Mark was the most dangerous killer-for-hire in the world. But after learning the hard way that his life’s work made him more monster than man, he left all of that behind, and joined a twelve-step group for reformed killers. When Mark is viciously attacked by an unknown assailant, he is forced on the run. From New York to Singapore to London, he chases after clues while dodging attacks and trying to solve the puzzle of who’s after him. All without killing anyone. Or getting killed himself. For an assassin, Mark learns, nonviolence is a real hassle.

Accused of murdering five small children, Thomas Scott is released on bail. He faces devastated parents plotting revenge and a fiery detective taking the law into his own hands. But did he do it? The truth will blow you away.

Paxton never thought he’d be working for Cloud, the giant tech company that’s eaten much of the American economy. Much less that he’d be moving into one of the company’s sprawling live-work facilities. But compared to what’s left outside, Cloud’s bland chainstore life of gleaming entertainment halls, open-plan offices, and vast warehouses...well, it doesn’t seem so bad. It’s more than anyone else is offering.

Amateur private investigator Ash McKenna's time is about to expire - on his visa, that is. Having fled the demons that haunted him in the U.S., Ash has been laying low in Prague for nearly three months. Now, it's time to move on. But as he contemplates his next stop, a man named Roman appears, claiming to work for the U.S. government, and possessing intimate knowledge of Ash's many sins. Sins nobody should know. Roman offers to protect him...in exchange for a favor.

Not that running security at the Paradox was ever really easy. Nothing’s simple at a hotel where the ultra-wealthy tourists arrive costumed for a dozen different time periods, all eagerly waiting to catch their “flights” to the past. Or where proximity to the timeport makes the clocks run backward on occasion—and, rumor has it, allows ghosts to stroll the halls.

If life were fair, ace pilot Jose Carriles should have ended up a desk jockey like his former friend Corin Timony, back on the lunar colony of New Destiny. Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system.

Ashley McKenna is a blunt instrument. Find someone, scare someone, carry something; point him at the job, he gets it done. He generally accepts money upon completion, though a bottle of whiskey works, too - he's comfortable working on a barter system. It's not the career he dreamed about (archeologist) but it keeps him comfortable in his ever-changing East Village neighborhood.

Amateur private investigator Ash McKenna is home. After more than a year on the road he's ready to face the demons he ran away from in New York City. And he’s decided what he wants to do with his life: Become a private investigator, for real. Licensed and everything. No more working as a thug for hire. But within moments of stepping off the plane, Ginny Tonic, the drag queen crime lord who once employed him - and then tried to have him killed - asks to see him. One of her newest drag queen soldiers has gone missing and she wants Ash to find her.

We all long to belong, especially those in positions of leadership. But deeply rooted shame can keep leaders from connecting authentically and vulnerably. Reverend Will van der Hart and Dr. Rob Waller - an experienced church leader and respected psychiatrist - integrate the story of Scripture with the science behind mental health, offering real steps for transformation. When leaders know that they belong to God - when they develop a deep sense of security in him - they can overcome constricting shame and lead with confidence.

Gun violence, climate change and unemployment have ravaged the United States beyond recognition. Amidst the wreckage, an online retail giant named Cloud reigns supreme. Cloud brands itself not just as an online storefront but as a global saviour. Yet, beneath the sunny exterior lurks something far more sinister. Paxton never thought he’d be working security for the company that ruined his life, much less that he’d be moving into one of their sprawling live-work facilities. But compared to what’s left outside, perhaps Cloud isn’t so bad.

As an amateur PI with a bent moral compass, Ash McKenna is good at finding people - but not at staying out of trouble. Between his own violent tendencies, the shadow cast by his father's death, and a self-destructive revenge quest, he made a mess of his life in NYC. Figuring it was time for a change of scenery Ash relocated to Portland, taking a job as a bouncer in a vegan strip club. And he hasn't had to hit anyone in six months. So when one of the club's dancers asks Ash for help finding her daughter, he declines, content to keep the darkness in his past.

Ash McKenna used to be an amateur P.I. - emphasis on 'amateur.' Despite good intentions, he made a mess of his life in New York, so he tried to build a new one in Portland. But after a traumatic turn of events, he ends up on a commune in the Georgia woods, binge-drinking cheap whiskey and waiting for his passport to flee the country and nightmares that have followed him.

Du bekommst alles im Store. Aber das hat seinen Preis... Der Store liefert alles. Überallhin. Zu besten Preisen. Der Store ist Familie. Der Store schafft Arbeit und weiß, was wir zum Leben brauchen. Bis in den Tod. Paxton und Zinnia lernen sich als Angestellte bei „Cloud” kennen, dem weltgrößten Onlinestore. Das Leben im Cloud-System ist perfekt geregelt, aber unter der Oberfläche brodelt es. Denn im Geheimen formiert sich der Widerstand gegen den übermächtigen Konzern. Auch Paxton muss sich bald die Frage stellen: Ist Zinnia die, die sie zu sein vorgibt? Kann er ihr trauen.

​Effrayant hommage à Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood ou George Orwell, MotherCloud nous entraîne dans un monde où le Big Business aurait supplanté Big Brother, un monde d'une perversion totale, pas si éloigné du nôtre. Ex-petit patron désormais ruiné, Paxton n'aurait jamais pensé devoir intégrer une unité MotherCloud, cette superstructure de l'e-commerce qui a dévoré la moitié de l'économie mondiale.

Ash McKenna erledigt jeden Auftrag: Er sucht Vermisste, überbringt Drohbotschaften, macht gefährliche Botengänge. Barzahlung nach getaner Arbeit, manchmal tut es auch eine Flasche Whiskey. Bis ihm Chell - die Frau, die er liebt - eine Voicemail mit einem Hilferuf hinterlässt. Eine Nachricht, die er erst abhört, nachdem ihre Leiche gefunden wurde. Feinfühlig wie eine Abrissbirne macht sich Ash auf die Jagd nach dem Mörder und verwickelt sich dabei in die Machtkämpfe der New Yorker Hipster-Unterwelt.
