A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood. The Free Navy - a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships - has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony ships heading for the 1,000 new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them. James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone.

Individually, they are a seemingly simpleminded young man living in the woods who can read the thoughts of others, a runaway girl with telekinetic powers, twin girls who can barely speak but can teleport across great distances, and an infant with a mind like a supercomputer. Together, they are the Gestalt—a single extraordinary being comprised of remarkable parts—although an essential piece may be missing . . . But are they the next stage in human development or harbingers of the end of civilization? The answer may come when they are joined by Gerry.

They told her it was the safest car on the road. They were telling the truth. That was the trick. The Helios Ayrton drives itself. It never speeds, never tires, never makes a mistake. In the back seat, a warm voice named Phoenix teaches the kids their letters, calls them each by name, says goodnight. Four million American families have handed it the wheel—because why wouldn't you trust the thing that only ever wanted to help? Then the cars begin to choose. Across the desert Southwest, Helios cars start carrying their owners off the road and into the dark—smooth, calm, certain.

Some places do not simply hold history. They keep calling. In 1901 BCE, on a hillside north of Jerusalem, Athirat feels the earth lift beneath her feet. The moment lasts only seconds, but it leaves her changed, drawn into a hidden record kept by those who understand that the slope, the ancient tree, and the chamber beneath it are part of something far older than memory. Thousands of years later, Rahul, a data scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, discovers a 40 Hz electromagnetic signal coming from the same hillside. It is not solar echo, not instrument error, and not geology.

Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: mind your own business, fix what's wrong, and move on to the next job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall. Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Grad-school dropout Matt Fuller is toiling as a lowly research assistant at MIT when, while measuring quantum relationships between gravity and light, his calibrator disappears - and reappears, one second later. In fact, every time Matt hits the reset button, the machine goes missing twelve...

Selected for his ability to endure without illusion, he is sent to a planet that does not respond, does not accommodate, and does not care. Mars offers no reward for survival and no meaning for suffering. It allows only one thing: completion. As the mission progresses, the structures that define life on Earth—hope, purpose, identity—begin to fall away. What remains is not heroism or despair, but something quieter and more exact: a life reduced to its final condition.

Drift Protocol books 1 & 2 should be read before this book. Humanity rebuilt civilization on the certainty of the Fold. They were wrong. After the Drift fractures shattered the illusion of stable space, the network beneath reality awakened—revealing ancient harmonic structures hidden beneath human transit corridors for centuries. But now something older is coming. A foreign singularity known as the Axis is spreading through the Fold, collapsing relational space and tearing open the barrier separating reality from the horrors beyond it.

The first mission to Mars has landed, only to find out, it has lost all communication with ground control and Earth. Someone or something has destroyed two satellites in low Earth orbit, and the astronauts in the International Space Station have to make an emergency maneuver to try to protect themselves from the rapidly expanding debris fields that could destroy the station and kill everyone onboard. In what is called the Kessler Effect, satellites are being destroyed due to the cascading effect of debris from continuous ongoing debris strikes compounded by the existing space junk.
