Vámonos! (Humorous Action Adventure Novels) by Bill Stephens
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Humor
E DITORIAL REVIEWS:
“Bill Stephen’s Vámonos! takes a wry and realistic look at human nature and the result is fun, lively, innovative, and highly entertaining. Instead of editorial comment on the character’s foibles, the various critters do the job, and the result is often hilarious and deeply revealing. Though the protagonists get themselves into heaps of trouble, the general tone is upbeat throughout, often left me laughing out loud. I recommend ¡Vámonos! in the highest terms.” Florence Weinberg, Ph.d Author of The Storks of Caridad and Unrest in Eden
“From a literary standpoint, Vámonos! is a book about good. evil, redemption, and the human condition, and it handles those elements with grace, intelligence, and wit. Remarkably, it also does something that literary novels rarely do: while accurately capturing the zeitgeist of today’s Mexico, it delivers the kind of edge-of-the-seat entertainment usually found only in plot driven thrillers. Have you ever wondered what it might be like to ride a Harley, or maybe to ride one in Mexico? Vámonos! brings you those experiences, virtually in 3D, with as much excitement as anybody needs, and does so with close to zero predictability. And there is enough humor to keep you smiling through even the most suspenseful scenes. The ending is especially satisfying: not only do the main characters achieve redemption but so do readers, most of whom will not be able to finish the book without a surge of optimism and a renewed enthusiasm for their own slog through this veil of tears.” Jim Peyton author of The Vampires of Bustamonte
“I think the comparison to Christopher Moore and Carl Hiaasen is a good one. I’ve read several of their books. In fact, I enjoy listening to these types of books and think Vámonos! is perfect for the audiobook format. It’s funny with a charming, self-deprecating hero. It reminds me of a modern day Don Quixote. And the dialogue and situational comedy make it a great candidate for film.” Diana Lopez author of Confetti Girl and Sophia’s Saints.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONN:
C&W singer/songwriter Skeets Hollaran and best friend, piano player, Jesse Suarez, are both underachieving Austin, Texas, musicians. Skeets finds himself homeless when his soul mate, Gena Koster, kicks him out for philandering. Jesse’s landlord evicts him and threatens criminal action for his hot rent checks. They flee, on their Harley motorcycles, into the Mexican desert. They hope for a life-changing, pivotal spiritual journey of redemption: sin seared from their souls by the desert sun, atonement, and absolution of Skeets by Gena.
Instead, a riotous romp follows from the Mexican border to the small town of Tolencita where the despot El Jefe jails them and threatens their lives.
As you ride along with Skeets and Jesse on this Don Quixote-esque adventure, you find (in spite of the playful tone and often thigh-slapping humor) mankind’s foibles arrayed, illegal immigration illuminated, greed uprooted and foiled, and political oppression confronted and vanquished – all without a single gunshot.
Wonderful Josefina, the Mexican burro, also shows us if we are steadfast in our faith and stay the course, we can achieve our dreams, even though we might get diddled along the way.

A scorching, clothes-ripping rendezvous with a mysterious woman offers Lukian a glimpse of his humanity, and respite from his nightmarish past. It also provides the Empire the perfect weakness to exploit for his recapture.
To rise to the challenge of protecting his new life, his freedom of thought, and his one shot at love, Lukian must reach deep into his mind to find his true identity. To defeat the Empire, he requires the deadly power of his former self–a power that threatens to consume him.

