At his duty station, he leverages his personal money and a knack for managing people to get the company to come together as a unit.

Have you ever had a bad day? Sergeant Paul Mitchell had. It was the kind of bad day where nothing went right, everything that could go wrong went wrong, and everyone died. He knew that was always a possibility in the marines, but it really sucked when it happened to you: it wasn't your fault, and you still took the fall for everything. With his career dead and buried, he's forced to make it as a freelancer; a jack of all trades but a master of none. Just when he thought life couldn't get any worse a couple of stupid kids proved him wrong...again.

Hella is a planet where everything is oversized. The trees are mile-high, the dinosaur herds are huge, and the weather is extreme - so extreme, the colonists have to migrate twice a year to escape the blistering heat of summer and the atmosphere-freezing cold of winter.

When an overburdened starship arrives, he becomes the link between the established colonists and the refugees from a ravaged Earth.

It started the night Geena and Henry broke up. What was that strange light in the sky? A new star? A comet? Neither. It was the death of Venus. As if to commemorate the end of NASA’s golden couple, our neighbor planet exploded into a brilliant cloud of dust and debris, showering the Earth with radiation and bizarre particles as big as bacteria - a 10-dimensional superstring nanovirus that literally eats rock, transforming it into liquid, and then into molecule-size black holes that devour the very fabric of space-time.

Set against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens.

Caleb Mitchell gave up everything to protect his home.

Colton Beck has six months to live. He works for the Angor near Los Angeles, aware that any day could be his last.

He's been diagnosed with Xeno, a rare disorder that surfaced with the Angor's arrival, but he won't let this stop him.

Should I believe this huge, wild man is capable of love, or should I ignore my heart and take what may be my last chance to return to my world?
