Njandejara loves scandalously.The universe is barreling toward heat death. Interdimensional energy beings see matter-based life forms as an energy-consuming plague-and to support their case, sentients do have a habit of destroying every world we touch. Either matter-beings will be forced to give back the energy we've co-opted, or we need someone else to fill that deficit.Njandejara is the Progenitor energy being, and the only life-form with enough juice to stop the drain. Unlike the other interdimensionals, he's deeply in love with matter, and would gladly give all of himself to save these little worlds.But Njandejara can't die. It's physically impossible. If he could, the Universe that depends on him would spiral into nothingness. Not nonexistence, but a harsh, hellish, meaninglessness. There's a little bioship hopping from planet to planet trying to stop the heat death, though. And on board they have Njandejara's greatest vulnerability. With death at the end of the road, either they're about to save the Universe ... or they'll be the ones to damn it forever.

Lem's world is ending.That's not just her personal world, even though she's still reeling a year after burying one of her best friends at the bottom of a desert ravine-and she's got family enslaved by actual mind control on a distant planet under military blockade.It's not just her political world, either, even though the freedom fighters she served since childhood seem pretty happy believing she died after they exiled her.No, the actual Universe is under attack as interdimensional forces siphon its energy into another plane, eager to speed along its final heat death. They think Lem's world would look a whole lot better empty, and one of the most powerful military leaders across five solar systems agrees. He's constructing a vast, planet-spanning Structure under their direction to rend a hole in the fabric of space-and Lem may have accidentally handed him its power source. Now she's got to find an ancient bioship and assemble an inter-species team to stop the apocalypse, or find a way to tell those she loves a decent goodbye.

Lem's a mace-wielding teen space-ninja in a universe of sentient insectoids, purple jungles, and insane electromagnetic fields. She solves most problems by hitting harder, and never plays by her enemy's rules-until Jared Diebol captures her.Diebol is the rising leader of an army uniting the galaxy by force. He believes that the violent energy being Njande has "contaminated" Lem and her friends from another dimension to conquer the matter-based universe. Diebol's army usually kills contaminated people-but he vows to cure Lem. When Diebol kidnaps Lem's family, he forces her to choose between the matter beings she loves and the energy person she adores. If Lem rejects Diebol's cure, her family dies-but if Lem cuts out Njande's energy, she opens our universe to a much darker thermodynamic attack.A blend of hard biomedical science fiction with multicultural fantasy, Neodymium Exodus combines the introspection of classics like Perelandra with the vibrant boldness of modern best-sellers like This Alien Shore and Space Opera.
