By Sound Alone by Mark Torrey 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

(Note: The e-book version of this book is available for free and open-source in many formats at: bysoundalone.net) The surface of the ocean has become a contested place. International shipping is forced undersea, carried out by submarines fitted for transporting cargo. Captain Sylvia Percy and her small crew run one such boat, the Prospect. They fight a daily battle to keep their rusting sub from dropping into the depths. It's just another grimy job until they find themselves pursued by a military submarine driven by some inexplicable violent purpose. To survive, the crew of the Prospect push the machine that is their home to the very edge of its capabilities, while still trying to make their delivery on time. With a heritage that is equal parts 1960s submarine movie and 1970s trucker movie, By Sound Alone revels in the power of confined spaces and the dangerous operations that have always been the meat of compelling submarine stories. But it also breaks new ground with a setting of a fictional world where submarines are a critical part of global logistics networks. Derived from science fiction themes but never deviating from a commitment to realistic mid-century submarine mechanics and operations, this story propels a page-turner of a plot through a cinematic environment from which you will not want to surface. How about a bulleted list to make it easier for you? • It's free. Open-source-style free. • It's a page-turner. Full of submarine action and excitement! • It's cinematic -- full of visual descriptions that put you right there in the control room of the submarine. • There's characters you'll love, and characters you aren't sure you love by the end. • Realistic mid-century mechanics -- no magic tech in this book. • It's well written. (That's what people tell me anyway.) • It was edited by a professional (who was not the author). • It's got women in leadership positions in a submarine story (it passes the Bechdel test) -- how's that ...

The air is oppressive and there is no wind, not even the softest breeze. It was supposed to be a typical day for the five friends, but they wake up to discover that they are left alone on earth. The world that they knew is gone. All that is left is silence, pervasive, absolute silence. What happened while they slept? Are they the only ones left? As the theories start to fly, and their imaginations run wild, they wonder if they are still on Earth at all, possibly abducted by aliens, trapped in a simulation, or claimed by the afterlife. Aram is the only one who can see deep into the silent world. That's why, from the very beginning, he starts to look for a way out of this new reality. If he can convince his friends to stay focused, as the whispers begin, and fight against the evil of the silent world, the fog-shaped beings that wander the empty streets, they may stand a chance.

"The red 8:25 tram crossed Crane House Lane and disappeared behind Villiers House, sealing my fate. I'd be late for work. I slowed to a walk and took another bite of toast. I found I didn't care. It was that kind of day." - Henri Hardy, The Girl on the Kerb It took several months for Henri Hardy to discover just what type of day it really was. It was more than a day when his alarm clock failed to ring. It was more than an unusually mild day in early spring. It was a prelude to undreamed of changes in his life as an analytical engineer in the Ministry of Innovation. It was a prelude to travel, adventure, danger, and romance. Fifteen hundred years before that day, a devastating plague swept across the planets, moons, and space ships of Earth's solar system spanning civilization. It ended space travel and forced the surviving population of the resource depleted Earth to live at a near 20th century level of technology, while endlessly recycling the remains of their once highly advanced civilization. To that end, every aspect of their society is governed by an elaborate set of laws known as the Code. But not everyone is content to live at the reduced level of technology dictated by the Code. There are those who dream of returning to space and the planets. Once such person is the administrator of Europe's EuraEast region, the Duchess of Fauconcourt. She has made it clear that she intends to alter the Code, one way or another, much to the alarm of the neighboring regions' administrators. So when an illegal flying machine that crashes in EuraEast comes to the attention of the administrators of EuraCentre and EuraNorthwest, they recruit two amateur agents. One being Henri Hardy, the other is Jeanne Murat, an expert in EuraEast. Together they set out as a team for EuraEast seeking the evidence needed to compel the World Government to preemptively act to foil the Duchess' dangerous ambitions.

A two-book mystery bundle by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, author of ONCE GONE, a #1 bestseller on Amazon with over 350 five star reviews! Here is a bundle of the first books in two Blake Pierce series -- the Ava Gold Mystery series and Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller series -- all here in one convenient place.

