  He is my patient, my subject. The gorgeous cyborg who has fought so hard to regain the memories taken from him recalls most of his life, except his childhood. We journey to the village of his youth to be reunited with his family. The journey brings us closer, blurring lines I swore I would never cross. But Craal's resurfaced memories don't match what we find at his village, and I can't escape a sick feeling that we were not supposed to come here.

  I was turned into a monster in order to destroy my own people. Slowly, I'm remembering who I am with the help of a human woman. Claire is beautiful, intelligent, and I'm powerfully drawn to her. When we arrive at my family's village, my memories don't line up with the behavior of the people there. A pulsing sound that can't be traced gives Claire headaches and is likely the root of the mystery. As we dig deeper, we uncover an explosive secret, and someone will stop at nothing to keep it hidden.

  Eddie Marr never planned to be a supervillain, but it seemed like a surefire way to become rich and famous. All he had to do was come up with a flashy costume, a signature gimmick, and commit a couple of high profile (yet nonviolent) crimes. Eddie figured he'd eventually get caught and spend a year or two in a minimum security prison. Then he'd write a tell-all book, do the talk show circuit, and parlay that into a regular TV hosting gig. 
   
   
   
  But the best laid plans . . .  
   
   
   
  As the Puzzler, Eddie was strictly a C List supervillain. He matched wits with Dark Revenger, a grim and gritty, street-level superhero. Eddie always managed to get away unscathed, but one night, things go horribly wrong and the Dark Revenger is dead. It's one thing to steal the Mona Lisa. But killing a world famous superhero? That's hard time with the worst of the worst. 
   
   
   
  Most people would cash out, change their identity, and go on the run. But Eddie knows there's no running if you're responsible for the death of an A List superhero. The only chance Eddie has in staying out of prison, and staying alive, is to take the Dark Revenger's place and not let the rest of the world know the original is dead.

  The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster - In a future where human contact is almost eliminated by The Machine, Vashti’s tranquil, isolated life is interrupted by a plea from her son, to experience the world outside the Machine’s influence. As Vashti struggles to understand his desire to see the stars from the Earth’s surface, a profound disconnect between their realities begins to emerge. 
  The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster is a dystopian novella that explores a future where humanity lives underground, relying entirely on a vast, all-encompassing Machine that caters to every need. People live in isolation, communicating through video screens and avoiding physical interaction. The story follows Vashti, a lecturer who believes in the Machine’s infallibility, and her son Kuno, who dares to question its authority. Kuno’s rebellious journey to the Earth’s surface reveals a world destroyed by the Machine’s dominance. As he learns the truth, the Machine begins to break down, leading to the collapse of the society it controlled. The novella serves as a powerful critique of technological dependence, dehumanization, and the loss of individuality. Forster’s work, written in 1909, eerily predicts many aspects of modern life, making it a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of technology’s impact on humanity.
