The heat was a living thing, but the real threat was buried beneath the dunes. Stranded in a barren wasteland when a massive wall of grit obliterates their path, a small group of survivors stumbles upon a heavily fortified mid-century underground facility that should not exist. Inside the humming, immaculately clean bunker, the deafening roar of the wind above is replaced by a chilling realization. They are completely sealed off from the outside world. The advanced machinery operates with a quiet, indifferent precision, hinting at experiments long forgotten by humanity. As the physical toll...

A xenobiologist with a research grant and zero interest in dating. A seven-foot alien healer whose tail won't stop reaching for her. And a thirty-day cohabitation trial neither of them signed up for. Maisie Brennan flew across the galaxy to study Vraxian bonding physiology — not to experience it. But when a badly labeled intake form matches her with Chief Healer Daxen as her "compatible partner," she's stuck: leave the station and lose her entire PhD, or move in with the alien and call it research. She builds a pillow wall down the center of the bed. It lasts one night. Now they're ...

Thanks to the various components that have been put together, the International Space Station is bigger and brighter than all other artificial satellites. With relatively low power magnification, people can see the solar panels radiating outward from the numerous international modules which make up the ISS. The reality of that platform, at the edge of the ocean of space, is pretty astounding when looked at from the perspective of history. Only 120 years ago, mankind did not know if it was possible to fly in a heavier-than-air vehicle.

Now that the astronomical community has discovered that something massive is tugging on our solar system the stage is set for discovering the motion that moves us from high ages of enlightenment to low ages of darkness.
