Miscarriages of justice are a regular occurrence in the criminal justice system, which is characterized by government agencies that are understaffed, underfunded, and undertrained across the board. We know this because, every week, DNA testing and innocence projects across the United States help to identify and eventually overturn wrongful convictions. As a result, the exonerated go free and the stage is set for addressing criminal and civil liability.

What if . . . instead of returning home from the war a celebrated hero, he had been killed in action? How would history and the present be different if he hadn't survived to become a world leader at a critical juncture in time?

Humorist Dennis Ford has seen it all. After all, he lives in New Jersey. As a teacher and bookseller, Ford contemplates some of life’s great questions—all without leaving his car. These include: • What’s the funniest word in the English language? • How plastic surgery can turn devils into hotties. • The case of the perfectly fitting police uniform. But Ford doesn’t stop there. He also devises a master plan to win the war in Iraq and ease the burden on the military, explains how to apply for membership in the Society of Goths, and backs up his belief that while Jesus may have been resurrected, he most certainly wasn’t crucified. Politics, religion, psychology, and popular culture—it’s all fair game. Ford takes on everything, shooting from the lip and saying out loud what everyone else keeps to themselves. Stop taking life so seriously and consider the lighter side of things in Thinking About Everything.

Beartooth, Wyoming has survived the first round of stratospheric aerosol injections intended to cool the planet, but predators have found their way to the community for the first time, and their closest neighbor is now ruled by an extremist faction. Outside of Beartooth, Ash and Caleb Solomon encounter a group of geologists seeking refuge from the violence, division, hate, and corruption plaguing the nation. And the Continuity in Crisis Bill suspending elections during times of crisis has passed, effectively ending democracy in America, pushing the country toward civil war. Despite the many challenges within and outside their isolated, mountain community, abandoning Beartooth is no longer an option. Most of its residents believe their location above the abyss will shield them from predators, dangerous neighbors, and a country in crisis, but Ash and Caleb have seen and heard too much to ever feel safe again.
