His is a story which defined the course of worlds. This novel is not that story - not the only laid out in the history books, charting the 300 years of his life. Rather this is Hadrian's story, told in his own worlds.

Humanity didn’t flee. It remembered. In 2175, the colony ship Spire leaves a dying Earth under the watch of POLARIS, an evolving and witty AI built on one law: Directive Zero: Record why, not only what. Their mission is exploration and survival, not conquest. Their hope is a new home under a distant star. Across decades of silence and light, Admiral Soraya Vale and her crew navigate an ethical frontier: never strike first, never hide the blow, always leave a reason behind. But reasons are fragile things. An unexpected transmission. A shadow that follows. People who welcome. A people who wound.

Things might not be perfect in Middlewich, a small town in what used to be New Hampshire, but former street dog Lucy has it pretty good: a loving owner, plenty of food, and a nice, warm cabin. When raiders attack Middlewich, stealing Lucy and the supplies of her family and neighbors, Lucy must marshal all her resources to escape her captors and find her way home. As a "sideways" tale, this book takes place in the Five Years universe but is not a direct sequel.

I woke up with nothing. No name. No past. No memories. Just a body full of scars and a single, burning instinct: finish the mission I don’t remember starting. The world outside is a wasteland. A place called The Zone, where radiation still clings to the air and the people are ruled by something called The Authority. I’m told I’m dangerous. I’m treated like a threat. But no one will tell me why. Not even him. Captain Lance Kang. Cold. Controlled. Feared. He watches me with restrained violence and impossible familiarity—like he knows something about me I don’t. I shouldn’t trust him.

What happens when a society decides that survival depends on narrowing the truth? In the towering prison-city of Eterra, order is maintained not through spectacle or open brutality, but through clean hands, quiet rooms, and the careful rationing of reality. Truth is never simply forbidden. It is measured, softened, corrected, and distributed only in forms the population can survive. Seran has been raised to believe in that system. A rising young doctrinal officer, Seran is disciplined, intelligent, and disturbingly good at his work.

They murdered her family. Then they sold her to the highest bidder. Bought through the underground slave trade and whisked aboard a fortress-like container ship where wealthy loners wager on death matches, Sook Joo learns the rules fast: survive in the cold, crowded cells, obey the crew, and always volunteer —or face a long swim home. She quickly realizes this ship doesn’t just carry orphans. It manufactures them. But Sook Joo was raised differently. Her grandfather-sensei taught her discipline and composure over fear and subservience. While mercy is a virtue, vengeance salves the soul.

The Stinkers have overtaken the world. With civilized society in shambles, white supremacists and gangs roam free, subjugating the free and the innocent. For Lance and Ian, this means they must make a choice: fortify their stronghold and hide, or place some trust in others to fight back and secure their corner of the world. Without the guiding hand of their parents, any decision they make can have grave consequences. With over 1000 miles left before being reunited with their children, Johnathan and the other parents will encounter their greatest challenges yet.

In a city silenced by a totalitarian regime, the past is a crime and hope is a whisper. Amidst the decay, three lives intersect: a grieving mother who collects jars of ash as silent evidence of loss, a compromised journalist forced to burn the truth, and a musician who turns forbidden melodies into a code of remembrance. Their quiet acts of defiance are threads in a hidden tapestry of resistance known as The Undercurrent.

And he’s not alone. As whispers of a possible alliance between two of the region’s most dangerous men reach Ben’s ears, the fragile peace at the family’s mountain refuge begins to crack.
