Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting is a young rebellious Forerunner. He is a Manipular, untried – yet to become part of the adult Forerunner society, where vast knowledge and duty waits. He comes from a family of Builders, the Forerunners' highest and most politically powerful race. It is the Builders who create the grand technology that facilitates Forerunner dominance over the known universe. It is the Builders who believe they must shoulder the greatest burden of the Mantle – as shepherds and guardians of all life. Bornstellar is marked to become a great Builder, just like his father. But this Manipular has other plans. He is obsessed with lost treasures of the past. His reckless passion to seek out the marvellous artefacts left behind by the Precursors – long vanished superbeings of unknowable power and intent – forces his father's hand. Bornstellar is sent to live among the Miners, where he must come to terms with where his duty truly lies. But powerful forces are at play. Forerunner society is at a major crux. Past threats are once again proving relentless. Dire solutions – machines and strategies never before contemplated – are being called up, and fissures in Forerunner power are leading to chaos. This is a tale of life, death, intergalactic horror, exile, and maturity. It is a story of overwhelming change and of human origins. For the Mantle may not lie upon the shoulders of Forerunners forever.

Humanity has expanded into the stars, but at the price of its freedom. An autocratic Government rigidly controls every technical and scientific advancement; deviation is punishable by death; and out on the edges of space, criminals thwart the law, making money out of illegal tech, their ships jumping from galaxy to galaxy to avoid detection. Ex-soldier Frank Pak doesn't care about politics or breaking the law, he just wants to keep his ship running. When he's offered a contract to escort a runaway back home to his loving family, he doesn't ask questions—but his cargo is more dangerous than he realizes. Jeven Jones is no ordinary passenger—a result of illegal human experimentation, he's a fast-tracked evolutionary leap into the future. Thanks to his ability for perfect recall and a series of mental skills that he has no control over, Jones is a wanted man. The Government wants him dead, while revolutionaries want to use him to unlock every advancement the Government has ever denied them. If Jones lives he'll start a war. If he dies the entire future of humanity dies with him.

Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through. When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead. And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he’s definitely dead. But even in death he’s not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days. Hilarious, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home.