Justice in America: How it Works – How it Fails by Russell Moran
Genre(s): Law, Politics & Social Sciences, Politics & Government, United States, Judicial Branch, Legal System, Professional & Technical
T he world envies, and in some cases despises, the American system of justice. In this frank and compelling book, attorney and journalist Russell Moran leads the reader on an exciting tour of the system that delivers our rights, and he doesn’t pull any punches. Whether you’re a lawyer, a judge, or a layman, Moran takes you on a journey through the system in a candid, colorful, and occasionally humorous examination of the country’s most critical institution.
From the schoolyard to the prison yard, Justice in America brims with recent cases, historical antecedents, and engaging anecdotes that make our complex system crystal clear. This indispensable resource has been designed to guide the inquisitive layman, as well as the seasoned attorney or judge, through today’s legal process, from the role of judges to the wild world of torts. It’s a must-read for anyone considering whether or not to sue, settle, claim, or retain.
Moran launches the book by questioning our opinions about exactly what is justice. He challenges our assumptions, and leads us into the thicket of moral philosophy. He delves into the role of judges: how we select, train and pay them, as well as how judges make decisions. He also evaluates the Supreme Court and some of its historic decisions, particularly cases involving the Commerce Clause and its current bizarre interpretations, as well as decisions on eminent domain and private contracts, and how these resonate in the courtrooms of today, and impact business and personal decisions in this country.
From there, Moran faces down the wild world of torts–civil wrongs–which comprise the largest part of our court system’s dockets. He hones his sharp legal eye on the implications of those all-important courtroom battlegrounds that affect us all. He looks at general personal injury cases, wrongful death, workers’ compensation, medical malpractice, and product liability. He also examines the problem of excessive jury verdicts, and how the system handles them. Peppered with real-life examples, this invaluable take on tort litigation offers insights for anyone confronting the courtroom.
Moran then lifts the veil on the jury room, this crucial phase of the process that can make or break a case. He parses the key elements of case, including a sympathetic plaintiff, key witness credibility, location of the accidents, and how the injury occurred.
Moran then concludes by posing the question of whether justice truly exists in this country. He illuminates the “wonderful mess” that is American democracy, calling into question the functionality of the Constitution, and leaves readers to determine for themselves, if justice is served in this nation. Delivered like a seasoned attorney, Justice in America – How it Works – How it Fails, offers readers the facts, evidence, and arguments they need, both to navigate–and to pronounce judgment on–American justice.

Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Love, Sex & Marriage, Literature & Fiction, Romance, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy
J ason is single and has been for all of his 32 years. It’s depressing. But not as depressing as being told by his mother that he looks like Humpty Dumpty – after the accident. With a face that not even his own mother can love, it’s hardly surprising that he’ll try anything to get a woman to go out with him, even if it’s only for a single date. With little interest in anything other than his quest for a woman and a nice bit of cod and chips, Jason needs to think outside the box if he’s going to find someone who’ll give him a chance. Along with Barry — his best mate — Jason comes up with the only thing he thinks will work: dating a blind woman. However, to do that, he needs to pretend he’s blind himself, which is a lot harder than you might think … especially when guide dogs are so hard to come by. Eventually Jason’s efforts pay off and he meets Emma, a pretty professional with a host of friends. When he takes her out, they instantly hit it off. But will Jason be able to fool both Emma and her best friend Jerry into thinking he’s blind? With everything to play for, Jason faces the biggest challenge of his life, and nobody — especially not him — can see how it’ll all turn out.

