Book Description
Some believe extraterrestrials will end life as we know it. Others believe the risen dead will ravage the population and dominate the Earth. And then there are the others who think terrorists will wipe us out. I say, why not all three? The year is 2020, nearly six years after much of the planets population has been wiped out. Through the eyes of a man named Dante Marcellus, you experience the reclamation of memories lost due to unknown reasons. With the undead and a slew of monstrous aliens (spawned from a rift in Manhattan) walking the desolate planes of the United States of America, the remaining population fights to survive under the protection of a group named PaxCorpus. But to make things even crazier, the homicidal terrorist movement, ZeroFactor, threatens to murder anyone not affiliated with themselves, a new world order, they say extinction. Fighting tooth and nail to get a grasp on the events of his past, Dante unknowingly causes a chain of events that lead to an almost mirror of the events that caused humanities situation to begin with. And with a vulgar, blood stained kick to the face, everything unwinds right before him, with the barrel of his own weapon aimed between his eyes. This isn't about glampires or raging teenage hormones this is PaxCorpus the beginning of the end.

Book Description
Picking up where PaxCorpus left us, Escape Velocity shoves you face-first into the abyss, grabs hold and never lets go. Follow Dante, Meryl and a ragtag squad of survivalists, who call themselves, Belligerent Underpaid Tactical Team, from the depths of the devastated state of New Jersey to the bowels of post-apocalyptic Manhattan. With less than a day's worth of supplies and their underground shelter lying in ruins, thanks to the terrorist cell, ZeroFactor, there is only one course-of-action--fight tooth and nail, bullet-by-bullet, to the enemy stronghold and Rift of Manhattan--or die trying. The insanity doesn't stop there. Cybernetically modified, former Harrisburg, Pennsylvanian cop, Dante Marcellus, has a new problem. An implant inside of his head, where a bullet had once been, acts as a telepathic network between him and the thought-to-be-dead, Nuhm De’Ara. Leaving a trail of bodies all the way to New York City, survival is less-than-certain, as their enemy clamps down with violent determination. And when there isn't even a glimmer of hope left for who remains, a man once known as Jack Marcellus returns--with vengeance and anger fueled hatred for the only person who could possibly save him from himself. This time, there will only be one man left standing. There are things much worse than the bite of a deader and the undead plague.

Book Description
The first, definitive reference on the natural history and ecology of every one of the known 6500+ species of lizards, spanning the entire globe. Our planet is literally crawling with lizards. More than 6500 species are known to science, and new species are being discovered annually. In this monumental work, eminent researcher Gordon Rodda has created the first compilation of the natural histories of all the world's lizards and amphisbaenians, as well as the Tuatara. Although other books have attempted to survey the scope of adaptations present in the world's lizards, only Rodda has been able to quantify and summarize all species or higher taxa. Analyzing the relationships among traits such as morphologic characteristics, reproductive strategies, and food sources, Rodda uncovers novel insights into reptile ecology. Identifying 14 recurring character syndromes across all the world's lizards, he proposes a new lens for categorization. He also touches on • common names • geographic range • length • mass • age • maturation • differences between the sexes • nominal variables, including diel activity cycle and foraging mode • home range • predator avoidance tactics • thermal biology • social spacing • climate envelope • habitat and microhabitat • reproduction • parental care • diet • population density • conservation status • ecological business models Rodda's alphabetical taxon accounts provide an instantly retrievable sketch of every species, genus, and family. Outlining more than 1500 statistically significant associations extracted from a data matrix composed of more than 300 conditions tabulated—to the extent known—for all 6528 species of lizards, Lizards of the World will be the go-to source for the next generation of reptile ecologists, as well as herpetology students and serious herpetoculturists.

Book Description
In the sequel to Meryl S. Kavanagh's PaxCorpus and Escape Velocity, Morgan Karga awakens on a derelict space vessel known only as the Tredecim, trapped within a super-massive black hole and life support running out. With her entire crew either missing or dead, with only the help of the ship's artificial intelligence, she must simultaneously force her way through her past and find the betrayer before time runs out. But when she does, when she finally breaks free over the event horizon, a much darker truth is revealed. Millions of light years from Andromeda, the Tredecim orbits a rogue planet host to a partially synthetic race that closely resembles humanity. Upon descending to the planet's surface, she quickly realizes that even the reality of her own existence is extremely flawed, and then she's taken in. Through conversation it is revealed that this particular rogue planet is not just any rogue planet. It is Earth. Everything, all of the bad and the destruction, the murder and the betrayal, all of this can be traced back to one person and one person alone—Julianna Moretti, maniacal madwoman on a rampage to bring down both galaxies and reign in humanity as their supreme leaders, and if you know anything about supremacist regimes, they are nothing short of terrifying. With the help of her new romantic partner, Paige, a woman who has existed on old Earth for more time than you could possibly fathom, and a few new additions to the crew, they have only one mission: Stop Julianna and secure all life that remains on Earth before the catastrophic event that triggers the imbalance of it's gravitational poles. But everything, good or bad, comes with a cost.
