In a powerless world with society in full-on collapse, the appearance of an aerial drone does nothing to comfort Frank and his crew. The voice behind it knows many things about Frank's people, but he also shares critical details about the enemies surrounding Clownfish Cove. Details that could give them huge advantages . . .But can Frank trust him?

The last few days have seen nothing but tension between Frank and the person operating aerial drones throughout his neighborhood watch area. He can't trust a thing the man says, but when one of Frank's people gets captured, the mysterious operator claims to know here he is. All Frank has to do is go meet with him in the middle of the night. While he waits for the big meeting, Frank gets caught up in a spiraling tangle of webs that involve people high up in the government. Very high up . . .

It's been a long couple of weeks since the power shut off, and life is only getting harder. Much harder. A quiet resignation has set in. The power is not coming back anytime soon. The last holdouts of shelter-in-place are emerging from their doomed homes to find they've missed the boat on prepping for THE END. Desperation follows. And the world itself seems broken. Cities burn and throw their ash high into the atmosphere, painting the sky red. Libraries are torched. Food stores totally looted. Homes invaded. Every abandoned car has been picked clean.

Frank has read all the books about the end of the world . . . but books can't pull the trigger. He's tried to keep the peace. He's tried to talk his way out of tight spots. And yet he still ended up with a body count fit for a warlord. And it's only getting worse. Frank's problem, and the problem of everyone on Clownfish Cove, is that words can't fill the stomachs of the hungry city around them. The area controlled by the neighborhood watch is the only place not tearing itself to shreds. It is the only place with food, fresh water, and a bit of hope.

Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14, 1894 - September 3, 1962), commonly known as e e cummings, was an American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright. During World War I, he worked as an ambulance driver and was imprisoned in an internment camp, which provided the basis for his 1922 novel The Enormous Room. The following year he published his first collection of poetry.

An orphan girl. A dark and twisted kingdom. An ongoing shadow war resulting in enslaved fairies. This is the world of Cinder. A world where a girl like her can be sold to be human prey for a ritualistic hunt. But on this night, even the predators might have something to fear. On this night, even a royal prince might find himself trapped by the expectations of the Dark King...and a girl like no other.

Wenn die Engel die Bösen sind. Die Engel sind auf die Erde gekommen, doch sie haben nicht Frieden und Freude, sondern Elend und Zerstörung mit sich gebracht: Weltweit liegen die Städte in Trümmern, und die Menschen trauen sich vor Angst kaum noch auf die Straße. Als eine Gruppe Engel die kleine Schwester von Penryn entführt...

After the EMP, the land rush is on. Food. Supplies. People. It will all be claimed. Frank survived one expedition out into the world, but he'll need to do it many more times if he wants his people to survive. He starts by searching for another of the rare working vehicles still on the road. More cars mean more supplies. Every trip out comes with risks. He soon finds abandoned military roadblocks, competing bands of survivors, and average people getting ever more desperate.

"Du höjer upp ditt skrivbord så att vi båda kan stå upp och titta på kalkylbladet på skärmen. Du sträcker ut armen och pekar på en siffra. Du drar tillbaka armen igen. Din överarm rör vid min. Varenda rörelse gör att doften av din parfym tränger ännu längre in i min hjärna. Långsamt tar den kontroll över mina tankar, mina rörelser, mina stämband. Jag flyttar min fot en aning så att jag snuddar vid din höft. Men jag har ingen aning om vad ditt kalkylblad handlar om. Försiktigt kastar jag en blick mot Karin, som sitter vid skrivbordet mitt emot ditt.

When a charwoman's old grammar instructor returns from the dead with a bad cold and desire to conjugate, tea and sympathy may not be enough to put the ghost to rest.

After the EMP, Frank controls one street. A whole city surrounds him. Frank gets his people through the critical first days of the EMP disaster, but he knows his next choice could determine their fate months or even years down the road . . . Search for help using their bikes? Ally with strangers two blocks over? Turtle up and hunker down for the long haul? He discovers another option inside his neighbor's garage: an ancient hot rod, immune to the effects of an EMP, is there for the taking.

Adam döljer sin oerhörda nyfikenhet bakom artiga frågor, förstående nickar och en levande mimik. Efter två förrätter med vitt vin känner jag mig stärkt. Värmen plågar mig inte längre, även om jag känner att svetten fortsätter rinna fram under armarna. En droppe hittar vägen ned mellan mina bröst och kittlar mig på väg nedöver magen. Adam berättar en rolig historia. Jag skrattar. Hans lätta humör smittar.

Med ens kom han ihåg henne. Två-tre dagar tidigare hade hon lämnat in filmerna för framkallning. Han hade lagt märke till henne. Doften av henne. Utseendet. Hon hade haft en erotisk aura, trots att hon varit insvept i en fotsid regnkappa. Under en moderiktig sydväst i svart lack hade en aning av ett leende lekt mot honom. Men så var hon borta. Bara doften av henne hade hängt kvar en stund. Leon drog efter andan. Han minskade farten på maskinen så att han kunde studera varje bild noggrant. Kvinnan strippade framför honom.
