    John Thomas Rourke, M.D., ex-CIA Covert Operations Officer, weapons expert, and survival authority is on the move again—searching for a cache of eighty megaton warhead missiles secreted on the New West Coast. It all begins with a fire fight between Brigands and a unit of U.S. II armed forces, a battle that ends with Rourke, and a seriously wounded Natalia, taking refuge on a submarine. The sight of the sunken remains of San Francisco is a grisly reminder of the Night of the War; the horde of half-dressed savages waiting on the shore, a deadly example of the madness of this brutal post-holocaust world. Surrounded now by murderous madmen and threatened by a mysterious officer who has been travelling with him, Rourke must call on all his training to escape and continue the search for his family. He must go on—he is The Survivalist.

    Retaliation. Revenge. Punishment. Ancient primal feelings that lay dormant within each of us, within our DNA. Waiting for the right moment to be called into action. Called out to balance the scales between wrong and retribution. 
    William Johnson is the most famous man in the world. A veteran hero of the alien war, whose personal sacrifice saved the human race from extinction. Following the war his inventive talents blossomed, and he became the most prolific and versatile inventor since Leonardo Da Vinci. He was knighted by the King of England as, ‘The Hero of the World’. 
    Over the course of his life, William Johnson has suffered the fallout of that fame. There was nowhere he could go without a crowd forming around him. Moreover, he was always under the watchful eye of government and big business, who considered his inventive talents their private asset to be manipulated, controlled and exploited. Then in 2067, the government made a move to seize one of his inventions and gave orders to its agents to eliminate anyone with any knowledge of it. They came after his grandson. A frightening event that William Johnson was not going to forget, nor forgive. 
    For years, William Johnson has planned the punishment of government for that attempt. And for years, he has been patiently waiting for the right moment to arrive. Today was that day. Today William Johnson was going to break free and move himself out from under their control. He was changing the game, shifting their control over money and power. A conflict that would soon repeat itself across the country. However, changing the Status Quo would not come easy for anyone. Not for his family, and not for others who will suffer the consequence.

    A miraculous, life-enhancing microbe has been discovered on Mars and the race is on to bring the organism back to Earth. But failed physicist Jack Harding has his own reasons to get to Mars first—to save a dying, seven-year-old boy. All he must do to succeed is break the law—the law of gravity. To make the mission to Mars, Jack must perfect a ground-breaking anti-gravity technology and avoid being killed by ruthless billionaire, Travis Locke, a man who has no qualms with breaking a few laws himself—even murder. The life of a young boy, one of five orphans entrusted to Jack’s care, hangs in the balance as Jack struggles between the man he once was and the man he hopes he can be again.

    The old gods have fled, and the monsters they had kept at bay for centuries now threaten to drown the city of Valentine, hunting mankind as in ancient times. In the midst of the chaos, a serial killer has begun ritually sacrificing victims, their bodies strewn throughout the city. Lilac Antonis wants to stop the impending destruction of her city by summoning her mother, a blood god—even if she has to slit a few throats to do it. But evading her lover Arcadia and her friends means sneaking, lying, and even spilling the blood of people she loves. Alex and Cecil of Ace Investigations have been tasked with hunting down the killer, but as they close in—not knowing they're hunting their close friend Lilac—the detectives realize the gods may not have left willingly. As flooding drags the city into the jaws of sea demons and Arcadia and her evacuation team struggle to save people, Lilac’s ritual killings at last bear fruit—only to reveal her as a small piece in a larger plan. The gods’ protection costs far more than anyone has ever known, and Alex and Cecil are running out of time to discover the true culprit behind the gods’ disappearance before an ancient divine murder plot destroys them all.
