Eclipse knows better. She has seen what mercy costs, and she won't make that mistake again. Survival is the only rule.

And in a world where humanity is slipping away, one truth remains: They never let go.

Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one.

And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series
Gliders
Carlo had a feeling something was wrong the instant he stepped onto platform JULIUS, a platform of numerous young cliques, theaters, skate parks, and quite an extraordinary view of the sunset.

The history is frightening and the fact that history seems to be repeating itself doesn't make it any less unsettling. "Imagine an entire civilization falling from the sky," Carlo says to his four friends. The world lives on platforms that hover thousands of feet in the air. There is no land on Quantum-59, and the ocean beneath is something that even Carlo's worst nightmares couldn't touch. Things will start to fall apart in a big way, and the only question is, who will make it out alive?Complete

By the time she returns to orbit, one question will remain: was any of it real?
