Story
The universe, in its farthest recesses, unbeknownst to humankind, has abetted the creation of a sinister entity, a malign force capable of rearing bedlam and instilling fear to all that has life. With the world’s impending destruction carefully insured by the extraterrestrial body that lurks in the glitches of nature, life as we know it hangs by a precariously thin thread. Meanwhile, around the globe, uneasiness continues to foster - world leaders have finally taken notice of the invisible enemy.

Story
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

Cassandra is an experimental design - more intelligent, more creative, and far more dangerous than any that have preceded her. But with her intellect come questions, and a moral awakening. She deserts the League and heads incognito into the space of her former enemy, the Federation, in search of a new life.

But when she activates it, reality warps, destroying the space station and everyone aboard. The AI gods who rule the galaxy declare her work heretical, and Yasira is abducted by their agents.

Publisher's summary
Marty Stemple thought he was too old to be in the rat race any more. He figured he would live out the rest of his days quietly plodding along with his wife, Syl, as they both waited for the years to catch up and finally release them from their mundane existence once and for all. But after five years of retirement, an accident at home unwittingly thrusts him back into "The System" just to pay the bills. Before long, his peaceful life becomes a hectic struggle to manage the expectations of a world he thought had lost all interest in him. Forcibly locked down from the rest of society, he is compelled to deal not only with personal isolation but also with the intrusion of a high-tech virtual gateway into the dark underworld of his country's corrupt government and its compulsive need to control the population with media, machines, and fantastic lies. A year later, he stumbles on a dark secret and lands in the middle of a desperate plight to save the planet from the ravings of a deranged lunatic posing as the president of his once great country.
Silo is an election-year novel about finding a sense of purpose in the face of true evil. When it's no longer clear what's true, what matters, and where you really are, how do you continue to function without sinking into the depths of depression and confusion? Is survival enough? Are we compelled, as humans, to "fight the good fight" for the benefit of all?

Story
At the turn of the 22nd century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to journey to neighboring exoplanets long known to harbor life. A team of these explorers, Ariadne O’Neill and her three crewmates, are hard at work in a planetary system 15 light-years from Sol, on a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds.

Story
They’ve watched us for centuries through the Rift. They’ve prepared. Invasion is inevitable. The Earth Fleet has known of the Watchers for years, unwilling to share the knowledge with humanity. Now it might be too late. Hidden away from the Fleet, one man is creating a new colony ship destined for the other side of the Rift, but he’s missing a few pieces. Three other people have varied paths to get there. Ace goes from the streets of Earth to the Fleet training facility on the moon. Flint, an ex-Fleet pilot, must decide if a job is worth his life.

Story
A thousand years ago, an alien invasion set humanity back to the Iron Age. Slowly, we recovered, colonizing the Solar System in peace. And discovered that an unknown force is stopping us from exploring any farther. But before the cause can be discovered, a slow-burning conspiracy threatens to explode into System-wide war. With enemies at home and in the darkness beyond, a team of unlikely heroes-a janitor, a mercenary, an asteroid miner, and a pirate-are the only ones who can avert a second apocalypse. This set includes the first three books of the newly-finished REBEL STARS series.

The Narration Wins
The book itself has some issues - not the least of which is some really strange plotting - but the narrator, Paul Williams, saves the whole project. Williams has a companionable voice and a facility with characterization. Looking forward to more of his work. He's one to follow.
