His visions can save them-if he defeats the madness that waits for them allEnforcer Jaxon Tennant and his former Colony 6 crew are the last hope for a post-Breakdown society, where CORE Elite experiment on and enslave those they profess to aid. Jaxon's gift of premonitions, his visions of what will be, are growing stronger and more frequent-and equally more terrifying. But he sees nothing of the vision he needs most, and if he doesn't find a way to change that, there may not be a future for one of his crew. When they attempt to save a potential ally, the man turns out to be more than what he seems, and the crew must make a hard choice. Either way, people will die. When their plan goes sideways, they start down a path that might get them all killed before they have the chance to save the CORE's two million residents. Before Jaxon has a chance to win the woman he will always love. What more they uncover about their past and Jaxon's parentage might be the most startling revelation of all.

Welcome to the CORE: Commonwealth Objective for Reform and EfficiencyDetective Reese Parker is a survivor. Having left behind a violent past in Welfare Colony 6, she is now a sketch artist and detective with the New York Enforcer Division. Her entire focus is maintaining peace and order among the CORE's remaining two million residents, to make certain their society never faces another economic and nuclear Breakdown.She must also keep her secret. Because she never wants to be sent back to Colony 6. With constant Teev surveillance and rigid control in the CORE's most heavily populated state, Reese's job mostly consists of tracing small-time juke pushers or sending rebellious students to reconditioning. She doesn't have to face demented fringers that encroach upon the Core like her counterparts in Dallastar do, or patrol the northern borders where radiation-crazed animals attack unwary travelers. She's content with being the most accurate sketch artist in the CORE. But when one of her sketches puts her up against a human monster bigger than anything else that threatens the CORE, it's a fight she might not survive. Note from the authorThis novella is part of my Colony Six futuristic dystopian sci-fi series. After finishing the first two books, I decided I wanted to write about the catalyst that took Reese, one of my important characters, back to Dallastar near where she grew up and where the series really begins. This is the case that almost got her killed and eventually led to events that in subsequent books reunites her with her childhood crew from Welfare Colony 6, otherwise known as the Coop (after the cramped conditions and chickens they raised there for extra food).You can read this story either before or after the first two books-it doesn't have spoilers. If you are new to my series, keep in mind that this short piece won't contain the intricacies of the much longer novels, but I hope it'll give you a taste of my post-apocalyptic world. I've included terms at the end of the novel to help catch you up, so maybe take a peek at those. Enjoy

A Normal Life was Never Their DestinyProtectors is a compilation of three novellas telling the personal stories of characters in the Unbounded series. While these novellas are not necessary to understanding the rest of the series, the stories are not told in the other books, and they give depth and insight to the characters, especially Ava, Chris, and Stella. These books are not from Erin Radkey's point-of-view, and she only appears briefly in this book. If you prefer to follow only Erin's story, feel free to skip to The Escape, Book 4 in the Unbounded series. This book contains: Ava's RevengeAva O'Hare just wanted to love her child and live in peace, but a normal life was never her destiny. One stark day in 1745, everything she loved was taken from her, ripped away by the very man who should have protected her. Somehow, miraculously, Ava survived. Now it was time for revenge. Long before Ava O'Hare became the successful leader of a modern-day Renegade cell, she had other battles to fight. If you've enjoyed the Unbounded series, you will love this extra peek into the events that shaped Ava's life and made her a Guardian of Humanity. Please note: Most of Ava's Revenge takes place hundreds of years in the past. However, the last scene is present day and fits into the Unbounded timeline just after the end of The Change (Unbounded Book 1). You can read and enjoy any time after that first book. Mortal BrotherPilot Chris Radkey's only job in the Mexican jungle is to look after the plane while his Unbounded siblings retrieve a desperately needed cure. It was supposed to be easy. Much easier than seeing his wife murdered by an Emporium hit team, leaving behind two motherless children. Chris soon finds himself using every ounce of his Renegade training in a desperate struggle to secure dangerous Emporium captives and to save the life of a friend. His "easy" job has become a nightmare, one he may not survive. But a woman he cares about needs him, and he won't allow anything to stand in his way. Please note: The events in Mortal Brother take place in the Unbounded timeline simultaneously with The Cure (Unbounded Book 2) and extends several days past that novel. It should be read after The Cure. Set AblazeIn and out. Do the job. Renegade Blaze Vincent has survived years with this motto. Barely. Plucked from death's door and revived repeatedly with curequick, he's developed an addiction that threatens to destroy everything he's worked for. Now the Emporium is buying fields around a tiny Portuguese town, and mortals-Blaze's countrymen-are dying. Blaze and his partner, Kenna Murray, are determined to unravel their enemies' intentions before the entire town is lost. But things tend to explode when Blaze is around. Literally. And to save his people, he must be willing to take yet one more step over the edge. Please note: This novella gives a glimpse into Renegade Ritter Langton's whereabouts when he disappears for two months between The Change (Unbounded Book 1) and The Cure (Unbounded Book 2). However, this story isn't about him, but about someone very close to him. If you've enjoyed the Unbounded series, you will love this extra peek into Ritter's family. Set Ablaze can be enjoyed at any time after reading the first two books. Praise for the UNBOUNDED series: "Enough paranoid twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages . . . the author has clearly thought through the nuances of the story's theme and engineered a few surprising plot twists that elevate it . . . above the level of the average thriller." -Publishers Weekly "Excellent and well written " "I recommend reading the entire series" "High action and adventure"

