It began with a terrible vision of the future. Compelled by her precognitive abilities, Ia must somehow save her home galaxy long after she’s gone. Now Jean Johnson presents the long-awaited epic conclusion to her national bestselling military science fiction series…
Demoralized, their ship destroyed, Ia’s Damned must fight their way out of a planet-bound blockade and back into space. But there is more happening here on Dabin than meets even Ia’s inner eye.
Some of the Feyori, energy-based beings of vast power and arrogance, are moving to block her efforts under the direction of her counter-faction foe, Miklinn. The Terran Army Division stationed on Dabin is not cooperating with her battle plans. Events are not happening as Ia has foreseen, and too many people are now in grave danger, thanks to alien Meddling.
All these hardships are threatening to derail Ia’s carefully laid plans. The Meddlers, however, have made one fatal mistake:
They’re just making Bloody Mary mad.

Six thousand years ago, the Fall of Man was nothing more than purported fantasy – a fantastical chink in a well-oiled machine called Heaven. And then it happened. The only problem is rumored Eve-incarnate Amelia Strauss doesn't remember. Not the part about being thrown out of Eden, having more power than even the keepers of Heaven themselves; the Seraphim, or even the Adam standing alive in front of her. Now, whether she's ready or not, the past of Heaven's greatest war criminal is back with a vengeance and ready to make up for lost time. Because while Amelia's stuck on how everyone from Heaven to Hell knows her name, and that twenty-foot wide black wings don't come with instruction manuals, not everyone is so elated to find that Eve is still alive. Especially the ones behind The Fall in the first place, the Seraphim. But with each secret Amelia uncovers, she finds that more than just the Seraphim want her dead. The mysterious, new leader of Hell has his own agenda – one with Amelia at the center of it. Now thrust back into the fate she left behind, she soon realizes that some memories are best left buried, and that everything, even freedom, comes at a price – one she'll have to decide if she's willing to pay when Heaven and Hell themselves are the cost.

Newly available in ebook â?? from the Booker Prize-winning author of 'Offshore' and 'The Blue Flower', this is the funny and touching story of Broadcasting House during the Blitz. The human voices of Penelope Fitzgerald's novel are those of the BBC in the first years of the World War II, the time when the Concert Hall was turned into a dormitory for both sexes, the whole building became a target for enemy bombers, and in the BBC â?? as elsewhere â?? some had to fail and some had to die. It does not pretend to be an accurate history of Broadcasting House in those years, but 'one is left with the sensation', as William Boyd said, reviewing it in the 'London Magazine', 'that this is what it was really like.'
