  The Sonoran Shield aren't the only hero team in the desert. 
  Trev and his friends encounter a famous veteran team hunting their same targets in the mountains. With their rising fame of the Sonoran Shield and growing threats to the entire country, the Shield thinks it's time to establish more formal alliances. 
  But not all heroes share the same priorities. 
  A shocking precognitive vision of a devastating attack on Tucson only highlights the need to team up, but the leader of the veterans appears more concerned with autographs and taking Cassie on dates than danger to civilians. When an old threat from 46P1 resurfaces, Trev and the team aren't sure whom they can trust. 
  A nightmarish threat requires nightmarish choices. 
  With time running out and hundreds of thousands of lives at stake, Trev is forced to push himself beyond his limits and decide what he's willing to sacrifice for the greater good. 
  Will Trev and the Sonoran Shield be able to save Tucson against a merciless danger that threatens to eradicate the entire city?

  MERCY RILEY is thrust into life in the cramped, cold little room down back of Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows Mother and Baby Home. In the rarely-visited coastal village of Weary Bay. A place of shame, Mercy is born and raised a secret. Never permitted to know her mother, her name concocted for expedience by strangers. While social acceptability is not her destiny neither is obscurity and around the age of thirteen she escapes. Lost and vulnerable she is discovered and aided by Black Annis, not even slightly mortal. Taken in by the Travelers she is sequestered, for her protection and education, with Maisie Raith the Weary Bay’s generations-long practitioner of witchcraft, where she learns some semblance of what it means to live beyond a walled, barred institution. She learns to heal and foretell a person’s death through tarot cards, but she is also taught—maybe randomly, maybe by design—to kill with precision. 
  At the very close of winter, the city of New Rathmore is rendered powerless beneath the frozen discord of a late season arctic ice vortex. The metaphor of From Winter, Spring is Born, is sung in folktales the world over; is anthropomorphized, of necessity, for children and should change as a youngster becomes adult but… What of truth? What is the game and how serious are the players? And where are the rules? 
  Almost everyone underestimates Mercy Riley. Most do not realize she is not—and never will be—like them. 
  The Legends of the Sídhe series is a rewilded ecology in language contemporary mythology.

  The Masked World

  The Masked World by Jack Williamson - The planet hid itself from the Earthmen—and what lay behind the mask was fierce and deadly! 
  The planet wore a mask. 
  At ten million miles, it was a sullen yellow eye. At one million, a scarred and evil leer. Outside the smoking circle our landing-jets had sterilized, it was a hideous veil of hairy black tentacles and huge sallow blooms, hiding the riddle of its sinister genes. 
  On most worlds that we astronauts have found, the life is vaguely like our own. Similar nucleotides are linked along similar helical chains of DNA, carrying similar genetic messages. A similar process replicates the chains when the cells divide, to carry the complex blue-prints for a particular root or eye or wing accurately down across ten thousand generations. 
  But even the genes were different here—enormously complicated. Here the simplest-seeming weed had more and longer chains of DNA than anything we had seen before. What was their message? 
  We had come to read it, with our new genetic micro-probe. A hundred precious tons of microscopic electronic gear, it was designed to observe and manipulate the smallest units of life. It could reach even those strange genes. 
  That was our mission. 
  Ours was the seventh survey ship to approach the planet. Six before us had been lost without trace. We were to find out why. 
  Our pilot was Lance Llandark. A lean hard man, silent and cold as the gray-cased micro-probe. We hated him—until someone learned why he had volunteered to come. 
  His wife had been pilot of the ship before us. When we knew that, we began to hear the hidden tension in his tired voice, monotonously calling on every band: "Come in, Six.... Come in Six...." 
  Six never came in.
