The Misfit Cruise. For Alvaro, Chloe and the rest of the crew, it was supposed to be fun. Six mismatched teenagers from every part of society and their crusty British captain aboard the ketch Crosscurrent Voyager headed on a senior year summer cruise to excitement and adventure—with maybe a little science done along the way. Then the world ended. On land and by sea, a plague spread throughout the globe, killing millions and turning survivors into cannibalistic rage monsters—zombies, in so many words.

Now, Alvaro and the crew he leads must step up to leadership or face disaster. They must seek others who were fortunate enough—or tough enough—to have made it through the apocalypse. In order to do so, they must traverse dangerous seas to a European Space Agency complex in French Guiana, even as thousands of infected stand in the way. But if the crew members of the Voyager are able to use their smarts, courage, and barely-functioning GPS receiver to fight through and link up with others, then maybe—just maybe—the plague won’t be the end of humanity’s journey after all!

Thomas Quinn is a sorcerer haunted by the memories of the things he’s done over centuries of service to the Arcanum. He has long retired from that life, running an occult shop in Philadelphia for the past several decades, wanting nothing more than to be left alone with his books and his whiskey and his shame. But when two detectives come to his door asking about a brutal ritual murder in his city, Quinn must reluctantly take up the mantle of a Sorcerer of the Arcanum once more. Thomas Quinn was prepared to fight rogue sorcerers and Fae monsters. But the greatest threat he faces may be his own inner demons.

Noah Parker was a dragon designer. Working for Build-A-Dragon in Phoenix, he helped pioneer the art and science of genetically engineering "dragons," including the wildly popular "Rover" model, designed to replace canines when "man's best friends" were all but wiped out. But Build-A-Dragon is a business. And when Parker butts heads with the firm's marketing department, he'll have to find some radical workarounds to keep his corporate boss happy while maintaining his own integrity.
