Story
Eva is a survivor. She's not sure what she survived, exactly, only that They invaded without warning, killed nearly all of humanity and relentlessly attack everyone who's left. All she can do to stay sane, in the blockaded city that's no longer home, is keep a journal about her struggle. Fifty years later, Eva's words are found by Emerson, a young anthropologist sent to the ruins to study what happened. The discovery could shed light on the Invasion, turning the unyielding mystery of the short war into a story of hope and defiance.

Major Chenesai Okonkwo is an auditor for the Sub-Saharan Union. Her mission: to find out if the Sixth Expeditionary Force's newly discovered time gate has been compromised. Is the union's revolutionary discovery already doomed, 11 years in the future? But there is another, more personal mission. The possible murder of her husband remains unsolved. But are the two things connected? Can she navigate the world of aliens, spies, politics and time paradoxes to find the truth, and save her people's future?

Story
Belisarius is a quantum man, an engineered Homo quantus who fled the powerful insight of dangerously addictive quantum senses. He found a precarious balance as a con man, but when a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of warships across an enemy wormhole, he must embrace his birthright to even try. In fact, the job is so big that he'll need a crew built from all the new sub-branches of humanity. If he succeeds, he might trigger an interstellar war, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus evolution.

Story
Life can exist anywhere. And anywhere there is life, there is home. In the swirling clouds of Venus, the families of la colonie live on floating plant-like trawlers, salvaging what they can in the fierce acid rain and crackling storms. Outside is dangerous, but humankind's hold on the planet is fragile, and they spend most of their days simply surviving. But Venus carries its own secrets, too. In the depths, there is a wind that shouldn't exist. And the House of Styx wants to harness it.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Maria is, in no particular order: a concept artist at one of Canada's biggest videogame studios, the goddess of Mount Makiling in the Philippines and in love. And right now, being in love is her biggest problem.
Because when Maria falls in love, tragedy and death follow - and always have. For hundreds of years. If she wants to break the cycle, it's going to take everything a goddess, her newly-befriended, anime-obsessed demon-horse and Canadian national-treasure Margaret Atwood have to make it happen.
