With a team member taken hostage and a child in danger, Sever Squad pursues a deadly agent across the galaxy.
Having left their command ship in ruins, the traitorous agents Vana and Renard look for the final missing piece to create a devastating new weapon. That piece lies inside a young girl's cells, a child hidden away on a watery, high-tech world with no interest in a war.
Sever Squad doesn't have a choice. Vana and Renard took their rookie, and Sever's going to do anything they can to get him back, even if it means sneaking heavy weapons onto a planet with no taste for them. The only question is whether Sever can save both their friend and the child before the agents take them both.
Grim Tide continues Sever Squad's sci-fi action adventure as the mercenary soldiers blast and bash their way from one world to the next, willing to save anything for the right price.
On a fringe planet, Sever Squad makes a last, desperate effort to destroy a deadly horde before it can consume the galaxy.
After licking their wounds, Sever Squad gets a tip telling them to pick up their rifles, their swords, and their ship: the last chance to stop a super soldier project has arrived. Aurora and the other Severs head out to make good on her promise to catch and, if necessary, kill the agent behind it all.
That agent, though, has friends. Sever's old employers see promise in the super soldiers, a chance to take firm control over the galaxy. To get to the agent, Sever's going to have to get through their former friends.
Aurora always believed in fighting for cash, but nobody's paying Sever this time. This last mission? It's personal.

After breaking open a sinister secret and deserting DefenseCorp, Sever Squad's been invited back, providing they give up the little girl they've sworn to protect.
Going home isn't easy, but Sever needs new gear, medical attention, and a hot meal after their fight on Wexer. At first, the Nautilus brings back memories, from familiar faces to friendly concourses. It's almost enough to let Sever relax.
Almost.
When the Sever squad members find themselves separated and picked off by DefenseCorp's shadowy arm, what had started as a chance to heal turns into a frantic fight for survival, not just for themselves, but for the thousands onboard the Nautilus that might be sacrificed so Sever's enemies can get what they want:
A child, and the miracle in her veins.
Home Front continues the sci-fi action series Sever Squad, bringing fast-paced adventure from the first page to the last as the five-person crew fights for their survival. Bursting with character and conflict, Sever Squad will pull you into a story you won't want to put down.
For some, their past haunts them. For Sever Squad, their past gets revenge.
After leaving Dynas with secrets and suspicions, Sever Squad abandons their employer and makes for a secluded mining world to figure out what's next. An offer to help remove some stubborn locals serves as a paycheck, one that quickly turns sour when Sever realizes those same locals aren't exactly the deadly killers they're supposed to be.
Trading conscience for cash is nothing new, but the stakes jump up when Sever's knowledge makes it to the wider galaxy and draws the wrong kind of attention. What should have been a chance to reset turns into a desperate fight for survival for both Sever and the miners as overwhelming force floods the world and threatens the mercenaries with total annihilation.
All to keep a secret.
Hope's Debt continues the sci-fi action adventure of the Sever Squad series, a smash-and-shoot story that runs on adrenaline from start to finish.
Sever squad went to rescue a missing VIP. Now they're broken up, hunted, and trapped on a planet filled with people, and worse, who want them dead.
Not that Sever would have it any other way.
Bashing their way into a fog-shrouded city, Aurora and her squad need to find the VIP and a way off-world before too many lasers burn through their armor. Getting the squad back together for the grand getaway proves tougher than expected, though, when Sever finds the secret behind it all.
Continuing the knock-down, drag-out sci fi action from Drop Zone, Helix Strike's relentless pace is packed with firefights, deadly twists, and characters that'll have you grinning as you turn the pages.
The mission isn't over yet: pick up Helix Strike and join Sever squad on their adventure today!
Get in fast. Rescue the VIP. Get out. Sever Squad is outnumbered, outgunned, and every second spent on Dynas ticks them closer to a fiery end.
When a strange rescue signal comes in, Sever Squad gets the call. They're tough, reckless, and one carries a giant hammer. Except this mission's different: the signal's calling for help, but the planet's deserted.
Oh, and Sever's home ship can't wait for them. If they want to get off-world with their rescue, they'll have to find their own way to fly.
For Aurora and the rest of Sever, though, the mission means serious cash. A chance to get out of the grind, find something that doesn't require getting lit up by lasers every other day. So the choice is obvious: load up, and move out.
Drop Zone kicks off the Sever Squad series, a fast-paced sci-fi action blend that takes a battle-hardened crew to strange worlds, trigger-happy enemies, and fair-weather friends.
If you're looking for your next adventure, strap on your power armor and join Sever in the drop shuttle. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Deep in the dark forest, in a cottage that spins on birds’ legs behind a fence topped with human skulls, lives the baba yaga. A guardian of the water of life, she lives with her sisters and takes to the skies in a giant mortar and pestle, creating tempests as she goes. Those who come across the baba yaga may find help, or hinderance, or horror. She is wild, she is woman, she is witch—and these are her tales.
Edited by Lindy Ryan, this collection brings together some of today’s leading voices of women-in-horror as they pay tribute to the baba yaga, and go Into the Forest.
In this exhilarating installment of the award-winning Scientists in the Field series, journey to the isolated islands of Isle Royale National Park where the longest predator/prey study in the world is being conducted along with a controversial genetic rescue to save not only the wolves and moose, but the entire island ecosystem.
On Isle Royale, a unique national park more than fifty miles from the Michigan shore and about fifteen miles from Minnesota, a thrilling drama is unfolding between wolves and moose, the island’s ultimate predator and prey. For over sixty years, in what has been known as the longest study of predator and prey in the world, scientists have studied the wolves and moose of Isle Royale and the island’s ecology to observe and investigate wildlife populations. But due to illness and underlying factors, the population of wolves on the island has dropped while the number of moose has increased, putting the Isle Royale ecosystem in jeopardy.
Now, for the first time ever, scientists are intervening. Join celebrated author Nancy Castaldo in this exciting journey to Isle Royale to document the genetic rescue experiment scientists there are embarking on. If they can successfully relocate twenty to thirty wolves from the mainland to Isle Royale, scientists can potentially restore the balance among wolves, moose, and trees of the island's ecosystem. Now the living laboratory experiment begins.

A pioneer of cultural psychology argues that emotions are not innate, but made as we live our lives together.
“How are you feeling today?” We may think of emotions as universal responses, felt inside. Using decades-long, cutting-edge research, acclaimed psychologist Batja Mesquita asks us to reconsider emotions through the lens of what they do in our relationships, both one-on-one and within larger social networks. From an outside-in perspective, readers will understand why pride in a Dutch context does not translate well to North Carolina, or why one’s anger at a boss does not mean the same as your anger to a partner in a close relationship. By looking outward at relationships at work, school, and home, we can better judge how our emotions will be understood, how they might change a situation, and how they change us.
Brilliantly synthesizing original psychological studies and stories from peoples across time and geography, Between Us skillfully argues that acknowledging differences in emotions allows us to find common ground, humanizing and humbling us all for the better.
