  The Missing Room by Lynn Venable - It was a dream house; yet the dream could have been a nightmare... 
  From the low cruising helicar, the cottage appeared charming. Lorinda gave a little exclamation of delight and exclaimed breathlessly, "Oh, that one, Dyke. Please, we must look at that one.” 
  The helicar was only about a hundred feet from the ground, and they could easily see the "For Sale” sign on the green lawn. Dyke guided the helicar down onto the landing strip beside the attached copterport. The cottage certainly had the most modern conveniences. 
  They stepped out, Dyke assisting Lorinda from the helicar with all the self-conscious solicitude of a brand new husband. They stood for a moment on the neat little postage stamp of a lawn, arm in arm. 
  The cottage was different from the others on the block, it was similar in its contemporary design, its just-for-two smallness, but still, it was different. It seemed to radiate charm out of all proportion to its physical aspects, as sometimes a relatively unattractive person will, for no reason you can put your finger on, be utterly irresistible. 
  "I wonder if it’s open?” asked Lorinda. "There’s one way to find out,” answered Dyke. After a token rap on the door, he twisted the knob. The door opened quietly inward. 
  "Oh, Dyke, should we?’’

  Following the destruction of the City of Glass through an explosion of sonorics, huge numbers of refugees have descended upon the Chevakian capital Tiverius.  
  The refugees are mostly members of the rebel group Brotherhood of the Light, supporters of the old royal family. They are injured, scared and hungry, and few speak Chevakian. The young Queen Jevaithi and her lover Isandor are amongst them, safe from the Eagle Knights for now.  
  Young Eagle Knight Carro is waiting in an old farmhouse with his fellow Knights for the order to invade the camp, capture the Queen and deliver her back to his father, where she will continue to live as imprisoned puppet for the Knights' tyranny.  
  The Chevakians know none of this, and struggle to contain the refugee population, and the dangerous sonorics contamination the people have brought from their ravaged country, contamination that defies Chevakian efforts to contain it, and is getting worse, not better.  
  In their struggle for power, the Brotherhood and the Knights disturbed something from an ancient and magic civilisation.  
  The sorcerer Tandor knows what happened, but he is on death row in a Chevakian jail.  
  The southern woman Loriane is aware of the things that are required, but she is amongst Chevakians who can't understand her.  
  The Chevakian proctor Sadorius han Chevonian could put the pieces of the puzzle together, but he is struggling to keep the peace, and besides, Chevakians don't believe in magic.  
  Meanwhile, the massive, and malevolent, sonorics cloud drifts towards the city, hungry for revenge.

  Forced to travel on foot, Greyson and Lyster quickly learn the wasps are only the beginning of their problems.

With time running out, the group must reach the main campsite and commandeer a spacecraft, or else perish in the hellish fires of Mount Ragnarök.

  Brady knew two things. 
  He was the richest Trad in the world, and it had all been a little too easy. 
  Brady had everything he wanted, but it didn't feel quite right. He was the richest Trad in the world, and his wealth came from exploiting his criminal skills to the fullest extent. It was the fifty-eighth year of the one-hundred-year plan to save the planet, and Sattva Systems™ was leading the charge with their revolutionary nanotechnology and fusion power. Meanwhile the Trads, like Brady, were dying out in their millions. 
  Brady was a threat to the Green Revolution. Bodhi Sattva, however, had other plans for Brady, plans that would shake the foundation of the new Green World. As the stakes grew higher, and the consequences of their actions became more severe, no one could have imagined how it would all end. This science fiction series is both captivating and chilling in equal measure, a cautionary tale of what could happen if we don't take action to save our planet.
