Thresholder

Alexander Wales

There are others like him — thresholders, always in opposition — and it's becoming clear that hopping from world to world is going to be his way of life. Now he finds himself in a place doing its best impression of Victorian London, facing a new enemy that will test all the knowledge and power he has accumulated so far.

Hive Mind Beyond the Veil

1650th

C47/100
Awakening somewhere completely foreign, with no memory of how or why, a new consciousness finds itself flooded with biological knowledge — how life forms adapt, how cells divide and heal, the microscopic patterns underlying all living things. This strange existence as a hive mind is both a gift and a burden: seeing through countless eyes, feeling through countless senses, understanding each creature within its domain as an extension of itself. In the sequel, reborn into a world where war is the only memory, the hive mind fights, bleeds, dies, and rises again — carrying every lesson from the drones it controls. Having crushed the dregs of the Triumvirate, it now prepares for the greater storm to come.
