PAINE
Marianne Venker has gone missing.
In desperation, her wealthy father employs an unorthodox agency to find her, and they in turn call on Robert Paine.
Paine has a knack. Paine can do things that other people can't, can find things seemingly lost, can uncover clues where none seemingly existed.
Unbeknownst to all, Paine can read minds.
It is not a gift he has ever asked for, or ever wanted. It is something that has left him with an aversion to all humanity. He doesn't want to hear everyone's thoughts, he doesn't want to know what everyone is thinking; because of his talent, he can't possibly have a normal life. He simply wants to be left alone.
But even psychics have to earn a living.
Using his unusual talent, Paine talks to the people in Marianne's life, gradually piecing together the events leading up to her disappearance. At the same time, with the help of a neuroscientist, he begins to discover what it is that gives him the ability to read other people's thoughts.
Can Paine save Marianne Venker?
Can he save himself?

THE DUPLICANT
Dr Rebecca 'Beck' Caulder is a specialist in Congenital Disorders.
So why has she been called in by the government to help with an investigation into a possible viral outbreak?
Even though a number of animals have died, there are only two human fatalities...and they are twins.
Strange then that there is no record that one of the men ever existed.
A step by step scientific investigation by Beck into the outbreak leads her to the conclusion that what she and the Outbreak Control Team are looking into is not an outbreak at all, but something far more mysterious.
​
THE FIRST PEOPLE
By his own admission, Andrew Rendell is far from exemplary, and the life he leads in the small town of Bramsworth is very ordinary.
But when he wakes one morning to find that there is no TV, no internet, no working phones, and that every road out of Bramsworth is blocked, Andrew begins to suspect that his ordinary life is not so ordinary after all. With the help of his friends, Andrew attempts to find out why the town of Bramsworth is being kept in the dark.
Andrew Rendell's life is ordinary, but what he discovers is the most incredible adventure anyone has ever known.
