Kayla is about to commit pseudocide. She's met a couple of experts, and they've sold her on faking her death - wiping the slate clean, emerging a new person. But, she needs a witness. When Kayla begs, Sean gets roped in. I mean, nothing too serious: just lie about when he last saw her. Except, things fall apart in a hurry. The police don't see an accident, they see murder - and Sean is their suspect. She's vanished, and he's facing prison. His only hope is to chase Kayla's trail and reach out to the enigmatic strangers who make a life out of pretending to be dead. They call it enlightenment, but Sean calls it crazy. But at least they have a plan, even if the first step is to kill himself. Will Sean have the strength to take the plunge? And if he does, who will come out the other side?

Sean Reilly belongs to the gulf. The bond was forged when he faked his death by diving in, and honored as waves carried Sean out of a statewide manhunt and into Morgan's saving graces. Six months after the events of Keep the Ghost, that same ocean brings our intrepid fugitive to a desolate island off Mexico's east coast. There are just a couple thousand people on Isla Holbox, and only five police officers. Normally, he'd like that fine - but normally, someone isn't trying to murder him. Nothing is simple anymore. Back in the States, he could trust Morgan completely. She was his mentor and guide. Now, something has changed. Something from their past has reached Holbox, and Sean's introduction to it rides along a bullet aimed squarely at him. Someone wants him dead, and he doesn't know who or why. Morgan might, but when has she ever told him the truth? And that's just start of his problems. If Sean ever hopes to escape into the gulf again, he'll have to break free from a box of his own making. In doing so, he'll answer the question: Can a person ever truly remake themselves?

Way down we go. Taking off where Shadow Box ends, Sean and Morgan find themselves facing mortal peril at the hands of their nemesis only hours after fleeing Holbox. Unfortunately, this is the high point for Sean. Once again, someone sets about faking his suicide - except this time, the goal is to actually kill him. All threads intertwine to draw the trilogy to a tight tapestry: The law, the criminal network, and the madman who all want him dead are on a collision course with our hero. And behind them all, Morgan schemes. Gavels will bang, bodies will drop, and truth will be brought to light. Keep the Ghost travels full-circle in its savage conclusion, Kill the Ghost. Everything ends, especially life.

Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.

A stunning memoir from the astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station—a candid account of his remarkable voyage, of the journeys off the planet that preceded it, and of his colorful formative years.The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly inimical to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home—an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on another mission, his twin brother's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, was...
