The Iamos Trilogy Series

His past is her future. Life on Mars isn't all it's cracked up to be when you're Isaak Contreras. Ever since his dad disappeared two years ago, Isaak's been struggling to keep up in school, and he never seems to be able to live up to his mom's high expectations. But everything changes when he finds an ancient coin among his missing father's possessions. The coin makes him a target of both the Martian colonial government and a crazed scientist with a vendetta—and it leads him to a girl from another time named Nadin, who believes that Isaak might just hold the key to saving both their worlds. That is, if they can survive long enough to use it...   ★ An Indie Author Project Select Book! ★ A Queer Books for Teens Recommended Book!

Everything changed when Isaak disappeared. Henry, Tamara and Scylla know GSAF had something to do with it—they just need to prove it. The only problem is, crossing GSAF can get a person killed. Especially if Joseph Condor has anything to say about it... Set during the events of FOURTH WORLD, Book One of the Iamos Trilogy, DIFFERENT WORLDS is an action-packed dystopian that tells the story of the people left behind.

What makes something worth living for? What makes something worth dying for? Marin thought she knew the answer. As an Enforcer, she knows that she—and everyone on Iamos—lives for the geroi. But all that changes when she meets a young farmer's apprentice named Eos, who tells her about a legendary city called Elytherios. Will Marin choose a life of comfort in the upper castes of the geroi's citidomes? Or will she follow Eos' dangerous path to freedom, no matter the cost?   Originally published in Ama-gi Magazine in 2014, this award-winning short story laid the groundwork for what was to become The Iamos Trilogy and features characters Isaak and Nadin encounter on their journey. Set thirty Martian years (about fifty-six Earth years) before the events of the main series, "The Choice" shows us what life was like on Iamos in the early years after the Progression, and gives us a glimpse of the burgeoning rebellion that would come to a head in Nadin's lifetime.

MARS, 2075 C.E. Isaak has returned from Iamos, but life hasn't exactly gone back to normal. In what felt like a month to him, two years passed in the world he left behind—and now that he's home, he's not sure if he knows what home is anymore. Mars has become a world of riots and police states, with GSAF doing everything in their power to clamp down on the burgeoning rebellion started by Isaak's once-best friend, Henry Sandhu. It doesn't take long before he realizes that maybe coming back to Mars wasn't such a good idea. But unless they can find a way to get to the time postern—currently guarded by heavily-armed GSAF agents—Isaak is stuck in the future... and so is Nadin. Nadin thought that the future would hold her answers, but everything changed the moment they passed through the door. All she wants now is to return to Iamos and make sure that her partner, Ceilos, is safe. But once her identity as a native Martian gets out, she finds herself caught in a political struggle she doesn't understand, with both factions trying to win her over to their side. And when GSAF learns that Nadin holds the key to deciphering the mysterious System, they'll stop at nothing to keep her on Mars—permanently.

IAMOS, S.C.D. 8378 One choice was all it took to put two worlds in jeopardy—but that choice could be the thing that saves them both.   By choosing to betray the geroi, Nadin saved the lives of her friends in the future, but it may have cost her own. Imprisoned and sentenced to a fate worse than death, her only hope of rescue may lie in trusting the one person her heart tells her to distrust most: Ceilos, her one-time partner and a traitor in his own right. But accepting Ceilos' help may be the only hope Nadin has of reuniting with Isaak… and saving both Iamos and Mars.   Time is running out. Something is coming, something powerful enough to change the face of the entire solar system. If Nadin and Isaak can't figure out how to stop it, all of Iamos will be destroyed.   Little do they know that's been the Liberator's plan all along…
