Novels of the New Frontier

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, all that remains is HOPE. Creek is a deaf boy, a thief, vagral, and a wily survivor of the ruins of what used to be America. He couldn't be more different from Lucinda, a headstrong resident of an elite enclave, with a device in her brain that connects her to all the knowledge in the world, both a blessing and a deadly curse. When fate throws Creek and Lucinda together with a ragtag group of misfits fleeing a vicious warlord, they must fight for their lives to forge a home on the New Frontier. HOPE is the thrilling follow-up to the critically-acclaimed sci-fi standalone JOY. An action-packed adventure with heart, it dives deep into our longing for a place to call home, and our need to connect with each other when the world is falling apart around us. Follow Creek and Lucinda as they reach for a better life in a chaotic world full of battle robots, warring factions, mind-controlling viruses - and hope.

What would you give up to experience perfect Joy? A hurricane strikes the Elysium Spa, and a gentle android named Tender can only save one of his guests - a fifteen-year-old girl named Virgo. She has the innocence of an infant - the Spa guests are born, reproduce, and die in scientifically calibrated baths that keep them in a state of perpetual ecstasy, called Joy. She has never walked, or spoken, or had a cogent thought. Tender's sole purpose is to return Virgo to the state of bliss that is her birthright. He takes her on a journey across a post-apocalyptic American landscape depopulated by war, famine, and plague. As Tender and Virgo struggle to survive, they come face to face with what it means to be a human on this earth. And they face a choice - embrace this painful, beautiful world, or return Virgo to an existence of mindless, but perfect, Joy. JOY is lyrical post-apocalyptic fiction at it's best. A thrilling adventure, a coming of age story, and a profound exploration into what it means to be happy, and what it means to be human.
