Stare at the Sun
As the beleaguered United States scrambles to mount a response to the rogue nation of Pacifica, cyber defender Owen MacIntyre has his hands full working with a network of mercenaries, funneling supplies to a growing insurgency trapped behind enemy lines. But as new alliances are formed, and despite small victories and gleams of hope, the clouds of war continue to darken. Soon, MacIntyre realizes that for victory to have a chance, he’ll have to risk losing everything he’s been fighting to protect, as the possibility of a showdown with Pacifica’s Chief Security Enforcer, the ruthless Hayden Singer, looms ever closer. “Stare at the Sun” is the high-stakes, thrilling conclusion to the “Pacifica War” political plot arc within the greater Beyond Cascadia universe.
Harshest Dawn
A grim dawn rises in the Pacific Northwest… The progressive “Successor” party has seized control of the West Coast, further isolating the region from the decayed and feckless United States. Imposing their warped utopian vision on the defenseless citizens, the leaders of the new nation of Pacifica swiftly ramp up persecution of all social and religious opposition. In a haven far from the chaos, American cyber defender Owen MacIntyre hears disturbing rumors about conditions in his former home, but there’s little he can do to help. Frustrated and powerless, he wonders if it’s time to abandon politics and focus instead on building a peaceful life elsewhere with his wife, Sofia. But Owen’s ex-supervisor, Pacifica’s Chief Enforcer Hayden Singer, has other ideas. Even a world away, he has MacIntyre dead in his sights and is determined to make him pay for his disloyalty. Thus politics becomes personal when the fugitive couple is caught in a revenge-fueled scheme that rips their family apart. Desperate and driven, Owen and Sofia will need every skill at their disposal—and some top-secret, risky new technology—to overcome the nightmare of Singer’s sadistic plans.

Nano-Antimicrobials
There is a high demand for antimicrobials for the treatment of new and emerging microbial diseases. In particular, microbes developing multidrug resistance have created a pressing need to search for a new generation of antimicrobial agents, which are effective, safe and can be used for the cure of multidrug-resistant microbial infections. Nano-antimicrobials offer effective solutions for these challenges; the details of these new technologies are presented here. The book includes chapters by an international team of experts. Chemical, physical, electrochemical, photochemical and mechanical methods of synthesis are covered. Moreover, biological synthesis using microbes, an option that is both eco-friendly and economically viable, is presented. The antimicrobial potential of different nanoparticles is also covered, bioactivity mechanisms are elaborated on, and several applications are reviewed in separate sections. Lastly, the toxicology of nano-antimicrobials is briefly assessed.