THE OBSESSED: A Novel Centered on the Kabbalah by Laith Doory
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Metaphysical, World Literature, Jewish
S ometimes the stalker is herself stalked.
The biblical indictment to Eve that states: ‘Your desire shall be for your husband . . .’ rings all too true for Goldie Benelak, a woman that stalks her estranged husband, only to become embroiled within the machinations of the CIA in its use of her as an unwitting assassin in the killing of her love rival.
‘The Obsessed’ is a tale of social mores and changing identities that delves in part into the realm of non-fiction with regards to US covert operations: the program in mind control, the war on terror and the special virus program. It is also a book that demystifies the inner teachings of the kabbalah.
About the Author
A voice said to me in a dream: ‘You are a descendent of Abraham,’ and I awoke frightened.
From then on I began a quest into an understanding of arcane wisdom. Over the years I have visited many seers: some good, some not so good, but overall, I have found them a guiding influence in many aspects of my life. In truth, after constant setbacks, the only thing that has kept me going with regard to my writing has been the words of psychics, given that I trained as an architect. Here is part of what one particular seer had had to say regarding my writing, which I recorded on a Dictaphone:
‘The first impression that I get very strongly is that the writing urge flows through you like a very powerful current; it’s not always like you have to sit at your PC and concentrate on piecing together the words or the plot or the sentences; it’s more like a person playing a piano.
‘The words, the information, when you’re in a good space, flows through you and out of you in a very powerful way and pieces itself together as if it has already been written and you are simply taking it down as if somebody were dictating to you. What this creates, the end product, is a very powerful, compact, complete piece of writing which has a kind of maturity to it which is a little beyond its humble beginnings in a way. It has an energy to it, which is like something you’d pick up off a classics shelf in a library. It has a kind of third dimension to it that gives it a great sense of foundation and stability.
‘Now there’s no doubt in my mind that part of the process of your writing is akin to channeling, and what you’re writing is in a sense being fed to you from a higher place; whether that’s coming from your own soul, you’re spirit guides or other presences that are working with you and are writing through you, which is not to say that the only part you play within the procedure is as a kind of giant drainpipe, which is channeling this energy into this place. You are contributing to that that you receive and regurgitate. You are expressing it and providing it with its modern-day context. But the power behind your writing is coming from somewhere else, somewhere powerful, somewhere profound, and the perspective of what you’re writing, whether it’s a cookery book or a sixteen part epic drama; it contains something within it, whether energy or truth or revelation, which is important . . . which needs to be in the world.’

RUBECK’S RAIDERS
The Civil war divided the country and tore families apart. After the war, two half brothers became legendary gunfighters and cowboys in the old West–and deadly enemies.
Rubeck’s Raiders, a confederate army unit, were so brutal, even their own army disowned them. When the leaders’ son and paramour were killed one night, he knew it was one of his own men. A man hunt that spanned 10 years ensued.
The murdered girls’ younger sister saw a face in the window that horrible night, and swore to track her sister’s killer down. She hires trained killers to hunt him so she can get her revenge.
That’s how both half brothers became two of the most wanted men in the old West.
Changing names and identities, moving from frontier town to frontier town, hiding out – all became a way of life, along with having to fight for their lives at almost every turn.
One half brother knew he did it. The other was blamed for it. One didn’t want anything to do with the other. The other was protecting him.
They are all in one deadly pursuit to get him first.

P raise for Andy Smithson: Blast of the Dragon’s Fury (Book One)
“I LOVED it! Totally hooked and want to hear more. When’s the sequel coming out?” – Book Reviewer
“As far as Andy Smithson knows, he is a more-or-less ordinary 10-year-old boy, neglected by his overachieving parents and annoyed by his pampered older sister. What he doesn’t know is that he is also the latest in a line of rulers of the land of Oomaldee and the one destined to save that kingdom from a curse put on it 500 years before Andy’s birth. Andy is magically pulled into Oomaldee while washing dishes one evening, and the adventure begins–an adventure that includes fire-breathing dragons, a lisping wizard, flying horses, people-eating giants, and many new and delightful friends.
The story has plenty of exciting moments and a great deal of humor, from fart jokes and silly wordplay to more subtle humor that should appeal to adult readers. Delightful characters, exciting moments, and plenty of cool extras.” – SP Reviews
“The humor is visible and the book has many clever touches. The characters are believable… in this multi-layered story. A well-thought-through plot and vivid characters and situations.”

