Prison
Mia Harper's life now is radically different than the one she has known. She lives in a world with no power, no phones, and practically no human contact. She and her best friend, Andrew Greene, are raising her two-year-year old sister Jilly, on their own. Mia, Andrew, and Jilly have been living in the dark for ten months; ever since a Coronal Mass Ejection changed life as they knew it. They made the best of it, and have settled into a routine, until... A stranger appears out of nowhere as summer approaches, shattering their peace. How will these three survive a hostile government, old enemies, and learning to become a family- all while scraping together enough food to fend off starvation?

Timeline: A Tale of Altered History
Robert had never used his father's invention for personal gain, but saving the life of his brother was a risk he just had to take. Unfortunately, no matter how much preparation is involved, things can never go as planned when you're playing with the very fabric of the space-time continuum. If Robert succeeds, he will rob the family who is plotting to kill his brother of their power from the moment they acquired it, deep in the past. But if he fails, it could be more than just his brother's life that is in jeopardy. Either way, he will certainly alter history and create a new timeline of events, which in turn will radically change the life he has always known. But will there be a price to pay for his actions? Consequences for "playing God?" Perhaps most importantly, if things go wrong, could any of the damage ever be fixed?

Ten Days in Physics that Shook the World
The breakthroughs that have had the most transformative practical impacts, from thermodynamics to the Internet. Physics informs our understanding of how the world works – but more than that, key breakthroughs in physics have transformed everyday life. We journey back to ten separate days in history to understand how particular breakthroughs were achieved, meet the individuals responsible and see how each breakthrough has influenced our lives. It is a unique selection. Focusing on practical impact means there is no room for Stephen Hawking's work on black holes, or the discovery of the Higgs boson. Instead we have the relatively little-known Rudolf Clausius (thermodynamics) and Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (superconductivity), while Albert Einstein is included not for his theories of relativity but for the short paper that gave us E=mc2 (nuclear fission). Later chapters feature transistors, LEDs and the Internet.
