On May 7, 1945, when the German army surrendered to the Allies, World War II in Europe ended. Or did it?

In the closing stages of the madness and in its aftermath, two million German women were raped by the vengeful Russian army. Daughters and granddaughters, mothers and grandmothers. Two hundred thousand were violated by American troops. Four hundred thousand children were born out of sexual assault. Three hundred thousand were left orphans by the general carnage. There were seven thousand suicides alone in Berlin.

Hidden among the hundreds of thousands of displaced persons left homeless, nationless, by the war is a killer. Calculating. Determined. Munich, the epicenter of the rise of Hitler’s Nazi Party, still in recovery, is the perfect place to hide. The black market flourishes. Crime is rampant. Former SS officers, remnants of the Gestapo, criminal doctors keep to the shadows hoping to avoid capture and the gallows.

In 2070, the year Evangeline Renee Pelletier turns sixteen, gigantic storms leave much of the East and Gulf coasts uninhabitable. Drought, food shortages lead to vast human migrations, a frightened populace and a government that is out for blood.

Evangeline, called Ren, is a budding poet whose emotions are laid bare in her verses. She has an ‘old soul’ and longs for the days when her Arcadian ancestors lived off the land. A voice for her generation, she bemoans the loss of a past she never experienced and worries about a future nobody can predict. She is brave, resourceful and vulnerable entering adulthood without any idea who she might become.

It is 1931. Adolf Hitler is less than two years away from becoming the dictator of Germany. But nothing is certain. He is walking a political tightrope. He is maneuvering to court the German upper class, while trying not to disavow the violence of his Stormtroopers. Then, in September of that year, his niece, twenty-two-year-old Geli Raubal, is found dead of a gunshot wound to the chest in her locked bedroom in Hitler's flat. Is it suicide, as Hitler claims, or is it something more sinister?

For the unwanted, Fatherland, Motherland, Holy Land ultimately mean nothing. The only true homeland is family. 

Hana Ziegler is a fourteen-year-old child prodigy. But on September 1, 1939, as Hitler invades Poland and World War II begins, she is being taken to the Hollenschloss Institute to be euthanized. 
 

The compelling story of a young woman who discovers that the mysteries she remembers may be all that lies between her and extinction of the earth.

It is 1996 when a helicopter carrying a geological survey team is forced to land in the Amazon rain forest. There, they soon discover the only remnants of an indigenous tribe hidden for thousands of years: an elderly shaman, two boys, a girl, and an infant named Suyape. Medical tests run on the five Ipanao survivors indicate one troubling fact—something is not right with their DNA.

A tale of intrigue, betrayal, and ruthless ambition set against the treacherous background of the Middle East on the brink of war.

On the eve of the American invasion of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, an international cast of schemers, spies, clergy, and scientists race to claim the greatest prize the world has ever seen. American archaeologist Molly O’Dwyer has unearthed a long-lost burial mound in ancient Babylon. Whose remains are in it? Are they related to the mysterious Gospel of Hannaniah, the alleged daughter of Jesus of Nazareth? Will the revelation of her shocking findings destroy the church and the faith of billions? This tale of intrigue, betrayal, and ruthless ambition set against the treacherous background of the Middle East on the brink of war, piles on the suspense until the final gripping scenes.

What does it truly mean to be 'Human'?

Chiku Flynn wasn't raised to be human. Born in the Congolese rainforest, she spends her first eleven years as part of an experiment. For her, the aboriginal-the primitive-is 'normal.'

Just after her eleventh birthday, Chiku witnesses the horrifying death of her mother, and her father sends her 'home' to the United States, to a normal teenager's life. But she can't adapt. She is the proverbial wild child-obstinate and defiant.
