The Helios Cascade
Books
The Helios Cascade is a series of novels, each set in its own world and genre, from thrillers to horror to adventure, all bound to the same moment. Most of them stand alone. The exceptions: the first three books are one continuous story, and The Long Dim is a series of its own that begins with Firewood. The Pruning is the origin, the only book that tells what really happened, and a good place to start.
Its own series, set inside the Helios Cascade universe.
