THEY HAVE BECOME THE GUARDIANS OF HUMANITY Renegade Unbounded are the last line of defense between the ruthless Emporium and unsuspecting humanity, but how long can they continue the struggle alone? Three weeks of waiting to free their allies from an Emporium compound in New York City have Erin Radkey and her Renegade friends on edge. Frustrations run even higher when they uncover a new Emporium plot involving the nation's highest leaders, a plan full of more deceit than Erin imagined possible. With each passing day, the pendulum swings closer to world-wide Emporium rule and mortal servitude. Making sense of her personal life is every bit as challenging as being a guardian of humanity. Erin fears that her increasing abilities will alienate everyone around her, including those who love her most. Her relationship with Ritter Langton has been on hold these past anxious weeks, and though their connection runs undeniably deep, the constant presence of the mortal Keene McIntyre adds to the tension between them. Choices loom before Erin that affect not only her personal life but how she does her job. With political intrigue and non-stop action, the Escape adds satisfying dimension to the Unbounded world, whose characters and storyline have captured the imaginations of thousands of readers.

Love and Duty-Both Can Get You KilledPilot Chris Radkey's only job in the Mexican jungle is to look after the plane while his Unbounded siblings retrieve a desperately needed cure. It was supposed to be easy. Much easier than seeing his wife murdered by an Emporium hit team, leaving behind two motherless children. Chris soon finds himself using every ounce of his Renegade training in a desperate struggle to secure dangerous Emporium captives and to save the life of a friend. His "easy" job has become a nightmare, one he may not survive. But the woman he cares about needs him, and he won't allow anything to stand in his way. Please note: Mortal Brother is not as long as the books from Erin's viewpoint. This tie-in to series can be enjoyed at any time. However, the events take place in the Unbounded timeline simultaneously with The Cure (Unbounded Book 2) and extend several days past that novel, so readers may better appreciate Mortal Brother after reading The Cure.

No Second Chances. Death, Life, or Love-Unbounded Always Play for Keeps.There are only two ways to kill Unbounded, and fire isn't one of them-as law school dropout Erin Radkey learns the hard way. By fluke of a recessive gene, she has become Unbounded, a nearly immortal being with paranormal abilities. Erin's Change separates her from her loved ones and alters everything she believes to be true. A week earlier she was considering a marriage proposal; now she contemplates the best way to stay alive. Caught in a battle between two Unbounded groups, she is also hunted by a secret mortal society sworn to eradicate the Unbounded gene. As Erin plunges into this dangerous new life, she must carve out her own place in the madness, protect her mortal family, and decide which group she should join. Her unique ability is vital to both groups in the race to secure an identification software that spells death for all Unbounded-or enslavement for the entire mortal world. Some will stop at nothing to use Erin as one more pawn in a battle that has spanned centuries. Erin's undeniable attraction to Ritter Langton, whose family was massacred by opposing Unbounded two hundred and forty years ago, complicates her choices. There are no second chances. Death, life, or love-Unbounded always play for keeps. Non-stop action, terrifying consequences, and powerful romance make this an exciting addition to the world of romantic urban fantasy.

Only One Can Survive The ReckoningErin Radkey has always known the day would come when she would have to personally confront the Triad leader of the power-hungry Emporium.

The stakes are high as new intel uncovers a startling Emporium plot that will catapult the entire world into war. Erin is determined to save not only the mortals but also her friends-even if it means sacrificing herself and her newfound love for Ritter Langton.

Every day the enemy grows stronger. There will be no second chance.

It's time for sixers to fight back!Lyssa Sloan is a sixer, one of the lucky few who escaped Colony 6 before the extermination began. Lyssa has long been forced to hide the truth of her daughter's birth and her own unusual ability, even from the man she loves, or risk exile to a colony. Now with tightening control throughout the CORE and a new Elite plot to enslave more of the population, she and her reunited sixer crew are all that stand in the way of a corrupt government bent on total control.The crew braves radiation-crazed beasts to seek help outside the CORE Territories. But will the leaders of Newcali become their allies or lead to their downfall? Whatever the answer, the betrayals they must make mean there is no going back. It's now or never

Welcome to the CORE: Commonwealth Objective for Reform and EfficiencyDetective Reese Parker is a survivor. Having left behind a violent past in Welfare Colony 6, she is now a sketch artist and detective with the New York Enforcer Division. Her entire focus is maintaining peace and order among the CORE's remaining two million residents, to make certain their society never faces another economic and nuclear Breakdown.She must also keep her secret. Because she never wants to be sent back to Colony 6. With constant Teev surveillance and rigid control in the CORE's most heavily populated state, Reese's job mostly consists of tracing small-time juke pushers or sending rebellious students to reconditioning. She doesn't have to face demented fringers that encroach upon the Core like her counterparts in Dallastar do, or patrol the northern borders where radiation-crazed animals attack unwary travelers. She's content with being the most accurate sketch artist in the CORE. But when one of her sketches puts her up against a human monster bigger than anything else that threatens the CORE, it's a fight she might not survive. Note from the authorThis novella is part of my Colony Six futuristic dystopian sci-fi series. After finishing the first two books, I decided I wanted to write about the catalyst that took Reese, one of my important characters, back to Dallastar near where she grew up and where the series really begins. This is the case that almost got her killed and eventually led to events that in subsequent books reunites her with her childhood crew from Welfare Colony 6, otherwise known as the Coop (after the cramped conditions and chickens they raised there for extra food).You can read this story either before or after the first two books-it doesn't have spoilers. If you are new to my series, keep in mind that this short piece won't contain the intricacies of the much longer novels, but I hope it'll give you a taste of my post-apocalyptic world. I've included terms at the end of the novel to help catch you up, so maybe take a peek at those. Enjoy!

His visions can save them-if he defeats the madness that waits for them allEnforcer Jaxon Tennant and his former Colony 6 crew are the last hope for a post-Breakdown society, where CORE Elite experiment on and enslave those they profess to aid. Jaxon's gift of premonitions, his visions of what will be, are growing stronger and more frequent-and equally more terrifying. But he sees nothing of the vision he needs most, and if he doesn't find a way to change that, there may not be a future for one of his crew. When they attempt to save a potential ally, the man turns out to be more than what he seems, and the crew must make a hard choice. Either way, people will die. When their plan goes sideways, they start down a path that might get them all killed before they have the chance to save the CORE's two million residents. Before Jaxon has a chance to win the woman he will always love. What more they uncover about their past and Jaxon's parentage might be the most startling revelation of all.
