Ranger Quinn thought that morning would be like so many others. A hangover, a day off before going back to work keeping the lower levels of Zion City safe from itself… But a crime so horrific, so brutal in its execution, turns those mundane expectations around.

An investigation into the death of a senior leader in their underground utopia safe from the harsh, radioactive wastelands beyond their walls forces Quinn beyond that safety and into the world outside.

Following the trail of the killers between the pockets of surviving humanity, Quinn soon learns that not all is well beyond the walls, but the same could be said about Zion City.

Experience the start of a harrowing post-apocalyptic series from the bestselling author of After it Happened. Perfect for fans of the Fallout games, Bobby Adair, and T.W. Piperbrook

Preble Jefferson can see five seconds into the future.

When government agencies become aware of his skill, Preble will do whatever it takes to protect his family. But as events spiral out of control, he must weigh the cost of his gift against the loss of his humanity.

The Man Who Saw Seconds explores the nature of time, the brain as a prediction machine, and the tension between the individual and the systems we create.

“The Man Who Saw Seconds is an action thriller…that is genuinely thrilling: the pacing is perfect, and the stakes ratchet up in a horrifying, relentless, and seemingly inevitable progression…I hope this can be genre-spanning, and that it gets the attention it deserves from every awards list, science fiction and not.”

I’ve been hunted my whole life, for a secret so big they won’t even tell me what it is.

Why? That’s the million-dollar question.

All I know is they think I’m about to do something terrible, and they want to stop me. Permanently.

The only way to escape this life is to find out what my mentors wouldn’t tell me: a secret so dangerous people have died to keep it.

Who am I? Why am I so important?

I don’t know, but I’m gonna find out… even if it kills me.

If you like Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson or Shannon Mayer’s Rylee Adamson… you’ll love Trudi Jaye’s kick-butt shapeshifter, Mei Walker.
