The time is America in the early 1970s and our third-generation hero, Michael Satariano, Jr. is a Vietnam vet recently returned to the States. He doesn’t know that his father’s real name was Michael O’Sullivan, and is unaware of the conflict between his dad, his grandfather and John Looney – the criminal godfather of Rock Island, Illinois. But when he’s recruited by the Mob as a hit man, he’s going to learn the hard way that you can never outrun (or outgun) your past.

WELCOME TO HELL The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the Conglomerate’s most dangerous criminals are confined for life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid. Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen, inmate Dresdemona “Dred” Devos controls one of Perdition’s six territories, bordered on both sides by would-be kings eager to challenge her claim. Keeping them at bay requires constant vigilance, as well as a steady influx of new recruits to replace the fallen. Survival is a constant battle, and death is the only escape. Of the newest convicts, only one is worth Dred’s attention. The mercenary Jael, with his deadly gaze and attitude, may be the most dangerous criminal onboard. His combat skill could give her the edge she needs, if he doesn't betray her first. Unfortunately, that's what he does best. Winning Jael’s allegiance will be a challenge, but failure could be worse than death… FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

"Perdition's Reprieve" is a dark journey through political intrigue, conspiracy and paranoia, that ends in a shocking reveal. It is set late in the 22nd Century, and written from the perspective of Frank Miller. Frank is a quiet, solitary individual who finds himself at a historic turning point. A sailor who lives floating along past the edge of society, watching from the outside, only occasionally peeking in at humanity at ports on the shore... when the need arises. He owns a small commercial sail boat registered under the name "Perdition's Reprieve" which, at just 12 years old, he inherited from his father who drown mysteriously in the middle of Lake Michigan. Using his father's boat, Frank makes his living as a courier. His latest contract wrenches him from his isolation and puts this self-described student of history at the paranoid heart of a conspiracy. Frank's choices will impact future history for all of us.The story is all in Frank's words. Frank is human. His perceptions of the world and how he views himself, how he deals with the vagaries of the situation within which he finds himself, these things all color how he relates the facts to you, the reader. A quote from Frank: "There are frequently opportunities for one unique individual to just do something, sometimes out of impulse, often out of desperation, or perhaps just some quirk of their own psyche. They catalyze a transition to the next phase. Or they just blow apart what others have struggled to build. They'll set themselves on fire out of desperation and trigger a revolution. Or they'll kill a duke and start a World War, or kill a President and derail the course of history. They could be a well-intentioned, but self-deluded, revolutionary, or a sociopath who just happens to be in the right place at the wrong time, or just a regular person getting caught up in the nauseating stream of history."

Winner of the 2011 Newbery Award. The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I’d seen only in Gideon’s stories: Manifest—A Town with a rich past and a bright future. Abilene Tucker feels abandoned. Her father has put her on a train, sending her off to live with an old friend for the summer while he works a railroad job. Armed only with a few possessions and her list of universals, Abilene jumps off the train in Manifest, Kansas, aiming to learn about the boy her father once was. Having heard stories about Manifest, Abilene is disappointed to find that it’s just a dried-up, worn-out old town. But her disappointment quickly turns to excitement when she discovers a hidden cigar box full of mementos, including some old letters that mention a spy known as the Rattler. These mysterious letters send Abilene and her new friends, Lettie and Ruthanne, on an honest-to-goodness spy hunt, even though they are warned to “Leave Well Enough Alone.” Abilene throws all caution aside when she heads down the mysterious Path to Perdition to pay a debt to the reclusive Miss Sadie, a diviner who only tells stories from the past. It seems that Manifest’s history is full of colorful and shadowy characters—and long-held secrets. The more Abilene hears, the more determined she is to learn just what role her father played in that history. And as Manifest’s secrets are laid bare one by one, Abilene begins to weave her own story into the fabric of the town. Powerful in its simplicity and rich in historical detail, Clare Vanderpool’s debut is a gripping story of loss and redemption.
