The Many Shades of Midnight (Tales of Isyr Book 1) by C M Debell (49 Reviews)    Price verified 6 minutes ago

A plague of monsters. A deadly conspiracy. A truth that will shatter the world. Isyr. Stronger, brighter, more beautiful than other metals. Once the most desirable thing in Ellasia, now it is priceless, the pure Isyrium needed to produce it mined to exhaustion. What's left is controlled by the powerful mining syndicates, and such is the demand for their Isyrium that even kings do their bidding. Yet just as the beauty of Isyr hides a deadly secret, so too do the syndicates. A terrifying enemy is spreading a plague across the land, a sickness that kills or transforms everything it touches. Unable to contain the outbreaks, the King of Lankara begs the aid of his disgraced former military commander, Alyas-Raine Sera, a man who has spent years fighting syndicate expansion and whose resentment over his exile makes him an unpredictable, dangerous ally in the power struggle between the rulers of Ellasia and the mining companies. Attached to the envoy to recall Alyas, the apprentice surgeon Brivar finds his skills and loyalty tested as his service to his new patron uncovers secrets about Isyr and the plague that link it to the mining of Isyrium - and threaten the life of the man it is his duty to safeguard. In their own separate ways, Alyas and Brivar must take on the might of the syndicates and confront the greed, murder, betrayal and impossible choices of a crisis that has been decades in the making - and the price of their failure could be everyone and everything. The Many Shades of Midnight is a gritty political fantasy about friendship, sacrifice, and the fight for survival in a world where greed drives everything and no one can be trusted. If you enjoy complex characters, intricate world-building, and high-stakes intrigue, you'll love this standalone grimdark fantasy.

The Enemy Within: A Dystopian Thriller by Graham Watkins (21 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes 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 ...

Link by Link: Overture to A Christmas Carol by S.R. Buckel Price verified 50 minutes ago

Before he terrorized London's rich and poor alike with his stingy bahs and abusive humbugs, before his astonishing transformation, Scrooge was Ebenezer. What and who curdled the heart of this brilliant, haunted boy? They're all here, everyone you know and love, but lurking behind every shadow and familiar face is a malevolent Enemy, who is ever striving against those Christmas Spirits, working to prevent the life of the child yet to come. This Enemy knows that Ebenezer is key -- that he will grow to either save, or -- if It can turn Ebenezer into the foulest skinflint to ever haunt London's streets -- condemn the child to an ill fate. ('I see a vacant seat in the chimney corner, and a crutch without an owner. If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die.') The Enemy strikes early. On the heels of losing his mother, Ebenezer's hard-and-sharp-as-flint father sends him away to Alfriston School for Boys. There he descends into grief, becoming self-contained and employing his fathers' caustic dismissal, BAH! -- all part of his training. Link by link, he begins forging a ponderous chain of his own freewill. From pits of despair to heights of glee; from Fezziwig's Christmas dances and the positive, womanly influences of Fani and Belle to heartache, Ebenezer girds himself with this strong coil. When he meets poverty-hating business phenom Jacob Marley, it grows full and heavy as sin. Following that legendary transformative Christmas Eve, he becomes as good a man and benefactor as Tiny Tim Cratchit could ever ask for -- one whose destiny extends far beyond himself and the narrow limits of his counting house. Witness the inspiring denouement, 180 years in the making!

Which is how Anson and his friends, including the rakish French aristocrat Hurel, find themselves undertaking clandestine work in France, just as the peace begins to falter and the threat level rapidly rises. A Stormy Peace is a meticulously-researched and highly engaging book. A must-read for fans of naval and maritime stories.

Yan and Raul: The story of a man and a woman ... and a talking dog! by S. Sean Tretheway (3 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Yan & Raul - The story of a man, a woman... and a talking dog. Yan is clueless when it comes to women, but he's intrigued by a new arrival in town - the mysterious Raelene. Raul sees Yan struggling to impress Raelene and offers to help, a la Cyrano de Bergerac. The only problem is - Raul is a dog and Raelene is his owner! Is Raul really a talking dog? Or is Yan just crazy in love? Find out in this fun tale of romance and adventure - Yan and Raul! From a reader: By the tenth chapter of Yan and Raul, I was feeling pretty good about what the end might be... or did I!?! Every chapter that followed had me revising my idea of the ending. It's a quick read, but by the last chapter, I was out of breath. It was packed so full of rich stories within stories. I was embarrassed being caught laughing out loud, really guffawing, time and time again. Who, but this author, would consider that it is a compliment for a dog to call someone a bonehead. This delightful book covers pretty much every genre you can think of. It would fit comfortably on the bookshelf that has a "romantic feel" at the Sea Shelves bookstore, and would be equally at home on the bookshelf-roll top desk, "the kind you might find in Sherlock Holmes' study." It is a romantic comedy, and it is a tale of mystery. It has its share of adventure (think gun wielding drunk), and the kind of entertainment you might find at the circus. Each of the three main characters - a man and a woman... and a talking dog - are delightful and unique. There is nothing ordinary in any part of this story, and yet it seems so very familiar. If you want an easy read that will surprise you on every page, this is the book you should read. The language is occasionally more "colorful" than I typically prefer to read, but that didn't "discolor" the book for me in any way. I referred it to one friend who immediately ordered several copies to hand out. I hope it catches on. We could all use a clever and articulate talking dog ...
