Terror in 1698 by Chris Berend (12 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A young man and his wife travel to the New World in hopes of finding a better life. But it is a strange, harsh place that is still ruled mostly by nature and its animal inhabitants. The wagon trail leads them from the port of Boston to the province of New York, where a new settlement has just been built. The cabin they purchase sits outside of the settlement within the heavily wooded countryside. They are home, a place they can have a fresh start. But they soon realize there is something that prowls the surrounding forest that is far worse and hungrier than any bear or mountain lion; something far more dangerous than the frigid mountain air. Something that will do anything to survive. What should have been the start of a New World dream quickly becomes a nightmare as the husband and wife battle a creature the local Native American tribesmen called "Stone Giants," evil beings hellbent on terrorizing settlements. Will they be able to defeat this creature? Or will they find themselves victims to its uncanny rage?

Dead City by Johnny B. Truant (477 Reviews)    Price verified 17 minutes ago

One drug saved the world. Now, the same drug threatens to destroy it. Rising star Ian Keys has climbed to the top rungs of pharma giant Hemisphere -- creator of Necrophage, the drug that paused the necrotic outbreak and allowed the infected to live among us. Ian's new position gives him access to dangerous secrets that could ruin the company. When ominous hints from an anonymous insider set him on the hunt for the biggest secret of all, he discovers that the "cure" the company gave the world might not have been a cure at all. Now men are watching Ian's house. They're following his wife wherever she goes. When he's called to CEO Archibald Burgess's office, he's taken by armed guards -- then plied with vague threats. What would happen if Necrophage failed? Burgess asks. What would become of our society if the disease were allowed to progress again... and all of our well-behaved patients slowly turned feral? There's only one person Ian can take his case to: reporter Alice Frank, who's been trying to blow the whistle on Hemisphere for years. But is there time to save what's left of the world... or has the inevitable slide back into chaos already begun? "I loved everything about this book. Great concept (I'm a pharmacist so I geek out when my sci-fi crosses over into RX land). I love the way it ended... but I want more! I'm definitely a fan of this series and can't wait for the next book." -- PharmDiva "Wow. Can't say I've ever read anything like this before, but Platt and Truant didn't disappoint! While I found the characters' reactions to be quite plausible, given the scenario, I still had no idea which way it was going to turn." -- Ayme Bahrami
