          "A.I. specializing in content synthesis dominate the media landscape of New Phoenix, led by the greatest artistic mind ever known to mankind. Its name is Michelangelo, and it is an artificial intelligence that generates masterworks of film, music, and even literature. Beverly Beadie, a programming technician and one of the principal engineers of the Michelangelo project, returns to work as she recovers from a deep, personal tragedy—and her relationship with the AI she helped to create slowly shifts in ways that challenge the very tenets of AI security.",
          "New Phoenix is dominated by extragovernmental corporations that rose to power in the wake of a crisis far in the city’s past. None have influence that could compare to VitaCorp’s, the medical mega-conglomerate whose onyx-black tower dominates the city’s skyline. Rumors ripple across the city of abductions and even killings by stoic, suited employees of the black tower, and even stranger still—their enforcers are said to possess technology the likes of which the world has never seen.",
          "Hannah Preacher is a woman searching for her missing lover—a man she believes to have been killed by VitaCorp agents. She partners with city police agents Sam Pollock and Rob Boardsmith on her search and drags them into a wider web of deception and murder, of revolutionaries and pretenders—all the while being pursued by VitaCorp’s most dangerous enforcer, a hunter who wears a black leather hood and adds a tally to his battery pack for each soul that he reaps."

When a gang of sophisticated, highly trained pirates takes over a cruise ship, passengers and crew must enter a desperate fight for survival on the high seas. John finds himself involuntarily thrust back into his old line of work, grappling with the ghosts of his greatest personal failing… and as John knows all too well, negotiation only works from the outside of the locked room.",

Now, she’ll have to leverage her knowledge of the ship’s secrets to successfully infiltrate the pirate forces… a saboteur among the enemy, locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse.",

But when the enemy is masked, and when imposters move among the tourists, who can Nina truly trust?"

Brett Harmon’s paralysis is total: he can’t move his arms, legs, torso, neck, or face. To the outside world, he’s little more than a statue that breathes… but Dr. Brandie’s KSE might be the miracle that allows Brett to run again.",

Frank Burman joins with seven other volunteers for Project Homonoia—a radical, last-ditch effort to postpone the apocalypse. Separate minds link to form one multidisciplinary consciousness, the world’s first human superorganism… a hive mind. But with the world’s health rapidly failing, can Project Homonoia work out its kinks in time to make a difference?",

          "Five years ago, the Men of the Mountain descended from their icy peaks and took Cade’s sister. They called it an honor; Cade calls it an abduction.",
          "Since then, the clanless trapper has lived in the silence of her absence, nursing a quiet hatred for the “benevolent” sorcerers who rule Fort Hope with fear and magic. He has waited for a sign, a mistake, or a chance to strike back.",
          "That chance arrives in a ball of fire.",
          "When a mysterious object plummets from the heavens, the Men of the Mountain scramble to bury it. But Cade gets there first. In a smoking crater, he discovers a woman unlike any he has ever seen—and she carries a truth the mystics would kill to suppress.",
          "If the Men of the Mountain find her, their secrets will remain buried forever. If Cade hides her, he risks bringing their wrath down upon everyone he loves.",
          "Armed only with his wits and a hunter’s bow, Cade must lead a desperate fight across a frozen wasteland. He is being hunted by an enemy that can level cities, but he possesses the one thing they cannot counter: proof his mountain masters are mortal after all."
