Gordon Bonnet

When Darren Ault meets his friend Lee McCaskill for dinner, he doesn't expect the second course to be a gunshot to the head. Even more unexpected is the fact that the bullet doesn't kill him-instead, it causes the rest of humanity to vanish.

Lock & Key

Six hundred years have passed since a worldwide revolution, followed by a devastating series of plagues and famines, collapsed modern civilization. The remnants of humanity, without the safety and security provided by technology, are forced back to the daily fight for survival. In the tiny village of Klen—peopled by the descendants of the little group that escaped Seattle before the earthquake and flood destroyed it—even the ability to read and write were lost, and all their cultural knowledge is entrusted to the memory of one person, the Guardian of the Word. Then the appearance of a foundling—a little girl named Lanya, escaped from a distant city the people of Klen didn’t even know existed—threatens to change everything. She brings to them the most dangerous thing in the world: ideas. The awareness that outside their protected, isolated little enclave, there is a wider world, in which some of the learning of the Before Time has been preserved. And when the Guardian’s apprentice, young, headstrong Kallian Dorn, becomes determined to go to Lanya’s city to see if he can resurrect the lost knowledge of a fallen civilization, his actions may be the catalyst to overturning everything the people of Klen believe.

The Scattering Winds

Choose a Side. Gordon Bonnet takes you on an action-packed thrill ride with Chris Franzia, a high school teacher who suddenly finds his life in danger at the hands of a vast, sinister conspiracy that's already killed five of his college classmates.

Kill Switch

How Far Would You Go to Find a Lost Loved One? Ten years ago, a man and his girlfriend went into the woods at the end of Claver Road on what was supposed to be a weekend's camping trip, and never returned. Police combed the area, but nothing was found except for his car, abandoned where they'd parked it. It seemed like Brad Ellicott and Cara Marshall had been swallowed by the silent, brooding forest, leaving not a trace of what had happened or where they went. His identical twin brother, left to mourn his loss, has spent the last decade unable to let go of his grief, to accept that Brad and Cara are gone forever. Based on sinister hints from a few of the older residents of Guildford, New York, the closest village to the woods, he discovers that there might be more to the story than the disappearance of a couple of hikers. The woods has had an evil reputation for well over a century, and his brother and his girlfriend are not the first people to defy the warnings and brave the shadows under the trees-nor the first to vanish there. Becoming obsessed with discovering what happened to his brother, he delves deeper and deeper into the mystery that lies beyond the end of Claver Road, and he uncovers a terrifying truth that challenges everything he believes. Is the knowledge worth the cost? And will he get the answers he needs before the forest claims him as its next victim?

Descent Into Ulthoa

Desperation, fear, and love are a powerful combination. Back in Las Cruces, New Mexico, following their harrowing cross-country mission, Boundary Enforcement Agents Kerri Elias, Aaron Vincent, and Will Daigle find that they’re anything but safe. Earth’s population is being subjugated en masse, their neural energy harvested and used as sustenance for an invading army of ruthless extra-terrestrials. What few ragged survivors are left are hanging on as best they can in a largely depopulated world, running in small, isolated groups scrounging for resources while avoiding capture. The war seems all but over, and the Black-eyed Children have won. In these darkest of hours, though, hope still survives. Kerri, in particular, clings to the words of Saul—a member of the mysterious alien race known as the Pleiadians—who once told her that she and she alone had the ability to stop the Children from destroying humanity. While she may not understand exactly why this is so, she has no choice but to believe he was right. Against all odds, she, Aaron, and Will, along with a brilliant young scientist named Cameron Sterling, try desperately to find some way to fight an enemy that seems both implacable and invulnerable. Will they find the answer they’re looking for before it’s too late? Because if they don’t, it won’t be long before there is not a single human left alive on planet Earth.

Fear No Colors

Time can be an ally or an enemy. Concerned that an invasion of the Black-eyed Children is imminent, but unable to convince their boss—the irascible Harlan “Duke” Rendell—that the threat is real, Boundary agents Kerri Elias and Aaron Vincent decide to strike out on their own. Teaming up with a young doctor from southern Louisiana, Will Daigle, on a cross-country trip on the advice of their mysterious Pleiadian mentor Saul, they head for a small town in upstate New York. What their ultimate goal is, Saul can’t—or won’t—say. He tells them only that time is short, and they’ll know what to do when they get there. The Black-eyed Children are not the only threat they will encounter along the way, though. The crisis humanity now faces brings out our species’ best and worst, and more than once they’ll have to confront dangers of a purely terrestrial origin. And while Saul has reassured Kerri that she is the key to stopping the invasion, there is no guarantee that she, Aaron, and Will will survive what looks increasingly like a suicide mission. Is Saul acting in their interests, or in the interest of humanity as a whole? Or is he engaged in his own personal game, moving the three of them around like pawns on a chessboard, with ends in mind having nothing to do with protecting the people of the Earth? Only time will tell... if they’re still alive to find out, that is.

Whistling in the Dark

Forgiveness has its limits. Revenge doesn't. On a sweltering hot summer day, Troy Seligman witnesses a murder out on the still waters of Carlisle Lake. A woman strikes Dr. Gregory Neal in the back of the head with a boat hook, knocking him over the side of his yacht. Troy sees it all, and there’s no doubt in his mind that the murderer is Dr. Neal's socialite wife, Linda. It sounds like an open and shut case for the private detectives of Snowe Agency. Not everything is as it seems, however. It becomes quickly obvious that the dentist was not the pillar of society he was thought to be. With a long string of infidelities to his name, just about everyone in his life has motive for murder—including his wife, secretary, business partner, mistress, and all three of his dental hygienists. All of them, however, have alibis, even his wife. She was thirty miles away at the time, in front of dozens of witnesses, and recovering from shoulder surgery, to boot. Troy knows what he saw, but the fact that he was projecting outside his body when he witnessed the murder makes his story problematic at best. Caught now in a tawdry web of sex, lies, and jealousy, he and fellow detectives Bethany Hale, Seth Augustine, and Callista Lee will put their skills to the test to pick up the killer’s trail before someone else on Dr. Neal’s list gets the hook.

Room for Wrath

Snowe Agency has a unique approach to solving crimes. Besides the usual sifting through the evidence for clues and motives, each of the detectives has an additional—and unusual—skill. The suave Seth Augustine is a psychometer—he gets psychic impressions from touching objects people have handled. Tough, smart Bethany Hale has precognitive dreams. Troy Seligman can do astral projection—but has to fight guilt feelings about spying on people in spirit form. Jeff Kolnikoff seems shy and fumbling, but his telekinetic ability is off the charts. And the eccentric, brilliant telepath, Callista Lee, can read people's thoughts as clearly as if they were speaking aloud. And this time, they'll need all the skills they have. A man was poisoned at a wedding reception—but afterwards, the hundred guests, and even the bride and groom, all deny having the slightest idea who he is. Even the police are stumped about his identity. So can they catch a murderer when the victim is a complete cipher—before the killer decides to strike again?

Poison the Well

Choose a side. When high school teacher Chris Franzia comes home on the last day of school, he finds two FBI agents waiting for him. A string of seemingly unrelated murders has left them baffled, and they can find only one commonality. All five victims shared a college class with Chris thirty years earlier... and now he may be next. Struggling with the sheer impossibility of the situation, Chris's skepticism fades after a series of failed attempts on his life makes things deadly clear. Thus begins a harrowing cross-country race, forcing Chris to put together the pieces of his past while staying one step ahead of his mysterious assailants. Can he make the connection in time? And will the deadly picture of reconstructed memory be worth the price of knowing?
