At a given time, seven people on Earth have the mark. They are known as emulators, and they are hunted…
A.A. McCoy was lucky enough to discover a pattern in the trees. Now he is locked up. They will kill McCoy when they get it out of him. The location of the seventh key.

In Antarctica, the cold part, Belle Vail does not know she is an emulator. Not yet. Instead this callused deep core driller is too busy falling in love in the most romantic spot on earth. They will find her here though. It is the first place they look.

They are The Smiths, a faction started 900 years ago by Saint Malachy of Ireland when he predicted Pope Francis would be the last pope. Malachy also foresaw the emulators and the hunt for the keys. He did not intend to unleash such malevolence.

After a famed archeologist is murdered, his daughter Cana finds a message from him. He tells her The Smiths cannot be allowed to find the seventh key. She is the daughter of a digger; she will not fail. She can’t.

For Caitlin, it’s a place to visit as a favour to a friend. All she has to do is check that the baby her friend gave up is being well looked after, then she’ll leave again quickly.

At least that was the plan.

When she feels an immediate attraction to Leo, all plans go out of the window. Drawn into spending more time with him and baby Alice, Caitlin finds herself falling head over heels for the pair of them.

But to be with Leo, she’ll have to betray her closest friend.

Is she willing to risk losing her friend for a shot at love? And is she ready for the complications of a relationship with a single father, regardless of how right it feels?

Six Americans refused surrender when Japan captured Guam. Five were executed. One sailor survived 31 months evading the Japanese.

December 10, 1941. George Tweed became the longest-surviving American fugitive of World War II hiding in northern Guam’s limestone cliffs. His survival depended on Chamorro families who shared their food, built underground networks, and endured Japanese torture to protect him.

When the Japanese suspected helpers, they responded with public beheadings and threats to annihilate entire bloodlines. Dozens were interrogated. Many were executed. None betrayed Tweed’s location.

Guam Eagle tells three stories the history books kept separate: Tweed’s extraordinary endurance, the Chamorro resistance that made it possible, and what happened after liberation when one Chevrolet became both gratitude and controversy.

Drawing from declassified documents and personal testimonies, this is the untold Pacific War story of loyalty, resistance, and complicated liberation.

In a space-faring future, janitorial engineer Casey Cassandra spends her days contentedly fixing robots on an ambassador’s spaceship. But when one of her robotic cleaning cubes happens to be in the wrong place at the right time, Casey overhears an ominous threat.

Someone is plotting to kill the ambassador, and that someone is a traitor within their own fleet.

Although Dessian is hard-pressed to believe Casey’s claims, he can’t deny that things have been strange lately aboard his ship. With the help of a lazy yet charming pilot, Dessian and Casey escape from their spaceship home. Within a few hours, all three of them are publically branded as criminals.
