must do everything they can to protect their friends and keep their brewing Enochian weapons safe long enough for one slim chance at turning the tides. But first, they have to find each other. And with no comm network to speak of and a squadron of galaxy-class killers on their tails, nothing is quite so simple. Harvest has fallen.
