Section Eight (Shadow Warriors)
Summary
Section 8: The men and women called upon by The Organization to do the impossible. They are the soldiers with nothing to lose, making up a top-secret unit tasked with what others call suicide missions. Long before the United States existed, The Organization pulled strings...Dating back to the destruction of the Knights Templar, possibly even further in history. Captain Jim Vaughn is an officer in disgrace. Commanding a Special Forces mission to rescue hostages in the Philippines, Vaughn's team is destroyed, and when the smoke clears, he becomes the scapegoat. Forced into the shadows by the scandal, Vaughn is offered a chance to redeem himself when he is approached by an enigmatic government agent working for The Organization. Vaughn is shocked to meet his new teammates, a group outside of the regular chain of command. These are soldiers who have used up all their second chances - the men and women who have crossed the line one too many times. Drug users. Felons. The terminally ill. And now, these are the soldiers that Vaughn must trust with his life. Even with a traitor in their ranks. But is the traitor actually the patriot? This group of misfits has been assembled for two reasons - they are skilled and they are expendable. They are needed to attempt the missions that the government can't acknowledge, the country can't condone. The team cannot fail. But the deeper Vaughn gets into the group, the more he realizes that The Organization may be concealing more than the just rap sheets of its most unusual operators. A team of such unique properties is the perfect tool to use against America's enemies...and possibly America itself.

Feast
Summary
The human race hangs by a thread the thickness of a single gene: RC-714. The gene, which unlocks the millennia of genetic traits stored in junk DNA, gives crops the ability to rapidly evolve and thrive in any environment. But RC-714 is passed on when consumed. Any creature - mammal, reptile, fish, or insect - that eats the genetically modified crops becomes a slave to the Change. Bodies morph into unrecognizable abominations. Intellect takes a back seat to ravenous hunger. And all the world's species eat each other toward extinction. Racing against this impending outcome, Peter Crane and his family attempt to reach a laboratory in Boston where a slim hope of saving the human race from extinction exists. But before heading northeast, they must visit the swamps of South Carolina's Hellhole Bay to find a scientist who can help undo the damage done by ExoGen, the corporation that created and unleashed RC-714. Upon reaching Hellhole, the family is captured by a man named Mason, who not only survived the Change, but managed to keep a small community alive as well - a community that is subject to his every carnal desire and whim. Trapped in the clutches of a man whose heart is as twisted as the monsters that roam the Earth, Peter, Ella, Jakob, Anne, and Alia must fight for their freedom from a literal hellhole. Danger lurks behind every door, stalks beneath the swampy waters, and descends from the sky. As enemies - both human and ExoGenetic - close in, surviving will be harder than ever, and for some, impossible.
