and exploration in deep space, from Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated

FEAR THE DARK.
The crew of the Artemis - led by Firewatch agent Alexandra Petrova -

Or so they think.
Some of the colonists remain . . . but they're no longer human.

If they fail, the darkness that has fallen over Paradise-1 will consume

Journal
In the next 23 hours, there will be no reprieve,
no mercy, and no time off for good behavior.
When vampire hunter Laura Caxton is locked up in a maximum-security
prison, the cop-turned-con finds herself surrounded by countless
murderers and death-row inmates with nothing to lose . . . and
plenty of time to "kill.
"Caxton's always been able to watch her own back-even when it's
against a cell-block wall-but soon she learns that an even greater
threat has slithered behind the bars to join her. Justinia Malvern,
the world's oldest living vampire, has taken up residence, and her
strength grows by the moment as she raids the inmate population
like an open bar with an all-you-can-drink supply of fresh blood.
The crafty old vampire knows just how to pull Caxton's strings,
too, and she's issued an ultimatum that Laura can't refuse.
Now Laura has just 23 hours to fight her way through a gauntlet of
vampires, cons, and killers . . . 23 hours to make one last,
desperate attempt at protecting the world from Justinia's evil.
"
"
The Final Reckoning
Laura Caxton's battles against the ancient vampire Justinia Malvern
have cost her nearly everything--her badge, her freedom, her
friends and family . . . maybe even her humanity.
And as she hides out in the deepest backwoods of Pennsylvania,
pursued by the cops who were once her colleagues, Laura certainly
looks beaten. But as Laura sees it, what little is left of her soul
is perfectly adapted to the job of ridding the world of its last
vampire. And thanks to the terrible clarity she's found, Laura's
come up with a plan--one that will finish Malvern once and for all.
But the ever-wily Malvern has a few last aces left to play and is
quietly dealing a hand that will involve a terrible fate for the
few friends Laura's got left. When the two adversaries meet for the
last time in their most epic battle, the vampires will force Laura
to pay a price far beyond anything she's sacrificed before.
For Cheyenne Clark, there's a bad moon on the rise . . .
There's one sound a woman doesn't want to hear when she's lost and
alone in the Arctic wilderness: a howl.
When a strange wolf's teeth slash Cheyenne's ankle to the bone, her
old life ends, and she becomes the very monster that has haunted
her nightmares for years. Worse, the only one who can understand
what Chey has become is the man-or wolf-who's doomed her to this
fate. He also wants to chop her head off with an axe.
Yet as the line between human and beast blurs, so too does the
distinction between hunter and hunted . . . for Chey is more than
just the victim she appears to be. But once she's within killing
range, she may find that-even for a werewolf-it's not always easy
to go for the jugular.
In the heart of America, in the world's most secure prison,
something horrible is growing in the dark. A wave of cannibalism
and fear is sweeping across the heartland, spreading carnage and
infection in its wake. Captain Bannerman Clark of the National
Guard has been tasked with an impossible mission: discover what is
happening -- and then stop it before it annihilates Los Angeles. In
California, he discovers a woman trapped in a hospital overrun with
violent madmen. She may hold the secret to the Epidemic but she has
lost everything -- even her name. David Wellington's first novel,
Monster Island, explored a world overcome by horror and the few
people strong enough to survive. Now he takes us back in time to
where it all began -- to the day the dead began to rise.

above the Earth. It has made no attempt to communicate. Out of time
and options, NASA turns to its last living astronaut - Commander
Sally Jansen, who must lead a team of raw recruits on a mission to

and her crew find themselves in a desperate struggle for survival -
against the cold vacuum of space, and something far, far worse . .

All the official reports say they are dead-extinct since the late
'80s, when a fed named Arkeley nailed the last vampire in a fight
that nearly killed him. But the evidence proves otherwise.
When a state trooper named Caxton calls the FBI looking for help in
the middle of the night, it is Arkeley who gets the assignment-who
else? He's been expecting such a call to come eventually. Sure, it
has been years since any signs of an attack, but Arkeley knows what
most people don't: there is one left. In an abandoned asylum she is
rotting, plotting, and biding her time in a way that only the
undead can.
Caxton is out of her league on this case and more than a little
afraid, but the fed made it plain that there is only one way out.
But the worst thing is the feeling that the vampires want more than
just her blood. They want her for a reason, one she can't guess; a
reason her sphinxlike partner knows but won't say; a reason she has
to find out-or die trying.
Now there are only 13 bullets between Caxton and Arkeley and the
vampires. There are only "13 bullets" between us, the living, and
them, the damned.
In the explosive conclusion to the vampire series begun with 13
Bullets, heroine Laura Caxton and her long-time nemesis, vampire
Justinia Malvern, finally clash in a decisive - and bloody -
showdown. Laura Caxton's battles against vampire Justinia Malvern
have cost her everything - the lives of her friends and family, her
freedom . . . and perhaps even her humanity. But even now, reduced
to a solitary existence as a wanted fugitive, Laura's not through
fighting. In fact, she's got a plan - a plan that will force
Malvern to come to her and allow the two enemies to face off one
last time. The ever-wily Malvern has plans of her own, though . . .
plans that involve Laura's few remaining friends, a battalion of
cops and an army of half-dead slaves.
Set twelve years after the shambling zombie masses have overrun
Manhattan, America, and the world, Monster Planet is the
mind-blowing conclusion to what must be the scariest trilogy ever.
Oceans of blood, scattered limbs, wanton violence, and general
mayhem abound, along with revivified mummies, a Welsh sorcerer, and
Wellington's signature brand of cool high-tech weaponry and sly
humor -- zombies, after all, are the ultimate consumers. What do
the undead want, aside from fresh meat? Do the steadily diminishing
number of humans who have somehow managed to survive over a decade
of living hell stand a chance on a planet where they've been
reduced to the status of prey? It all ends here, on Monster Planet.
It's one month after a global disaster. The most "developed"
nations of the world have fallen to the shambling zombie masses.
Only a few pockets of humanity survive -- in places rife with
high-powered weaponry, such as Somalia. In New York City, the dead
walk the streets, driven by an insatiable hunger for all things
living. One amongst them is different; though he shares their
appetites he has retained his human intelligence. Alone among the
mindless zombies, Gary Fleck is an eyewitness to the end of the
world -- and perhaps the evil genius behind it all. From the other
side of the planet, a small but heavily-armed group of
schoolgirls-turned-soldiers has come in search of desperately
needed medicine. Dekalb, a former United Nations weapons inspector,
leads them as their local guide. Ayaan, a crack shot at the age of
sixteen, will stop at nothing to complete her mission. They think
they are prepared for anything. On Monster Island they will find
that there is something worse even than being undead, as Gary
learns the true price of survival.
One man stood between them and us.
U.S. Marshal Jameson Arkeley--the country's foremost authority on
vampires--taught police investigator and vampire fighter Laura
Caxton everything she knows about monsters. After a bloody war
visited upon Gettysburg by an army of vampires, Arkeley gave up his
own life to save others. Except he didn't exactly die . . .
Arkeley accepted the curse and is now a vampire himself. What's
worse, he's the savviest vampire ever--he knows all the tricks
better than anyone. Caxton is now faced with the task of destroying
him. But Arkeley knows all her tactics too; after all, he taught
them to her. Caxton realizes she must finish Arkeley before he
succeeds in his quest to exterminate his own family, one member at
a time. But even more important, she has to prevent him from
becoming a beast exponentially more dangerous--a Vampire Zero.
The author of "13 Bullets" and "99 Coffins," David Wellington takes
the Laura Caxton series to a whole new level in this action-packed
third volume.
