Hitchcock meets Serling in this deadly game of cat-and-mouse between a young couple and alien races from a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. After engaging in bloody warfare against each other, two alien races—the Greens and the Grays—take refuge on Earth, both believing their home and their enemy destroyed. For seventy-five years, they have been passing as humans, living peacefully—until each side discovers the other has survived. Now, in order to avoid another destructive conflict, these extraterrestrial rivals have united and agreed that a sacrifice must be made . . . On a dark and cold October night in Manhattan’s Riverside Park, a strange ceremony is about to begin. The group is focused on a young girl who is ready to do what she must for peace, but the ritual comes to an abrupt halt when the child is mysteriously kidnapped. Meanwhile, after four years of marriage, Roger and Caroline Whittier struggle to get through a day without fighting. Their bickering is interrupted when a bizarre mugger leaves them with a little girl named Melantha. While they disagree on most matters, they both know they must protect Melantha. Unfortunately, they have no idea who is looking for their foundling or the lengths they will go to get her back. Now, the chase is on . . . “[Timothy] Zahn has lots of surprises up his sleeve, and the ability to make the strange sound real.” —Statesman Journal “Compelling . . . One nice touch in this highly enjoyable hybrid of SF and mystery is that at no point does any one character know exactly what’s going on.” —Publishers Weekly

A “sizzling scorcher . . . Full of surprises” from the author of the Georgia Skeehan thrillers Flashover and The Fourth Angel (Cosmopolitan). After a fire kills two of New York’s bravest, New York City Fire Department marshal Georgia Skeehan is forced to collaborate with an FBI informant—a slick, vicious arsonist-for-hire known as “the Freezer.” As Georgia is drawn deep undercover, the truth brings her face to face with the one person from her past she doesn’t know she can betray. Torn between loyalty and her own desire for vengeance, Georgia will be forced to get closer to a killer than she’s ever had to before. Close enough to burn.

Why does a man, haunted by a profoundly intimate encounter with an alien intelligence, troubled by a traumatic past, and stalked by a potentially devastating addiction accept an impossible mission to save humanity from certain annihilation? Because he is Aiden Macallan, commander of the Sun Wolf, and those afflictions make him the only person alive who can do the job. It’s 2218 and the enigmatic voidoids that enabled humanity’s fifty-year expansion into Bound Space, are fading out of existence. No one knows why, or who’s behind it, but one thing is certain: if the voidoids shut down, not only will humanity be locked out of Bound Space forever, but it will unleash a cosmological catastrophe of runaway dark energy that tears our universe apart—from atoms to stars. It will happen soon and happen fast, unless Aiden and his hand-picked crew of the Sun Wolf can stop it. But as they set course for the Frontier in search for answers, someone is trying to stop them, following from the shadows, attacking at every step of the way. Now, in a race against time and malevolent forces, light-years from home, the Sun Wolf is humanity’s only hope for survival.

At the end of the first book, A Princess of Mars, John Carter is unwillingly transported back to Earth. The Gods of Mars begins with his arrival back on Barsoom (Mars) after a ten-year separation from his wife Dejah Thoris, his unborn child, and the Red Martian people of the nation of Helium, whom he has adopted as his own. Unfortunately, Carter materializes in the one place on Barsoom from which nobody is allowed to depart: the Valley Dor, which is the Barsoomian afterlife.
