Aavekauppiaan tytär
Aavekauppaa taivaan ja helvetin välillä
Singapore Kolmen tärkeimmän teollisuuspomon 15-vuotiaan tyttären sielu jää saapumatta taivaaseen. Rikosetsivä Chen ottaa tapauksen tutkittavakseen, ja pian käy ilmi, että pohatta itse on alkanut pyörittää tuottoisaa aavekauppaa taivaan, helvetin ja maan välillä. Tyttöjä on kadonnut myös helvetissä, joten Chenille määrätään työpariksi demoni, jonka kirouksena on vahva omatunto.
Kuten helvetin luonteeseen sopii, virastojen ja ministeriöiden työntekijät kilpailevat keinoja kaihtamatta keskenään ja ovat valmiit syrjäyttämään johtajansa heti vähäisimmänkin tilaisuuden tullen. Tuulisimmalla paikalla työtään tekee veroministeri: kadonneiden tyttöjen mukana on kadonnut myös merkittävä osa helvetin verotuloista, sillä tyttöjen tarjoamat palvelut houkuttelevat väkeä yli rajojen. Tyttösielut on saatava siis pikimmiten palaamaan!

Empire of Bones
Millions of years ago alien beings seeded Earth with their genetic strands to create a new outpost of intelligent life. Now their descendants have returned to Earth’s skies, drawn by their detection of a Receiver, a human with the genetic ability to tap into alien communications. It is the signal that Earth is ready to be absorbed into a vast galactic empire.
Jaya Nihalani has been a prophet, a crusader, and a terrorist, fighting for the rights of her despised Untouchable caste. Now she lies in an Indian hospital, dying of a hideous disease. Her head is filled with voices and visions; her body is aging rapidly, inexplicably. But the voices and visions are no disease. Jaya is the Receiver whom the aliens intend to heal, enlighten...and use.
Soon the subcontinent erupts in riots and chaos as powerful forces attempt to co-opt the enigmatic alien emissaries, and a shocked world awaits its fate. Jaya must somehow discover the plans of her perfect and powerful “friends.” Have they come to end human suffering, or to make it worse? Should she help them–or lead the impossible fight against them?

In the far-distant future a flooded and shattered Earth is governed by the iron hand of the Martian Matriarchy. Martian warrior Dreams-of-War is not pleased to be dispatched to Earth to guard a young girl called Lunae from an unknown threat. The clone of an extraordinary heritage, Lunae ages with unnatural speed and has the special talent of being able to alter time.
Having arrived at the half-ruined city of Fragrant Harbour where Lunae lives with her malignant grandmothers and a member of the genetically modified race known as the kappa, Dreams-of-War encounters a host of intrigues centring on the sinister presence of an alien mission station nearby. When her protege is nearly assassinated, the Martian warrior is forced to flee with Lunae to the flooded northern islands of what was once Japan. But then the child and the kappa go missing en route, leaving Dreams-of-War determined to return to the plains of Mars in order to discover the truth about Martian rule over Earth, and the nature of the intrigues behind it...
