Summary

YOU STILL DON'T KNOW JACK.  It's the late 1960s and Jack Dewitt is going to high school.  He doesn't like sports and he has this "pimple situation." He's a brain, a nerd a bookworm, but maybe he can have some fun. Maybe he can fall in love and get his heart broken. Someone murdered his friend's dad. Maybe he can find out who.  It's the best of times. It's the worst of times. It's Motown and the Beatles, Martin Luther Kind, and Malcolm X. Draft cards on fire. Pot and acid. Assassinations and hippies. "LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" It's napalm and Nixon and body bags and the Summer of Love.  Jack is young. Know what that means? It means everything is INTENSE.

    What if happiness isn’t something we find in adulthood—but something we remember from childhood? 
    Origin tells the story of Zorogigi Zoranza, a girl growing up in the wind-shaped island of Catanduanes, Philippines. In a yard alive with animals, storms, and imagination, she builds “fortresses” that shape her emotional intelligence, creativity, and future purpose. 
    The story reveals how Zorogigi’s childhood wonder became a lifelong mission to help children reclaim their imagination. A lyrical, magical-realism tale about family, resilience, and the places that shape us, Origin reminds us that happiness is going back to where it all began.

    An “intricately plotted” space opera “ups the already sky-high stakes,” of this sci-fi series and fans “will not be disappointed” (Publishers Weekly).   The Universe is nursing a morning-after hangover.   That’s how ex-freedom-fighter Lem Benzaran feels. Exiled after going AWOL to save her world, she lives in a changed galaxy in the aftermath of a purge that wiped entire planets clean of people like herself. A vague prophecy plagues her isolation: she’s destined to cause the Universe’s heat death.   Jei Bereens is one of Lem’s only contacts with her old life. Once his command team’s golden boy, Jei’s now under constant surveillance as a distrusted super-weapon. Worse, amidst waves of withdrawal from his lost love’s nerve pheromone, Jei’s struggling to break free of the childhood rival who’s learned to use that vulnerability to trap him in his mind.   That rival, Jared Diebol, now holds almost every card he needs to take full control of the forces bent on homogenizing the galaxy. Driven to desperation by Lem and Jei, Diebol’s created a mind-control device that may finally turn Jei into the world-destroying machine he needs to end this war. If Lem tries to stop him, Diebol vows to kill her at Jei’s hand.   Between Jei’s struggle for freedom, Lem’s desperation to escape her destiny, and Diebol’s hunt for control—someone has to give, and someone has to die.
