      How did we get here? Where are we going? Those are the questions Josh Driscoll, a teenager living in 'The Station', a city built one kilometer beneath the surface of a frozen, lifeless earth, is determined to answer. Josh comes to believe that the 'Black Heart', a computer complex buried in a sector critically damaged in a massive asteroid strike centuries ago, holds the answers to all his questions, and is vital to their future survival. When the Station's governing Council, of which his own father is a member, announces plans to reconstruct the sector and demolish the Black Heart to make way for badly needed living space, Josh forms a movement and leads a desperate battle to stop the demolition. But can his tiny army thwart the all-powerful Council in time to avert catastrophe? A page-turning fusion of mystery, adventure, and coming-of-age that will keep you absorbed until the final electrifying twist.

      Ex-Homicide Detective Frank Langer's life is a mess. A year ago he was placed on extended medical leave from the Vancouver Homicide Squad after a mental breakdown. Six months later his wife left him. Now he spends his days drinking and chain-smoking, and his nights waking up screaming from a horrific recurring nightmare. The guys at the squad think he's lost it and will probably never return. So when Frank shows up one day with a wild story about a conspiracy to kidnap and murder babies, they pat him on the back and tell him to go home...
