Fourteen-year-old Mary Lanham lives an unremarkable life in the tiny town of Chesset, Arkansas, enduring unhappy days at school and lonely evenings in her hilltop home.

When the stranger in the long, gray cloak creeps out of the forest, a centuries-old mystery begins to unfold. Suddenly, Mary’s life is turned upside down. As the danger grows, she learns the magical secrets of her family’s past and discovers her true destiny, a destiny far greater and more terrifying than anything she could have imagined.

The universe has died.
It has reached its eventual heat death and no further life processes are possible.
But something has gathered all the sentient life-forms that had ever reached a reasonable level of complexity and placed them in a lattice-work sphere around a final star. The truth of their existence is known to a select few, and the ultimate reason for their existence is known to fewer still.
When a nihilistic, malevolent force releases a pathogen designed to end all life, a young girl and some allies must get to the central world to keep her world from being destroyed to stop the spread of the virus.

Meet David Lapiana
A childhood sense of wonder led the author to discover the stories and deeds of the great mythological heroes. Eventually, however, Achilles, Hector, and Theseus, not to mention lesser known characters in Celtic, Germanic and Native American myths led to an enjoyment of such larger-than-life heroes as Superman, Captain America and Thor. The first actual science fiction novel read (at the age of 15) was Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End and with that the author was hooked. Through varied incarnations as a businessman, accountant, construction worker, and various sales positions the urge to write was strong, but not pursued until reaching his fifties.
“My name is Rebel Anne Rae… and I am the last remaining human alive on planet Earth.”
When the robot uprising began, humans fled a planet in cataclysmic decline — mistakenly leaving behind a solitary girl.

Caught between two warring factions, Rebel is forced to decide the fate of the Mech she’s grown to love, or her own people — who want their planet back.
