A Nordic thriller in the vein of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
meets Death Wish , in which a female serial killer, who only feels
emotion when listening to music, is hell-bent on revenge and must
outwit a disgraced detective determined to redeem himself if she is
to complete her carefully orchestrated plan and cover up the
ultimate secret. ONLY A MONSTER CAN DO THE WRONG THINGS FOR THE
RIGHT REASONS Do you remember the first tape or CD you ever bought?
Perhaps you waited for the local station to play the top forty
songs on a Sunday so you could record your favorite band. Maybe you
downloaded a certain track that reminded you of your wedding day or
a graduation. Reyna Blackburn remembers. Every single song for
every horrific event in her life. She remembers what song was
playing on the radio the first time he hurt her. And she remembers
what was playing through her headphones the first time she killed.

IT HAS BEEN SEVENTEEN YEARS since the Nine Veils abducted half of
the Nenets children and their bonded Huahuqui from Antarctica.
Despite years of searching by Jonathan Teller and the NSA, no one
has heard from the clandestine organization, or the abductees. KJ
Nilsson, the remaining children, and their Huahuqui-collectively
known as the Stratum-have grown up in relative safety at Alpha Base
in Antarctica. Thanks to the work of Lucy Taylor, now President of
the United States, the Stratum are to be recognized as a unique,
symbiotic, race and legal citizens of several great nations. But,
things do not go as planned when the Nine Veils come out of
hiding-with their own army of Huahuqui-determined to become the
most elite power on the planet. Now, KJ and the Stratum must prove
they deserve their new status by defending the citizens of
Earth-against their own kind. Whoever wins, the age of man is over.
Genre: "Science Faction" - science fiction, action and adventure
with fact-based science, theories, and mythology IN ALMOST EVERY
BELIEF SYSTEM ON EARTH, there exists a single unifying mythos:
thousands of years ago a great flood devastated the Earth's
inhabitants. From the ruins of this cataclysm, a race of beings
emerged from the sea bestowing knowledge and culture upon humanity,
saving us from our selfish drive toward extinction. Some say this
race were "ancient aliens" who came to assist our evolution. But
what if they weren't alien at all? What if they evolved right here
on Earth, alongside humans . . . and they are still here? And, what
if the World's governments already know? *** Kelly Graham is a
narcissistic self-assured freelance photographer specializing in
underwater assignments. While on a project in the Amazon with his
best friend, Chris D'Souza, a mysterious and beautiful government
official, Freya Nilsson, enters Kelly's life and turns it upside
down. Her simple request to retrieve a strange object from deep
underwater puts him in the middle of an international conspiracy. A
conspiracy that threatens to change the course of human history.

DESTINY HAS NO ALLEGIANCE. Four years have passed since the
lillipads fell and Etyom slipped into darkness. The New Black Death
has mutated again, spreading to near epidemic proportions. What
little order existed in Earth's last city has disintegrated into
chaos. Rippers roam the Vapid, robbing and leaving their victims
butchered. The Robusts have spilled out of their broken enclaves
and hide in any dark corner that will conceal them. Meanwhile, the
elite Graciles, fallen from their pristine towers in the sky, have
all mysteriously disappeared. Demitri is a prisoner in his own
mind. His demon, Vedmak-now known as the Vardoger-is manipulating
Demitri's body and knowledge to execute a secret plan far more
disastrous than even the Gracile Leader dared. Mila, her status
among the fractured resistance elevated to that of Paladyn-a
protector of the people-leads the fight against zealots intent on
destroying what little remains of Etyom. It is a responsibility she
never wanted, a calling that prevents her from doing what she truly
desires. Yet, Mila should be careful for what she longs. Caught
between annihilation and loyalties that refuse to die, she must
reconcile a single immutable truth: following your heart comes at a
price. In the Shadow of A Valiant Moon is the sequel to the 2018
Dragon Award nominee and multi-award-winning novel It Takes Death
to Reach a Star .

She thought there was nothing stronger than a mother's bond. She
was wrong. FIFTEEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO, the knowledge bringers--an
amphibious, non-humanoid species known as the Huahuqui--came after
a great global flood, gifting humans with math, science, and
civility. We killed them all. Seventy years ago, we found one of
their corpses preserved in ice and eventually created a clone named
K'in. Our governments fought over the creature and we killed it,
too. Now, a sinkhole in Siberia has opened, revealing new secrets.
FREYA NILSSON spent the last five years trying to forget her role
in the Huahuqui cloning program. She hid her son, KJ, from the
regimes and agencies she believed would exploit him for the powers
he acquired through his father's bond with K'in. An innocent trip
to help KJ understand his abilities results in the conspiracy she
fought to bury exploding back to life. Chased by new foes and
hounded to put the world first, all Freya can think of is
protecting KJ--at all costs. Children of the Fifth Sun: Echelon is
the sequel to Gareth Worthington's multi-award-winning debut novel
Children of the Fifth Sun .
WE ALL HAVE DEMONS. SOME DEMONS HAVE YOU. The world you know is
dead. We did this to ourselves. The epidemic struck at the end of
the Third World War. Fighting over oil, power, and religion,
governments ignored the rise of an antibacterial-resistant plague.
In just five years, the Earth was annihilated. Only one city
survived-Etyom-a frozen hellhole in northern Siberia, engulfed in
endless conflict. The year is 2251. Two groups emerged from the
ashes of the old world. Within the walled city of Lower Etyom dwell
the Robusts-descendants of the poor who were immune to the New
Black Death. Above them, in a metropolis of pristine platforms
called lillipads, live the Graciles-the progeny of the superrich,
bio-engineered to resist the plague. Mila Solokoff is a Robust who
trades information in a world where knowing too much can get you
killed. Caught in a deal gone bad, she's forced to take a high-risk
job for a clandestine organization hell-bent on revolution. Demitri
Stasevich is a Gracile with a dark secret-a sickness that, if
discovered, will get him Ax'd. His only relief is an illegal
narcotic produced by the Robusts, and his only means of obtaining
it is a journey to the arctic hell far below New Etyom. Thrust
together in the midst of a sinister plot that threatens all life
above and below the cloud line, Mila and Demitri must master their
demons and make a choice-one that will either salvage what's left
of the human race or doom it to extinction ... Awards Bronze Winner
