With shades of Scott Westerfeld's Uglies and Ally Condie's Matched, this cinematic dystopian novel—the first in the thrilling Eye of the Beholder series—is set in a near future society in which "right" and "wrong" are manifested by beauty and ugliness.

In Grace Luther's world, morality is physically enforced. Those who are "good" are blessed with beauty, while those who are not suffer horrifying consequences—disfigurement or even death. The daughter of a cleric, Grace has always had faith in the higher power that governs her world. But when she stumbles onto information that leaves her questioning whether there are more complicated—and dangerous—forces manipulating the people around her, she finds herself at the center of an epic battle, where good and evil are not easily distinguished. Despite all her efforts to live a normal teenage life, Grace is faced with a series of decisions that will risk the lives of everyone she loves—and, ultimately, her own.

With each page in this electrifying debut novel, Sarah Tarkoff masterfully plunges us into a nightmarish vision of the future. Full of high drama and pulsating tension, Sinless explores the essential questions teenagers wrestle with every day—What is beauty? What is faith? Do we take our surroundings at face value and accept all that we have been taught, or do we question the mores of the society into which we are born?—and places them in the context of a dark, dystopian world where appearances are most definitely deceiving.

Scott M. Baker’s first zombie series is now available as a box set!

Eight months have passed since vampires stole the Revenant Virus from a government laboratory and released it on mankind, nearly wiping out both species. In the aftermath, a small band of humans and vampires formed an alliance and rode out the zombie apocalypse in a fort along the coast of southern Maine.

The uneasy coalition is strained with the arrival of the creator of the Revenant Virus, Dr. Compton, who claims to have produced a vaccine that will allow mankind to take back civilization from the living dead. However, it is located in a secure underground facility five hundred miles away outside of Gettysburg.

Mike Robson and Dravko lead a team of humans and vampires, which is protected by Natalie Bazargan’s female zombie killing squad, to retrieve the vaccine. Once out of the confines of their haven, none of them are prepared for the nightmare caused by the outbreak including devastated cities, hordes of rotters, and rape gangs.

Thus begins the Rotter World Saga. Over the next few weeks, the team faces scenarios that test their ability to survive. Mike, Natalie, and Dravko will make life or death choices that will decide not only their fates but the fate of their species, leading to the final battle between the living and the living dead to see who will control the planet.

“With Rotter World, Scott M. Baker pulls out all the stops in a zombie thriller that is brutal, violent and terrifying. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.”—New York Times bestseller Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero

“Think there are no new or original zombie authors? Think again. Scott M. Baker provides an exciting voice and fresh outlook on the undead. Fun, compulsive reading.”—Brian Keene, author of The Rising and City of the Dead

“Scott M. Baker writes in the tradition of J.L. Bourne and Joe McKinney. Fans of thriller writers like Brad Thor will also find powerful, welcome similarities in Rotter World.”—Scott Kenemore, author of Zen of Zombie“

Scott M. Baker has managed to bring together the best of what I love about end of the world, vampire and zombie tales in one glorious story. If you think zombie and vampire stories are overdone and there is not anything new you can do with them, Rotter World proves that theory wrong.”—Peter Schwotzer of Famous Monsters of Filmland

A mysterious boy who is more than he seems may hold the key, and a terrifying zombie queen is building an army. In the fortress town of Little Turtle, Mike and what’s left of civilization prepare for a final stand.

This is the beginning of the end. And Mike’s just the guy to crack a joke while it all burns down.

What does it mean to be a rebel, a hero, or the destroyer of habitat and civilization? As a devastated world recovers from war and plight, an unlikely heroine emerges and attempts to rescue distressed rebels from the government’s corruption controlling the rationed food supply and from a rogue general trying to steal the only known honeybees.

And Earth itself fights back.

Following the Great Uprising of the Millennium, the remaining human population in the Third Continent’s forty-four districts—starved and weakened—are dependent on the Authority. The new power structure that emerged after the war rules by fear and tyranny, confiscating property, and feeding the masses poisoned food.

Yet out of the rubble, rebellious clans who dream of a better future emerge, able to grow their own food because of their secret weapon—the last remaining nest of honeybees. Now a war wages between the rebels and the Authority. X and Y, children of the rebellion, have the key to the rebellion’s success: a download that can bring down the Authority once and for all.

Power hungry and corrupt, the Authority’s General Speer is intent on finding the download, along with the rebels’ bees and food stocks. And he will stop at nothing until he rules all the districts.

The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as X and Y join forces with an unlikely heroine and their allies in a race against time. But in a futurist world where survival is paramount and everyone has an agenda, who can they trust?
