A disgraced entertainer, after years in isolation, emerges to lead a violent revolt in the street of Las Vegas.The Isle of Minimus is a neon mirage from the heart of the sandblasted Nevada wasteland, a panorama of crazy dictators, dreamy acrobats, the urban warlords of Hollywood, video game cults, sinister boatmen, rogue airshow pilots, feral tourists, minituarised landmarks, opium dens, pop art, nuclear war, architecture, music, money, the sixties, the nineties, the post-nineties..a story of limitless scope and spectacle. Using repetition, paradox and association, the novel leaves conventional views of linearity behind as it revisits the World's Fair in Montreal 1967 and its antithesis, Las Vegas in 1999, by way of a confrontation in which a cast of dwarves fight their way out of the now-never capitalist ontology in an attempt to find a way back into history.

The sexual tension between us had been too much to bear. In a single moment, everything about my relationship with my billionaire stepbrother changed. When James saw the IOU, when he heard my plan, something within him snapped. He crossed a line, committed acts that society would consider forbidden.

Still, the jerk inside my stepbrother remained. When he sent me to his apartment to wait for him, I obeyed. Every moment that we spent apart, I touched my belly. I thought about our future together if I did become pregnant. And as he took me again and again, the same thought kept racing through my mind.

Asylum is the third book in the Loralynn Kennakris series. It contains two installments: Wogan’s Reef and Asylum; presented together in one volume.
WOGAN’S REEF: War is all hell... and there’s no place like home.
It’s been a rough year for the Nereidian League in its war against the Dominion of Halith. The Doms have had pretty much everything their own way since the beginning. The League’s Colonial Expeditionary Forces have been forced to bend repeatedly, but they have yet to break.
For Ensign Loralynn Kennakris, Lieutenant Commander Rafael Huron, and a Marine captain named Minerva Lewis, the time for bending is over. They’re in a mood to start breaking things, and they don’t much care if they have to go through hell to do it.
ASYLUM: Armed. Dangerous. And nothing left to lose . . .
First they called her a hero. Then they called her a medical problem. Now they’re calling her a criminal. It’s been an exciting first year of active duty for Lieutenant Loralynn Kennakris.
She started it by proving herself to be the League’s most promising young fighter pilot. She’s earned decorations and gained both admirers and enemies. But those rumors wouldn’t go away: dangerous mental instability, hostile tendencies, latent psychosis. Pushed too far, she did the unforgivable, and her enemies finally have the excuse they have been waiting for.
They are right about one thing, though: Kris is dangerous, and now she has nothing left to lose.
