Shipwrecked on a Hostile Alien World

Set adrift on a crippled lifeboat among a sea of stars, a small band of survivors manages to beat the odds and find a habitable planet on which to land. But this strange new world holds a thousand secrets and a thousand deceptions—any one of which might prove deadly. With only each other to lean on, they must avoid the perils of this alien world and build a new life from the wreckage of the old. A new entry in the Boundary series.

Adventure and Wonder in WWII-era Texas

A secret path through an ancient oak, a heartless dog-shooting neighbor, a storm culvert that may lead directly into a secret Nazi plot. Such are the adventures that await Charlie Hardin, young denizen of WWII-era Austin. Turned loose into the Texas summer, Charlie knows that when danger comes calling, the only thing that counts is to be brave, clever—and sometimes a little bit nuts.
