Halley Zwick steckt in Schwierigkeiten. In der Art Schwierigkeiten, bei der falsche Ausweise, mächtige Politiker und mehr als eine Sorte Gesetzeshüter involviert sind. Sowohl die Guten als auch die Bösen sind hinter ihr her, aber Halley kann nicht länger sagen, wer eigentlich wer ist. Um allen zu entkommen, nimmt sie einen Job auf dem Raumschiff »Elysium Fields« an, wo die Reichen und Schönen Seite an Seite in ihren Kälteschlafkapseln liegen – und das seit Hunderten von Jahren. Doch dann geschieht etwas Merkwürdiges: Die Hologramme ihrer »Passagiere« warnen Halley, dass sie das Schiff unbedingt verlassen muss. Etwas Hungriges lauert im Dunkel der Laderäume, und möglicherweise ist es bereits zu spät …

It’s not easy to tread lightly wearing steel-toed boots.Sirantha Jax isn’t known for diplomatic finesse. As a “Jumper” who navigates ships through grimspace, she’s used to kicking ass first and taking names later—much later. Not exactly the obvious choice to sell the Conglomerate to the Ithtorians, a people whose opinions of humans are as hard as their exoskeletons.And Ithiss-Tor council meetings aren’t the only place where Ambassador Jax needs to maneuver carefully. Her lover, March, is frozen in permanent “kill” mode, and his hair-trigger threatens to sabotage the talks—not to mention their relationship.But Jax won’t give up on the man or the mission. With the Outskirts beleaguered by raiders, pirates, and the flesh-eating Morgut, an alliance with Ithiss-Tor may be humanity’s only hope.Which has Jax wondering why a notorious troublemaker like her was given the job.

The bad girl of the magical underworld is back and badder than everSomeone wants Marla Mason dead. Usually that’s not news. As chief sorcerer of Felport, someone always wants her dead. But this time she’s the target of a renegade assassin who specializes in killing his victims over days, months, or even years . Not to mention a mysterious knife-wielding killer in black who pops up in the most unexpected places. To make matters worse, an inmate has broken out of the Blackwing Institute for criminally insane sorcerers—a troubled psychic who can literally reweave the fabric of reality to match her own traumatic past.With her wisecracking partner Rondeau reluctantly in tow, Marla teams up with a “love-talker” whose dangerous erotic spells not even she can resist. Together they’re searching the rapidly transforming streets of Felport for a woman who’s become the Typhoid Mary of nightmares, infecting everything—and everyone—she touches with a chaos worse than death itself.

Broke and unemployed, "Jumper" Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the government only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grim, space-weakened body.

As the carrier of a rare gene, Sirantha Jax has the ability to jump ships through grimspace-a talent which makes her a highly prized navigator for the Corp. Then a crash landing kills everyone on board, leaving Jax in a jail cell with no memory of the crash. But her fun's not over. A group of rogue fighters frees her...for a price: her help in overthrowing the established order.
