  An odyssey wrapped in a love story, set in a near-future of artificial people
  		 
  The Sisters Sputnik are a time-traveling trio of storytellers-for-hire who are much in demand throughout the multiverse of 2,052 alternate worlds. Each world was created by the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Earth Standard Time, home of the Sisters’ leader, aging comic book creator Debbie Reynolds Biondi, her 20-something apprentice Unicorn Girl, and their pop culture–loving AI, Cassandra. Tales of Earth Standard Time-That-Was, from World Wars to the space race to Hollywood celebrities, have turned the Sisters into storytelling rock stars.
  		 
  In a distant reality where books and music have disappeared, Debbie finds herself in bed with an old Earth Standard Time lover who begs her to tell him a story. Over one long, eventful night, she spins the epic of the Sisters’ adventures in alternate realities, starting with the theft of a book of evil comic strips in a post-pandemic Toronto full of ghost kitchens and robot-worshipping lost children known as junksters, to a disco-era purgatory where synthetic people are sending humans into the past through a reverse-engineered Statue of Liberty, to a version of the 1950s where the Sisters meet a rising star named Frank Sinatra and his girlfriend, the once-and-future Queen of England.

  Being kidnapped by aliens and whisked away to another planet isn't always a bad thing . . . 
   
   
   
  Meg isn't like the other alien abduction survivors. She doesn't miss much of anything from her former life—least of all her deadbeat husband. Her Clecanian rescuers gave her a fresh start, and she plans to enjoy it. Being recognized as a mate is not on her agenda. Too bad a grumpy, possessive, and all-kinds-of-sexy alien has other plans for her . . . 
   
   
   
  Maxu never expected to find his fated mate. But he recognized Meg at first sight. Sadly, she's not as pleased with the match as he is. She's guarded in a way he doesn't entirely understand and pushes him away at every turn. 
   
   
   
  Meg can run, but she soon realizes there's nowhere to hide—not from a hunter like Maxu. But that doesn't mean she'll give in easily. If he wants a happily ever after with her, he'll have to fight for it. 
   
   
   
  Good thing he's not above playing dirty. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Some gatherings stay with you—not for what was shared, but for what was carefully left unsaid. This banquet glitters with politeness, warmth, and something colder beneath the surface. In the silence between the courses, sorrow sits dressed in holiday cheer. A festive tradition, unsettling by design.
