Chase has lost his fortune. Chase and Wen have lost each other. The world may have just lost its last chance. What's left to lose? Everything! To find the way out, you must first get lost.

Escaping was the easy part. Other than the high body count, the massive explosions, and the fortune lost, it was a piece of cake. Chase and Wen face their biggest challenge yet as everything closes in on them. Can they unravel the mystery and stop a horrendous calamity before they die, a promised slow and painful death?

Shane Collins and Lucas Maddox are the last two US Marshals after a global cataclysm that destroyed most of modern civilization.

Then again, neither was the Apocalypse.

These stories attest to the generous compass of Thomas McGuane's fellow feeling, as well as to his unique way with words. In this collection, filled with grace and humor, the ties of family make for uncomfortable binds: A devoted son is horrified to discover his mother's antics before she slipped into dementia, and a father's outdoor skills are no match for a change in the weather. But complications arise equally in the absence of blood, as when lifelong friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike for each other.

Caught in a web of deceit, a fugitive billionaire and a former spy must find the truth before it finds them.

With no one left to trust and nowhere to go, Chase and Wen are forced to rely on their enemies to save them.

Twenty-four hours ago, Chase and Wen, a fugitive billionaire and a former spy, thought they still had time. They believed that millions wouldn’t die; they hoped a war wouldn’t come.

This data complex backs up and protects our most vital information against decay and destruction, and yet it binds us to corporate and government institutions whose power is also preserved in its bunkers, infrastructures, and sterilized spaces.

In a story that will blow your mind, a fugitive billionaire and a former spy must stop an insidious plot to control the population through high-tech mind reading. Chase and Wen are trapped in a maze of illusion, reality, and secrets, as they struggle to overcome an enemy so powerful, their very own thoughts are used against them.

Ollie was gravely underchallenged and also struggling with identity and how to live totally as themselves. Ollie begged to switch to a new school with "kids like me," and so they made the change. Raising Ollie is dad Tom Rademacher's story of parenting Ollie and relearning every day what it means to be a father and teacher. As Ollie—who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns—flourishes in their new school, Rademacher is making an eye-opening adjustment to a new school of his own, one that's whiter and more suburban than anywhere he has previously taught.

A fugitive billionaire and a former spy stumble onto an ominous program where everything about our modern lives is dissected, processed, and packaged. It's not to sell us things, but to sell us ideas; to control us, to make sure we don’t shatter the illusion.

With cell phones down, planes falling out of the sky, and cities in total darkness, there may not be enough time to prevent the end of the world, as we know it. When everything is down, it’s a long way up.
