Mapping the Silence of Dreams Harris Palmer is the assistant director of security at a laboratory where scientists have succeeded in making contact with something in the dream sphere, or more specifically, accidentally brought something back.

The Dead of Night Hath Fury A San Francisco cop has been dirty for so long now that he's lost all sense of being good. In his years he's stolen drugs, money and whatever else wasn't nailed down.

And then he meets the right girl, who causes him to clean up his act and begin to atone for his wrongs. But something doesn't want him on the right side and will do everything in its power to make sure he never succeeds.

You're Never Alone Jason Dent has lived a long, yet difficult life.

Autorenporträt

Possibly the greatest translator to ever live, Duane Gundrum can speak 35 words of at least two different languages fluently. When sober, he can walk a straight line and not fall down once. Well, once, but he still thinks he was tripped. Always fascinated by the Greek Trojans, he wonders why they couldn't have gone with a different name instead of stealing USC's mascot for their own. He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but don't tell anyone. You know that whole restraining order thing....
