Following a journal left behind by his grandfather, Mitch Cassidy heads into the Venezuelan jungle in search of a legendary deposit of emeralds. What he finds instead sends him and Amanda Verdugo, whose father disappeared over the same jungle, on a search and rescue mission. Braving the country's dangers, he ultimately finds something more than the Jimmy Buffet life he's been living, and learns there is value in this land beyond mere riches.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Bound by unbreakable friendship and driven by the mysterious disappearance of John B's father, the Pogues face relentless enemies, untold dangers, and the deep secrets of the past. As they navigate love, loyalty, and betrayal, John B and JJ discover that the true treasure lies not in gold, but in the bonds they forge and the truths they uncover. In this epic tale of adventure and heart, the Pogues prove that together, they can conquer anything-even the most daunting challenges of all: growing up and finding their place in the world.