Zen and Sex (a Romantic Comedy) by Dermot Davis
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Love, Sex & Marriage, Literature & Fiction
M artin is a 24 year old guy who falls in love with a 38 year old woman. He has to grow so fast emotionally that he feels like he just got hit by a speeding bus.Not only is Frances fourteen years Martin’s senior, but she’s all about putting Zen into relationship, which involves every guy’s worst nightmare: talking about your feelings, being conscious of your thoughts and above all, unabashed, honest communication at all times. Martin has no idea what he is getting himself into and the sharp learning curve that’s required of him especially when he’s in the mood for sex and she wants Zen.”This is a short book but contains multitudes. The hero, Martin, is in despair about his ability to maintain a long-term relationship. After a number of failed match-making attempts he finally falls into a relationship with an older woman. At first leery, he realises that the age-gap doesn’t matter and goes headlong into the relationship. The book examines what happens when two real people try to negotiate a relationship where each is uncertain about themselves and their feelings. Dermot Davis writes Martin from the first-person perspective, and this gives him the opportunity to delve the depths and scale the heights of Martin’s roller-coaster. He writes affectionately and – it seems to me – accurately about the mental contortions that ‘real’ people go through as they work on their relationships. I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s experienced failure and success in their romantic life. You’ll recognise your feelings and the feelings of other people as they’re acted out. You’ll experience the frustration of dealing with a partner who seems to change his or her mind about how he or she feels. And you’ll laugh copiously at Martin’s attempts to find a way of having a real relationship with a real woman without giving up any essential parts of his own persona.” – Keith Dixon, author

Terrific escapist entertainment, as good as anything in Janet Evanovich’s oeuvre.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Named one of Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2012!Who does she trust when she’s living the real life horror of one of her crime novels…
Bestselling crime novelist, Cassie Alvarez, aka Cassie Lang, had murder on her mind when she walked into Rory’s Bar under dressed and under cover to research her latest crime novel. Researching the cool, blue-eyed and dashingly handsome man at the end of the bar stirred her senses more than she wanted to admit. But was this man of leather armor all he appeared to be?
Playing White Knight to an innocent wasn’t how Detective Jake Santos planned to spend his time under cover. But there was no way “CJ” was what she claimed to be and that nagging tightness in Jake’s chest told him he’d better take her home to safety and leave it at that. Then the barroom exploded with gunfire, leaving a trail of dead that includes a notorious Providence crime boss and an undercover FBI agent. When Cassie’s name is leaked to the media as the only witness to the grisly murders, Cassie insists she only trusts Jake to protect her.
The FBI wants their star witness happy and will do anything to make sure Cassie testifies. But it is clear to Jake that the shooter isn’t the only person who wants Cassie dead. Not knowing who to trust, he vows to protect Cassie at all cost despite the fact that guarding the beautiful novelist is a serious distraction.

The Platte River Waltz, Chapters 1-4 by Ken Consaul
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Historical, Romance, Historical Fiction, Historical Romance
S et in a panorama of the American West as its portrait is first being painted, The Platte River Waltz is the initial stroke in the unfolding of Josh Bonner’s tale. In 1848, only seventeen years old, on the Oregon Trail and suddenly orphaned, Josh begins a journey through the unsettled frontier of a wild continent. Just making first acquaintance with manhood, he quickly finds his future linked to Elizabeth Hampton, a coquette from his old hometown. Together they resolve to venture into an uncertain and dangerous future. Accompanied by Jubilee, an escaped slave, Josh and Elizabeth join a wagon train of Missouri emigrants led by a voyageur scout and a town constable turned captain. The couple commences a lusty exploration of the lands they pass and of each other.
The scout is the first to recognize the mettle of Josh Bonner, taking the novitiate under his wing. Others in the party, a missionary couple, an adventurous sawbones, and a clan of farmers, quickly recognize the newcomers as a formidable alliance that drives the expedition across the wild prairie. The land, the weather, and human frailty threaten, but cannot daunt their resolve. Populated with compelling characters, colorful dialog, intriguing subplots, and thrilling encounters, The Platte River Waltz explores a period of American history largely bypassed by contemporary historical fiction.
This first installment contains the initial chapters and introduces the characters, settings, and style of the overall work painting them into the backdrop of the western plains at the commencement of the great migration from the civilized East. This sample contains the first four chapters, approximately fifty pages, as excerpted from, The Platte River Waltz, Orphans in the Storm.

