Special Agent Kim Riley is the first of her kind: the first woman to take the oath, the first woman to wear the letters, and the first woman to be dispatched on a missing persons case. Alone.

Three children, the report states, who all vanished from the picture-perfect mining town of Underwood, West Virginia on the same night. To Agent Riley, this is personal, and she’s eager to knock on doors, extract confessions, follow leads, and uncover the hidden truth. But once she starts pulling on Underwood’s threads, the entire case starts to unravel. Now she finds herself battling mountain sickness, memory lapses, and, worst of all, a displeased supervisor.

Will Special Agent Kim Riley find the missing children before her clock runs out? Or will she uncover secrets in Underwood that run deeper than coal…and thicker than blood?

Earth is a strange and alluring place.

There are those who visit it. Those who abandon it. And those who spend their entire lives trying to understand it.

Within these pages lies twenty curious tales that will take you on a journey through space, time, and reality. What do a seventeen-foot-tall traveler, a sinister government factory in the middle of nowhere, a hollow tree meant for monthly meetings, and a mysterious hotel with a spectral staff all have in common? Read on, brave adventurer, and perhaps you’ll find the answers.

The climate has changed.

Pollution has sterilized the human race. Few stragglers remain.

In the heart of America a mysterious woman escorts a young girl across the perilous Rocky Mountains. With danger lurking in every crag, the resentful duo must reach the other side...no matter what.

These paperbacks are no longer for sale, but the tales inside live on! Nine of these stories (plus eleven new ones) have been re-worked, remastered, and illustrated in my Destination Earth collection.
