Summary
"We were the heroes. We were the biggest bullies on the block. We were humanity, for God's sake. No one had ever pushed us around – we were still too vain and conceited to even know there was anyone else out there who could have done the pushing.
In the beginning, after all, the world had only laughed at the notion that the war might last beyond two months. They brought picnics and cameras and threw parties overlooking the battlefields, since most of the invaders didn't use guns; nobody realized yet that they didn't need them. No one had the sense to realize their poor, brave, valiant boys had gone up against the very legions of Hell."

In the dangerous underworld of postwar Prospess, Dave Strider has learned that one's projected lifespan is directly tied to one's ability to make good decisions.
Hopefully, this meant there was a very good reason behind him walking over to start a fight with that gang of nasty bluebloods.

Summary
Since the end of the Great War, everything has changed. The legendarily decadent opium dens and vodka-sodden speakeasies of Constantinople and Saint Petersburg have given way to the glittering palaces and treacherous underworlds of Dersaadet and Prospess. For many of Her Holiest Imperious Condescension's subjects - however much she insists that the title is only a human formality - the second verse is indeed the same as the first: toil, labor, perhaps success or perhaps failure, and in the end an unsung death. By and large this serves to satisfy most everyone. Didn't the Romans have a saying that went something like "Thou shalt not tamper with a working program?" The song goes on, uninterrupted, as it has for eons - a soporific fugue continuing blithely in the same key as the inexorable flow of time.
For a precious few, though, the key shifts and jolts and sings like nails on a chalkboard. None of them ever really wanted to hear it - who would, after all? - and a few of them would actively resist acknowledging what they heard. The first lesson this would teach them would prove to be the most important of all: our destiny is frequently met in the very paths we take to avoid it.

Summary
In the post-catastrophic world of Earth's near future, a sterility plague has nearly extincted mankind. Humanity has defeated the virus, but its effects linger - reproduction is at a standstill. But soon, certain men begin to manifest a rare and unpredictable ability to bear children. As the world races to understand the patterns of manifestation, these Carriers struggle to find their own identity in a changing world - and become the targets of a desperate society.
For former professor Phidias Alexander and his son Cadmus, the Change means traveling away from everything they know, moving halfway across the globe to the home of wealthy businessman Henrik Angstrom and the wild unknown of the Arabian desert. Transitioning into a world of captured brides, arranged marriages, unimaginable luxury, political machinations and mysterious scientists, Phidias slowly comes to know himself - and comes to question his powerful and enigmatic husband.
