The Guard
by David Colmer Peter TerrinTwo men live in the basement of a large luxury apartment block, guarding its inhabitants. Harry and Michel work for "the organization", wear crisp blue uniforms and carry guns, taking turns to sleep only five hours a night and living on water, bread and corned beef. Harry is convinced that he and Michel are being tested by the organization. There was talk of a third guard being sent to assist them, but he has not arrived. They have no idea what is going in their city, in the outside world: there might be a war on, there might have been a nuclear explosion. One weekend, the inhabitants abandon their apartments. There is no news from the organization and no deliveries for several days. Just as Michel begins to think he will die of starvation, the third guard appears with a box filled with food. Harry and Michel's tight routine is disturbed, with horrific and fatal consequences.Steeped in an atmosphere of tense paranoia, The Guard is a disturbing and brilliantly observed allegorical novel about war and peace--war with an incomprehensible enemy, peace which every man has to earn for himself.

Harry and Michel stick to their posts. The world might be at war, plunged into nuclear winter or decimated by a disease; they may be the last inhabitants in the city.

Soon enough, the couple manages to find themselves in trouble, dishonored, and on the run. Even worse, a bounty has been placed on their heads, a bounty so large that even the nicest guy in Haven would kill them without blinking an eye. Is this the mission that's finally too much for Hawk and Fisher?

Guardian: Guardian (Aisling Trilogy #1)
by Carole CummingsAisling Trilogy: Book OneAs he pursues a man who is not what he seems, Constable Dallin Brayden learns the lines between enemy and ally, truth and deception, and conscience and obedience are not only blurred, but malleable. Constable Dallin Brayden knows who he is, what he’s about, and he doesn’t believe in Fate. “Wilfred Calder” has no idea who he is or what he’s about, and he’s been running from Fate for as long as he can remember. When Wil flees after witnessing a murder, it’s Dallin’s job to pursue him. Along the way, he’s pulled into a maelstrom of ancient myth, fanatical religion, and the delicate politics of a shaky truce between two perpetually warring countries—all of which rests on the slender shoulders of the man he knows is not Wilfred Calder. Even Dallin’s success proves a hollow victory. Wil is vengeful, rebellious, and lethal, and his tale of magic and betrayal rocks the carefully constructed foundations of Dallin’s world. Suspicious and only half believing, Dallin must question not only his own integrity and his half-forgotten past, but the morality and motives of everyone around him—including those who hold his own country’s fate in their hands.

Guardian

But when that cruelty is inflicted upon their only son, she picks up and flees with the boy across the uncivilized Western frontier - and into Alaska to start anew among the region's gold fields.But even the harsh journey across America has not prepared Rosa for the infinite possibilities that await her. Something not of this world has approached her. It has revealed the universe's secrets to her. And it will take her on an extraordinary odyssey as she discovers the role she must play in bringing peace to Earth...
Guardian
by Joe HaldemanDuring the Alaskan gold rush, a woman pursues a destiny that will change the world in this alternate-history novel from a sci-fi legend. In the tradition of Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land), multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Joe Haldeman set a new standard for military science fiction and hard sci-fi with The Forever War and his phenomenal Worlds series. Now the Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master dabbles brilliantly in alternate-history fiction with the world-altering adventures of a remarkable woman during the gold rush in late nineteenth-century Alaska. Sent from her Georgia home to Philadelphia to escape the carnage of the Civil War, Rosa Coleman studied astronomy and mathematics, ultimately settling into a new life as the wife of a wealthy man and mother of young Daniel. But when she discovers an unforgiveable secret about her reprobate husband, Rosa takes the boy and flees to the West on a desperate escape that takes them from Dodge City to San Francisco one step ahead of the Pinkertons hired to bring them back home. On the run in a strange and exhilarating new world, Rosa and Daniel find a haven where they might never be found: the wilds of Alaska among the dreamers drawn to its magnificent wilderness by the promise of gold. It is here that her spiritual guide first appears to Rosa in the form of a raven--an incarnation of the trickster god of Native American and Eskimo lore--suggesting that her destiny lies not in sparkling riches but in something far greater. This mystical harbinger has come from a distant, alien place, and will set her on an astonishing course . . . A magnificent blending of historical and speculative fiction, Joe Haldeman's Guardian is a breathtaking departure for the author whom Peter Straub calls "one of our most aware, comprehensive, and necessary writers" and David Brin praises as "one of the best prophetic writers of our times."
