Runner

Thirty years ago, in a facility buried beneath a vast Wyoming emptiness, an experiment gone awry accidentally opened a door. It is the world's best-kept secret—and its most terrifying. Trying to regain his life in the Alaskan wilds, ex-con/ex-cop Travis Chase stumbles upon an impossible scene: a crashed 747 passenger jet filled with the murdered dead, including the wife of the President of the United States. Though a nightmare of monumental proportions, it pales before the terror to come, as Chase is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around an amazing artifact. Allied with a beautiful covert operative whose life he saved, Chase must now play the role he's been destined for—a pawn of incomprehensible forces or humankind's final hope—as the race toward Apocalypse begins in earnest. Because something is loose in the world. And doomsday is not only possible . . . it is inevitable.

The Breach

For decades, inexplicable technology has passed into our world through the top secret anomaly called the Breach. The latest device can punch a hole into the future . . . What Paige Campbell saw when she opened a door into seventy years from now scared the hell out of her. She and her Tangent colleagues brought their terrible discovery to the President—and were met with a hail of automatic gunfire after leaving the White House. Only Paige survived. Fearing a terrifying personal destiny revealed to him from the other side of the Breach, Travis Chase abandoned Tangent . . . and Paige Campbell. Now he must rescue her—because Paige knows tomorrow’s world is desolate and dead, a ghost country scattered with the bones of billions. And Doomsday will dawn in just four short months . . . unless they can find the answers buried in the ruins to come. But once they cross the nightmare border into Ghost Country, they might never find their way back . . .

Ghost Country

Joining a former colleague who needs help rescuing four kidnapped girls, Sam Dryden discovers that his friend has been secretly working to develop a world-changing technology that murderous adversaries would claim for their own agendas.

Mindreader

The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret. But there is another secret even less known . . . and far more terrifying. As the U.S. President addresses the nation from the Oval Office, a missile screams toward the White House. In a lightning flash, the Chief Executive is dead, his mansion in ruins, and two cryptic words are the only clue to the assassins’ motives: “See Scalar.” Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent—caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders—along with partner and lover Paige Campbell and technology expert Bethany Stewart, have only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country—and back through time and malleable memory—is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill . . .

Dark Site

“Thriller writing of the highest order.”—Providence Journal On an otherwise normal morning, former Special Forces operative Sam Dryden is the target of an unsuccessful attempted abduction. Using his attacker's cellphone, he learns that another person, a woman named Danica Ellis, is also being targeted. Dryden arrives just in time to save Danica from the assault team sent after her. But neither of them recognize the other—or have any idea why they are being targeted. The only clue is a heavily redacted, official-looking document given to Danica by her stepfather before he was killed. “Just when it seems clear what’s truly going on, another surprise appears...”—Associated Press Dryden immediately recognizes it as a “scrub file,” a record of what a subject knew before their memories were chemically destroyed. The redacted document refers to witnesses to a secret military site in Ashland, Iowa in 1989. Both Dryden and Danica lived in Ashland in 1989, when they were both twelve years old, though neither of them has any memory of the other. Now it’s up to Dryden and Danica to piece together the details of their past—and elude the forces that are after them in the present-day—before more lives are lost...including their own. “Patrick Lee manages to build character and create an audacious premise without ever taking his foot off the throttle.” —Booklist (starred review)

Das Labyrinth der Zeit

Dean Darlamb is a rarity: a high school optimist. He has self-confidence, motivation, and a sense of purpose. All of that comes into question, however, when he is thrust into the whirlwind of Highland High's Social System as a rising junior. He must come to terms with Olivianah, a new girl in his life, Don Valli, the mysterious football transfer, and many other unknown fears. In an accurate portrayal of the modern-day high school world, teen author Patrick Lee takes the reader for a draining expedition into the life of a naive sixteen-year-old, where you will realize, hopefully, what Dean cannot.

Die Pforte

Robert P. George

"During a recent day-time television talk show a young woman was informed that her husband had offered her best friend 500 dollars to have sex with him. Needless to say, the young woman (the wife) became very angry and she (along with the talk-show host and most of the audience present) viewed this act as an egregious betrayal"--
