This is a story of mankind's treachery and the horrors of galactic war. You won't shed a tear for humanity. We don't deserve it.

The Grief Syndrome
In 2235, an immortal man, grieving over his wife's death, must put aside his sorrow long enough to rescue a woman from cryonic freeze and prevent an assassination.
Love is sorrow. Love is death. Everyone Scott Dunn ever loved is dead: his wife, his children, his grandchildren. Drowning in grief, he swears he'll never get close to anyone else, ever again. But a call for help sends him to Boulder, Colorado where he teams up with a woman and her pet ferret to thwart an assassination. It's a journey that will bring him face-to-face with his ultimate fear: losing someone he loves... again.
This is a story of healing, the letting go of sorrow, and the acceptance of loss. Be with someone you love for the nail-biting conclusion.
The 13th Power Journey
Ray Crawford, having failed to achieve fame, has formulated a new plan: reprogram the Supercomputers, build a bigger gravity chamber, and degenerate NASA's prototype Inter Space Station Transporter into the 13th Power. He will discover that fame carries a terrible price.
Just when Janis Mackey is settled into a peaceful life with Tracy in his new house, the CIA comes calling on him to help them steal the 13th Power. Of course, he refuses, until Tracy is arrested for treason and hauled off to a military stockade until Janis delivers the goods.
And Lisa has a new problem: her mother. Kate returns from prison. She's looking for forgiveness from a daughter she'd abandoned and a husband she'd betrayed.
In this stunning sequel to The 13th Power, humanity is at the mercy of technology, and a family's love for each other is put to a brutal test. You'd better have a tissue in hand at the end of this one.

Fermilabs and CERN are the biggest players in this race for the Higgs boson, named after Peter Higgs who first proposed its existence in1964 as a way to explain why atoms act the way they do. Since then, tens of billions of dollars have been spent to prove the Higgs exists, but to this day it remains elusive.
However, in California, there’s a smaller lab with an equally determined group of scientists in the hunt. Their motivations are as varied as the characters themselves. Whether it be love, money, power, or revenge that drives them, they have set the world on a course of impending destruction.
This is their story.
