Adam Eberhardt has always felt different, but he never would’ve guessed he was a clone of Albert Einstein. Science geeks don't usually live inside the body of a hulk. A brain that never shuts off can be a blessing or a curse, but Adam hasn’t felt many blessings during his sleepless nights, regular victims of his severe anxiety disorder. Weaving through harrowing childhood memories, science research, and self-doubt, he most enjoys spending his mind power thinking about his wunderkind fellow student, Margot. . .who remains oblivious to his interest.

No one can survive the electrocution of 50,000 volts. No one but Andromeda Somers. Now she's recovering in a place she never knew existed and learning more about herself than ever before. In an effort to protect her children, Andromeda avoids them at all costs. She doesn't trust herself, she doesn't trust Adam, and she definitely doesn't trust Burton Crane. Getting too close puts them in danger, again.

My name is Catalina Somers, and it has been twelve months, two weeks, four days, and nine hours since my mother went missing. The Hanford Sovereign want to know where she is. Burton Crane wants to know where she is. Even though we don't know anything, the questioning is relentless.

There are two things that Andie Somers will never forget. The betrayal by someone she once trusted, and the Swamp People, a threat that’s always lingering in the shadows of the forests surrounding Phoenix. Now Andie has taken Burton Crane’s seat as a Funding Entity, managing the Phoenix District. But having been blessed with immortality, an immortality she did not want, the single task that consumes Andromeda Somers is finding out how to get the nanocytes out of her body.

Plucked from society, the Funding Entities had a plan for Andromeda Somers and Adam Waters. The ones who planned the Reformation were priming them for a greater role. One that Adam will never live to realize. He knew too much and now he’s dead, leaving Andie to raise their baby alone. But not all is lost; the Entities want Andie to uphold the principles of the Phoenix District, so they’ve released Ian to her.

Trying to escape from the Phoenix District got Andie two things, a broken arm and a broken spirit. While Andie feels like she might be losing it, she has a bit of hope to hold onto. Everyone else in her family may have been taken away or gone missing, but she has Lina. So she’s going to do what Burton Crane ordered her to do and genetically alter the Residents brains so they are the cooperative, docile humans he requested.

The beautiful planet Pern seemed a paradise to its new colonists—a return to an agrarian way of life—until unimaginable terror turned it into hell. Lethal spores began to fall like silvery thread-like rain from the sky, vaporizing everything—and everyone—in their path. The colony, cut off from Earth and lacking the resources to combat the menace, was doomed.
