Hanna Jameson’s The Last is a suspense story set in unprecedented times. American history professor Jon Keller realizes his marriage issues aren't as important as he previously thought when he finds himself among strangers during a global crisis.

You may be surprised to learn that some species of fish demonstrate high levels of intelligence. Fish have been known to use tools to crush shells, deceive and manipulate predators, and even use massage to regulate stress.  A fictional creation of author Ned Beauman, the venomous lumpsucker, is the subject and title of a cautionary science fiction novel set in the near future.  

Venomous Lumpsucker paints a bleak but comic portrait of an environmental apocalypse and is part of a growing subgenre of books called eco-thrillers.
