Book Description
As volcanoes erupt, wildfires spread, and sinkholes swallow entire cities, two unlikely allies must survive the shifting landscape together or risk the enemies and dangers they’ll face apart. After an asteroid knocks the moon off its axis, scientists warn of Earth’s eventual destruction. Governments, Moon Maniacs, and doomsday preppers brace for the worst, but as the years tick by, life continues mostly unchanged, and it becomes easy to fall into a false sense of security. Ava Hernandez is no stranger to loss, heartache, and the struggle to survive. Branded a social pariah in her small town for reasons beyond her control, she’s grown used to people’s stares and mutterings over the years. Working two jobs while taking care of a sickly woman she owes her life to, it’s all Ava can do to keep her head above water, let alone prep for “the end.” Knox Bennett is country boy royalty and infamous for holding a grudge. His mother is dead, his father has gone off the rails, his brother has abandoned him, and Ava is to blame for all of it. While he might’ve been fed with a silver spoon, all the money in the world can’t prepare him or save his family’s ranch from what comes next. As fire engulfs the small town of Sonora, Texas, and nearby cities crumble, Ava’s and Knox’s lives become increasingly intertwined in the ensuing chaos, and they must help each other reach the safe haven alive. From the author of The Ending Series and Savage North Chronicles comes a new weather-ravaged survival story. Skies of Fire is a post-apocalyptic adventure set in the fire-scorched heartland of the American Southwest. This book is a stand-alone, with tie-ins to Waves of Fury, another Surviving Earth Chronicles installment. *** K Webster romance, spicy romance, post-apocalyptic fiction, survival fiction, end of the world action-adventure, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, contemporary science fiction romance, Lindsey Pogue, waves of fury, surviving earth, chronicles, savage north chronicles, cataclysmic events, apocalyptic horror, diversity, Hispanic, disaster fiction

"The Skies Above explains nearly any and everything weather-related...enlightening and a worthwhile source" -- Portland Book Review 2022 National Outdoor Book Award Silver Medalist in Nature/Environment Full-color photography and illustrations Details seasonal events, from Nor’easters and northern lights to fire whirls and tornadoes Sidebars dive into fascinating facts, quirky phenomena, historic weather events, myths, and more Written by self-professed weather geek Dennis Mersereau, The Skies Above is designed to inspire equal parts amazement and curiosity.

Pages : 336
Book Description
Skies of Ash is the second thrilling read in the Detective Elouise Norton series from beloved crime author Rachel Howzell Hall. Los Angeles homicide detective Elouise "Lou" Norton and her partner, Colin Taggert, arrive at the scene of a tragic house fire. Juliet Chatman perished in the blaze, along with her two children. Left behind is grieving husband and father Christopher Chatman, hospitalized after trying to rescue his family. Chatman is devastated that he couldn't save them. Unless, of course, he's the one who killed them. Neighbors and family friends insist the Chatmans were living the dream. But Lou quickly discovers the reality was very different. The flames of adultery, jealousy, scandal, fraud, and disease had all but consumed the Chatmans' marriage before it went up in smoke. Lou's own marriage hangs by a thread. Soured by the men in her life, Lou is convinced that Chatman started the fire. Her colleagues worry that her personal issues are obscuring her judgment. With very little evidence regarding the fire—and rising doubts about her husband's commitment to monogamy—Lou feels played by all sides. Was the fire sparked by a serial arsonist known as The Burning Man? Or by the Chatmans' son, who regularly burned his father's property? Searching for justice through the ashes of a picture-perfect family, Lou doesn't know if she will catch an arsonist or be burned in the process. "Gives voice to a rare figure in crime fiction: a highly complex, fully imagined black female detective." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review on Trail of Echoes At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
After many years of hardship and bravery, the human race faces its greatest challenge. The sweeping war between titanic races -- a conflict that has obliterated planets, extinguished entire stars, exterminated whole races -- is reaching its end game. Allies become betrayers, strangers become fast friends, and enemies clash in a struggle that will rock the galaxy. For years, the alien Klikiss robots have pretended to be humanity's friends, but their seeming "help" has allowed them to plant an insidious Trojan Horse throughout the Earth Defence Forces, and the sudden rebellion of Earth's own companies leaves millions dead and the Terran Hanseatic League defenceless. In a desperate attempt to save his own race, the Ildiran Mage-Imperator Jora'h is forced into a devil's bargain with the evil hydrogues, which will require him to ambush and destroy what remains of the human race. But the gypsy Roamer clans and the green priests of the towering worldforest -- scattered stepchildren of humanity -- have found innovative ways to fight, as well as strange allies of incomprehensible power. As the climactic battle is engaged, the Ildiran Solar Navy, the Earth Defence Forces, the Roamers, green priests, Klikiss robots, and hydrogue warglobes collide in a fury that will destroy many and change the landscape of the Spiral Arm forever.
