Time is up. Earth is collapsing. Eight billion people will die. Bridgers Infinity and Desmond have one last chance to save Earth's last refugees. But it's a one-way trip to a world of terror.

Annihilation has a way of following bridgers Infinity and Desmond. Sworn to protect the last of humanity, they find themselves in a cruel game, a trial to decide humankind's worth.

Earth is dead. Infinity and Desmond bridge with a small group of migrants to a new world, expecting peace. Deceived, they find the resident sentient beings not so benign. This world isn't safe.

Binary Existence finds Skyra and Lincoln 47,000 years in the past. For Skyra, it's home. For Lincoln and his team, it's fraught with menace-a land of claws, teeth, and stone weapons.

How far would you go to save the human species?Heart to blood, muscle to bone, tourist flesh above my own. It''s the bridgers'' directive: risk your own life to save tourists bridging to alternate worlds.

Gentleman naturalist Samuel Inwood is fulfilling his dream of exploring Dutch New Guinea when things go horribly wrong.
