Heya, friend. Rusty here, coolin' my heels in the frostiest snowstorm in the stars. See, our latest job is on an ice moon where the forecast is 24/7 blizzard, with a hundred-percent chance of "Heck no, you ain't flying in this."

Let me tell ya, ain't nothin' can plow through a frozen alien tundra like nine tons of American steel.

Howdy, friend. I'm Rusty, and so is my big-rig's engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't expecting to get a tow from an alien mothership. But the next thing I knew, me and my buddy Mike were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see. Turns out aliens are mighty friendly folks, but they can't fix their tech to save their lives.

Paul Mitchell wasn't sure how things could get any worse. Sure, he'd been booted from the Marine Corps and was forced to work as a freelancer because he couldn't hold down a regular job. He'd signed on with a mysterious crew of women, sailed across the void, and met interesting aliens and new people who tried to kill him. Against all odds, he'd somehow found himself stuck between a criminal psycho, Naval Intelligence, and a drop-dead gorgeous skipper who actually liked him. He'd even pulled a regular Prince Charming and saved a damsel in distress.

Have you ever had a bad day? Sergeant Paul Mitchell had. It was the kind of bad day where nothing went right, everything that could go wrong went wrong, and everyone died. He knew that was always a possibility in the marines, but it really sucked when it happened to you: it wasn't your fault, and you still took the fall for everything. With his career dead and buried, he's forced to make it as a freelancer; a jack of all trades but a master of none. Just when he thought life couldn't get any worse a couple of stupid kids proved him wrong...again.

You might think a month away from fighting sentient cubical supplies in a threatening alt-reality office would mean a break for James Lyle. But . . . you'd be wrong. Even though James has taken a beat from adventuring into the dungeon hidden within the stairwell of his workplace, he's been dealing with plenty of stress-inducing issues, from raising a recently corporeal infomorph to navigating his newly minted relationship with his best friends, fighting his own depression, and wrestling with the moral implications of his burgeoning powers.

Life inside the Protection Zone is thrilling beyond imagination. Every day I am drowning in luxury, adventure, and more beautiful women than I can count, a dream scenario if I can stay focused. But bikini-clad distractions are everywhere, and I can feel my attention slipping. But while all the rampant hedonism is awesome, I need to focus my efforts on building new and improved weapons that we can sell for untold sums of money. Also, some of the women hadn't formally accepted my marriage proposals, so I wanted to focus on that as well.

Howdy, bud. It's Rusty. Like any space trucker worth his stardust, I know a fella's ship is more than a machine, it's your home sweet home. Our rig Nessie's got everything we need to haul cargo across the galaxy, but when it comes to creature comforts, she's about as cozy as sharing a sleeping bag with a wet porcupine. And it ain't just the decor that needs work. Our old girl has more mechanical problems than a used car lot run by Evel Knievel.

Jimmy had it all: wealth, power, and a complete lack of empathy. Then his father—the one man who tolerated his sociopathic tendencies—cut him off, forcing him into the horror of employment. After a string of job failures (some involving homicidal plants), Jimmy reluctantly starts absorbing life lessons as an ivory tower wanderer. Over time, he evolves into something resembling a functional human being.

Nothing ever happened to her. And then everything did. Esme Good is an unremarkable young woman working a dull job in a city much like the one you're picturing now. Her only escape is The Elsewheres: tiny potions which allow her to visit alternate versions of herself. Sadly, these only confirm...

Rusty here, back on the galactic road with another cargo bay full of surprises. This time around, we're haulin' an alien carnival, complete with rides to make ya scream, games to bruise your ego, and enough sweet treats to give a dentist night terrors. And once it's up and runnin', we plan to enjoy every last thrill, spill, and sugar crash with our friends. Let me tell ya, there's nothin' like sharing a roller-coaster with a bark-skinned daredevil, a blob with motion sickness, and a robot who screams like dial-up internet.

Breath of Life is the story of a strange being who wakes up into the bones of a lost civilization, worshiped by the primitive aliens who discover her. The gentle illusions quickly take a dark turn for the deadly when she learns just what plans the diabolical Archon has in store for her. Now, a crazed outcast and a small band of jaded soldiers must flee with her into the horrors of Aratta, hunted every step of the way in this pulse-pounding quest to unravel the secrets of creation... before creation unravels.

Heya, pal. It's Rusty, and I'm just as surprised as you are. Right when me and Piper thought we'd had the wildest adventure in the cosmos, Mike and Jenna waltzed in, dressed to the nines, with grins on their faces and a yarn of their own to spin. See, Jenna’s got feelings for Mike she ain’t ready to share, but you can't play hard-to-get when one of your passengers is a big blue slug who can read your emotions like an interstate billboard. Toss in Karlie and Feebee, the galaxy’s most lovable agents of mayhem, and things go off the rails faster than a circus train on ice.
