Ronan Falkrow, son of the famed "Savior of Earth" Rhys Falkrow, has never really known his father-or cared to learn. At 17 years old, Ronan is more concerned about maintaining his freedom and making a name for himself. Whether that's a good or bad name, he doesn't care. But when Ronan and the rest of his family are suddenly swept out of Firekli per his father's instructions, the teen is thrown headlong into a foreign world of autonomous machines, silver-haired humans, and technology far beyond the scope of his imagination. And yet, the most upsetting new adjustment to his young life is not the sudden upheaval of his home, but the appearance of the Alphas, an advanced humanoid species threatening to sap Earth of its resources. With his father's crew in danger and the world falling apart around him, Ronan must find his own path and walk outside his father's extraordinary shadow.

The Eads Bridge in St. Louis has an extensive history, most of which is shrouded in mystery. Most everyone in 1917 was willing to overlook the decades' slew of killings that happened under its metal framework-until beloved Bridget McGuire was found dead along its shoreline. With crooked cops gunning for their arrest and the general public adamant they played a part in her gruesome death, Frankie Fishman and Hershey Kapnick set out to identify and locate Bridget's murderer. As the metaphorical noose slowly tightens around their necks, the boys embark on a pervasive investigation that takes them from bars and pubs to Irish ghettos and burnt-out buildings. Smart, charismatic, and embellished with details of the time, The Bridge of Death reflects all that humanity has to offer-both good and bad.

As humanity struggles to survive in a dystopian nightmare wrought with climate crises, corporate corruption, natural disasters, and enduring war and the United Nations Federation seeks to transport humanity off planet, Ewen and Sundown begin feverishly working to alter Earth's destiny.

Rhys Falkrow, and his younger sister, Alina, were born on Caelestis, a colony located in the Solar System Hyperes. For generations, the people of Caelestis lived in peace, working together to consolidate resources and knowledge to create a unified race of humans whose sole purpose was to advance mankind. After a collision with a rogue asteroid though, the colony is tossed into chaos and Rhys and Alina are ushered onto a malfunctioning Life Pod.
