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.
Murphy and the Magical Hat When a rainy day threatens to spoil a

it turns her disappointment into joy
Zenn Scarlett's novice year of exoveterinarian training on Mars
isn't quite going to plan... After facing a plot to destroy her
school and its menagerie of alien patients, could things get worse?
Yes, they could: her absent father has been kidnapped. Desperate to
find him, Zenn stows away aboard the Helen of Troy, a starliner
powered by one of the immense, dimension-jumping beasts known as
Indra. With her is Liam Tucker, a Martian boy who is either very
fond of her, very dangerous to her, or both. On the verge of
learning the truth about her father, Zenn's quest suddenly
catapults her and Liam thousands of light years beyond known space,
and into the dark heart of a monstrous conspiracy. Braving a
gauntlet of lethal environments and unearthly life forms, Zenn's
courage is tested as never before. With the fate of entire worlds
in the balance, she is racing headlong into trouble... again.

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.

help. Autumn, 30 years later The world's ecosystems are collapsing.

call to arms.