Pirate Dave and his Randy Adventures (Career Ending Romance Spoof) by Robyn Peterman
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Humor, Romance, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy
A fter all was said and done, the disgusting novella meant to destroy a story stealing New York Time’s best-selling author’s career was successful. Rena, an accountant with no discernible literary talent, and her band of adorable porno writing grannies came up with the worst piece of literature, (and I use that word loosely), that was ever written. Amazingly enough, it became a cult classic. Who in the hell knew there was an underground need to know and love a Time-Traveling Vampire Warlock with erectile dysfunction and his conjoined lady loves, Laverne and Shirley?
Apparently the need is there and now so is the full version of their story . . .
** Special Note from Author Robyn Peterman **
This is a spoof. A profane romance spoof not meant for anyone under 18. I was threatened lovingly and repeatedly by my readers to write the full version of Pirate Dave. He was born of the need to create a horrific career ending romance novel to destroy a really bad, nasty villainess . . . and Thank you Buddha in a tube top, it worked! I laughed my way through writing this and I hope you will enjoy this small slice of my warped brain. NO, this is not what I normally write, but I certainly had a good time penning it! If you want to read the real romance story, you’ll have to peruse HOW HARD CAN IT BE? You’ll find the first three chapters at the end of the hot mess you’re about to read . . . And now, I give you the career ending novella, (hopefully not mine) otherwise known as PIRATE DAVE AND HIS RANDY ADVENTURES.
**************************
“How Hard Can it Be? is outrageous, profane, hilarious, sexy, and all kinds of wacky.For a good time, read Robyn Peterman!” – MICHELLE ROWEN, national bestselling author
“A zany over-the-top rompfest.” – LEXI GEORGE, author of Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar
“If you’re looking for a brilliantly written, hot mess of hilarious shenanigans that will make you laugh until you pee, root for the underdogs and swoon like a Southern Belle then you’re going to love How Hard Can It Be. Go read it!!”– Wicked Little Pixie Reviews
Peterman’s debut is laugh-out-loud, rolling-on-the-floor, snort-Pepsi-through-your-nose funny. A very quick pace with hilarious characters and nonsensical scenarios will keep readers on their toes. Rena is a walking disaster, and it’s hysterical that her dream guy is a straitlaced cop. Fate definitely has a wicked sense of humor, and this tale will show you just how fun falling in love can be.– 4 STARS RT Book Reviews

M illie is flying. She’s spreading her wings and soaring, up and away from the filth of the city, away from the putrid yards and bloodstained alleyways, away from the crazy, crooked labyrinth of the rookeries, those last, teetering remnants of a medieval world, tucked in the shadows of the 19th-century city. Millie is six years old and dreams of skies and seas beyond her brief experience. But sooner or later she must come back down to earth. Back to the Manor, where Vincent will return any minute, to set his girls to work on the twilit streets. Back to this loft, where she’s just released his songbird and lost him a precious sale. Millie can hear him, now, roaring and crashing up the stairs. Her flight is at an end, and her life is about to change its course forever.
BIRDCAGE traces 25 years of Millie’s story, against the backdrop of London’s transformation from medieval city to modern metropolis. It’s a story of angels and garrotters; of French courtesans and back-street brothels; of ghosts and cats, secrets and mysteries; of the thieves and working girls, fraudsters, tale-tellers and odd-bods who form the strange and compelling family of the Manor–a cut above the rest of the London slums.

