After a worldwide disaster strikes Earth, the planet is taken over by a fanatical religious theocracy, intent on maintaining human genetic and religious purity. Scientist Victor Hansen flees with a staff of non-genetically modified humans and young members of his newly created race, the Selkies, to Marseguro, a distant water world. But their peace and freedom is threatened when Chris Keating, a secret Believer seeking revenge on the Selkies for his father's death, activates a distress signal that draws a strike force from Earth-one of whom is Victor Hansen's own grandson, Richard. What Richard Hansen discovers may alter not only his own destiny but that of Marseguro and Earth as well.

On the home world of the bat-like S'sinn, a last-ditch effort is underway to prevent a new war between humanity and the S'sinn that would destroy the multi-race Commonwealth. Jarrikk, a S'sinn, and Kathryn, a human, are both empaths, able to sense others' feelings, and use those skills as Translators. They fear and hate the others' species, but have sworn an oath, so they Link, exchanging memories and emotions. They hit on a dangerous plan to fake Translation. They prevent immediate war, but destroy their abilities in the process. Jarrikk no longer has reason to live, and sets out to perform the suicide he was turned away from years before. Kathryn fails to prevent his attempt, but manages to save his life - and in the process creates a one-of-a-kind bond with him even stronger than that created by the symbiote. They risk everything to stop their own races from engulfing the galaxy in war - and perhaps save each other in the process.

Angela Merkel (World Leaders (Paperback Set of 6))

From an Aurora Award-winning author comes the second book in a gripping portal fantasy series in which one woman's powers open the way to a labyrinth of new dimensions.
Shawna Keys has fled the world she only recently discovered she Shaped, narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Adversary who seized control of it...and losing her only guide, Karl Yatsar, in the process.
Now she finds herself alone in some other Shaper's world, where, in her first two hours, she's rescued from a disintegrating island by an improbable flying machine she recognizes from Jules Verne's Robur the Conqueror, then seized from it by raiders flying tiny personal helicopters, and finally taken to a submarine that bears a strong resemblance to Captain Nemo's Nautilus. Oh, and accused of being both a spy and a witch.
Shawna expects--hopes!--Karl Yatsar will eventually follow her into this new steampunky realm, but exactly where and when he'll show up, she hasn't a clue.
In the meantime, she has to navigate a world where two factions fanatically devoted to their respective leaders are locked in perpetual combat, figure out who the Shaper of the world is, find him or her, and obtain the secret knowledge of this world's Shaping. Then she has to somehow reconnect with Karl Yatsar, and escape to the next Shaped world in the Labyrinth...through a Portal she has no idea how to open.
