Still in the Dreamscape, or the mental realm, Alia makes a breakthrough. And then she finds herself in a place that might be familiar to frequent readers, where she meets a man with no face, or none that she can see. The quest for the Rainbow Road continues now.
The Hyperion (Amazing Alia, the Alia Bk. ^): “Alia kneels, the metal at her knee clangs against the shining rock, and she yells loudly as she balls a metal fist and positions it over the rock in front of her. As she yells, a wind seems to pick up and causes her hair to flail up in the chaos. And then she punches the shining rock and her fist sinks down to her elbow as rocks and bolts of light explode around it. Then the glow of the rock dims as Alia’s fist is still inside and she yells until the rock is dull gray and lifeless.”

Wendy’s nemesis from her first book is back. The witch Miriro is involved in the current mystery and we flashback a little to see how that happened. Oh, and Rhode was there being useless. Plus! Nebuchad speaks! Or does he?
When the Dead Die (The Brave Chimutengwende Bk. 2): “On an afternoon, a few months ago, when Miriro was watching Rhode sleep, there was a knock at his apartment door. She knew that the sound wouldn’t be enough to wake him, she had pushed him hard the night before to separate from his physical body and hold his spirit energies in the shape of his body for as long as he could manage. When the knocking at the door continued for a couple minutes, Miriro became curious and walked through the front door.”

Maria is on Wiis with Whadgaf and they are having a proper space adventure. Kal is their guide helping them to navigate the foreign world to acquire information that they think will save a lot of innocent people. And Maria takes a drastic step in the darker direction.
Further Ascension (Darker Maria Bk. 1): “The canopy city of Waquis is spectacular and Maria never wants to leave. It’s hard for her to believe that the city is constructed hundreds of feet over the surface; there are elaborate wooden walkways large enough for pedestrian and motor vehicle travel that connect to wooden residential and commercial buildings constructed among the leaves and branches.”

Detective Young gets disappointing news, and Falon is working hard to send a message. The mystery continues as Falon gets closer to the man who can give her answers. But this man is mad, in more ways than one.
Old Man Young and the Con Man’s Daughter: “You tell them to go to war and you tell them who started it. I want everybody to know that Clete is my muscle. If they want this to stop, they gotta take me out. And I won’t stop unless I get a sit down with Yuri.”

Darker has a new existence on Eel that feels strangely mysterious to him, but he is getting to know Kazi Fandral who wants to show him the way to Ife-Osu, the everything and the nothing. It’s not the death he was after, but it will do in a pinch.
To Oblivion (Limited Series): “…Darker feels that in their efforts to keep him calm and relaxed, the Kazi are keeping things from him and he doesn’t really trust the peace of the place. He has met only a few Eeling who are not Kazi and he hasn’t left the Tetah District, home to the Master Dōjō of the Kazi, since he arrived there. He doesn’t feel like a prisoner, he just wonders why they aren’t willing to explain things plainly. Like when he asks why he can’t see Alia.”

Worthington is after a business relationship with the unhinged Yuri James. He needs two things to make that happen; a car and an in. Manuel is back, hardly himself, and then there is Chau, Yuri’s housekeeper who is not at all what she seems.
Made in America (Series 2): “Manuel had his pick of any of them; he volunteered to drive Worthington to Knoxville, Tennessee, and the car he chose had to be large enough for himself, his partner Adam, and Dr. Worthington.”
