    Deserts to ocean. The rules of engagement themselves. Emotions. Superior officer to… something more?

    Everything was always changing.

    Brad had been warned not to let his emotions take over, but these emotions in particular shouldn’t even have existed.

    Collins shot him a cool look. "My attending told me to either erase my measurements and use yours or to make sure any new measurements came in under 11 weeks."

    Shit. Jack rubbed the bridge of his nose. "This is why I did the fucking measurements myself," he muttered. Because if they had just used his numbers, there would be no problem; he'd documented everything that needed to be documented and if anyone made an issue of it, then it'd fall on him. No one else.

    "So sorry for being thorough," Collins said, pointed.

    Summary

    When Peace Corps assigns Nate to East Timor, a tiny half-island in eastern Indonesia, he figures he'll have a lot of time to catch up on his reading. But the year is 1999, and the shock fall of military dictator Suharto is still reverberating throughout the country, triggering changes nobody ever thought possible. As East Timor moves inexorably towards freedom – or war – Nate is drawn into events that will define the future of the province forever.

    Summary

    The year is 2281 and the world is a radioactive wasteland populated by scavengers and survivors. Las Vegas is miraculously still standing, a slightly battered, semi-repaired jewel of the Mojave Wasteland, and it's about 30 miles south of the New Vegas Strip that a courier is robbed, shot and left to die alone.

    That's where the story begins.

    Summary

    NATE was made to learn. Brad made him changeable and curious. He gave him a beautifully engineered sense of logic and a painstakingly crafted starter set of words and actions and a truly staggering amount of free memory.

    And then he switched NATE on six months ago, and all bets were off.
