A few decades from now, California allows anyone 81 or older to legally end their life, a.k.a. “cross the bridge”—using the words of the religious movement, the Bridgers. Business is brisk for Ketch Immer and his father, purveyors of state-of-the-art crossing services.

When a renowned academic “proves” life after death, the Bridgers sue for change. The movement’s figurehead, the veiled Jane Go, argues that adults of any age deserve the right to choose. The world watches on broadcast TV as introverted Ketch gets dragged into a cultural crucible. Well-funded Bridgers, well-armed anti-Bridgers, and the mysterious Jane Go pressure him to take a stand.

While confronting his family’s complex history with assisted suicide, Ketch must uncover Jane Go’s hidden motivations and answer the ultimate question: which life is more worth living, here or across the bridge?

Eight-year-old Peruka hears music no one else hears. Besides causing her pain, it distracts her to the point her life becomes at risk. Isolation and home schooling have helped. Unfortunately, she’s not growing out of the problem, as her doctors have hoped.

When her Mammy falls ill from a chronic disease, Peruka reluctantly joins her pappy as he seeks a new employment contract, meaning a trip to a city… or two, where the population is on edge because of a recent uptick in violence. She promises to behave, to be a good girl. But in certain locations, the music of the city is overwhelmingly loud and discordant.

Then a riot separates her from her pappy, and soon she faces her greatest challenge when into her defenseless mind seeps an alien song, threatening the millions of human lives trapped in Brethren Space…

Hudson Powell thought joining the Relic Guardian Force would turn his life around. Instead, he discovers an alien crystal that awakens a world-shattering force lost in deep space. Together with mercenary Tory Bellona, he must unravel ancient mysteries before catastrophe strikes.

On a distant desert planet, a soldier on one side of a century-old galactic civil war is marooned. For Jenna, the isolation is a blessing. After years of fighting and months as a prisoner, she wants only to be left alone; to forget and to be forgotten. But fate has other plans.
After killing its mother in self-defense, she reluctantly adopts a tigra cub, a tiger-like carnivore native to the planet. For the sake of this creature she has named Samason, she will lead a people into battle, decimate an army of half a million, and fulfill a prophesy five thousand years in the making.
For Samson is no ordinary tigra. In him lies the secret to his race, a secret that will change not only Ararat, but the galaxy forever.
