For thirty years, Dr. Harvey Griswold has been right about something no one would believe. The barrier between our world and an adjacent one is real, measurable, and under the right conditions, permeable. He has the evidence. He has the equipment. What he has never had, until now, is proof. When a single late-night experiment produces four seconds of footage that changes everything, Griswold brings in Carl Betzlow — younger, sharper, and considerably less romantic about what the footage might mean. Together they begin pushing toward something that neither of them fully understands yet, ...

Morrison Street becomes the first detected point of failure in what the theoretical physicists later describe as a coherence collapse event, although when Detective James Calloway arrives at a sealed apartment where a man has been found dead under unexplainable circumstances, there is no language available in law enforcement or forensic science that can account for what the evidence is already beginning to imply. The body is intact, unmarked, and consistent with natural death only in the narrowest biological sense, yet the identity attached to it has already been registered as deceased in ...

The Gunmen of the American Wild West Collection brings to life the history of the frontier west of the Mississippi in the latter parts of the 19th century. The gunmen ranged from lawmen to cowboys, ranchers, and outlaws. Most of the outlaws in the Old West preyed on banks, trains, and stagecoaches. Although spread thin, the law was present, usually on the level of deputy US marshal, county sheriff, and the town marshal or constable.

For three thousand years, an alien oversight body has watched Earth from a station hidden in the darkness between star systems. The work was never meant to be complicated. Catalog the species, measure their development, predict their trajectory, file the reports every fifty years like clockwork. Humanity was difficult to assess but not impossible. Violent, chaotic, repeatedly on the verge of destroying themselves, but survivable as a subject of study. Routine, in the way that difficult things become routine when you have been doing them long enough. Then the reports stopped. When ...

Brennan Shale has spent his career saying yes to the jobs no one else would take. Dangerous postings. Impossible timelines. Assignments that left marks. He has always had reasons, and the reasons have always been real, and none of them have made him easier to live with or harder to replace. When a man in a grey suit sits across a conference table in Geneva and opens a folder, Brennan discovers that his entire career has been preparation for one final assignment. Someone has to hold station at the edge of a supermassive black hole for ten minutes. Someone has to bring back what six probe ...

When field assessor Zuillda draws the short straw on a last-minute assignment to MEC-Catalogue 7-Theta-9, he expects a routine geological survey of an uninhabited world, a few weeks of collecting rock samples, filing numbers, and collecting a generous bonus from Meridian Extraction Consolidated before moving on to the next job. The planet has been sitting in MEC's acquisition portfolio for forty-one years, classified as sub-sentient, cleared for extraction, and ready for the kind of industrial transformation that makes shareholders very happy and geologists moderately wealthy. Nobody ...

Tomil didn't plan to visit Earth. He didn't plan to visit Earth the way most people don't plan to step in something unpleasant — it simply happened, against all reasonable expectations, and now he's stuck with it. After ending a three-year relationship with a woman whose primary contribution to his life was spending his money on vacations he hated, Tomil books himself a solo trip across the outer systems. He has a rental ship, a synthesizer that produces anything from food to currency to flawless diamonds on demand, and a detailed itinerary that does not, under any circumstances, include ...

When Ned Plunkett's brilliant brother John dies suddenly, he inherits everything. The house. The lab. The equipment. And seventeen patents on technologies that are, in John's own words, not quite ready yet. Ned is not a scientist. Ned has never been a scientist. But Ned has been told his entire life by everyone who loves him that he has a gift, a natural instinct, a practical genius that formal qualifications could never measure. And John always said he believed in him. It says so right there in the will. So when Ned finds a booth in the corner of the lab with three letters stencilled on ...

In a world teetering on the edge of absurd chaos, humanity discovers that their planet is under the care of a detached cosmic technician—an impartial, indifferent maintainer who fixes disasters they didn’t know they caused. Entire continents shift, cities vanish and reappear, and weather patterns spin into impossible combinations. Governments issue contradictory orders, citizens improvise with duct tape, kayaks, and inflatable flamingos, and social media explodes with viral documentation of humanity’s spectacular failures. Panic, guilt, and paranoia grip the globe as people attempt to...

As routines collapse and resources dwindle, they must find ways to adapt, collaborate, and overcome obstacles that were never meant for them to face. Hive is a gripping exploration of ...

He never wanted to change the world. He just wanted to be left alone. Hytemer is nobody special. A practical man on a distant world who fixes broken machines and explains things plainly. But when a casual conversation gets recorded and spreads across a dozen worlds, the most powerful corporations in the galaxy discover something terrifying buried in his DNA — not what he has done, but what he is capable of doing. The financial modeling is unambiguous. The decision is coldly rational. Hytemer has to die. He isn't arrested. He isn't warned. He simply becomes the target of a contract that ...

In a world where ancient gods still roam, humanity struggles to survive amidst the chaos of divine folly. God, egotistical and incompetent, repeatedly attempts grand gestures of power, each more disastrous than the last. Other deities—from the cunning Loki to the precise Athena, the storm-wielding Thor to the multi-limbed Vishnu—observe, intervene, and prank, turning cities into surreal labyrinths where physics, logic, and time bend unpredictably. Humans Todd and Mara navigate this unstable reality, learning patterns, adapting to godly mechanics, and exploiting divine egos to survive. ...

In the shadowed streets of turn-of-the-century Europe, Van Helsing walks a fine line between humanity and something far older, far deadlier. Haunted by the safety of the Countess and driven by vengeance, he follows the cryptic trail of a mysterious, arcane device that points to a shadowy organization controlling monsters, machines, and men alike. From the fog-choked alleys of London to the chaotic, industrial heart of New York, Van Helsing battles clockwork automatons, monstrous creations, and cunning assassins. Each confrontation tests his centuries-honed reflexes, his semi-cursed ...

Deep in the outer solar system, beyond the comfortable distances of the inner planets and the established shipping lanes and everything that passes for civilization in the twenty second century, a routine deep survey mission is working a nameless asteroid field when the instruments return a reading that should not be possible. Six kilometers beneath the surface of a carbonaceous rock that has been tumbling in the same slow orbit since before the Earth had continents, the mass spectrometer is identifying a coherent, stable, concentrated body of an element so catastrophically unstable that ...

Charles DeWitt has spent his entire life alone. Orphaned at seven, passed through the hands of strangers, he built his interior world out of mathematics and silence and the singular obsession that would define everything that followed. When he proved the existence of parallel universes and collected his Nobel Prize, the world wanted to claim him. He gave it a year and then closed the door and disappeared into a private laboratory in rural Vermont to do the only thing that had ever mattered to him. Not just proving the multiverse exists. Getting there. What he builds in that laboratory will ...

The Auster is a commercial salvage vessel that thrives in the blind spots of deep-space law. Owned by Renova Extraction, she runs the jagged edge between what is technically legal and what is actively prosecutable. Her crew is a collection of people who have run out of better options—individuals who do their jobs, keep their histories to themselves, and understand that mutual silence is the only thing that makes the ship function. In the lawless reaches of the shipping lanes, oversight doesn't exist, and corporate interests always override human life. When Renova dispatches the Auster to ...
