Summary

A grieving scientist, Lee, leads his team in the creation of an Artificial Intelligence modeled after his dead wife. When the AI experiences the sudden death of the elderly companion she was created for, she is unable to move on and starts to break down. Rather than risk losing her, Lee reboots her in an effort to erase her memory of losing her companion. In order to maintain their connection forged by the common experience of loss, Lee decides that the reboot will be done by erasing and replacing one memory at a time, each of which includes him. Driven by fear of loss, his grip on reality and ethics deteriorates when he is left with an insatiable desire to preserve her essential identity.

    A team of space archaeologists makes an astonishing discovery about an ancient alien race in this science fiction tale from "a master of his craft" (Los Angeles Times). 
    Graduate student Tom Rice is thrilled to embark on his first deep-space archeological expedition. He is part of a team from Earth, venturing out in search of artifacts from a civilization that ruled the universe many millennia ago. Called the High Ones, the members of this long-gone society left tantalizing clues about their history and culture scattered throughout space. One such clue, a "message cube" containing footage of the ancient ones, is more interesting than all of the others combined. It seems to indicate that the High Ones aren't extinct after all—and just like that, Tom Rice's archeological mission has become an intergalactic manhunt, one filled with ever-increasing danger that will send the explorers hurtling headlong into the greatest adventure—and peril—of their lives.

    Is it a gift if it has teeth? 
    Haley Campbell is caught in a snare: longing to run wild but terrified of her secret violent urges. When she finds her grandfather’s diary in the attic, she discovers her insatiable hunger is an inherited trait. The ancient frail man who used to chain-smoke in her parents’ living room is responsible for countless unsolved murders in the 1930s and -40s. 
    Fearful of following in his bloody footsteps—her birthright, after all—she travels to Wharton, a beachfront town, hoping to find the Alpha who may have a way of curing her hunger before someone else gets hurt. 
    Candy Bailey is feeling boxed-in: an unfulfilling relationship, a dead-end job, and a raging case of writer’s block. Something has to change. Then she meets Haley, a beautiful young woman on a mysterious quest. Candy is desperate to help her—if only to see her smile. 
    But when their relationship escalates into something more, Candy is thrust into a dangerous world she never knew existed. 
    Meanwhile, Alpha Angus Chilton and his human lover, Hunter Bailey, have built a quaint, beautiful life together in Wharton. The tumultuous events of the previous year are now just a distant nightmare. But when Haley makes her presence known, it may tear everything they built asunder.
