For a century, Humanity has lived in a fragile “balance” with the all-powerful sentient AI, Heimer, a precarious peace enforced by the iron fist of the Ensemble Accords. But when a routine deep-space probe intercepts an impossible signal, it reveals the ultimate prize, a colossal, artificial construct known only as Stapledon Station. Now, the UN ship Kia-Kaha has made arduous journey across the vast vacuum of space, carrying Humanity’s finest minds and most guarded secrets. Among them is Xenoarchaeologist Clio Cormack, a brilliant but impulsive scientist with a history of pushing boundaries.

In Radiation Hazard, Kaem and company are commercially developing “stade”, a piece of space-time that’s in stasis. Its phenomenal properties allow it to reflect all radiation, so when a nearby nuclear reactor undergoes a meltdown, the first thought is that stade might be used to limit the radioactivity from the accident. In Halting the Reaper, Kaem has been treated with gene therapy for the anemias that have made him so weak. In combination with his extraordinary memory, his newfound physical fitness is letting him perform at a high level in a karate class.

Telekinetic is the first of a series of post-apocalyptic stories featuring the Hyllis family. The collapse of civilization has reduced their people back to iron and horsepower. The Hyllises tend to inherit “tele-talents” such as telekinesis and teleportation. Tarc Hyllis’ mother (and his grandfather before her) could “feel” things with their talent. Tarc’s father can “push” objects with his mind. Then some strangers show up to scout the town where the Hyllises live. Could Tarc’s powers, weak as they are, play a role in resisting this invasion?

This hard sci-fi novel is the first book of the Time-Flow Stories, a series of tales about Witt Ryllin, a young man who abruptly gains the ability to psychically control the flow of time. He sets to work, figuring out how to use his new gift to help his family and perhaps even improve his college prospects. This is far from as easy as he’d first hoped. Through all this he must deal with his sarcastic friend Jesse. A friend who’s sometimes helpful, but at least as often a big part of the problem. Oh, and Witt’s got girl trouble!
