Books with author S.M. Baker

Bennett Monroe has had a very bad day. For most that would mean spilling coffee down one's shirt or running late for work. Bennett's bad days involved being torn into a different time. With a companion who may like him or try to kill him, depending on the day, Bennett and his sometimes partner Cynthia slip and tumble their way through history. Bennett not only has to deal with his strange gift; he also has to handle a teetering madman he reluctantly calls "master" and the parents who abandoned him. Will he pass his insidious master's test? Will he want to? Join Bennett and Cynthia as they find out the truth and send the world into chaos or save it from ripping itself apart.

For fans of "The Gender Game" and "Divergent." Enter a world ruled by blood, sacrifice, and slavery.South Dakota, once a part of the United States, is now ruled by warlords. Cienna, a berserker, escapes her ‘master’ Xiao-Chin after years of faithful service, on a bloody battlefield. But she knows Xiao-Chin will not let go easily. With a child, she's desperate to protect, and a man as close as a brother Cienna chases after freedom, and into the arms of The Nation, the semi-nomadic, thriving descendants of the first people. With them, she finds a burgeoning home until it is ripped away by the shadows of her past. Now the choice to look for answers may be no choice at all, and the answers they find may destroy Cienna and her future. In a world ruled by chaos and blood, hope may yet take flight.

Imagine a future, not so very far away, where nobody ever needs to leave their home; where everything you could ever need is there inside your own four walls. Kids are home schooled from their 'Ed Pod' computer consoles, adults work from home, food and everything you buy is delivered to your house within minutes by a vast underground network of pipes; in fact, it is illegal to go outside. But one boy is curious. Tex is a 13 year old boy who gazes out of his bedroom window every night at the same street light, at the same corner and wonders what is out there. When he sneaks out one night he discovers a world of outsiders, a secret community of those who have been left behind.
