Weary of Cold War politics, CIA operative Gabriel Haines can't wait to leave the Company life for a job on his friend's isolated Texas ranch. All he needs to do is go to Dallas and seal the deal. But when President John F. Kennedy is assassinated just yards from where Haines stands, the former agent finds himself in tighter crosshairs than ever before. Keeping a low profile on the ranch couldn't come at a better time. Motherless preteen Ivy Jean Pritchard is a worrier, but she's trying hard not to be suspicious when her father sends her to spend the weekend on a ranch with family she's never met. And with her troublemaker teenaged cousin, high-society aunt, and her uncle's mistress on the scene, it promises to be more than the western adventure Ivy had anticipated. Now, marksmen have tracked Haines to the ranch, getting the entire family involved in something very adult and very worrisome. When the weekend turns deadly, Haines and Ivy Jean are the first to learn that secrets, especially those devised and perpetuated "for the good of us all," can breakdown a family--or a nation--in the blink of an eye.

A series of catastrophic events- a phenomenon most widely knows as The Fall -has left the world in ruin. After six years, locations have sprung up to do their best to bring order and authority back into society; Riverhollow, Gleamwood, Wolfsbane and Wildecrest. Outside the walls of these small civilisations lies the broken cities, the remains of the world lost, where savages reside. Dayton Wilson, a Riverhollow resident, goes through his days in a blur; work, visit his brother in the hospital, sleep, repeat. Right as things are becoming too much and he's about to give up, he's approached with an interesting proposition to work for a company he hasn't heard of until now. Though skeptical, he realises it's the only way to get his head above the water and help his brother. Unfortunately, he'll probably drown them both anyways. [more]

Hanna Eber's brother is the author and artist of the famous Electricty comic books. He had patterned the super heroine's most interesting aspects after each of his family members. His father, the brains; his mother the overexcited static electrical charge and mathematical gift; and his younger sister Hanna as the body model. Most people when they look at her easily see the character resemblance and get excited. Strangers approach her all the time on the street and ask her, "Are you Electricty?" or "Are you Saul Christian Eber's sister?" Fans of the comic series... which is annoying but not too difficult to deal with. That is until the day of the plane crash. Then everything changed. Hanna discovers that her parents’ deaths were not an accident. The center of a conspiracy, Hanna finds out that the sparks she can make with her fingers, and her amazing healing ability are just the tip of the phenomena that turn her life upside down, including being struck by lightning. Hanna learns that maybe her brother’s comic book character is not that unlike her after all [more]
