When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

One thing is for sure, though, making our way out of this, dead or alive is going to be one hell of a Descent.

They were wives first, mothers, breadwinners, Sunday-smile neighbors, long before they became killers in the headlines. This book is the fifth volume in a chilling series about women who crossed the final line, and the nine wives you’ll meet here did it in the one place meant to be safest: home. Some struck in white hot rage, after years of humiliation, bruises, or betrayal. Others planned calmly and carefully, turning marriage into a ledger and a husband into a payout, killing not for freedom, but for cash. A poisoned drink. A staged accident. A hired gun. Each chapter follows one wife, ...

Who wrote Great Expectations? That’s easy: Charles Dickens. Who’s the author of Beloved? Toni Morrison, of course. Now how about the Old Testament? You’d think for a book as widely known, studied, and distributed as the Bible, the question of authorship would have been sorted out by now. But the question is more complex (and fascinating) than it seems. Why? Because asking it is to challenge everything we might assume about the Bible’s identity as a book, about what “writing” and “authorship” really mean, and about how a written text could become sacred.
