Story
Every night for the past four months, I've dreamed of being chosen for the trip to Calbora. The others have grown comfortable in the safety of the station's bunks, praying their names won't be called. Not me. Every day since we got here, I've looked up and wondered. Not anymore. No one can know the real reason it matters so much, but one way or another...I'm getting on that ship.

Rapid colonization of the moon is pushing both national space agencies and powerful corporations to negotiate a New Lunar Accord in an effort to prevent escalating conflicts over valuable resources and territory. But hope that this treaty will bring stability to the nascent lunar civilization is suddenly dashed when a high-energy solar storm causes a cascade of destruction to the vast satellite constellations that orbit Earth. Now it’s only a matter of weeks before the ever-increasing debris cloud makes travel back to the home planet impossible.

Story
When expert Navy linguist and cryptographer Charlie Cutter is recruited into a shadowy wing of the NCIS, she's tasked with unraveling a mysterious ancient text that has puzzled researchers for centuries. Charlie isn't eager to revisit her previous failures... but when she discovers the same strange language in top-secret photographs, she finds herself roped into a job that could make or break her young career.
Publisher's Summary
Time is the tonic. So why wait?
Time travel doesn't exist.
Sure, it would be great if it did. It would be great if the hype wasn't all bluster.
With huge funding behind them, ChronoTonic claims to have achieved the impossible. The corporation is pushing its new machine — a time machine — as the solution to Earth's problems.
I'm just not buying it.
They want to buzz forward in time, pick up a few technological advancements, and buzz back to apply them in the here and now. They say we can save lives and reduce suffering by learning the lessons of the future — today.
The same corporate overlords that got us into these problems are apparently going to get us out of them. Yeah... I'll believe that when I see it.
I think it's all empty hype.
And if it's not, I sure as hell don't trust ChronoTonic to use this technology as altruistically as they claim.
After years of hype, today is the day when they will finally reveal the machine.
I have media clearance to be in the audience, but I have bigger plans than that.
Once I get inside ChronoTonic HQ, I'm not sitting in the crowd.
No. That's not what investigative journalists do.
I'm stepping in with one goal in mind:
Wherever or whenever the truth is hiding... I'm going to find it.
