Ryan Kealey now knows he'll never really put the game behind him. He's seen too much, and the instinct is too deeply hardwired. But the game itself has changed. Between tense interagency "cooperation" that gums the works, and an overreliance on data-crunching and wiz-kid tech, today's US intelligence service has lost a step to its ever-bolder, viciously adaptable global enemies. And thanks to an incredible discovery in the Arctic, those enemies now have a nuke - capable of unleashing unthinkable terror. To hunt down the devastating package before it can be used, Kealey forms an unlikely partnership with the young Farsi-speaking nuclear physicist Rayhan Jafari. But once on the ground, with technology and their by-the-numbers command failing them, they're on their own - trusting only their guts and each other - to conduct the dirty business of combating horrific destruction.** Views: 37

The long-awaited sequel to The Runes of the Earth returns readers to the Land-and opens with the reunion of Linden Avery and Thomas Covenant!
Linden Avery, who loved Thomas Covenant and watched him die, has returned to the Land in search of her kidnapped son, Jeremiah. As Fatal Revenant begins, Linden watches from the battlements of Revelstone when the impossible happens- riding ahead of the hordes attacking Revelstone are Jeremiah and Covenant himself, apparently very much alive.
Here in the Land, Jeremiah is healed of the mental condition that had kept him mute and unresponsive for so many years. He is full of life, and devoted to Covenant. But Covenant is strangely changed. Sarcastic and bragging, he no longer seems like the man whom Linden adored. And yet he says he has a plan: he will take her and Jeremiah to a place where they can find a pure source of Earthpower and, after he has achieved his own purposes, Linden will be free to use that great power to go home, to take Jeremiah home, or to do anything else she sees fit. Even though she distrusts the seemingly different man he has now become, how can she make any choice except to follow him?
Their journey will cover unimaginable distances through the Land-even through time itself-and will test Linden's courage again and again. In the end, fulfilling her destiny will call for a terrible leap of faith: Can she give up everything she thought had been restored to her, for the sake of the Land? Views: 37
Guardian Witch Book Four
A dead body, black magic, and a vampire enforcer...
Ari thought her biggest problem was deciding if
she should move in with her vampire boyfriend, Andreas. That was before they
found the dead body at the bottom of the Riverdale cliffs. And before she
realized he'd been cursed by black magic.
Just as she begins the murder investigation, the
vampire rulers in Europe send an enforcer to make inquiries into the recent
defeat of the Toronto vampire prince. While Andreas has taken responsibility
for the brutal dictator’s death, there is much about the incident that he and
Ari must keep to themselves—secrets the vampire elders would stop at nothing to
learn.
With threats of retaliation hanging over their
heads, Ari moves into Andreas’s Victorian mansion—for safety’s sake—while the
enforcer begins a campaign of terror. Ari is caught between competing dangers
and challenges: black magic, a ghost, a missing Native American artifact…not to
mention a new roommate…all while trying to stay alive…
