Was Lysa's sacrifice enough to save the Earth? As the enormous spacecraft named Fluffy floats above a stunned Earth, the planet is again thrown into chaos. Humans thought the Portal Invasion was over. The portals stopped coming as suddenly as they began. Earth has barely begun recovering from the terror. Now, the sentient spacecraft and its crew tell the world how wrong they were...about everything. As Hub waits in the deep, dark vastness of space, the crew of the stolen spacecraft races to stop the tragedy soon to befall Earth. If they can get humanity to stop fighting each other long enough to help save their own necks, the galaxy can open to humanity. Humans need only summon the bravery to step through the door. In the thrilling conclusion to the Into The Galaxy duology, unlock the secrets to Hub, Earth's past, and the future of every living thing on this unique planet, the one and only Earth.

The world sees the portals as an invasion. For Lysa, they're an invitation. The portals appeared without warning. Every thirteen minutes they take a thousand humans, leaving exact duplicates in their place. Now, chaos reigns and no one is sure anyone is still the person they knew. Whoever is sending the portals has destroyed human society without firing a shot. But not everyone thinks they're a prelude to invasion. Lysa, a student far too bright for her own good, believes the portals could be something wonderful. Her burning curiosity leads her to do the unthinkable; she leaps through a portal meant for another. What she finds is a galaxy teeming with life, worlds beyond imagining, and two terrible truths: Earth is in danger, and the portals are a one-way trip. Stranded in an alien civilization, Lysa will have to use her ingenuity to find a way home and warn Earth before it's too late.

There is hope at the end of the long darkness. Not everyone will see it, but then again, not everyone should see it. From the most unlikely superhero to an alternate timeline, from a school where things aren't quite as they seem to a new world on the brink of disaster, from a man who cheats time to the last survivor of a space disaster...it's all imagined here, and there is always hope. Inside these pages is a combination of new tales and previously published anthology stories, newly imagined without word limits, including Sedge, The Mirroring, Life/Time in the New World, Unnatural, Yankari, and Lulu Ad Infinitum.

Called PePrs - say it like pepper, the spice - they have become indispensable to humanity. They do the jobs we don't want to do, act as our windows to the wider world, fill all our social needs, and have become the expressions of our collective will. From the battlefield to the dog pound, from our perfect mate to the nanny that cares for our children...almost every task can now be done by a PePr, leaving humans to explore a life free of drudgery.

Too bad for her it turned out to be fear. Yet all is not as it seems inside the cold Perfect Partners facility. As Sandra gets swept up in the plots inside the PePr facility, she must maintain her placid facade or wind up on the chopping block along with her new friend.
