An epic story of survival at all odds and now also a major Apple TV series.
In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't.
These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside.
Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.

GEPs just want to have fun . . .
A Genetically Engineered Person and self-proclaimed "party
girl," Echo Adams loves her diplomatic job entertaining alien
bigwigs for the Galactic Federation. But the Bureau of Alien
Affairs has discovered she's much more than she thinks--that a
rogue scientist endowed her with skills and psi abilities dwarfing
those of common GEPs. And suddenly Echo's luxury life is over,
replaced with a far more dangerous one: a special agent expected to
not only chase bad guys but eliminate them.
Echo hates being stuck on Madrea--a planet of technophobes off
limits to Federation visitors--hunting for a stolen quartz crystal
with a powerful alien life form embedded inside. She despises the
Bureau's restrictive rules--especially the one warning her away
from the dangerously seductive commander of the king's army. And if
she doesn't learn how to use her alleged super-psi powers soon, her
partying days--in fact all of her days--will be over for good.
The final, never-before-published volume in the noirish, gritty
urban fantasy for adults from the bestselling Children's author.
For ten years Capac Raimi has ruled the City. Created by the first
Cardinal to rule after him and continue his legacy, Capac cannot be
killed. But now Capac has disappeared without trace. His trusted
lieutenant, Ford Tasso, suspects the mysterious villacs. Ancient
and powerful, these Incan priests are the true masters of the City.
Only one man might have the cunning to outwit such deadly
adversaries - Al Jeery, who has taken on the guise of his father,
the terrifying assassin Paucar Wami. Al has no love for Capac, and
no wish to get mixed up with the villacs. But then Ford promises to
give him the one thing in the world he truly craves - the man who
killed those he loved most, ruining his life and setting him on his
current destructive path. Lured back into the twisted, nightmarish
world of the Incan priests, Al will learn more about the City than
he ever imagined, and be offered more power than he ever desired.
But in the City, everything comes at a cost...
A gripping sf adventure from the acclaimed author of The Pliocene
Exile series. Two hundred years into the future, the great
corporations of Earth dominate all life in our Galaxy. But their
endless pursuit of wealth and power is about to open the door to a
malevolent alien race, intent on engulfing the commonwealth of
Human Worlds. Helly and his companions attempt to capture a crucial
witness to the Galapharma conspiracy, who has taken refuge on a
hostile planet. Its insanely ambitious boss, Alistair Drummond,
will stop at nothing in his quest for power, and Helly is marked
for death as the two corporations continue to do battle. Meanwhile,
the Haluk follow their own appalling agenda, using human science to
mutate their bodies, allowing them to infiltrate human society.
Helly must find a way to alert the Human Commonwealth to the Haluk
peril, while also saving his family from Drummond's increasingly
desperate efforts to annhilate the Rampart worlds.