In the rough streets of 1920s New York City, Ava is as tough as they come, and willing to hold her own in a man's world. But when a psychotic serial killer unleashes a rampage, murdering young women across the city, Ava will have to search the dark canals of the twisted killer's mind if she has any hope of hunting him down.

Hooker is a survivor. He reigns from high in the cab of a custom-built giant tow truck that is as powerful as the heart that he keeps hidden under his "rebel without a cause" skin. Cruising the highways and streets in the heady days of the early Silicon Valley, Hooker lives out his life with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the gearshift. Four radios, two of which are illegal, are his ears. Life is cherries as he tours his fiefdom with a one-eyed battle-torn oversized orange cat named Box. Named for the box Hooker found him in, as well as the box between the seats of the cab that he spends his time in. The only three people Box lets touch him are Hooker, Manny the retired Detective and the love of Box's life; the 500lb owner of the Night Dispatch: Dolly. Spring is coming on in the valley, and it's rapidly becoming t-shirt under the leather jacket weather; Hooker's favorite time of the year. The police, have long turned a blind eye to his "rapid response time", and the waitress at his favorite midnight eatery is warming up to him. Life is going just great. That is until he witnesses the first of several cops shot to death by an unseen assailant. The killing spree is executed on Highway Patrol, police, as well as sheriff deputies. San Jose is paralyzed as everyone searches for answers. Only Hooker has his ear close to the evil that walks the streets at night taking the city and county's finest. But when it becomes personal, can Hooker find the killer; before the killer finds Hooker?

Life in Pleasant Hills, Texas, flows like sweet molasses. Normally. But nothing is pleasant or normal about murder. I never thought, in my wildest dreams at 26-years-old, I would see my first dead body. Or take over my grandmother's floundering pet grooming business, without a lick of experience aside from managing the shop's (Stone Age) back office, drain my savings account for the shop's renovations, begin hearing my Chihuahua's voice inside my head, and wind up a possible suspect in the murder of one of my employees. Now, if I can clear my name, discover the real killer -- without getting whacked myself, come to terms with hearing my chatty pup, all while keeping the family business afloat, my life won't slip down the proverbial drain. ?Author's Note: Some, more mature, readers in the humorous, cozy mystery genre may love to hate my main character, Steely Lamarr, and that's okay. But as the writer, it is my duty to remain true to her character and her story. Steely doesn't claim to have all the answers, nor does she always make the wisest of decisions. Her character is loosely based on a few of my own experiences married to a law enforcement officer in my 20's, and coupled with inspiration drawn from our oldest daughter's personality, whose steely attitude and tenacious spirit kept her feet on the ground and her head held high during the difficulties in her young adult life. As with my own daughter, I have a deep appreciation for Steely's growth, maturity, and her willingness to own and learn from her mistakes as the series progresses. My hope is readers will acknowledge and appreciate this as well. If not, remember, there's always pie, and pie makes everything better. ~Publisher's note: This is the 2nd edition of How to Leash a Thief. Many readers of the 1st edition stated it read like a "cozy" mystery. Although it does contain many cozy mystery elements, we at Pigasus Publications do not want to mislead readers. Our readers' happiness is top priority. How ...

When the phone in his pocket rings, he answers it, and he's instructed to take a taxi to a strange meeting in the centre of the city. Confused, scared, and feeling very alone, he agrees, and so starts a mind-bending journey into a different world that compels James to act out everything that's expected of him by those who demand it. But where is his wife? And who has his daughters? Who are the people now living in his house and occupying his home? And who is the man pretending to be his father, now alive, but who James buried several years before? Is this real? Has James gone mad?... Or is something even stranger happening? For James Quinn, every day becomes an adventure into a new world, a world which until now was only in his dreams. But which is now real. How can he make it stop, and find his family? Who has stolen his life? And why? PLEASE NOTE: This book is written in a fresh and exciting style which makes it easy to read, and which, for some reason now being investigated, makes the book easy to read by those who have dyslexia. If you know someone or have a family member who has dyslexia, after you have read and enjoyed the story, you may wish to recommend it to them too! It may be the first book they have ever read and you will have gifted that pleasure to them!
