The Altered Rise
Her sword is sharp. Can she raise it against her leader? Two years ago the High General made Cameron a member of his personal Guard. Cameron fulfilled her duties, hoping to learn more about The Altered and protect others from the tragedy that befell her best friend. But the High General keeps many secrets. While Cameron and the rest of The Altered seek answers, Cotarion falls into war with its northern brethren. As unrest threatens to tear the nation apart, the High General uses his power to shield himself from his own past mistakes. Cameron wonders if learning more about her powers is worth remaining loyal to a leader who would hide while so many people die defending him. The band of Altered following Cameron watch the crumbling of Cotarion, all while they live in service to the High General who stands at the center of the chaos. As the questions, the losses, and the enemies mount, they must decide: will they continue seeking answers in the shadows while Cotarion falls, or will they risk their lives to stand against the High General? Will the Altered now rise?
The Seventh Trumpet
A haunting apocalyptic short story collection from the author of Death's Dream Kingdom. The earth has been ravaged by a mysterious catastrophe, and the human race virtually extinguished. Scattered here and there across the globe, the last few survivors must grapple with the apocalypse in an age that is no longer theirs. Monsters, demons, angels, gods, and strange beings that were once men haunt them without; within, each one must grapple with the terror and loss of a dying world. The trumpets of the apocalypse have sounded, judgment has fallen, and nothing now remains but the harsh truths of the soul.
Bossa Nova
Justice is a matter of perspective. A pleasant Sunday dinner at an Italian restaurant takes a nasty turn for Detective Erin O’Reilly when the waiter slits the throat of a long-time patron. It’s an open-and-shut case, but this murder is only the beginning. All across New York, captains in the Lucarelli Mafia family are being picked off in a series of carefully-orchestrated hits. Erin and her K-9 Rolf, still recovering from the trauma of their last case, jump back into the action. They’ll need to stay sharp, especially since this isn't the first time they've tangled with the new boss of the Lucarellis, slick mafioso Vinnie Moreno. “The Oil Man” has a knack for slithering out of trouble, and he’s not alone. The Mafia has deep roots in New York City, some of which have insinuated themselves into the ranks of law enforcement. Street justice is the rule of the day. Amid conflicting codes of honor, Erin finds herself questioning what justice really means, and whether it’s possible to take down the bad guys while staying on the side of the angels. And in the end, as she runs out of options, Erin may be in the most danger from herself.
The Altered Wake
As long-dormant superpowers awaken, a young woman faces a terrible dilemma: betray her nation or hunt down her best friend? The future. Earth’s governments have fallen, succeeded by a unified military order. An elite group of soldiers, the Sentinels, protect Cotarion from marauders and neighbors alike. Within, shadowy forces at the highest levels conspire for the power they need to enact a mysterious agenda. But now, something has changed. Men and women have emerged, displaying superhuman abilities powerful enough to threaten the established order, and the High General commands Sentinel Cameron Kardell to track a superhuman gone rogue. A superhuman who holds the key to these powers’ origin. Who happens to be Kardell’s best friend. Who will reveal the truth of Cameron’s own origins. The Altered now wake.
Brain Damage
Some scars run deeper than others Detective Erin O’Reilly is no stranger to close calls. She and her K-9 Rolf have dodged more than their share of blades, blasts, and bullets as they’ve taken on the worst New York City has to offer. But the last perp came a little too close, leaving one of Erin’s fellow officers with a bullet-hole in his head and her own brain scrambled. Erin needs a break, but as her long-running infiltration of the O’Malley gang enters its final act, she can’t afford to slack off. And that’s not her only headache. When a former convict turned pizza deliveryman has his skull crushed in a college parking garage, an apparent mugging may be something much more sinister. Banging her head against one problem after another, Erin faces obstacles both on the street and in herself. She’ll have to break through to the answers before her own brain lets her down.
Black Magic
A cop watches your hands; a magician shows you the wrong one. New Year’s Eve is a time for new beginnings, but it’s business as usual for Detective Erin O’Reilly and her K-9, Rolf. A midnight magic show on Broadway goes horribly wrong and a woman dies onstage. Is it a dreadful accident or an act of murderous sabotage? It’s up to Erin to unravel the web of deception surrounding the death, even as her personal life threatens to spiral into chaos. She's caught the eye of Irish mobster Morton "Cars" Carlyle, and worse, she's beginning to like him back. It seems obvious that a relationship between a police officer and a criminal is a disaster waiting to happen. But as Erin is coming to discover, in the underworld and on the stage, things are rarely as they seem.
First Love
Jealousy breeds betrayal. A young woman is strangled in her bed. The door is smashed in and the apartment ransacked. Is this a robbery gone wrong? A random attack? A jealous lover? Or a serial killer? It’s up to Detective Erin O’Reilly, her K-9 Rolf, and the rest of her Major Crimes squad to find out the truth before anyone else dies. It’s a simple case; or is it? Erin has been able to keep an uneasy balance between her personal and work lives. She’s always known it was risky to let herself fall for a gangster. But now, she and her boyfriend, smooth-talking Irishman Morton Carlyle, find themselves drawn into a situation in which the only escape is for the two of them to choose a side and take a stand. Jealousy and betrayal are in the air. Who do you trust when your lover could be your enemy?
Hubris Towers Season 1, Episode 6
It's going to take Jimmy and Ana's best efforts to get Hubris Towers through the big inspection—and all these helpers aren't exactly helping. When Hubris Towers acquires the last house on the block, Mr. Hubris is excited to welcome local matriarch Mother Robert as the newest tenant of Hubris Towers and announce the launch of an ambitious new construction project. But with the big inspection one day away and the building falling apart at the seams, it's going to be all Jimmy and Ana can do to keep Hubris Towers from getting shut down. Add a literary interlude with Ms. Leonelle, a little help from Gustav the criminal bellhop-in-training, and rather less help from Mr. Schwartz, and it's anyone's guess whether Hubris Towers will even stay open long enough to demolish Mother Robert's house. The Russians are eager to help, though, and even if Jimmy is poor in money, he's rich in leftover tuna. So it will probably turn out fine. This is the sixth installment of Hubris Towers, a comedy series for fans of P. G. Wodehouse and Fawlty Towers.

Hair of the Dog
When it comes to love, everyone is compromised The murder scene looks depressingly ordinary at first; a home-invasion shooting of a real-estate agent. But Detective Erin O’Reilly has a nose for trouble, and this case smells all wrong. It’s bad enough that the victim is tied to several sleazy property deals, but the worst of it is the sole witness to the crime; the dead man’s girlfriend is Lieutenant Webb’s ex-wife. Erin is no stranger to personal complications, but Webb’s entanglements threaten to derail the whole investigation. With her commanding officer compromised, she and her K-9 Rolf will have to take the lead as they try to tear open a case involving street thugs, car thieves, a shady trainer of fighting dogs, and a paranoid white-collar guy in way over his head. It’s shaping up to be an ugly dogfight in the streets of Brooklyn.
