Overview

WMG Publishing presents the mysterious adventures of The Runabout and The Falls in one page-turning pairing.

Hugo Award-winning author Kristine Kathryn Rusch's bestselling Diving series spans time and space so vast that the stories continue to unfold. Now, with the Diving Pairs volumes, WMG Publishing offers complementary books that, together, tell more of the story than each book alone.

The Runabout

A graveyard of spaceships, abandoned by the mysterious Fleet thousands of years earlier. Boss calls it "the Boneyard." She needs the ships inside to expand her work for Lost Souls Corporation. Yash Zarlengo thinks the Boneyard will help her discover if the Fleet still exists.

Boss and Yash, while exploring the Boneyard, discover a small ship with a powerful and dangerous problem: The ship's active anacapa drive.

To escape the Boneyard, Boss must deal with the drive. Which means she'll have to dive the ship on limited time and under extremely dangerous conditions. And she can't go alone.

A heart-stopping adventure that continues the thrill ride of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's award-winning Diving series.

The Falls

Fleet sector bases close as the Fleet moves on. Everyone knows and expects it. But still, the announcement that Sector Base E-2 will close—although still thirty years in the future—breeds a mood of tension and anxiety.

So, when Rajivk Agwu finds two pairs of shoes on a trail near Fiskett Falls, but no sign of their occupants, his already heightened senses warn of danger.

Those on the base fare no better. Bristol Iannazzi, working on the notoriously delicate anacapa drive for a runabout, also notices something strange, something out of place, something dangerous…

Expanding the rich history of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's captivating Diving universe, The Falls provides an exciting and crucial backstory for future events.

"[The Runabout] is so good, it will make you want to read the other stories."

—SFRevu

"Engrossing. Detailed. Imaginative. I had never heard of the author's Diving series before reading this. I should have. It is good. Really good."

—Tangent Online

"Amazing character construction, building a plot that riveted me almost from the moment it began. I will now absolutely have to read the preceding titles and I cannot wait to see what will come as a result of The Runabout."

—Tangent Online

"This is a partner to the previous story in the Diving Universe [The Falls]. … I loved seeing the other side of the story. Even though I realized what was going to happen there was enough tension and danger to keep me reading."

—Mixed Book Bag on The Runabout

"…this novel is a prequel—but a thoroughly enjoyable one (and with a little bit of a tie-back to the series' present day). Rusch is a prolific award-winning author in several genres, including the mystery field, and here she has accomplished a skillful blend of science fiction and murder mystery which kept ratcheting up the stakes and had me avidly reading right through to the end."

—Worlds Without End on The Falls
