It has all come down to this.Stuck in an alternate universe while a resurrected Charlie wreaks havoc in their own, Arista and Frees are desperate to return home to stop him. Their only problem: they don't have a Quantum Gate.But their new allies are clever, and if they play their cards just right, they might find a way home after all. What they'll discover after being away for months is anyone's guess.It turns out things are worse than they ever could have imagined. Charlie, the psychotic AI run amok, has begun an all-out war against the remaining humans and autonomous machines, determined to wipe them from the face of the Earth.The only ones left to stop him are Arista and her friends. In order to defeat Charlie, they'll have to seek out the last original Artificial Intelligence, and there's no telling if he's even still alive. If they fail, it could mean the end of both humanity and the machines…forever.CAUSALITY is the final chapter in the pulse-pounding QUANTUM GATE saga. Filled with unforgettable characters and a world in peril, this last installment will leave you guessing until the very end!

She thought she was alone. When it's all over, she'll wish she was. Arista and Frees, having beaten the AI known as Charlie, now face new troubles. The Peacekeepers are still hunting the teenager and her autonomous friend as they try to release other machines from the Cadre's grasp. And the worst part is, they're still no closer to finding the secret to Arista's heritage. But when a mysterious call interrupts their fleeting attempts at liberating the machines—from someone claiming to be a human, no less—Arista knows she can't ignore it, despite Frees fearing it's a trap. Only there is a catch. If Arista wants to know where this human came from, she'll have to use the Quantum Gates to eliminate the second of the three AI's before it can retaliate for Charlie's destruction. Despite her need to know more, Arista isn't sure she can face another AI like Charlie. Now, more than ever, she'll need to lean on the survival skills she's used all her life if she hopes to succeed. DUALITY is the second thrilling chapter of the QUANTUM GATE saga: a futuristic world filled with a society of machines where humanity has been all but wiped out.

Arista once dreamed of a planet full of humans. Now it scares her to death.After the disastrous events at the human colony, Arista's reality has been turned upside down and she finds herself in a world in which the machines never came to power, and, in fact, are outlawed. Now she and Frees must try and navigate this strange, new universe without getting killed by some anti-artificial nutjob. The only question is: without a Quantum Gate, how do they get back?After she breaks out of jail, Arista must use all her guile and knowhow to find a solution. But that means getting off the glittering jewel of Manhattan and into the real world. And she and Frees aren't the only ones who are looking for a way back.DISPARITY is the fourth book in the heart-pounding QUANTUM GATE series. Don't miss your chance to rise up and fight for what is yours. Order today!

After a lifetime of searching for answers, Arista finds herself facing what could be her greatest fear: that humanity might be her enemy. Together with her machine companion Frees, Arista locates a group of humans who are hunting down the remaining Peacemakers, only to learn the humans are part of a much larger, hidden colony, deep underground. Desperate to find out if this is where she came from, Arista will go to any length to gain access to the colony, even fighting her own people. But these humans aren't anything like what she expected, and in order for her to find her parentage, she'll have to break the one rule she swore she never would: kill another of her own kind. Though doing so could have dire consequences…for everyone. TRIALITY is the third book in the heart-pounding QUANTUM GATE series, pitting machines against humans in a futuristic setting.

This study develops a methodology for rapidly obtaining approximate estimates of the economic consequences from numerous natural, man-made and technological threats. This software tool is intended for use by various decision makers and analysts to obtain estimates rapidly. It is programmed in Excel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to facilitate its use. This tool is called E-CAT (Economic Consequence Analysis Tool) and accounts for the cumulative direct and indirect impacts (including resilience and behavioral factors that significantly affect base estimates) on the U.S. economy. E-CAT is intended to be a major step toward advancing the current state of economic consequence analysis (ECA) and also contributing to and developing interest in further research into complex but rapid turnaround approaches.The essence of the methodology involves running numerous simulations in a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for each threat, yielding synthetic data for the estimation of a single regression equation based on the identification of key explanatory variables (threat characteristics and background conditions). This transforms the results of a complex model, which is beyond the reach of most users, into a "reduced form" model that is readily comprehensible. Functionality has been built into E-CAT so that its users can switch various consequence categories on and off in order to create customized profiles of economic consequences of numerous risk events. E-CAT incorporates uncertainty on both the input and output side in the course of the analysis.
