The Falling Moon
The Moon is falling. As evacuation, lunar engineering and political fear pull humanity apart, five people must decide what survival should mean.
The Moon has stopped falling. The danger has not. As 623 lunar drivers hold the Moon's orbit, a monitoring analyst discovers that safety has a price — and contracts decide who gets warned.
Kindred is already underway when a transmission arrives from the star it is trying to reach. Venture got there first — and its message may be a warning, or a request not to come.
Daniel can hold back his wife's cancer. But each treatment reaches into Ellie's memories—and the records of the life she wants to keep begin to disagree.
In Axiom City, the upper tiers live lightly while workers below bear the load. Dax Arden must confront the gravity system he helped build—and the people paying its price.
A standalone science-fiction novel of first contact, difficult repairs, ordinary humor, and the unexpected intimacy of working beside someone you may never fully understand.
Forced to confess the three bearers it erased from its own history, the sword faces revenge, corrupted justice — and a humble carter's costly kindness.
After failing to save the emperor it loves, the sword returns to its maker for a final reforging — one that tests whether it can care without taking or controlling.
