The Seeds of Dissolution (The Dissolution Cycle)

One majus hunts for who would betray the covert (and perhaps illegal) organization known as The Society of Two Houses. Mandamon Feldo is scheduled to meet a high-profile diplomat to present his newest invention, but instead finds the diplomat dead in a pool of blood on the floor of his office. Even worse, the diplomat had been holding a list of members in The Society of Two Houses, a secret organization existing inside the maji. An organization to which Mandamon belongs. If the list gets out the Society, which brings innovation and new technology to the Nether, may crumble under the weight of the secrets it holds. Often the ends are seen to justify the means when developing new ideas, and the Society has done its share of cleaning up ‘accidents.’ Before the murderer releases the information, Mandamon must figure out who would kill the diplomat and betray The Society of Two Houses. If you like Sherlock Holmes-style murder mysteries, Fast-paced action, and clever characters, you’ll love this stand-alone mystery in William C. Tracy's Dissolutionverse.

Eleven planets and four hundred years later, they finally found a home.The only problem is something already lives there, and it's big.Agetha and her husband Daved have lived in zero-G in the fleet their whole short lives. Now they are thrown into turmoil as the fleet lands, surrounded by a vibrant biomass consisting of a single fungal alien organism spanning the entire planet. Together, they must build a new home, brave a dangerous organism, and decide when and if they might raise a family in this new inhospitable landscape.Jane Brighton holds tenuous command over the entire colony and the other administrators who once commanded the ships of the fleet.

Sisters Kisare and Belili uproot an ancient box in their owner's orchard and find a miracle inside: a fifth godfruit in a society that knows only four. It is punishable by death for non-nobles to eat godfruit, so the sisters hide the discovery and plot to escape servitude for good. With the power represented in the box, they could live as nobles themselves. But Kisare finds her new freedom more difficult than she imagined, and Belili has many secrets she strives to keep hidden. With the help of a people slowly losing their culture and technology to the powerful nobles, the sisters lead an infiltration of the highest levels of noble society. While Kisare finds she cares for the captured leader of the people helping them, Belili comes to love her noble suitor's guard--a fierce woman with a similar past to her own. In the end, the fifth godfruit may bring harmony to the world, but the sisters' only hope of succeeding lies in deciphering ancient mythologies surrounding the gods' original plan for their people.
