The far future. Earth became inhospitable, with the climate ravaged and disease and famine spread worldwide. After the oceans rose, the people of Earth sent a massive ship out into the stars to find a new home. Dubbed Ark One, it is mankind's greatest accomplishment, a veritable living planet housing ten thousand people both living and cryogenically frozen. When a single man is woken up with no memory of who he is or how he came to be on the ship, it sets off a chain of horrific events that may threaten the very future of Ark One, along with every living being unlucky enough to be a passenger. Now also a podcast on all major outlets, voiced by Jason Hill. For more visit bloodstreamcity.com.

The Venturer is the world to those who are born and die aboard. Earth is distant history, the revolutionary engineers of the great long-travelling starship venerated like gods. The sparse resources of the interstellar reach are shared among the people. Everyone has a place - found through the all-important board games that rule life in a recycled universe. Cassie is a prodigy of the most revered games of all, those that train the Rangers who harvest stray asteroids from near space to feed the Venturer and its people. Against her better judgement, Cassie finds herself on a heroic mission through deadly vacuum, hundreds of kilometres from the life-giving modules of her home. However, nothing in space is as it seems. A shock discovery from beyond the black will thrust Cassie into the heart of a controversy that marks a new age of humanity, and reawakens the long-forgotten stirring of war.

You've never, ever read a book like this. When a sexually-transmitted plague breaks out in Ashley Young's small town, leaving its victims with a bizarrely amplified libido, everything about her life changes. DEAD IN BED is partly a suspense thriller with a strikingly unique story, partly a page-turning mystery about a disease that makes people hopelessly crave sexual contact, and partly a neo-western adventure in the American heartland. For readers who can handle a smart, controversial female protagonist who's willing to do anything -- no matter how difficult or morally questionable -- in order to survive, the series pulls them in like an unshakeable addiction. . . . Bailey Simms, teen author of DEAD IN BED, is stuck at home with a rare medical condition. Writing is her only escape, so she's determined to keep her salacious series hidden from her strict father. Soon an older boy starts to secretly help her, and Bailey finds new opportunities for freedom she's never had. But as DEAD IN BED grows in popularity, and Bailey's fans start to clamor for the sequel, she learns that being a successful Wattpad author may come with a terrifyingly dangerous price.

SIREN is a novel about six people from around the world selected by the UN to investigate a strange musical transmission emanating from Neptune's orbit. They're given a spaceship with cutting edge technology, placed into an induced coma, and expected to report back in three years time. But when the awakened crew arrives at the origin of the transmission, their electronics malfunction and they're driven through the Kuiper Belt. With their engines ruined, oxygen supplies dwindling and one of the team members suffering from hypoxia, time is of the essence for the troubled squad. Their situation grows ever more tense when Tommy Fletcher discovers three alien ships watching their every move. Tommy Fletcher, the protagonist of SIREN, is the resident linguistics expert who over-thinks, second-guesses and has a habit of biting his nails. He may be in his late twenties, but Tommy's ceaseless trepidation makes the rest of the hardened crew feel like he's fragile and witless. Will the chaotic events happening around Tommy break his brittle will, or can he shed his hesitant demeanour and become a hero?
