TITLE: Circles of Displacement by Darrell Bain
DESCRIPTION: A stellar accident has thrown hundreds of small circular areas of East Texas far into the past. The displacement circles include such random spots as a roadside park, a Wal-Mart Superstore, the streets of a small town–and the death row section of the state prison. Individuals and groups gradually find one another while coping with an unknown wilderness–and the murderous convicts who are intent on enslaving everyone they can find–especially women and blacks. Eventually, the convict-led forces will battle for control of the new world against a random assortment of people led by an erstwhile physicist, who has found a new love in a woman formerly in the military. But in order to have a chance against the ruthless former convicts, she must pretend to be captured in order to create havoc behind the lines.
TITLE: The Disappearing Girls by Darrell Bain
DESCRIPTION: Girls and young women are disappearing without a trace, without a clue. No bodies are ever found. Police are stymied until a possible connection appears in the form of a young woman who has unaccountably inherited a newly built mansion from her estranged father. The lead detective in the case thinks something is completely out of kilter about the cases. He doesn’t know what really weird territory he–and his new girlfriend–are going to be entering. As the disappearances continue, they begin to take on a new tone–some of the people connected to the investigation also begin to abruptly drop from the face of the earth. The inherited mansion increasingly seems to be the clue to the disappearances. When the phenomena envelops the detective and heiress, they find themselves in a situation they never imagined could happen.
