When a boy volunteers for a government experiment, he returns transformed: body accelerated, mind saturated with lifetimes of knowledge. On Earth, wolves terrorize neighborhoods, machines fuse with flesh, and the state whispers promises of immortality. In the vein of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, Boy in Space is a chilling dystopian vision — a story of innocence stripped away, of control disguised as progress, and of what happens when humanity itself becomes the experiment.

Deployment is hard. War is costly. And Recon Marine Sergeant Finn Cobalt is paying the price--overseas and at home. Courageous action jeopardizes his military career. Two rescue attempts go south, and secrets strain his family relationships. As guilt stalks his footsteps, his faith is brought into question. Is there anything left? Or has it been destroyed?

From the author of Maine Characters and Playing with Matches, a sweeping love story in the vein of Rebecca Serle and Chloe Benjamin about a woman who knows the date she’ll meet her true love—only he isn’t quite as perfect as she always imagined. What if you knew exactly when you’d meet...

She made a promise, but can she keep it? When Lucy Patterson promises her dying mother that she'll leave the comfortable home they've shared with her mother's employer, Stanley Jones, to go and live with her Aunt Flo on the other side of the Mersey, she has no idea of the terrible consequences. Life with the Flanagans in the slums of Liverpool, and Lucy's new job in a factory, are totally different from the world she has known. Mocked by her cousins and the women she works alongside, and terrified by the brutality of her uncle and the unwelcome attentions of her cousin Frank, Lucy is desperately unhappy.
