The Enemy Within: A Dystopian Thriller by Graham Watkins (21 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

A car crash, an old suitcase and a dark secret leads to a story of arson and murder. Simon Reece's journey through this dystopian crime thriller, searching to find his identity, draws him into a world of lies, danger and murder. This is a world controlled by evil policemen, corrupt politicians and all seeing computers, a world where fiction and science come together, of suspense and action where vulnerable citizens are mere pawns in a terrible experiment. As Simon Reece fights to expose the truth he faces mortal challenges, deadly enemies who will stop at nothing and a state which will do everything in its power to destroy him. Reece's quest is a story of Orwellian madness writ large in the 21st Century. Paul White's review says all; Revelations in the aftermath of a tragedy, lead Simon Reece, cyber-security entrepreneur, to embark on a quest to discover his true identity. This personal catastrophe intersects with national calamity - a fractured country, paralysed by rioting, plagued by terrorist violence, struggling to find its own new identify; a nation highly susceptible to the arguments of a populist movement that offers an apparently surefooted pathway amidst the sinkholes of a collapsing society and body politic. The book's author, Watkins, masterfully taps into the zeitgeist of potentially post-Brexit Britain, immersing the reader in a maelstrom from which the lead character and the country are co-joined in a struggle in which so-called "special relationships" are exposed as ephemeral window-dressings concealing shady goings-on where vested interests are ruthlessly pursued. Watkins takes us on a journey at which every twist and turn leads to revelations that shatter the very foundations of what might be considered normal, both for the individual and for society at large. At the heart of the book lies a fundamental question: in highly volatile times, how much "collateral damage" to our freedom and civil liberties are we prepared to accept in return for ...

A Grey Eyed Girl by Ilandra Johnson (9 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The concept of evil has always intrigued, fascinated and horrified humans. They seek to define and understand it either excusing, condemning, ignoring or accepting the resultant carnage it leaves in its wake. This carnage can be as subtle as a smile given at an inappropriate moment or as overt as the planned murder of another person. Lorette had never thought much about it. Her life was simply her life, lived in and under the bright day and clear night skies of Southern Africa. When her mother dies, she experiences a profound moment of clarity. Her mother was not her mother. She wonders through her memories, laying them down, remembering, arranging and rearranging disjointed events, thoughts and feelings. Is her brother her protector and her shield? Is she his? She tries to lay bare memories both good and bad, to understand the story of her life and accept or reject her true self. This work of fiction is written in the style of a memoir but all names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidences are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

SOUNDS OF MURDER tells a tale of academic intrigue and death. At Grace University, a small southern college, no one in the Psychology Department likes Charlotte Clark, so no one is particularly upset when she is found murdered in the department's million-dollar computer lab. But because she discovered the body, Associate Professor Pamela Barnes feels obligated to find Charlotte's killer. When she discovers a recording of the murder that was accidentally produced during Charlotte's struggle with the killer, she begins her own investigation. Along the way, Pamela agonizes with her own conscience as she fights her growing fear. She attempts to understand her mysterious Department Chair, keep her curious colleagues informed, placate her protective husband, and avoid antagonizing a local rube detective who belittles her efforts--all while she struggles to make sense of the sounds on the recording. As she gets deeper and deeper into her analysis -- trying to connect what she hears in the recording with sounds from people (and potential killers) around her--she gets closer and closer to the killer. However, the killer is observing Pamela's efforts and resolving to stop her.

Lemma 3 - MH370 Solution: Updated Edition with 2016 Second Anniverary Introduction - Africa Gambit Theory Stronger Than Ever by John T. Cullen (Clocktower Books) (1 Review)    Price verified one minute ago

Lemma 3--originally proposed in 2014 to solve the mysterious vanishing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370--remains stronger than ever as pieces of wing debris wash up east of Africa--precisely in line with the author's predictions in the original June 2014 edition of this book--except we now know the hijackers' mission failed. We need to study Lemma 3 to ensure no such hijack mission ever succeeds because its aim was to drop the weaponized plane as a dirty and destructive bomb on a major target in Europe, Israel, or the Mediterranean Sea. This book is a second anniversary update on the theory advanced by John T. Cullen after the aircraft's baffling and as yet unsolved vanishing on 8 March 2014 (two years ago). This edition contains a new Introduction, plus the full text of the June 2014 first edition. It is vitally important to keep all options on the table--which authorities have not done, choosing to continue a singular and so far ineffectual search off the shore of western Australia--to prevent a hair-raising plan like Lemma 3 from ever succeeding. Because--guaranteed--the people who likely hijacked MH370 will try again. The author examined all the known data points of March 2014 and formulated a theory that has stood the test of time--a logical construct that responsibly keeps all options on the table. These fall into three major logical legs or lemmas (sub-theorems): --Lemma 1: natural disaster (no human cause). Includes mechanical failure. Less likely for various reasons, including: the plane flew on for at least six hours without any automated or human distress signal. --Lemma 2: impulsive, destructive human act without a longer-term plan (e.g., pilot, crew, or passenger suicide). Less likely for various reasons. Expected outcome would have been instant descent and crash, as in the pilot suicide on Germanwings Flight 9525 in the Alps on 24 March 2015, and similar instances. --Lemma 3: hijack for a sinister purpose, which is the author's ...

Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, William/Judas is on a quest to reclaim the thirty silver shekels paid to him in exchange for Jesus Christ.

The Blue Church: Or: The Only Home a Ghost Ever Had (The Pleasant Valley Novellas and The Silent Struggle Between Horror and Humor) by John McGinnis (2 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Some say the El Dorado is haunted. I doubt that. Ghosts are not real. Hotels are not alive. They don't have memories. The El Dorado is just a dwelling of brick, wood and glass. In that sense, it is just like every other hotel in the world. It's just uglier. That doesn't mean it's haunted. The only home a ghost ever had, was in somebody's head. "There is a rational scientific explanation for everything and there are neither ghosts nor gods." That's what mom taught me, and I believe her. I know that there are many who disagree. Some even claim to have seen a ghost. I will not call them all liars. I do not doubt that many alleged hauntings are reported by those who truly believed themselves to be witnesses of the paranormal. Sometimes our eyes, ears and minds can deceive us. When this deception occurs it can be quite convincing. I should know, it happened to me. Without going into too much detail, I thought I saw a ghost myself when I was five. She was a little girl about my age dressed in white. This ghost looked just like a normal living being with one exception. Her mouth was missing. In its place was a gaping dark cavity. Upon looking directly into the brown eyes of this apparition. I heard her voice speak to me, inside my head. This voice spoke, "Children are better seen and not heard." I screamed and wet myself. My mother flew to me like a phantom. For the life of me I could not explain why I screamed, and I could not explain to mother why I had wet myself. Fear of the little girl without a mouth tightened my vocal cords. Fear of my mother froze my lips into silence. The smell of my urine burned the inside of my nostrils. A wooden spoon burned my ass. My encounter was nothing but a hallucination. It occurred during the night following my first day of kindergarten. My first day of school did not go so well. Even though I was afraid of my mother at that age, I was terrified at having to leave her side to spend the day among strangers. That one day in my life ...