A compelling paranormal mystery thriller for fans of Medium and Ghost Whisperer. What people are saying about the Imprint series: "What a great book. There is never a dull moment for Ms. Rain . . . The book is wrapped up nicely with a clear way to add to the series without leaving it on a cliff hanger I honestly loved this book . . ." -Elisha Nichols "I love the stories of Autumn Rain they are always filled with excitement and danger. A lot of action goes on and the supernatural aspect is fantastic or as Autumn Rain says she uses her brain more than others. I loved this one the best and have been waiting for it for awhile now. Teyla Branton has done a fantastic job in keeping one enthralled on each page." - A. Brown "Another compelling installation of of the imprints series All of Ms. Branton's books are mesmerizing, engaging, and captivating to the point of keeping you up well into the night. But her Autumn Rain series is absolutely one of my favorites of all time. She masterfully twines Intriguing plot twists, luscious characters, and compelling story lines all together in a "magically" delightful, and thrilling read Very highly recommended " -D. Dewey "I loved this latest Autumn Rain book. Autumn and her family are growing and the personalities are meshing so well. The mystery was well written and had me guessing almost right up to the end. Fast paced and exciting right to the end with a merry-go-round of emotions and an insight to maybe a new gift? Can't wait to read the next adventure " -Holly "This one draws you in right from the start . . . All of our favorite characters are back Autumn, Shannon, Tawnia, Jake, Cody, Paige, Eli, Matthew, and more. I loved seeing Shannon's parents make an appearance and getting to know them a bit. I can't help but love watching Shannon and Autumn grow ever closer as they solve the mysteries and finally see their long awaited wedding. Of course Teyla does a great job wrapping up this fantastic story but also makes you crave more . . . Immerse yourself in the fast paced world of Autumn Rain you won't be able to put it down " -Whitney Foster "I LOVED THE BOOK. The fire and aftermath had me in tears, both sad tears and happy touched tears when everyone came to help. I love how Cody is stepping up and becoming a part of Autumn and Tawnia's lives without expecting to be "Dad." The mystery was perfect as was the minor vandalism mystery . . . I smiled, cried, laughed, got angry, and every other emotion possible. I can't wait to see what happens on their honeymoon. Loved the little teaser about that too." -Candy

Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American, invented the radio, the induction motor, the neon lamp and the remote control. His breakthrough came in alternating current, which pitted him against Thomas Edison’s direct current empire and bitter patent battles ensued. But Tesla’s technology was superior and he prevailed. He had no business sense, could not capitalise on this success and his most advanced ideas were unrecognised for decades. Tesla’s personal life was magnificently bizarre. Strikingly handsome, he was germophobic and never shook hands. He required nine napkins when he sat down to dinner. In later years he ate only white food and conversed with the pigeons in Bryant Park. This authoritative and highly readable biography takes account of all phases of this remarkable life.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the twentieth century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius. Even at the end of his life when he was living in poverty, Tesla still attracted reporters to his annual birthday interview, regaling them with claims that he had invented a particle-beam weapon capable of bringing down enemy aircraft. Plenty of biographies glamorize Tesla and his eccentricities, but until now none has carefully examined what, how, and why he invented. In this groundbreaking book, W. Bernard Carlson demystifies the legendary inventor, placing him within the cultural and technological context of his time, and focusing on his inventions themselves as well as the creation and maintenance of his celebrity. Drawing on original documents from Tesla's private and public life, Carlson shows how he was an "idealist" inventor who sought the perfect experimental realization of a great idea or principle, and who skillfully sold his inventions to the public through mythmaking and illusion. This major biography sheds new light on Tesla's visionary approach to invention and the business strategies behind his most important technological breakthroughs.

