Do the dead grieve for the living? Plagued by nightmares of his dead wife, Max resurrects her in a desperate, alcohol-fueled frenzy. His gruesome act returns them to their wedded bliss, but his unearthly endeavor leads to a ghastly chain of events that quickly spirals out of control. She uses all the pain and darkness that haunted her in life to torture her once dear husband and everyone around him. She strikes the living with a vengeance borne from beyond the grave. Russell Krane's debut masterpiece explores boundaries the living take for granted: those between reality and illusion, now and forever, and most of all, life and death. If you could spend eternity with the one you love, what price would you be willing to pay?

Our backs are against the wall. What will we do to win? Starship Captain Joaquin Lafontaine's life is forfeit: his actions in a war against the genocidal Jaari Star Empire have led to a massive defeat and loss of life. His punishment? Death. Or so it seems. Whisked away in the dead of night, Joaquin is conscripted into a top-secret Mobile Infantry initiative: The Avatar Project. It promises to turn him and his fellow prison conscripts into super soldiers, and to allow them to right their wrongs against the United Planetary Coalition with military service. However, the project isn't what it appears to be. Joaquin and his new friends will discover the true nature of their physical and mechanical upgrades and understand just how desperate the Coalition is to eek out a victory in a brutal, bloody war that they are losing. Together, the Avatars must work together and fight as one, lest they fall prey to the insidious nature of the project. Will Joaquin and his friends survive and reclaim their humanity? Or will the project claim their minds, bodies, and souls? John Briggs has decades of experience in science fiction, and writes intense, thought-provoking novels with dark themes and humor.
