  Inspired by the remarkable life of Dorothy Peto, the Metropolitan Police’s first female superintendent. 
   
  In 1914, the idea of a female police officer is dismissed as absurd, but to a small group of determined women, not impossible. 
   
  With men departing to fight for king and country, women have new opportunities at home. Dorothy Peto and her fellow suffragettes propose forming the Women’s Police Volunteers to assist police keep order. At first, the suggestion is derided, yet the force is stretched thin. As Dorothy and her friends train and organize to help refugees fleeing the war and guide terrorized Londoners to shelter during the Zeppelin raids, the "ladies in blue" gain a grudging acceptance. 
   
  During one nightly bombing raid, Dorothy discovers the body of a beautiful, Belgian refugee in Seven Dials. Convinced the woman was murdered before the bombs fell, Dorothy’s determined to investigate even though the battle-scarred Scotland Yard Inspector remains skeptical of her ideas and enthusiasm. As the list of suspects grows—a British aristocrat, a Belgian gangster and a wealthy German industrialist—Dorothy must outwit the killer, and even some within the WPV.

  A war-hardened general. A pacifist disguise. A lethal game of cat-and-mouse in the heart of England. 
  Recalled from the blood-soaked trenches of the Somme, Brigadier General Richard Hannay expects to be sent to another brutal front line. Instead, British Intelligence hands him a mission that turns his stomach: shed his uniform, adopt the name Cornelius Brand, and plunge into the eccentric, pacifist underworld of the English garden cities as a sympathetic South African engineer. 
  His target? The mastermind behind a devastating leak of military secrets, a man whose webs reach into the highest echelons of society and the darkest corners of industrial unrest. Guided by the enchanting and enigmatic Mary Lamington and his old American friend John S. Blenkiron, Hannay must navigate a labyrinth of intellectual anarchists, radical labor agitators, and ruthless double agents. 
  Mr. Standfast is a masterful wartime thriller of espionage and deception. As the enemy prepares a massive offensive that could shatter the world, Hannay races against time—and his own fraying temper—to expose a villain whose greatest weapon is his complete lack of a true face. Will his cover hold long enough to save the Allies, or will the double-bluff be his undoing?

  Bestselling and acclaimed authors Rob Hart and Alex Segura join forces on Dark Space, a sweeping sci-fi spy thriller that blends the epic scope and character-driven spark of Star Trek with the intrigue of John le Carré’s Smiley novels. 
  If life were fair, ace pilot Jose Carriles should have ended up a desk jockey like his former friend Corin Timony, back on the lunar colony of New Destiny. Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system. 
  Timony should have been the best spy at the Bazaar, the lunar colony’s international intelligence arm. Instead, she’s been demoted to admin duties like monitoring long-range communications. She has no one to blame but herself—and maybe Carriles. 
  But when the Mosaic experiences a series of strange malfunctions and Carriles is forced to take a wild gamble to save the ship, he begins to suspect the reasons behind the exploratory mission weren’t exactly on the up-and-up. 
  At the same time, Timony’s old instincts kick in as she realizes the distress call she received from the Mosaic has been wiped without a trace. 
  As people start to end up dead and loyalties are tested, Timony and Carriles find themselves entangled in a star-spanning conspiracy that drags them through the darkest corners of their government—and their own personal failures—and face-to-face with a reckoning that could destroy humanity as we know it.
