Eila, Eve, Abbie, and their small band of allies find themselves on the run again. Fleeing North from the all-but-ruined Waldron’s Gate, they are on a quest to carry the precious core of the Blunderbuss to safety. But they are not alone. Pursued by a creature calling itself Leviathan, as well as by operatives from Waldron’s Gate, and soldiers from Stensue, this rag-tag band has to draw on all of their collective courage and skills at each step of the journey. As the rebels press on, Juliette journeys to Athenia in a desperate gambit for allies and worldwide consensus on confronting the coming crisis. But has she overplayed her hand? Their treacherous odyssey takes Eila and her friends through the lands of Thesic and Aerohead on their way to their ultimate destination: The Celestial Gate. The Pandora Core, book four in The Dream Engine Series, ratchets the tension up to eleven, turning the careful world of Alterra and its foes beyond inside out.

Author of the acclaimed work Iceberg Risk: An Adventure in Portfolio Theory, Kent Osband argues that uncertainty is central rather than marginal to finance. Markets don't trade mainly on changes in risk. They trade on changes in beliefs about risk, and in the process, markets unite, stretch, and occasionally defy beliefs. Recognizing this truth would make a world of difference in investing. Belittling uncertainty has created a rift between financial theory and practice and within finance theory itself, misguiding regulation and stoking huge financial imbalances. Sparking a revolution in the mindset of the investment professional, Osband recasts the market as a learning machine rather than a knowledge machine. The market continually errs, corrects itself, and makes new errors. Respecting that process, without idolizing it, will promote wiser investment, trading, and regulation. With uncertainty embedded at its core, Osband's rational approach points to a finance theory worthy of twenty-first-century investing.

Hell waits for one man. There have always been rumors about the dead place in the city of Fortune: a vast circle where nothing grows known as Suicide Flats. It’s a place where people go to die. Where dark shadows emerge at night, denied by the government that pretends it has no presence in Fortune. Where you can feel the pull of something not-quite-right, drawing lost souls to once-beautiful Cecret Lake at its center — a lake that one day eight years ago turned black as ink. Officially, Fortune is an anomaly. Yet scientist Eldon Porter knows what the secretive agency GEN knows but hasn’t divulged to the public: Suicide Flats is a thin spot between our plane of existence and another. That other plane is a realm of heat and sulfur — a place without an official name, though even the scientists call it by its unofficial one: Hell. Minister Callum MacReady has run out of faith. His son is dying, and every week he stands in front of his congregation and tells them lies so that they — not he — can feel better. He tells the people of Fortune that God has a plan. That life is joyous. But as young Nathan worsens, Callum knows the truth: There is no plan. There is only grief and pain. But one day, when Callum finds himself in Suicide Flats at the shore of the ochre lake, he suddenly finds that he feels no pain at all. His worst thoughts and feelings have inexplicably left him … siphoned away, it seems, by a hungry and malevolent being waiting on the other side of a rift between worlds — a rift that’s been lurking beneath Cecret’s black water for centuries, just waiting for a reason to open. As Hell opens wide and demons rise, Eldon and Callum find themselves in a race against time. Fortune is the world’s canary … but soon enough, under the onslaught of unholy creatures, Fortune is destined to fall. Suicide Flats is a stand-alone novel in the world of Gore Point by artisan author Johnny B. Truant: a terrifying and unsettlingly beautiful ride into the mouth of chaos.

All’s quiet where Hell remains. Months after the sundering that nearly collapsed our world into the demon plane, the city of Fortune has become unnervingly normal. Rifts no longer open. Fiends no longer cross over. The few that remain are captives, including their king: a mammoth horned beast known as “the dreadnought.” The city is far too calm, as if waiting for a terrible shoe to drop. The only Hell left lives inside Adrian Porter’s dreams, stirred by the nearby dreadnought. Each night, Adrian sees his captured girlfriend Laurel tortured in flame. For once, his brother Ray is the sensible one. As Adrian battles guilt and regret, life must go on. But Adrian’s dreams aren’t just dreams. They’re messages: Laurel calling from her infernal prison. The planes have begun to shift again, and the military fears an attack as the next gambit in humanity’s longest con takes shape. Desperate to uncover the truth, Earthside forces recruit Adrian and Ray to lead a covert expedition into Hell itself. But what awaits them on the other side is a twisted reflection of their own world: plots and schemes, a resistance, a tyrannical leader in a war for control. With each revelation, the true scope of the fiends’ plan comes into focus … and Adrian realizes the only way to ensure humanity's survival may be to make an unthinkable sacrifice. In this epic tale of honor, obsession, and the blurred lines between good and evil, the Porter brothers must decide how far they’re willing to go to save both worlds from annihilation. Brace yourself for a mind-bending journey where nothing is as it seems — and the only certainty is that when the final battle begins, existence itself will tremble.

With both Fleet and Flock in turmoil and conditions at the Ministry of Manifestation coming undone, Eila, Cora, and their small band of allies find themselves on the run, seeking a mysterious object that has the power to unravel all of Alterra. Cracks in Parliament's carefully constructed lie are beginning to show at the seams, meanwhile, as Decorum attempts to fight the slow bleed of chaos: citizens losing their minds as Crumble's pacification fails, doorways opening to other worlds, leagues of spies trying to hide the truth. After failing to recover Eve's prize at the Convenience and finding Pavilion all but inaccessible, the troupe's options become limited. Bigger players have entered the game, and even those who knew Alterra's true path have found themselves empty-handed -- tricked by higher powers. Eila's only hope is to regain control of the missing engine core, but she must use another talisman to find it. And as Eila soon finds, there are plans within plans, and only one set of hands (hands closer to Eila than she's ever realized) is able to pull all of the levers. ★★★★★ "MORE...WE WANT MORE!!! This should be another of your ongoing series! This whole series proves just how diversified the authors are and how they can not just write but create anything!" -- Greg Lambert ★★★★★ "I love the Dream Engine Books. The 3rd book in the series so far, it's fast-paced, surprising and exciting, and we learn more about not just Alterra, but other places in Terra and their Engines. It's one of my favorite YA novels, and one of my favorite fantasy/steampunk universes." -- JeanDiFalco
