An Audience for Einstein: Professor Percival Marlowe is a brilliant, elderly
astrophysicist who's dying, his greatest achievement still unfinished and
now beyond his diminished means. Doctor Carl Dorning, a neurosurgeon,
finally discovers a secret method of transplanting memories from one
person to another, thanks to Marlowe's millions. Miguel Sanchez, a
homeless boy, agrees to become the recipient of Marlowe's knowledge and
personality in this unorthodox experiment, enticed by Dorning's promises of
intelligence, wealth and respect, but dangerously unaware that his own
identity will be lost forever. What results is a seesaw battle for control of
Miguel's body, as Marlowe learns to his dismay what his lifetime of
arrogance and conceit has earned him. And when Marlowe stumbles upon
the shocking procedure Dorning used in desperation to succeed, the
professor does what he must to defeat Dorning and redeem himself at last.

Black and White: Once best friends at an elite superhero training academy,
Jet--are now mortal enemies. Jet is a by-the-book hero, using her Shadow
power to protect the citizens of New Chicago. Iridium, with her mastery of
Light, runs the city's underworld. For years the two have played a dangerous
game of cat and mouse.
But now playtime's over. A looming evil threatens both them and the world
they share. As Jet works with a "normal" man who has an extraordinary
ability to make her weak in the knees, Iridium teams with a mysterious
vigilante called Taser. Both Jet and Iridium are convinced that the other
woman is the key to a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions.
And one of them is right.
