A lot can change in a century, and Silo 49 has transformed from a dying silo into one filled with life and hope. Graham set Silo 49 free from the machinations of Silo One and the control of the WOOL agenda in Silo 49: Going Dark. Since then, they have been alone and one their own, with no one to guide them...or suppress them. Their silo has changed for the better, but a gentler and kinder lie is still a lie and the truth waits to be found.

Marina is a Fabricator, a worker of metal, and has been tasked with reclaiming the silver of the silo from private hands to replenish the diminishing vault stocks. Among the curiosities turned in, she finds something that should not exist and that begins a search for the most elusive thing in the silo…the truth. Long buried truths aren't the only things unearthed during her single-minded pursuit. Crime, memory-wipes, and even death will stalk the eternal stairwell of the silo.

Silo 49 has endured. In Going Dark they freed themselves from the control of Silo 1. In Deep Dark they discovered their forgotten past. In the third installment of the Silo 49 series, all that they have worked for through many generations finally comes to fruition.

Lillian and Leo - cousins and best friends - enter the lists for the 89th Race in Silo 49. The prize they seek is the singular honor of running outside, with no boundaries and no walls to hem them in. But the run is much more than a simple, but risky, trip outside to map their surroundings. The silo is falling apart, age and wear showing in every crack and seam. If the Others will not die out and let the world be reborn, then they must seek a way around the Others and find the blue skies for themselves.

Robots. Androids. Artificial Intelligence. Scientists predict that the "singularity" -- the moment when mankind designs the first greater-than-human intelligence -- is nearly within our grasp. Believe it or not, truly sentient machines may be a reality within as little as 20 years.

Will these "post-human" intelligences be our friends? Our servants? Our rivals? What will we learn from them? What will they learn from us? Will we allow them to lead their own lives? Will they have basic human rights? Will we?

Science and society will be forced to address these questions sooner than you think. But science fiction is addressing these questions today. In The Robot Chronicles, thirteen of today's top sci-fi writers explore the approaching collision of humanity and technology.

The World is Dead. One Will Rise.

Eighteen year old Emily has a system. She wakes, eats, brushes her teeth, then spends the morning bashing the monsters that gather at her fences. That’s labeled as cardio on her schedule. Vigorous cardio.

The problem isn’t staying alive anymore. It’s being alone. Two years of solitude while surrounded by death is too much. When she starts having deep conversations with the birds roosting on her roof, she realizes she’s in real trouble.

Going beyond her fences means almost certain death, but if she stays inside, insanity will eventually take her. When one of the monsters at her gate turns out to be the bearer of a message, Emily feels hope for the first time since the end came. There are others out there, but they’re in trouble and they won’t survive much longer without some help.

If Emily can brave a trip through the mad, dead world, she might have a shot at a real life. She just has to survive the trip, and that’s not going to be easy.

Between Life and Death: The In-Betweener is book one of the exciting post-apocalyptic adventure trilogy, Between Life and Death. This book can be read first, or you can dive back to the beginning of the end and read the prequel, Between Life and Death: The Book of Sam.
