Over 700 years have passed since the world came to an end. The whole Earth it seemed had declared war against its parasitic inhabitants. The elements raged against them and the helpless citizens fled. Those who could afford the flight fled to space, leaving behind their failing planet, doomed by their destructive actions. But even after billions had left, billions more remained. The ones who had escaped promised to return for those unlucky ones, to take those that were trapped on Earth back on their ships. In order to survive until they could be saved, the remaining inhabitants of the planet cryogenically froze themselves, preserved and unharmed, hoping to avoid whatever awaited them in the post-apocalyptic world. Now, 700 years later, Benjamin Night finds himself without his memories and alone with four other survivors. With mutated and genetically engineered animals running after them and unimaginable natural disasters bent on destroying them, they are forced to travel to take the last ship that will ever leave Earth. Hand in hand, they must embark on a thrilling and life-threatening journey to save their own lives that is filled with lies, hate, betrayal and deception only to find one eternal truth. And together, they will find something they were not looking for; both a beginning... and an end.

Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.

Science of the west. Martial arts of the east. And aliens from above. What if there was something that tied in all three? This is a follow up novella to the short story, Remember. (Which means, in case you haven't read that yet, it would make a lot more sense if you read that first. ^_^)