The Ian Fleming Files: Operation Armada by Damian Stevenson

OVER 30 AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEWS WITH A 4.5 STAR AVERAGE
Before James Bond there was Commander Ian Fleming or ’17F’ as he was known during World War 2 when the young British author served as an intelligence officer in Great Britain’s Naval Intelligence Department.
In his startling debut novel, Ian Fleming scholar and screenwriter of upcoming movie Fleming Damian Stevenson has crafted the ultimate origin story for one of popular culture’s most beloved icons. Everything that inspired the James Bond books is here: the suave and ruthless central character, his demanding boss, a bevy of beautiful femme fatales, formidable villains bent on world domination, their homicidal henchmen, exotic locations, crackling wit and all the cool cars, sleek guns, ingenious gadgets and monstrous hardware one would expect to see lavishly featured in a gonzo story about the author of Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me, From Russia With Love, Diamonds Are Forever, Goldfinger, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, You Only Live Twice and The Man With The Golden Gun.
James Bond was born from the ashes of World War 2 and The Ian Fleming Files: Operation Armada is all the more powerful for its attention to historical reality. This is no flight of fancy. The book has been lauded by Bond experts for the way in which it convincingly takes us inside Ian Fleming’s mind as he executes the dangerous missions that inspired his best selling books.
Damian Stevenson researched his novel for six years, interviewing hundreds of people connected to Ian Fleming’s life and reading everything ever written about him. The result is an instant classic that will appeal to Bond fans and lovers of good writing everywhere.
“Short enough to devour in one night., as I did, and leaves you wanting more. If you are a fan of the James Bond books, check this series out.”
Jennifer Klein, The Kindle Reader
“Filled with the type of detail that made Fleming’s work so memorable, this novel is sure to satisfy the most discerning of 007 fans. Rich in atmosphere and historical detail from its first paragraph, it becomes instantly obvious to the reader that Stevenson has done his homework.”
Author Anthony J. Piazza
“If you like how the post-war Bond dispatches SMERSH agents with a quip and a judo chop, you’ll love Fleming doing the same to the Fuhrer’s finest.”
Critic Jeffrey M. Cavanaugh
OPERATION ARMADA MISSION BRIEF
June 14, 1940. Naval Intelligence operative Commander Ian Fleming a.k.a. ’17F’ is parachuted into occupied France with two million pounds in gold. His mission: to negotiate the purchase of sixty battleships from the renegade head of France’s Navy, the mysterious and charismatic World War I legend Admiral Darlan. Fleming is assisted in his quest by the French Resistance led by the beautiful saboteur Denise Astier. Plans go awry and 17F is forced to improvise when German Army Group B, led by the sadistic General Bock, makes a run for Admiral Darlan’s ships. Hitler needs France’s battle-cruisers and destroyers to mount ‘Operation Sealion,’ his planned invasion of Great Britain. Ian Fleming has four days to get to Darlan before the French fleet is annihilated by the Royal Navy. With General Bock on his heels, and a traitor close to home, 17F finds himself in a race with the biggest stakes imaginable.
Operation Armada is the first in a series of The Ian Fleming Files stories.

Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, True Accounts, Murder & Mayhem, Health Fitness & Dieting, Psychology & Counseling, Child Psychology, Medical Medicine, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Child, Politics & Social Sciences, Social Sciences, Criminology, Popular Culture, Research, Teens, Development, Crime & Criminals
T his thought-provoking and timely book from a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist and noted child psychologist reveals the factors that often lead to explosive and shocking juvenile violence.
“Ethically and morally, kids are works in progress. Throw in psychopathy and you’ve got a soul that will never be complete.”
In this powerful, disturbing book, bestselling author and noted child psychologist Jonathan Kellerman shines a penetrating light on antisocial youth–kids who kill without remorse–asserting that “psychopathic tendencies begin very early in life, as young as three, and they endure.” Criticizing our quick impulse to blame violent movies or a “morally bankrupt” society, Kellerman convinces us that it is the kids themselves who need to be examined. Carefully.
How do children become cold-blooded killers? Kellerman warns that today’s aggressive bully is tomorrow’s Mafia don, cult leader, or genocidal dictator. Violently psychopathic youths possess an overriding need for power, control, and stimulation, and all display a complete lack of regard for the humanity of others. He examines the origins of psychopathy and the ever-shifting debate between nurture and nature, offering some controversial solutions to dealing with homicidal tendencies in children.
As timely as today’s headlines, more gripping than fiction, Savage Spawn is a provocative look at the links between society and biology, children and violence. Kellerman’s sobering message will remain with you long after the last page is turned.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Jonathan Kellerman’s Guilt.

