The Equinox
Summary
It has existed for centuries. A dark curse held captive by an ancient ritual, a creature of insatiable hunger possessing the ability to change shape at will. During the spring and fall equinox it would break through the walls separating our worlds to feed. Now it walks among us, unrestrained, and very hungry. Daniel Blackbird has been chasing the murderous shapeshifter known as The Walker across North America for over a decade. From north of the 60th parallel to the city of Chicago and into the heartland of a small midwestern town in Manitoba, Blackbird follows unrelenting, obsessed with vengeance. In its wake, the Walker leaves a bloody trail of eviscerated victims along the path. Blackbird finds himself drawn to the prairie town of Thomasville where a string of child murders is being investigated. There, the chief of police, David Logan has uncovered a mass grave in the cornfield of a local farmer named Stephen Hopper. Hopper has confessed, even identified the graves, but claims that he is merely the caretaker of this macabre burial ground and that a creature who he thinks is the devil is responsible. As Chief Logan grapples with the unthinkable, Blackbird sets out for the prairie town which, as the equinox approaches, is destined to become a killing ground where cultures and worlds will collide. Will he get there in time? And who will believe him?

The Return: The Darwin's World Series, Book 4
Summary
Life on Earth prime is easy - too easy. There are no challenges, virtually no unrealized desires.
People interact largely through personal communicators, a 25th century version that combines the personal computer and the cell phone. Much of the interaction is done through the worldwide semi-sentient computer net known as Central. Prime's population is declining. The primary cause of death is self-termination. Few children are being born.
The futurists, aided by Central, conceive a desperate gamble: retrieve people from the past, from a time when populations were growing. Reconstitute their failing bodies, then winnow out those who might have the qualities Prime needs. Transplant the selected persons to Earth on a parallel dimension, an ice-age version of Earth where humans didn't survive. This is Darwin's World, a world where survival depends on personal qualities and a certain amount of luck. A world of bloody anarchy, where humans are prey, not predator; a world of not only lions and grizzlies but the even large shortfaced bears, sabertooth cats, and packs of calf-size dire wolves.
The plan is to transplant the survivors to Earth Prime, but there's only one problem: They like it on Darwin's World. Some are willing to visit Prime, but they have no desire to remain. Bear, a child born on Darwin's World, has spent years on Prime, educating himself. Task completed, he intends to return to Darwin's World soon. The futurists, a group on Earth Prime who are attempting to reverse Earth's population decline, ask him to escort two of Earth's few children to Darwin's World, where they'll hopefully pick up the qualities that have disappeared from Earth Prime; ambition, curiosity, determination to survive, and hopefully produce children themselves. But...among the helpers are three sisters. Teenagers, Titian-haired triplets - and trouble. Bear is just what they've been looking for! Poor Bear; you just know he's going to have his hands full!

Into the Woods
Summary
Into the Woods is a novel of suspense set in the late 16th century by Josh Soule. John, Thomas, and Henry had grown up in the small village of Carn and were now adults and still the best of friends. They were each different. John's artistic inclinations had led him to leave their village to study art in Paris, but while he knew he would always miss that city, he was coming home to Carn for good. And while they had played together as kids as they were growing up in Carn, some things didn't change. The woods were still as dark and foreboding as they had been years earlier, when the three friends would dare each other to enter. The ancient legends of evil monsters still lingered in the minds of each of them. Thomas had taken to staying awake at night now to protect his herd from predators, yet a moment's rest had given something ample time to slaughter one of his cows. Thomas wanted the men of Carn to rise up and confront the beast, but the others were not so sure. When the three friends unite to solve this mystery, they soon discover that the truth about the creature is much more troublesome than they ever feared.
