The third and final book of the ground-breaking Decimation trilogy Against all odds, Antimone Lessing has twice escaped from those who want to understand how she survived the deadly Orestes virus. But the greatest threat to her life still lies ahead. The world knows the pandemic originated in a British laboratory. Keen to enhance the country's damaged reputation, the Prime Minister sets up an international research effort to rid the planet of the disease once and for all. But not everybody is working towards the same goal. As past and present collide, Antimone once again finds herself sucked into a conspiracy that could spell the end of the human race.

How far would you go to save the human race? In 2017 a virus sweeps across the world and infects every living person. It lies dormant until a woman gives birth. Then she dies. Fifteen years later, nobody has survived childbirth since the outbreak began. Teenage wheelchair athlete, Antimone Lessing, thought she would be competing at the Delhi 2032 Paralympics. Instead, she is nine months pregnant and commencing labour. When she unexpectedly survives, she becomes a vital clue in the race to develop a cure before the global population declines beyond the point of no return. But survival comes at a price. As her doctors try to understand why she is still alive, she must choose between preserving humanity's future and protecting the life of her newborn child.

I can see the colour of your soul. Annalise Becker wakes from an eleven month coma with the ability to sense a person's aura. But why won't her family tell her what happened? What dark secret is her mother hiding? And why is there a guard outside her hospital room? Hunted by a psychopathic killer and accused of a crime she can't remember, she must use her new skill to separate the truth from the lies before it is too late.

I should never have read the note. I certainly shouldn't have logged in. Now they want to kill me. Schoolteacher, Alex Parrott, discovers a scrap of paper containing the address, username and password for a site on the Dark Web. He gives in to temptation and learns that the website deals in assassination contracts. The Dark Web is supposed to be anonymous, but somebody knows what Alex has seen. Within hours, a ruthless hitman is hot on his trail. To make matters worse, the police issue a warrant for his arrest, identifying him as the main suspect in a string of horrific murders. Unsure who he can trust, Alex must stay alive long enough to uncover the truth and clear his name.
