'There' says Alice Hayward to Reverend Stephen Drew, when she come up out of the water after her baptism. Just a few short hours later, Alice is dead, shot by her abusive husband who turned the gun on himself soon after. Tortured by the cryptic finality of that short utterance, Reverend Drew feels his faith in God slipping away as he tries to unearth the truth behind Alice's death. Only new arrival Heather Laurent -- the enigmatic author of wildly successful books about angels -- seems able to save him from slipping into the depths of despair. Heather has her own story. She survived a childhood that culminated in her own parents' murder-suicide, so she identifies deeply with Alice's daughter, Katie, offering herself as a mentor to the girl and a shoulder for Stephen. But then the state's attorney begins to suspect that Alice's husband may not have killed himself . . . and finds out that Alice had secrets only her minister knew. Related through the eyes of four different narrators, Secrets of Edenis both a haunting literary thriller and a deeply evocative testament to the inner complexities that mark all of our lives. Once again, Chris Bohjalian has given us a riveting page-turner in which nothing is precisely what it seems.

From the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Adrian Tchaikovsky, The Doors of Eden is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a page-turning adventure about parallel universes and the monsters that they hide. They thought we were safe. They were wrong. Four years ago, two girls went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor. Only one came back. Lee thought she'd lost Mal, but now she's miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has she been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn't gone unnoticed by MI5 officers either, and Lee isn't the only one with questions. Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor. Dr Khan's research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors crash open, anything could come through. "Tchaikovsky weaves a masterful tale... a suspenseful joyride through the multiverse." (Booklist)

The first two books in 'Eden's Angels', a series of science fiction novels by Gary Beene, now available in one volume! Alien Genesis: In 1954, Ensign James Cortell wakes up from a coma with memories of an alien scientist who had visited Earth some fifty thousand years ago. Earth’s extraterrestrial visitors altered Homo sapien DNA to produce modern humans and soon, the industrialist overlords among the alien race realized that genetically altered humans offered a source of cheap labor. A galactic slave trade is born. When a mutation begins causing gigantism among some of the sapiens, Dr. Kadeya and her grandson, Ramuell, travel to Earth in order to rectify the situation. As the scientific and industrialist factions of Earth's rulers clash, Kadeya and Ramuell are caught in the middle. But behind the scenes, an even greater power is at play. Alien Exodus: In their quest to seed the cosmos with sentience, alien scientists created the first modern humans by altering Homo sapiens’ DNA. However, the alien race’s noble intentions were derailed by greed and power lust, leading to the birth of a galactic slave trade and a war that spanned multiple worlds. In the midst of this chaos, the Nefilim Project staff were forced to adopt a shocking strategy to correct the flawed genetic manipulation. Failure was not an option, but were they prepared to pay the price of success?
