Before there were bats like Shade, Marina or even Goth, there was a young chiropter—a small arboreal glider—named Dusk. . . .
It is 65 million years ago, during a cataclysmic moment in the earth’s evolution, and Dusk, just months old, has no way of knowing he will play a pivotal role in creating a new world. What he does know is that he is different from the other newborn chiropters. Not content to use his large sails to glide down from the giant sequoia tree, Dusk discovers that if he flaps quickly enough, he can fly. But this strange gift that makes him feel like an outcast from the colony will also make him its saviour. After most of the colony is savagely massacred by the felids—the earth’s first mammalian carnivores—Dusk must lead his fellow chiropters to a new home, and a new life.
Against a tableau of disappearing dinosaurs and the ascent of the mammal kingdom, Oppel has created an adventure fantasy that sets the stage for the birth of the bats, the story of the forebears of Shade, the beloved hero of the Silverwing series. As with all Silverwing books, it is impossible to simply read Oppel’s Darkwing; each of us enters a world of convincing characters, warring theologies, incredible natural history and a story that roars through head, heart and imagination. A tale that can be read as a stand- lone or as a prequel, Darkwing will be a welcome new classic for the millions of Kenneth Oppel fans. Views: 644

The Beginning
The security situation on the Arizona-Mexico border has gotten bad...very bad. The Border Patrol is all but helpless, as narcos, terrorists, and common criminals cross the line with impunity.
One Arizona rancher has put up the money to hire a PMC to secure his land. He can't afford much, or for long, but with work hard to come by, the former Special Operations contractors of Praetorian Security have jumped at the job.
It's hot, boring, and uneventful at first. But when a bloodthirsty mob of cartel sicarios set their sights on taking over the ranch, the Praetorians have to dig in and fight.
It is a bloody, bullet-riddled siege in the desert hills. And it is Praetorian Security's baptism by fire.
"Drawing the Line" is the latest action story from Peter Nealen, combining the fast-paced, visceral action of Don Pendleton with the authenticity of Dalton Fury or the early Tom Clancy.
"Peter writes brutal, believable action at a breakneck pace that will keep you turning pages." - Larry Correia, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Monster Hunter International and Dead Six series. Views: 644
