Spensa's world has been under attack for hundreds of years. An
alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from
the sky in a never-ending campaign to destroy humankind. Humanity's
only defense is to take to their ships and fight the enemy in the
skies. Pilots have become the heroes of what's left of the human
race. Spensa has always dreamed of being one of them; of soaring
above Earth and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined
with her father's - a pilot who was killed years ago when he
abruptly deserted his team, placing Spensa's chances of attending
flight school somewhere between slim and none. No one will let
Spensa forget what her father did, but she is still determined to
fly. And the Krell just made that a possibility. They've doubled
their fleet, making Spensa's world twice as dangerous . . . but
their desperation to survive might just take her skyward . . .

The future of Landerton, a town on the verge of chaos, lies in
the hands of two brothers. Fortunately, these aren't just average,
everyday men. These brothers are heroes.
And not just average, everyday heroes-they are superheroes named
Lightning Bolt and Blazer, although they have no memories of their
origins. But even with super powers, they may not learn the truth
about the violence threatening their town until it is too late.
They're going to need help, and these young superheroes will
soon come to see that anyone can be a hero when the situation calls
for it. When it really matters, the people you grew up with can be
heroic too, and the whole town will need a substantial amount of
courage and help to save themselves.
Now, the brothers will have to dig deep to stay a step ahead of
a psychotic, ill-tempered assassin who is honor-bound on a dark
mission; a crazed man obsessed with vengeance; a bank robber who
can teleport; a female mastermind-and whatever else lurks in the
shadows of their past.
As the brothers go through their first epic adventure, they find
great friends-friends they will need for the biggest battle of
their young lives.
The world and its future are at stake, and only Lightning Bolt
and Blazer can save it.

In the not-too-distant future, the human race has descended into an
abyss of degradation from which there is no return. A supernatural
being called The Mist determines to begin a new race of man to
completely replace the human race. But the chosen few for this
project are not the meek of the Earth, but the hard, brutal men,
women, boys, and girls who possess a code of honor that suits The
Mist.The Mist guides and protects these humans as they evolve from
her chosen seed to become conquerors of the known and unknown
universe. There is William 'Billy' Holt, the sixteen-year-old son
of a baker, who becomes a hardened combat veteran; Sandra Franks, a
girl who grows up swinging her fists; and Max Dent, a boy who loses
his parents and becomes a juvenile delinquent. There will be others
to join The Mist's plan, and when this band of misfits becomes the
crew of the starship, "The Einstein, " they sow the seeds of a
master warrior race as they prepare to do The Mist's bidding. A
rousing science fiction novel, "Einsteinee Evolution" begins the
compelling odyssey of The Mist's chosen ones.
The earth has been uninhabitable for decades, but now humanity has
returned to the planet. Mankind, though intellectually advanced has
become spiritually sightless and bound by fear and insecurity and
mankind's survivors have grown apart into two tribes: the
spiritually enlightened Otom, living in brotherhood with the
ocean-dwelling Mers, and the unemotional, strangely youthful
Scientists, who live in their city beneath the ground. The Otom and
the Scientists have the opportunity to meet and learn from each
other. But the Otom must reach enlightenment if they are to
survive, and some of the Scientists have plans that threaten their
goal.
