Life, Love & Terrorism : Paco Pineiro
Life, Love & Terrorism
This is a story of and for our present time, straight out of our evening newscasts. Its the story of an otherwise successful American man in his thirties, struggling to recover from a painful breakup with the woman of his dreams, suddenly finding himself at the center of a controversial scheme that could make him not only world famous but as historically significant and heroic as the first man who set foot on the moon.
However, this life-changing opportunity comes with great risk, not only because it is highly controversial but also because it is dangerous and could just as easily end his life. To make matters even more challenging, part of the price for this amazing opportunity involves becoming an agent for a mysterious and shadowy organization called Citizens for the Defense of America, that purportedly exists to defend the United States against its enemies. So, at a time in his life when he is most vulnerable and emotionally unstable, he must make a life-altering decision, without knowing how it all might affect his diminishing chances of a reconciliation with the love of his life.
Additionally, Life, Love & Terrorism is a ground-breaking novel that can, at over 75 points in the narrative, and through the use of Google Earth©, transport the reader to the exact place he or she is reading about, whether it’s a romantic sidewalk cafe in Monaco, a chilling crime scene in Gibraltar or a relaxing flight over California’s wine country.
By making use of our latest technology, this exciting fiction novel is taken to the next level, placing it somewhere between where novels have been for over a century and the film version of this novel, which may come at some point in the future.

Divine Play : Thomas A. Ukinski
Divine Play: An Epic with Commercials
Divine Play begins with Aiden Fesyo discovering he has a four-year-old child…somewhere. In his quest to find his child, he encounters people personally linked to the seven members of the latest “HorrorShow” team, who must pass through nine “circuses” on California Island, and defeat the megacorporation, SPORT, to win the trillion-dollar prize.
The team, “Valwadi VII,” is a spangled banner of races, skills and troubled pasts: a gay Hispanic gymnast, a native-American stunt coordinator, an Aborigine swimmer, a genetically engineered “fiteball quarrelback,” a Bosnian movie star and entrepreneur, a Japanese-American courtesan and assassin, an African-American “bizzyball” player and terrorist’s daughter. Three are killers; three blame themselves for deaths. One aborted her child. Another watched his lover waste away with retroviruses.
They must contend with: radioactive dumps, deserts, boiling lakes, high velocity winds, hot-headed centaurs out of David Mamet, equine aliens with British accents, homunculi bikers, mutant hairdressers, clumsy Ninjas, talk show hosts in tanks, and distortion fields that carry them through space and time.
Ultimately, Aiden joins the “HorrorShow” team to confront a gigantic triple-bodied Satan who reveals that the universe is a “divine play” of good-in-evil and evil-in good.
The novel is a particle accelerator full of tropes, pastiches, parodies, songs, commercials, miniplays, sound bites, neologisms, wordplay, movie promos, maps, charts and sacrilege. Even if you don’t read science-fiction, take a gander at this. It’ll cheer you up.
Immune – Book Two of The Rho Agenda : Richard Phillips
In the final pages of the spellbinding novel The Second Ship, NSA director Jonathan Riles failed to halt the Rho Project’s infiltration of the US government. Now the Project’s alien nano-serum is loosed upon the world, disguised as a miracle cure and leaving too many people—good people—dead. And anyone still alive to challenge the Project won’t be for long: an assassin known only as El Chupacabra is systematically eliminating any and all opposition.
At the top of the hit list is NSA fixer Jack Gregory, along with Heather McFarland and Mark and Jennifer Smythe, the three teenagers who first exposed the Rho Project’s evil agenda. In just a few short months, the trio has seen life as they know it stripped away, trapping them in a confusing new reality where human DNA is modified at an alarming rate. Struggling to understand what they are becoming and on the run for their lives, the teens and their remaining allies must stop the Rho Project before it alters the very fabric of humanity.

The Raven Affair : Steven Nedelton
The Raven Affair
Taut, engaging, and supremely well written, The Raven Affair is a superb instant classic. With more than its fair share of break-neck action and mind-numbing suspense, author Steven Nedelton’s compelling thriller is a fast-paced page turner, the literary equivalent of such silver screen jewels as the Bourne series.
Further bolstering the high-stakes mystery tale is a highly believable central storyline of murder and mayhem in the name of global domination – quite the tantalizing fodder for fans of complex narratives involving intricate conspiracy theories brought to vivid life on the page.
With nonstop action and intriguing, well defined characters, The Raven Affair is a bona fide literary thrill ride guaranteed not to disappoint. Highly recommended.
The Gift of Light : Jen Gentry
The Gift of Light
Emily and her Aunt Gemma are two very special women. They see into the spiritual realm and commune with angels.

A centuries-old battle, waged in the heavenly realm between the forces of good and evil, is fast reaching a flashpoint in Hook Pond.
Demon Prince Azelius has a centuries-old stronghold over the family of Senator Brad Steel, whose goal is to become President of the United States, a goal Azelius wants him to achieve. Azelius wants the senator’s son as well, but someone is praying and interfering with his plans. That someone must be silenced, permanently. When young Bradley Steel finds the Lord, he goes through a profoundly life-changing experience. He is overwhelmed with the need to ask forgiveness for an adolescent transgression that has haunted his life.
Marta forgives him and promises forgetfulness as well. They become friends and eventually fall in love and marry. Bradley goes to Afghanistan as chaplain and is critically wounded in an explosion, but a pregnant Marta is told of his death. With the presidential election drawing near, Senator Steel makes his bid, and threatened with exposure of past misdeeds including adultery and kidnapping ending with murder, he utilizes his demonic connections to summon the Ba’al and a shaman priest. A spine tingling ending that will have you cheering.

To Journey in the Year of the Tiger : H. Leighton Dickson
To Journey in the Year of the Tiger (The Rise of the Upper Kingdom Book 1)
Kirin Wynegarde-Grey is a young man with a big job – Captain of the Personal Guard of Empress Thothloryn Parillaud Markova Wu, in a Kingdom that spans from the mountains of western China to the deserts of the Middle East. He adheres strictly to the Bushido, the Way of the Warrior and he prides himself on his position, running the guard in a precise, orderly fashion. However, while his professional life is on track, his personal life is a mess, with a rebellious brother, a dangerous adjutant, a suspicious court and a love that is forbidden. When a threat to the Empire threatens to overthrow everything that is safe and known and ordered, he must lead a team that includes both his brother and his adjutant, along with three other radically different and unnerving ‘specialists’. He quickly finds himself out of his league, both physically and emotionally, but for such an ordered and disciplined soul as his, this might not be such a bad thing…
For Kirin Wynegarde-Grey is a lion, in a world where humans are legend and animals walk like men. His is a Dynasty of cats, of lions and tigers, leopards and cheetahs, embracing and blending the cultures of Dynastic China, Ancient India and Feudal Japan. Half feline, half human, this is a world that has evolved on the heels of the fall of human civilization in a blend of science, fantasy and zoological speculation.
This is the journey of six individuals as they travel beyond the edges of the known Empire, into lands uncharted and wild. But the dangers do not only lie in the unknown lands, for there are those in the government who do not wish their mission to succeed. Theirs is a journey of magic and mystery, science and swords, romance and intrigue. It is a journey of different perspectives and unexpected kharma and love found in surprising places. It is a journey that takes place five thousand years or so in the future, naturally in the Year of the Tiger.
