The latest theories in neuroscience hold that our perception of reality is not dominated by sensory inputs, but rather is largely created by our own mind. In effect, we live in a hallucination of our own making, supported only minimally by what our eyes see or our ears hear. Ever drive all the way home from work and realize that you couldn't recall the trip at all? -almost like it didn't happen? Now fast-forward to the future when technology will interact directly with your mind. Who will control the hallucination then? And with what sort of deadly consequences?

Jackie Morse Kessler’s Riders of the Apocalypse series follows teens who are transformed into the Four Horsemen of the  Apocalypse.

In the second book of the series, Rage, a teenage cutter becomes War, one of the Riders of the Apocalypse.

Missy didn’t mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don’t find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different.

That’s why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade—a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it’s with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control.

A unique approach to the topic of self-mutilation, Rage is the story of a young woman who discovers her own power and refuses to be defeated by the world.

Rage includes a teaser chapter of the next book in the Riders of the Apocalypse series, Loss.

Against all odds, a disparate group of survivors has emerged from that blood-soaked night that devastated the planet and reduced humanity to an endangered species. Among the survivors are two ex-Army Rangers, a businesswoman, and a third-year medical student. But surviving The Purge was one thing - staying alive is another matter entirely. Hope exists in the countryside, in the form of a self-sustaining underground facility designed to withstand any calamity. But in order to reach its safety, the survivors must travel hundreds of treacherous miles, with the night - and the creatures that dwell within it - always at their backs.

The rules are simple: stay out of the dark, load up on silver bullets, and whatever you do, STAY ALIVE. The road to salvation has begun ...

The world was changed overnight when scientists developed a compound that extended the human lifespan indefinitely. The Enoch Pill was distributed free of charge, once a month, to the furthest corners of the globe. Everyone was about to live forever.

Well, almost everyone.

When 18-year-old Kizzy Cartwright learned she was immune to the immortality-giving pill, it made her a social outcast. And when an accident on her farm caused the death of her best friend, the blame fell squarely on her shoulders.

To avoid execution, Kizzy's only hope is to find the missing scientist who invented the Enoch compound, in the hopes that he can find a cure for death once more. But time is running out...

Michael and Jamie live in Dome 17. The last place safe for humans, or any life, on a dying earth. They are adventurers who have explored other domes, but everywhere else is dead. Will Dome 17 meet the same fate? The committee has a risky plan to try out unproven technologies: a faster than light scout ship, and teleportation. Both technologies have severe limits. Only two people can be carried aboard those FTL scout ships for a one-way journey, Teleportation can only work when a receiving pad is at the target location. So, can they make both these technologies work to save the last of humanity? One hundred years before, the people of earth had built gigantic colony ships with enclosed habitats. They were filled with flora and fauna and people. These ships were launched into space knowing it would take generations to reach other solar systems. Those space pioneers would live out their lives in transition to a new world. But the colony ship program was considered a dismal failure. All of the colony ships were considered lost. Will Michael and Jamie travel to one of the colony ships? Will it be a derelict? Or will it be a chance for a new home for humanity? What will they find as they try the recovery of a colony ship?
