1. Travelers
No one fights dirtier than an archaeologist.
Dr. Nel Bently has barely dug into Chile’s dry earth when her pristine site is vandalized. Her archaeologist’s dream of a ground-breaking project funded by a private patron turns into a nightmare: local activists Los Pobladores take issue with anyone brave–or stubborn–enough to set boots on their land. And foul-mouthed Nel is stubborn as they come.
Despite the danger, Nel refuses to surrender her site to vandals. Easier said than done, however, with the greenest crew she’s ever trained, absurd radiocarbon dates, and angry militants who may actually have a point.
When Los Pobledores land a blow that turns Nel’s world upside down, she realizes her mysterious benefactor is playing chess with their lives. Grief-stricken and angrier than ever, Nel is ready to fight dirty.
2. Drifters
The only person on Earth Nel trusts … is in space.
Archaeologist Nel Bently left Chile in the wake of murder, vandalism, and UFO sightings. Then, just as her teaching semester begins, cops are at her door. Accused of a murder she’s fairly certain she didn’t commit, Nel has no choice but to go on the run. She flees across New England, following her gut and clues left by her elusive alien-benefactor-turned-almost-girlfriend.
But running from the law isn’t easy with only her field pack and a handful of scorned exes to depend on. Between starvation, untraceable texts, and a harrowing journey through the wilderness, Nel is forced to question everything about the science she loves and the people she trusted.
3. Strangers
Sound kills, so how can Nel get the world to listen?
Archaeologist Nel Bently dreamed of finding a ground-breaking site–she just never thought it would be on another planet. When she arrives on Samsara however, Lin confesses that the trip took longer than Nel thought. Two years longer. She throws her anger and homesickness into her work, wondering if she just made the biggest mistake of her life.
Then a lead officer on her team takes a walk without his atmosuit. Once again, confusion and grief rock Nel’s dig. But this time, she’s determined to fix it–even if it means mutiny. Lightyears separate her from home and as Samsara’s body count rises, the more it looks like Earth is next.
4. Heretics
Without Earth, Nel has nowhere left to run
Hot-tempered Dr. Nel Bently is not cut out to save the world. After her last project ended in fire and death, Nel must put aside distrust of just about everyone and embark on a lo-fi search for a deadly radio transmission. Except Earth’s survivors are torn between the austere superpower of IDH and the high-tech, grassroots Los Pobledores.
More allies go missing at every turn, and Nel questions where her true loyalties lie–and on which side Lin will fall when a line is finally drawn. They need experts. They need firepower. But it looks like the only thing standing between Earth and devastation is Nel: archaeologist, asshole, and functioning alcoholic with anger issues.
