Book Description
Set in San Francisco in the 1960s, The Last City Room chronicles the conflict that erupts, ideologically and physically, between the old guard of an aging city newspaper and the ascendant Berkeley radicals determined to be heard at any cost. It's almost a tradition in the city room of The Herald for journalists to collapse at their desks, having worked, imbibed, and smoked themselves into the grave. On these occasions the behavior required by the dead man's erstwhile colleagues - a group of cynical old news hounds with skin the color of faded newsprint - is to applaud, simultaneously hailing their fallen comrade and signaling an opening in the city room. It is in this manner that William Colfax, an ambitious young reporter, earns a coveted position as a staff member of this long-respected newspaper. Colfax accepts the offer mere minutes after his predecessor's body has been carted away. The Last City Room depicts the decline of an influential newspaper in San Francisco during the turbulent early 60s. As the conservatism of the old guard, led by The Herald's publisher and his bylined minions, clashes with the radical leaders ascending to power in the city, Colfax quickly realizes that the golden days of The Herald are long over. With his past threatening to ensnare him between the two warring factions, Colfax's struggle quickly becomes one of not simply proving himself as a reporter, but of maintaining his independence and integrity as a journalist.

Book Description
The stunning, final chapter in the Resurrection Trilogy The end has come. Seattle has burned to the ground. The Rocky Mountain West is as empty as a moonscape. But the eastern United States is teeming with the infected, with militias, with bandits . . . and worse. Annie Starling is still alive, though, and she carries a great and terrible secret. If she and her companions can make it all the way to Atlanta, they might be able to save whatever scrap of civilization remains. But they can’t get there alone, and the men who say they can take her may pose the most dangerous threat to her yet. Critical Praise for the Resurrection Trilogy “Riveting! Nail biting! A couldn't-put-down read that kept this Walking Dead fan on the edge of her seat.” —Annie Reed, author of The Patient Z Files “For fans of World War Z and The Walking Dead, Michael J. Totten's Resurrection is the novel you've been waiting for.” —Scott William Carter, author of Ghost Detective “Resurrection dragged me in from the first page, with fast-paced, suspense-filled action and multi-layered and totally believable characters. Painting a vivid and gritty picture of a post-apocalyptic Northwest, Totten puts us into the minds and emotional struggles of a group of mismatched survivors forced to band together for protection even when they're on the verge or ripping each other apart. He also wrote one of the scariest passages I've read in any horror or suspense story… so be warned if you're afraid of the dark, or water, or both.” —JC Andrijeski, author of Rook

“A genre-defying blend of crime writing and science fiction.”—Alexandra Alter, The New York Times Detective Hank Palace returns in the second in the speculative mystery trilogy set on the brink of the apocalypse. There are just 77 days before a deadly asteroid collides with Earth, and Detective Palace is out of a job. With the Concord police force operating under the auspices of the U.S. Justice Department, Hank's days of solving crimes are over...until a woman from his past begs for help finding her missing husband. Brett Cavatone disappeared without a trace—an easy feat in a world with no phones, no cars, and no way to tell whether someone’s gone “bucket list” or just gone. With society falling to shambles, Hank pieces together what few clues he can, on a search that leads him from a college-campus-turned-anarchist-encampment to a crumbling coastal landscape where anti-immigrant militia fend off “impact zone” refugees. Countdown City presents another fascinating mystery set on brink of an apocalypse--and once again, Hank Palace confronts questions way beyond "whodunit." What do we as human beings owe to one another? And what does it mean to be civilized when civilization is collapsing all around you?

Book Description
Before: Centuries ago, the heavens exploded and rained destruction down upon the world of Palar; hurling the Gods from their thrones and shattering their kingdoms. Like meteors the Gods fell, and their heavens fell with them. The world of Palar died that day, but humanity survived. Each survivor, first in the hundreds, and then in the thousands found themselves drawn to the city of Horizon. Horizon was a city unlike any other before it; built from the ruins of the heavens and the hells that fell from the sky that night. Humanity found shelter there, but they also found hope. They also found their gods waiting for them. Now: Kel Lothless is a sorcerer for hire; he’s also a part time troubleshooter with a well know dislike for the gods that run Horizon. When a group of priests, called the Maskers try to hire him, he discovers a secret that changes everything he knows about the city of Horizon, and the mystery that could destroy everything. Kel has to work fast to solve a mystery that threatens all of Horizon, but he’s not alone. Because he has the help of a mysterious alchemist, the masked priests of the goddess of Love, and a zombie necromancer. It's a tale of murder, deceit, and of magic best left alone, and, a secret that when revealed will change the face of Palar forever...Again.
