Book Description
Three renowned masters combine a “tense interspecies battle of wits with tangy atmospherics and a bleak lesson on the meaning of freedom. A” (Entertainment Weekly). To be adapted into a major motion picture by Exile Content Studio Running from poverty and hopelessness, Ramón Espejo boarded one of the great starships of the mysterious, repulsive Enye. But the new life he found on the far-off planet of São Paulo was no better than the one he abandoned. Then one night his rage and too much alcohol get the better of him. Deadly violence ensues, forcing Ramón to flee into the wilderness. Mercifully, almost happily alone—far from the loud, bustling hive of humanity that he detests with sociopathic fervor—the luckless prospector is finally free to search for the one rich strike that could make him wealthy. But what he stumbles upon instead is an advanced alien race in hiding: desperate fugitives, like him, on a world not their own. Suddenly in possession of a powerful, dangerous secret and caught up in an extraordinary manhunt on a hostile, unpredictable planet, Ramón must first escape . . . and then, somehow, survive. And his deadliest enemy is himself. “This is smashing SF—a great manhunt story.” —Express “[A] gritty SF adventure . . . This tightly written novel, with its memorable protagonist and intriguing extrapolation, delivers on all levels.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Martin, award-winning sf editor Gardner Dozois, and Daniel Abraham combine their talents in this tale of one man’s search for his own humanity in a universe of diminishing returns. A good choice for fans of hard sf.” —Library Journal

The Reaper Follows
Author: Heather Graham
Publisher: Harlequin
ISBN: 0369748808
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Death comes for everyone. Deep in the Florida Everglades, the body of a woman is discovered in pieces, presumably ravaged by an alligator. Upon closer inspection, it’s determined no animal could make such perfectly precise cuts. Only a blade could do that. Wielded by a human. Soon, dozens of oil drums emerge amid the river of grass. Each one packed to the brim with body parts. FDLE special agent Amy Larson and her partner, FBI special agent Hunter Forrest, share a bad feeling that extends beyond the horrifying nature of the grim discovery. They’ve seen this kind of sadistic killing before, and when a small beige horse is discovered at the bottom of one of the barrels, they know exactly what it means. The fourth horseman of the apocalypse rides a pale horse—and his name is Death. With so many bodies to identify, connecting one victim to the next is easier said than done. But finding a pattern in the chaos might be the only way Amy and Hunter can zero in on the killer, testing their skills as agents—and their relationship—like never before. And when the disturbing trail of clues signals these slayings are just the beginning, the agents will have to return to where it all started before it’s too late. The apocalypse is coming, and Hunter and Amy have only one chance to stop it, even if it means sacrificing each other.
