A killer cyborg on the loose. A daughter’s life on the line. And one man’s secret will decide all of their fates…

Or is it already too late?
The S1-R3N prototype is the ideal cybernetic soldier. But when it malfunctions during its public debut, it kills its handlers and the buyers in attendance for its unveiling.
Now Dr. Grant Andrews, the scientist responsible for creating the S1-R3N, is the only one who can stop it.
But the S1-R3N is determined to get to Grant first, by any means necessary–including going after Grant’s teenage daughter, Alexis.
Will Grant be able to protect his daughter from the cyborg’s murderous intentions? Or will the S1-R3N send him to meet his maker?
You’ll love S1-R3N because it’s a thrilling sci-fi short story with a touch of horror, told primarily through a series of text message conversations. If you like Terminator, Robocop, and other cyborg stories, you’ll love S1-R3N.

DESCRIPTION:
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • THE EMMY AWARD–WINNING HBO MINISERIES STARRING FRANCES MCDORMAND, RICHARD JENKINS, AND BILL MURRAY
In a voice more powerful and compassionate than ever before, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout binds together thirteen rich, luminous narratives into a book with the heft of a novel, through the presence of one larger-than-life, unforgettable character: Olive Kitteridge.
At the edge of the continent, Crosby, Maine, may seem like nowhere, but seen through this brilliant writer’s eyes, it’s in essence the whole world, and the lives that are lived there are filled with all of the grand human drama–desire, despair, jealousy, hope, and love.
At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the world at large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance: a former student who has lost the will to live: Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.
As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life–sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition–its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.

Something doesn’t want the inhabitants of an isolated mountain town to leave.
When local hermit Maul Thorndean disappears, Sheriff Joe Moorefield finds his cabin in a bewildering state. All of the surrounding trees have turned white and brittle and are leaning towards the cabin. There is blood on the floor but no sign of Maul.
The dying of the trees spreads and soon the townspeople are encircled by ash grey trees with limbs that wont allow them to leave. That’s when the people begin to disappear.
As Sheriff Joe Moorefield tries to figure out what is going on, while at the same time trying to keep his people sane, it becomes increasingly clear that the trees are the least of his worries.