Everything you are not supposed to know about Nicola Tesla in clear English and 240 illustrations. Countless hours of bathroom reading and experimenting in the garage. Includes The Tesla Mystique, True Wireless, Tesla on Colorado Springs. Tesla Electro-therapy ... Hundreds of projects suggested, seven in DIY detail. REVIEW Nexus Oct/Nov 2015 issue "Since 1986, electrical experimenter George Trinkaus has been publishing a series of booklets about Nikola Tesla and his revolutionary inventions. Now he's combined all of these titles into one revised volume, Tesla Technology, with additions from his Teslapress.com website on Tesla electrotherapy devices and Tesla's 1919 "True Wireless" article. Trinkaus leads with a brief Tesla biography before launching into detail on the disk-turbine rotary engine, the spark-gap oscillator, the Tesla coil, the magnifying transmitter, lighting and transport systems and a free-energy receiver. He rewrites Tesla's "techno-legalise" and adds his own informed commentary. The "Radio Tesla" section covers high-voltage, sudden-pulse, low-frequency wireless transmission, ground conduction, earth resonance, and the global broadcasting system. Trinkaus makes it clear that Tesla was no fan of Hertzian radio-telegraphy, and was a firm exponent of the aether as the medium of all electric phenomena. In "Tesla DIY", Trinkaus explains how to build Tesla coils and other devices. He includes an extract from Tesla's 1899-1900 Colorado Springs diary as well as an essay that deconstructs "The Tesla Mystique". This is a must-have book for Tesla buffs and anyone who wants to go beyond the mythology and get to the core of Tesla's technological legacy." -Nexus

Margaret Cheney

Called a madman by some, a genius by others, and an enigma by nearly everyone, Nikola Tesla was possibly the greatest inventor the world has ever known. He was, without a doubt, a trail blazer who created astonishing, sometimes world-transforming, devices that were virtually without theoretical precedent. It was Tesla who introduced us to the fundamentals of robotry, computers, and missile science and helped pave the way for such space-age technologies as satellites, microwaves, beam weapons, and nuclear fusion. Yet, Tesla still remains one of the least-recognized scientific pioneers in history.Certainly he was one of the strangest of scientists - almost supernaturally gifted, erratic, flamboyant, and neurotic nearly to the point of madness. A dandy and popular man-about-town, he was admired by men as diverse as George Westinghouse and Mark Twain and adored by scores of society beauties. Yet his bewildering array of compulsions and phobias extended from such mundane subjects as food and clean linen to pearls and women's ears. He was fond of creating violent, neighborhood-threatening electrical storms in his apartment laboratory and once nearly knocked down a tall building by a attaching a mysterious "black box" to its side. ( He claimed he could have destroyed the entire planet with a similar device.) And because he kept so few notes, to this day we can only guess at the details of many of the fantastic scientific projects that occupied this fevered intellect.Margaret Cheney has written the definitive in-depth biography of this astonishing figure. From Tesla's childhood in Yugoslavia to his death in New York in the 1940's, Cheney both paints a compelling human portrait and chronicles a lifetime of discoveries that radically altered - and continue to alter - the world we live in. Cheney also casts important light on one of the central mysteries associated with Tesla - the whereabouts of the famous "missing scientific papers" that vanished at the time of the inventor's death. Tesla is a riveting journey into the mind and life of the eccentric wizard who was Edison's enemy, Mark Twain's friend, J.P Morgan's client, and hero and mentor to many of the 20th century's most famous scientists.

In this insightful and revelatory new book, the author of the highly acclaimed, award-winning international bestseller Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla delves deeper into the groundbreaking ideas and astonishing mind of one of the greatest geniuses of modern times. The culmination of more than four decades of research, Tesla: Wizard at War explores the historical impact of Tesla's particle beam weapon and other brilliant work--and how it continues to shape global military technology and diplomatic strategies even today. In a few years hence, it will be possible for nations to fight without armies, ships or guns, by weapons far more terrible to the destructive action and range of which there is virtually no limit. Any city at any distance whatsoever from the enemy can be destroyed by him and no power on Earth can stop him from doing so. --Nikola Tesla, circa 1925 Drawing on forty years of research and a treasure trove of new information, Tesla: Wizard at War provides a comprehensive view of Tesla's discoveries, which continue to influence today's military technology and diplomatic strategies. One of the world's leading Tesla experts, Marc J. Seifer offers new insight into the brilliant scientist's particle beam weapon (a.k.a. the Death Ray) and explores his military negotiations with pivotal historical figures--including his links to Joseph Stalin, Vannevar Bush, General Andrew McNaughton, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. From Tesla's role in the origins of Star Wars technology and his dynamic theory of gravity to the real purpose behind the iconic tower at Wardenclyffe, this is an eye-opening account of Tesla's projects, passions, and ambitions--and an illuminating, important study of one of history's most intriguing figures.

"Tesla & me" is the English translation of a non-fiction #1 best-seller in France, "Au-dela de l'impossible" (Beyond the Impossible), with photos included. It's an extraordinary true story...Tesla and Einstein together -as you've never known them " What if we had absolute proof that, after death, our consciousness continued to transmit emotions and information? What if the proof were brought to us by two of the world's greatest geniuses - Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein? That is the incredible real-life adventure that award-winning author Didier van Cauwelaert found himself caught up in after the French publication of his best-selling "Dictionary of the Impossible." With his meticulous investigative style and wonderful sense of humor, paired with critical distance, van Cauwelaert presents a "how-to guide" to the space-time continuum and the secrets of an inexhaustible supply of free, non-polluting energy. Our entire view of both our world and our future becomes more hopeful as we advance through these revelations, especially from Nikola Tesla-who refuses to give in, either to the censorship of the living or the silence of death.
