NEON Calico : J. Webb Garrett
NEON Calico
What is the worth of one’s humanity in the age of cyber-augmentation? What is the value of flesh when ceramics and chrome can make you stronger? Faster? Smarter? Better? A cyborg is the hybrid of man and machine, but how much “machine” can a person become before they lose the “man?”
Calico, a young cyborg Troubleshooter, struggles with these questions as she makes her way in the shadowy underbelly of the Chicago Metropolis. Having spent years running from a past that she can never escape, struggling with the heavy toll her freedom has cost her, Calico finds a chance to put it all behind her when her half-brother shows up from Hong Kong asking her to steal a data-file from their father’s company. The file – Project: Stray, her father’s final solution.
When? : Galixna
When? Behind the Curtain
This beautiful story begins with a young boy who finds himself trapped between the physical and the spiritual realms of life behind the Iron Curtain.
This young boy grows into a young man who begins to experience what he had never expected to face. This young man’s story deepens when his daughter Halia is inspired and, as a teenager, joins him in his fight for freedom.
This powerful tale is based on the real-life experiences of a family and their friends in the Soviet Union. Defying the imprisoning, brainwashing ways of the Communist system, they battled for their freedom, never doubting in their hearts that one day they would be free. Waiting behind the curtain, Halia’s heart could only wonder, “When?”
As the story progresses, the focus shifts to Peter’s daughter as she experiences prejudice from her peers as well as many other terrible obstacles. As her journey takes her to the New World, she surprisingly meets the same prejudices she had faced in the Soviet Union. But through Peter’s life and the life of his daughter, you will come face-to-face with a power that can change your world, as it did Peter’s.

Terror Trip : Delaney Landon
Terror Trip
Gabriel and his two friends clash with Nelson and his two companions as they share the same carriage on the London to Brighton train. However, later on in the journey they are all confronted by a situation which poses a much bigger threat to everyone on the train. Each character narrates the story from their point of view and has a memory which surfaces as they confront their fear. Gabriel suffers from crippling self-doubt, but he and his fellow passengers must overcome their personal demons and take action together in the ensuing terrifying climax.
“Terror Trip” is a literary novel that blends contemporary themes with all the twists and turns of a thriller. The narrative explores themes ranging from class and racial division to Extremism and Terrorism. Contemporary issues of social and cultural identity are captured within a gripping story. However, there are some touches of British humour which help to relieve the tragedy of the unfolding events. Delaney Landon creates an atmospheric melting pot inside the claustrophobic carriage that sets the scene for an explosive and sensational story.
Here are some reviews of “Terror Trip”:
“If you have a thing for British Suspense novels, Terror Trip by Delaney Landon is for you. It is a gripping read and you will want to devour the pages to find out what happens to everyone you get to know in the story.” Self-Publishing Review
“This is a deeply thoughtful look at today’s Britain. It’s a nail biting experience especially for those of us familiar with the London to Brighton commute. Well written with real character motivation. It’s provocative and in my case, challenged my personal perception of modern Britain. It leaves the reader with many questions and disturbing conclusions. A new author who I think we’ll hear much more about in the future.” (Amazon review)
