Lumerian Knight Falden Corshival is an ancient. Leader of what remains of his people, he and his elite warriors have avoided capture for more than 2,000 years. He believed they were safe on Earth. He was wrong. When a nosy investigative reporter sets up a blind date with an alien group dealing in the intergalactic black market, Falden knows he must do whatever it takes to find out who she is and what she knows, including pretending to be her unknown contact. Unfortunately, Falden has spent a millennia out of the dating scene. Worse, he has no understanding of human courting rituals.

Abbey Mei Otis's short stories are contemporary fiction at its strongest: taking apart the supposed equality that is clearly just not there, putting humans under an alien microscope, putting humans under government control, and more. Otis has long been fascinated in using strange situations to explore dynamics of power, oppression, and grief, and the 12 stories collected here are at once a striking indictment of the present and a powerful warning about the future.

Three terrorist attacks are launched from freighters against the United States. Only one fully succeeds, but in the blink of an eye all of the country west of the Rocky Mountains is transformed into the technological equivalent of the 18th century - no electricity, no computers, no electronics of anykind, or any of the amenities of modern life that depend on them. This is the story of ordinary and extraordinary people, high and low, who struggle to survive in a mortally wounded nation, as America's enemies within and without circle for the kill.

After a devastating attack cripples America’s power grid and communication systems, Ryan, Siena, and Max set out on a desperate journey to Boston. But the city they find is nothing like they imagined. Fires rage in the night, terrified families flee, and the streets are overrun with fear and violence. The military scrambles to contain the unrest while whispers of a hidden bomb spread panic through the city. For Ryan, time is running out. His survival hinges on finding medical help in a city collapsing under its own weight.

In exchange, she promises top secret information and her skills as a scientist. It doesn't end there. People are starting to change into something more dangerous than just starving humans. That and the weather system has been corrupted by nuclear war. With time running out, it's up to James, Beth, Claire, and now Myra to discover the true force behind the apocalypse.

In the not too distant past, along the Mississippi River, North America tried to tear itself in half. It failed. It won’t the second time.

Will they arrive for Christmas? Will they arrive at all? Their lives are about to change forever. Prepare to be shaken.

Nacho had zero intentions to make friends. He certainly had no plans to be put in the unenviable position of being the leader of a guild. But if there’s one thing that he excels at, it certainly isn’t cooking. No, he’s far better at rolling with the punches and making sure the people around him survive. When literal monsters are everywhere, that’s the kind of person you want in charge. But this world isn’t what he’s been expecting. Things are different. He is different. By succeeding so much, so fast, humanity has unlocked the next stage of the Juxtaposition, years before they’re ready for it.

Eli "Nacho" Naches is a fearsome assassin who has lost everything in a post-apocalyptic world full of monstrous creatures. He knows where he fits in this horror show, and he’s only been hanging around to see what’s going to be thrown at him next. When he’s finally put in chains and sent to the chopping block, he goes readily...only to be unexpectedly sent back in time to his younger body with his memories intact and the chance to make a difference.

On a scorching hot summer day, Sweden's capital, Stockholm, is hit by a mysterious and violent virus. Within days, the city, the country and perhaps all of civilisation is a wasteland. A tiny fraction of humanity find that they are immune to the contagion. Now they are forced to navigate through...

The rain began nineteen years ago, and it never stopped: more than a foot of rain per day until almost the whole of North America was underwater. Those who survived the first year were forced to take drastic measures, and those who held to the veneer of civilization were few and very far between. Seventeen-year-old Tanner grew up after the rain began. She and her adoptive caretaker, Russell, have long sought a fabled Colorado refuge, a dream that has kept them going through years of brutal trials as they try to stay one step ahead of the “face eaters”.
