Adapt or perish.

Trisha Walker thought the worst was behind her. Failed marriage. Her daughter’s health problems. The sudden move to Nairobi.

She thought wrong. Nothing can prepare her for the greatest transition yet: an alien invasion.

While the world crumbles under the fear of an approaching extraterrestrial armada, Trisha reluctantly plays host to a soldier, a thief, and an explosive secret. Things are getting dangerous, and that’s before the aliens land.

There’s one sliver of hope — a rumored safe place hidden atop a distant mountain. It’s a risky option, especially when a crime lord with a mysterious past comes searching for her stolen artifact of alien origin.

As wildlife, criminals, and aliens run rampant through Nairobi, Trisha is sure of only three things. Home isn’t safe. Peace is not an option. And she’ll do anything to protect her daughter.

But first, she’ll have to adjust to a world ruled by a new apex predator — humanity’s replacement.

Transition is the first book in the Avery Blake and Vered Ehsani series The Next Evolution. Discover your new favorite SciFi series today!

AN EPIC TALE SPANNING CIVILIZATIONS AND CENTURIES.

When the colonists of Andromeda first discovered the relics, long before Anka was born, humanity was plunged into chaos.

Now Anka carries a relic in her pack, tasked with securing the object before it does any harm. She sets out with her companions across the desert by foot, marching towards the distant city—even as the relic begins to whisper in her mind…

Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer is a science fiction masterpiece—a classic that ranks as one of the twentieth century’s most potent visions of the future.

Case was the sharpest data-thief in the matrix—until he crossed the wrong people and they crippled his nervous system, banishing him from cyberspace. Now a mysterious new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run at an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, a mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case is ready for the adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction.

Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.

An alien disease. A cryptic bloodline. An ancient feud between worlds.

Well. It’s nothing a little swagger can’t handle.

Damian Riddle’s sick of bouncing around the known galaxy in search of a cure for the alien disease that’s been plaguing him for months. He hasn’t felt up to robbing a single pirate ship, or breaking into any cartel supply stashes. It’s inconvenient, at best.

Also, he’s got a feeling the illness just might be fatal.

The only solution? To start searching the unknown galaxy for a cure. And Damian knows how to do it.

But when a nosy reporter stows away in his smuggling compartment, throwing off his calculations, the ship slingshots them both to an unknown location–where political maneuvering is the status quo and sinister mysteries cast shadows over the crystalline beauty of the alien city.

If Damian can’t figure out where the heck they are–and whether these aliens can help him with a cure–his ailment is sure to kill him. And with his symptoms growing worse, he fears the fallout may not be contained to one man…