Thirty years later, she had published more than four thousand columns, and earned countless laughs–from housewives, presidents, and everyone in between. With grace, good humor, and razor-sharp prose, she gently skewered every aspect of the American family. This collection holds the best of her columns–not just her famous quips, but also the heartbreaking observations that gave her writing such weight. In 1969, Erma wrote: “screaming kids, unpaid bills, green leftovers, husbands behind newspapers, basketballs in the bathroom. They’re real . . . they’re warm . . . they’re the only bit of normalcy left in this cockeyed world, and I’m going to cling to it like life itself.” Three decades later, Bombeck’s writing remains a timeless examination of the still-cockeyed world. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

The Epherium Chronicles: Crucible by T.D. Wilson
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure, Space Opera, Military
T he Cygni system is just one space-fold jump away. One more jump to a new world with a fledgling colony that Earth desperately needs. The importance of the mission resonates in Captain James Hood’s mind, but can he reach the colony in time or defend it against potential attack?
So much depends on him now, but Hood’s confidence is shaken. Only days earlier, a deceptive trap by a mysterious vessel nearly claimed his ship and the lives of his crew. On the journey to the new colony, Hood had been so focused on encountering Earth’s old enemy, the Cilik’ti, that he was oblivious to the undermining activities of a new and elusive foe. They had managed to turn his strategic and tactical strengths against him; something few had ever accomplished.
Now, the specter of self-doubt resurfaced inside him. Hood knew it as a brutal mind-killer for all military commanders. It was something Hood thought he cast aside long ago.
Hood needs to get to Cygni and fast. The plot to derail his mission to Cygni cost him something more important than just his confidence. It cost him time–time the colonists at Cygni may not have. With the Cilik’ti and his new adversary still out there somewhere, the consequences for the colony could be dire if he doesn’t reach them first.
What will Hood and his crew find when they arrive at the colony? Hood doesn’t know, but one thing is certain. If he doesn’t win his battle within, the fate of the colony will be sealed.
Crucible is the second book in the exciting sci-fi series, The Epherium Chronicles.

Jennifer Thomas: “A gripping and fascinating mythical adventure that is beautifully described. There is suspense, fear and emotion throughout the entire novel that makes you want to keep turning the page.”
Excerpt…
Jayne concentrated on getting better. The dark mood that she had found herself in grew steadily lighter and she pushed her memories of the blue city to the back of her mind, dismissing them as dreams, which would gradually fade with time. That was her hope, for while she slept her mind wove images of the sea, accompanied by the echo of the whales and a tall man whose hair was the colour of the darkest waves. He was always there, not far away it seemed, thus was the lucidity of her sleeping life.

A powerful story of a man’s undoing at the hands of his greatest admirer
At the South Carolina military academy the Citadel, amid the tumult of the 1960s, Cadet Peter Cates is an anomaly. He is a gifted writer, a talented basketball player, and a good student, but his outward successes do little to impress his abusive father. Instead, Cates is mentored by Lt. Colonel Courvoisie, an imposing and inspiring man whom the cadets have nicknamed “the Boo.” But when Cates writes a searing letter condemning the school’s meek response to a stabbing on campus, his bond with the Boo will be threatened as both are forced to confront what it means to be a man of honor.
Set against the richly drawn military school backdrop that Conroy would return to in his bestseller The Lords of Discipline, The Boo is an unforgettable story of duty, loyalty, and standing up for what is right in the face of overwhelming circumstances.
