Middle Watch : Loretta Proctor
Middle Watch
Haplessly orphaned at birth, Bridie was adopted by a kind-hearted naval officer, Joe Bosworth. But with Joe frequently away at sea, Bridie grew up under the cruel rod of his jealous wife and sons. Desperately seeking sanctuary, she follows Joe when he leaves his family to become a lighthouse keeper.
Drawn to the jagged coastline by her freedom-loving spirit, she takes to clambering along the wild and lonely peaks. It is in this untamed haven of turbulent waves and lashing winds that she first meets Ryan, the silent and enigmatic son of a lighthouse keeper. Immediately drawn to Bridie’s solitary beauty, Ryan falls deeply in love with her. But their blossoming romance is cut short when Ryan is forced to depart for military service. He leaves Bridie with the promise that he will one day return to marry her.
But Ryan is not the only one who has intentions for Bridie. Her scheming foster-brother, Jim, reappears on the scene to discover that in his absence Bridie has grown into a beautiful, innocent young woman and his intentions are far from honourable.
In the blackest hours of the night, the middle watch, can Bridie bring her soulmate safely back into her arms or will dark jealousies forever destroy her heart’s desires?

Universe : R. M. Dilleen
Universe: The Edge of Tomorrow
Lidda Kandell’s best friends at college are not what they seem. They give her a strange toy, called a Magiton, which reads her mind, accelerates her learning, and creates hallucinations for her entertainment. It contains a twisted alien personality and is thousands of years old. She gives it a pet name, Widhbo (wee’ bow).
Lidda discovers her friends aren’t from Earth either and finds even her own identity is in question. She has been cleverly deceived and manipulated from birth to assist them in battling a Dark Overlord who threatens the very existence of her planet. Widhbo assists Lidda in developing a superior line of androids in the attempt to create an island of hope for the universe.
The cosmos has become populated with Magitons, who transcended their humble organic origins, uploaded their minds into indestructible crystalline vessels, and achieved immortality. Absorbing the learning of every civilization they find, Magitons have achieved incredible power and are essentially gods to the mortals they encounter. One of these immensely powerful beings has gone mad. The Magitons have placed all their hope in humanity-their own humble origins-in a long-shot attempt to defeat the Dark Overlord and prevent him from becoming the Great Destroyer of Prophesy.
Lidda falls in and out of love, struggling to maintain her humanity, as her life and everything she believes is turned upside down. Her definition of reality is constantly challenged. The new androids discover they have a soul and Widhbo becomes harder to handle as he loses his fragile hold on sanity. Lidda must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in the battle against a demon with the power of a thousand worlds in order to save them all.

Eclipse Of The Midnight Sun : Timothy M. Kestrel
The Rule Of Ranging 1 – Eclipse Of The Midnight Sun
The Rule of Ranging is cinematic in its scope, and comprehensive in its scholarship, and alternately funny, bawdy, heartbreaking, instructive, and thrilling. It provides the reader a sweeping history of a world war that covers the themes of love, freedom, greed, innocence, man’s savagery, loyalty, friendship, adventure, and so much more.
“The author’s narrative style draws comparisons to the cinema and, in fact, much of the evolving drama reads like a blockbuster Spielberg screenplay –colorful, dangerous, and exciting. Overall, this swashbuckling tale of likable protagonists and truly vile antagonists is entertaining and informative.” – ForeWord Reviews
“The novel, set in the late 18th century, is stylistically more like medieval romances of King Arthur’s court. The frame around the story eventually reveals an interesting narrative twist. An entertaining adventure novel flooded with manic action.” – Kirkus Review
