From the imaginations of twenty authors of dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction comes PREP FOR DOOM - an integrated collection of short stories that tell the tale of a single catastrophe as experienced by many characters, some of whom will cross paths. What begins with a seemingly innocuous traffic accident soon spirals into a global pandemic. The release of Airborne Viral Hemorrhagic Fever upon New York City’s unsuspecting populace brings bloody suffering within hours, death within a day, and spreads worldwide within a month. An online community called Prep For Doom has risen to the top of a recent doomsday preparation movement. Some have written them off as crazy while others couldn’t be more serious about the safety the preppers could provide in a global disaster. But when AVHF strikes, their preparation may not be enough to save them. From authors Laura Albins, ER Arroyo, Amy Bartelloni, Brea Behn, Casey L. Bond, TK Carter, Kate Corcino, Harlow C.

Magic is an abomination--one that has grown tired of being hunted. The Inquisitors have hunted magical creatures for a dozen years, striking fear into the monsters that dare to escape the Rift. In the swamps in Northern Ocker, however, a new evil arises--one that''s not afraid of Inquisitors. One that''s hunting Inquisitors. One that''s killing Inquisitors. Still reeling from the pain of recent events, Simon is more than willing to walk into danger. But now he and Luthor must hunt this new evil into the very house of madness: The Sanitarium. And the madness seems to be catching... Apatura Iris is the fourth book in the "Magic and Machinery" series by Jon Messenger.

The Terran Empire has broken the Taisa Accord and invaded Alliance space in this exciting second novel in the Brink of Distinction series. Survivors of the Empire''s first assault, Yen Xiao and Adam Decker swore vengeance against the Terrans. Joining forces with the enigmatic Keryn Riddell, the three warriors must find a way to destroy the Terran fleet. But the Terrans have a secret weapon: a biological agent sold to them by an renegade smuggler. Now it''s a race against the clock to capture the smuggler before the Terrans decimate the Alliance homeworlds. When everything they do proves to be not enough to stop the Empire''s violent invasion, the Alliance takes the fight directly to the Empire by invading Earth! But Earth may not be the biggest threat to the safety of the Alliance. The biggest danger may be one of their own.

In a world of science, magic is an abomination, but not the vile creation Royal Inquisitor Simon Whitlock once believed it to be. Accompanied by his apothecary companion, Luthor Strong, and Matilda Hawke, a werewolf, they return to the capital of Callifax, eager to convalesce after their last adventure. Their peace is short-lived, however, as they are quickly sent on another mission. It seems the iron mines of Whitten Hall have ceased their production, no longer sending its ore to the crown. The Ministry of Trade has sent inquiries, but its representatives have all fled from the train ride to the distal outpost. It seems a vampire stalks the trains in and out of Whitten Hall, a vampire that will reveal the secret of the iron mine and the darkness that resides within. The Blood Thief of Whitten Hall is the second book in the Magic & Machinery Series by Jon Messenger.

Magic is an abomination. It spread from the Rift, a great chasm hundreds of miles long that nearly split the southern continent in two. The Rift was a portal, a gateway between their world of science and the mythological world of magic. On the northern continent of Ocker, King Godwin declared that no magical monstrosity would be allowed within their borders. The Royal Inquisitors were formed to investigate reports of mystical occurrences and, should they be found, to destroy them. Inquisitor Simon Whitlock knows his responsibilities all too well. Along with the apothecary, Luthor Strong, they''ve spent two years inquiring into such reports of magical abominations, though they''ve discovered far more charlatans than true magical creatures. When assigned to investigate Haversham and its reports of werewolves, Simon remains unconvinced that the rumors are true. What he discovers in the frozen little hamlet is that the werewolves are far more real than he believed; yet they''re hardly the most dangerous monster in the city. The Wolves of the Northern Rift is like Sherlock Holmes meets the world of magic. This is the first book in an all new Steampunk series.

Between the alien Alliance and the Terran Empire, a neutral zone stretches between the galaxies, a demilitarized zone that was established 150 years previous, following the Great War. The peace accord granted a semblance of peace to the universe. The peace, however, is a facade, and it is the responsibility of Michael Vance and his covert operations team to maintain that illusion. Recently, the Alliance lost contact with one of their outposts near the neutral zone. Surveillance scans show an abandoned city and no signs of life. The Alliance does what it always does: send in the best. But an unexpected betrayal leaves Vance and his team stranded. Worse, the city that was supposed to be dead is quite alive. And the monsters that now roam its streets are slaughtering his team, one at a time.

Terra Secundus was a paradise. Only the second inhabitable planet found within space travel distance from Earth, it was a lush world of exotic jungles and long, gently rolling prairies. It represented a second chance for humanity, who had expanded beyond the means of their solar system. Unfortunately, Terra Secundus also held another secret: rare minerals, the type corporations would fight and kill to possess. Sergeant Jonas Vega, conscript and soldier, wanted nothing more than to serve his time on the front lines of Terra Secundus, then return home to his family. When exposed to the Rage Virus, he instead becomes an outcast, no longer fit for reintegration into civilized society. As he tries to become just another citizen, he''s constantly reminded of just how far he''s drifted from "civilized."

Across the world, people begin disappearing. At first, religions claim it''s the Rapture, until they realize that everyone is disappearing, not just the faithful. The world population vanishes until just one man remains in the ghost town of Los Angeles. Finding a note on a manmade cairn outside L.A., Tommy harbors the hope that others survived the culling, and sets off on the long walk to the Grand Canyon to find out if he truly is alone in the world.
