  At his desk one day, prominent Washington commentator Adam Zweig receives a text message. "Btw want to give you a heads-up abt some breaking news," it reads. "Call soonest." These are the early rumblings of an eventual media storm generated by small-town reporter Valerie Iovine, who has gone public with her account of sexual harassment at the hands of esteemed editor and liberal icon Max Lieberthol. Twenty years have passed since the incident, and though Adam wasn't directly involved, he quickly finds himself implicated and entangled, his career under imminent threat. 
   
  Adam has never forgotten his history with Valerie: as former colleagues, their workplace collaboration had gradually tipped into a mutual romantic attraction. Or so he believed. Confronted by the claims against his former boss and a growing awareness of rampant sexism in his industry, Adam, who had always thought of himself as progressive, is forced to challenge his own assumptions over the years. What once seemed incidental becomes sinister; what once seemed like a blundering encounter helped derail a young woman's promising career. 
   
  Sly and ironic, A Hole in the Story explores one imperfect man's dilemmas as he tries to keep his feet in a shifting moral landscape.

  Something is wrong beneath the skin. 
  Clara is a mortuary makeup artist—someone who understands the language of the dead better than the living. Skin, temperature, texture… these things don’t lie. 
  So when her husband begins to change, she notices. 
  He doesn’t sweat. 
  His body temperature stays too stable. 
  His reactions come a fraction too late. 
  At first, it could be stress. Fatigue. Or worse—her diagnosis: Capgras syndrome, a condition that makes her believe loved ones have been replaced by perfect impostors. 
  But Clara doesn’t trust her mind. 
  She trusts her hands. 
  As the anomalies spread beyond her husband to the entire neighborhood, Clara begins a series of increasingly disturbing tests—cutting, burning, observing—searching for one undeniable truth: 
  Is she losing her grip on reality… 
  Or is something beneath the skin learning how to imitate being human? 
  Subcutaneous is a slow-burn psychological thriller infused with body horror and speculative tension—perfect for readers who enjoy unsettling domestic suspense, identity horror, and chilling explorations of perception versus reality.

  Rome, 58 AD. The dinner party didn’t turn out the way Aemilius Valerius expected. He didn’t expect a place at the main table. He didn’t expect to drink that much. He didn’t expect to hook up with one of the scarier dancers. And he most certainly didn’t expect to trip over the bloody corpse of his host on the floor of the informal dining room. One man’s grisly murder is another man’s opportunity. Valerius teams up with the investigator, a plebeian with a chip on his shoulder, to discover the killer. Mad Uncle Maro promised it would be a smart career move, but that was before a second senator turned up dead. Now everything points towards a corrupt legion, an imperial assassin, and the emperor’s mother. It might have been smarter to accept that honorary priesthood, stupid hat or not.

  When a nuclear missile launched by a rogue North Korean faction explodes in space, the resulting shock wave destroys most of the world's satellites and all global communication. US military satellites, designed to withstand such an assault, reveal two more missiles on launch pads in North Korea, ready to be deployed. Faced with the threat of a thermonuclear attack, the United States has only one possible defense: Able One. 
  Able One, or ABL-1, is a modified 747 fitted with a high powered laser able to knock out missiles in flight. But both the laser's technology and the jet's crew are untested. What was originally a training flight with a skeleton crew turns into a desperate race to destroy the two remaining nukes. Will Able One's experimental technology be enough to prevent World War III—especially when it becomes clear that a saboteur is on board? 
  Able Oneis a timely thrill-ride by one of science fiction's most respected novelists.
