Summary: Tim hadn’t seen his grandmother in five years. When he got the call that she’d died suddenly, he felt he had to go see her one last time--out of guilt, or family obligation--even he didn’t know. On the way home from the funeral he meets a hitchhiker named Rhys. Tim offers him a ride.

Summary:

Timothy Lawrence was told by one of his only friends, that the new Atlas CEO was a different kind of boss, and that Atlas was now a different kind of company. Since he was in need of a job and not many people are willing to hire the doppelganger of Handsome Jack, he didn't have many options anyway. So when the CEO Rhys Fausse personally reached out to offer him a job, it seemed like the best course of action.

However, as Tim knows better than most, sometimes the most handsome faces, hide the darkest secrets.  

Maybe he has nothing to worry about. Maybe Janey was right. It seemed different. I had to be different.

It would all be just fine. Right?'

Summary: Rhys finds himself in a awkward relationship between Angel and her father. As Angel doesn’t seem to spend lot of time with others besides Rhys (mostly due to her father’s strict and overprotective rules) she quickly becomes attached to Rhys.

A strange case on Pandora puts Rhys face-to-face with death, betrayal, and incredulity. In the meantime his dreams become creepier as the situation worsens, hiding many meanings behind them.

Will Rhys manage to persuade Jack to let go of his insane, mass murdering plans? Or will he have to support his boss’ unhealthy obsession? And will the situation with Angel end happily? In any of these cases, Hyperion is set to to become even more powerful as time passes, leaving Jack with an enormous amount of resources and power in his hands, all destined to be used for his devious purposes.
