Publisher's summary
Ben Davenport is a Pulitzer-nominated journalist on a mission. He’s investigating UFO expert Daniel Byrne, who teaches his followers how to commune with extraterrestrials. A local TV station reporter obsessed with UFO sightings in the area, is found dead near Byrne’s Montana ranch, thus deepening Ben’s interest in the story. Ben knows a ruse when he sees one, but when he experiences an inexplicable event firsthand, he’s forced to reevaluate his understanding of reality. At the insistence of the deceased reporter’s niece, Ben investigates what he thinks is a clandestine government plot and plunges headfirst into a conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Will he use his journalist skills to unveil the truth, or will he succumb to delusion or possibly more menacing forces?

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that.

And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.
