  When Earth Reigned Supreme . . .  
   
   
   
  With the Milky Way galaxy engaged in a life-or-death struggle against the evil Sol-Kor Colony, Adam Cain and Riyad Tarazi are given the chance to end the war once and for all: Travel into another universe and assassinate the Queen of the Sol-Kor. If their mission succeeds, it could end the war with a single stroke, saving trillions upon trillions of innocent creatures from the ravenous, flesh-eating invaders. If not . . .  
   
   
   
  Even though the prospects are good for a surprise strike against the Queen, it's what happens afterwards that has the mission planners guessing. Yet regardless of their chances to make it back alive, the importance of the mission outweighs any personal considerations. This willingness for self-sacrifice is what creates heroes, so Adam and Riyad agree to lead a team of elite special forces into a strange universe they know very little about, and against the most-powerful being to ever exist. 
   
   
   
  Of course, that was before the Humans came along . . .  
   
   
   
  Needless to say, once the team makes the leap into the Sol-Kor universe, there's no rest for the wicked.

  Our extinction is inevitable. 
  Bill Bartles washes data. He cleans the lies and crap from new information before saving it with the rest of the knowledge on the Infinity Drive. 
  Bartles has it all: a captivating companion, an inner-city apartment mid-way up the tall-tower, and an imminent promotion. For him, life is great—except for his obsession with entropy and its promise that nothing lasts forever. 
  When he digs too deep into the forbidden archives of Aleph-1—the avant-garde CPU that controls the Infinity Drive—Bartles’ perfect life is shattered, plunging him into an unrecognizable world of blood-red wastelands, empty mega-cities, and receding oceans. A dangerous place inhabited by new apex predators, where the remnants of humanity struggle on the brink of extinction. 
  Now, locked in the fight of our lives against entropy, Bill Bartles must decide if saving the last of humanity is worth losing the Infinity Drive, and with it, all the knowledge of mankind … 
  In this stunning debut novel, McGinty brings us science-fiction at its best. Set against an ominous backdrop of desolation and decay, ENTROPY asks the question: with every trivial moment of our time here saved to file, can the human condition continue long after we’re gone?

  When a man came into my shop in the Great Marketplace at the Crossroads of the Worlds and tried to kill me, it completely ruined my day. Not only did I have to clean up the blood, but disposing of his body made me late to meet my friends for drinks. 
   
   
   
  A nagging little detail kept bugging me, though. As he died, he said he was hired by my mother's family—people I hadn't seen for more than a decade. Then I discovered that assassins had made attempts on my brother and sister as well. As much as I didn't want to, I decided I should find out who wanted us dead, and put a stop to it.
