Kindle Freebie: Aegis Incursion by S.S. Segran

On a bright July morning in 1948, a B-29 Superfortress flying a top-secret research mission over Nevada crashes into the calm waters of Lake Mead and sinks, remaining lost for half a century.

It has been nearly a year since five friends - Jag, Kody, Mariah, Tegan and Aari - mysteriously reappeared in a small town in Yukon several weeks after their small plane went down in Northern Canada. All were found unharmed but with no recollection of what happened to them after the accident.

A baffling contagion is spreading across the bread-basket of North America destroying vital crops. As this dark shadow marches across the globe, widespread famine and riots bring desperate nations to the brink of war.

These seemingly unrelated events set the stage for a battle between the forces of darkness and those destined to become the 'bearers of light'. From ravaged fields in the Great Plains to clandestine installations around the world, the Aegis League must race against time to save humanity.

Bargain Kindle Book: Sequence by Wearmouth & Barnes

Sorry for the short, unexpected hiatus. I had surgery a little over a week ago. Thanks to some complications, I haven't blogged too much lately. Hopefully I will be back on track now.

An evolution is coming…
One man's dream will be forced on to the world…
Unless another can prevent a global conspiracy.

On the hunt to explain the disappearance of his childhood friend, journalist Jacob Miller discovers a shocking atrocity. He suspects Dr. Gray, a radical scientist, of experimenting with human clones in a covert Alaskan research facility.

Unable to convince the police of the threat, Jacob infiltrates the facility to find proof. To his horror, he discovers world-changing plans that go far beyond cloning. Now he’s on the run, the target of the very organization he needs to expose. The danger grows as he gets closer to the core of a conspiracy that reaches deep inside the U.S. government.

Armed with little more than his investigative skills and a will to survive, Jacob must risk everything to stop THE SEQUENCE. Failure will see his friend’s fate remain a mystery, the loss of many lives, and the fall of the U.S. to a terrorist attack, the likes of which have never been seen before.

"SEQUENCE is a thrilling story of high tech and fast action. I found it impossible to put down and can highly recommend it." -- Matthew Mather, best-selling author of CYBERSTORM.

"If you want to read one of the best tech thrillers around, check out SEQUENCE. It'll have you turning the pages and staying up late!" -- Nick Smith, best-selling author of EXTINCTION HORIZON.

Kindle Freebie: The System by Teshelle Combs

1 + 1 = Dead.

That’s the only math that adds up when you’re in the System.

Everywhere Nick turns, he’s surrounded by the inevitability of his own demise at the hands of the people who stole his life from him. That is, until those hands deliver the bleeding, feisty, eye-rolling Nessa Parker. Tasked with keeping his new partner alive, Nick must face all the ways he’s died and all the things he’s forgotten.

Nessa might as well give up. The moment she gets into that car, the moment she lays her hazel eyes on her new partner, her end begins. It doesn’t matter that Nick Masters can slip through time by computing mathematical algorithms in his mind. It doesn’t matter how dark and handsome and irresistibly cold he is. Nessa has to defeat her own shadows.

Together and alone, Nick and Nessa make sense of their senseless fates and fight for the courage to change it all. Even if it means the System wins and they end up…well…dead.

Book Spotlight: In Retrospect by Ellen Larson

Former elite operative Merit Rafi suffered during her imprisonment at the end of a devastating war, but the ultimate torment is being forced to investigate a murder she would gladly have committed herself.

The year is 3324. In the region once known as Turkey, the Rasakans have attacked the technologically superior Oku. The war is a stalemate until the Oku commander, General Zane, abruptly surrenders.

Merit, a staunch member of the Oku resistance, fights on, but she and her comrades are soon captured. An uneasy peace ensues, but the Rasakans work secretly to gain control of the prized Oku time-travel technology. When Zane is murdered, the Rasakans exert their control over Merit, the last person on Earth capable of Forensic Retrospection.

Merit, though reinstated to her old job by the despised Rasakans, knows she is only a puppet. If she refuses to travel back in time to identify Zane’s killer, her family and colleagues will pay the price. But giving in to Rasakan coercion means giving them unimaginable power. She has only three days to make this morally wrenching choice; three days to change history.

As the preliminary investigation progresses, Merit uncovers evidence of a wider plot. How did the Rasakans defeat the technologically superior Oku? Why did the Oku surrender prematurely? How did the Rasakans discover her true identity? Merit realizes she will only find the answers by learning who killed the traitor, General Zane.

In Retrospect is a good old-fashioned whodunit set in a compelling post-apocalyptic future.
