Operation S&D by Janelle Taylor (9 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Justice is blind. Vengeance sees only red. I did not learn of the cold-blooded assassination of several CIA agents, who were part of the team on our previous mission, Operation DFC, until it was too late. Spencer "RedDog" Watkins and I are still alive, but our loved ones paid the ultimate price for being a part of our lives, leaving us heartbroken and consumed by an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Black Viper and Raccoon survived the first round of murders orchestrated by the de Santos cartel and were assigned to join us on a total black op, which I nicknamed Operation S&D - Seek and Destroy. With new cover identities issued by the Agency, we slip into Central America under the guise of Lobos del Diablo - Devil Wolves Motorcycle gang. Our mission in Nicaragua, which is a tinderbox embroiled in the illicit drug trade and the internal battle between the Sandinista regime and the Contra rebels, is to report on other field operatives who are suspected of going rogue. The unofficial mission is to take down the de Santos drug cartel and leave no survivors. The men Spencer and I used to be died with the slaughter of our loved ones, leaving us nothing more than snarling beasts stalking prey, undetected, until it is too late for the cartel to plan a counterattack. We are deadly, cold-blooded killers with nothing to lose -- alive only to kill those responsible for creating us -- and the damage to my soul is so severe, I trust no one. If successful in destroying our enemies, do we dare hope their annihilation heals our traumatic pasts, or is there not enough humanity left to salvage?

The last Iceni by Ronald Haines (Haines Communications) (1 Review)    Price verified 8 hours ago

The epic story of the Roman invasion of Britannia, the battles, the burning of Londinium, the rise and fall of Boudica, and the great fire of Rome, told through a fast moving historical adventure romance novel. Celtic warrior princess Ceridwen's doubts about her prescribed future to marry Donogh and become queen of the Ordovices are underscored by meeting Marek, an Egyptian serving as an officer with the Roman fourteenth legion. While from vastly different cultures, Ceridwen and Marek share the same ideologies and are uniquely able to meet each others darkest desires. A perfect match, they plan for an idyllic life together once Marek's time in the army is up. Political change has suddenly put them in opposition, however. The emperor Claudius, who advocated for independent client kingdoms, is assassinated and replaced by Nero who declares the Iceni lands a Roman province. The Iceni queen Boudica, brutalized by Roman soldiers when she resists the takeover, calls her tribe to arms, annihilates the Roman ninth legion and razes the Roman city of Londinium killing all 70,000 inhabitants. All that stands in the way of finally driving the Romans out of Britannia is Marek and the overwhelmingly outnumbered fourteenth legion. Over 200,000 Iceni and Romans die in the ensuing battle and each believing the other did not survive; both Ceridwen and Marek are so overcome by loss that they become driven by blinding anger and the need for vengeance. Sustained for so long by their rage, what will they do when circumstances bring them face to face once again as opponents in the Roman arena? Will Ceridwen fight to reclaim her freedom as undefeated gladiatrix or will she remember Llyn's prophecy from so long ago when faced with that crucial moment?

Wizardry: Part 1 by Scott Crabtree (1 Review)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Wizardry: Part 1: an exciting, high-fantasy adventure novel. In a world of mighty magic, mighty weapons, mighty abilities, mighty intelligences - and the even mightier beings that possess them - the eternal struggle between the forces of good and evil tends to be decided by which force has the most... power! Jartan - a young, fifteen-year-old human boy - has just become a paladin. But his recently acquired rank within the noble and powerful paladinhood is one of desperation, and not ability. For an evil wizard of diabolical intelligence and frightening power, along with his demonic son who can transform himself into fantastic creatures of tremendous power and destruction, are planning to unleash a great horror upon the many lands - and Jartan is the only one in a position to stop them. But the boy has nowhere near the maturity, experience, and power for such a daunting and virtually suicidal task. Only an enigmatic wizard with a twisted and troubled past has the knowledge the novice paladin desperately needs. But this sorcerer has his own agenda - and can just as easily kill Jartan, as help him. The unlikely hero must overcome many challenges in his dangerous adventure. An abysmal swamp that is host to nefarious denizens, the village of forest elves, a library of evil knowledge, and the imposing Undead Forest are only a few of the deadly perils encountered during his travels. But these are nothing compared to what lies ahead, for Jartan finds the journey through the foreboding Underworld an absolute hell. It is an odious realm of darkness where lethal barriers, diabolical traps, and powerful creatures await those foolish enough to venture into the infernal depths. The four 'Caverns of Death' the overwhelmed and underpowered teen must pass is only one of the near impossible obstacles he faces, culminating in the lair of the great diamond dragon - and the gods made certain that nothing gets past the dragon.

¿Qué piensan los hombres? (Spanish Edition) by Tery Logan (24 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

Hay quien busca el amor. Hay quien busca sexo. Hay quien todo y quien se da mus. En un mundo que cada vez más rápido y de usar y tirar, donde las relaciones líquidas van conquistando el podio del amor y los singles prefieren las apps de citas por encima de la "tradicional antigua usanza" para dar con su "media naranja", cada vez se hace más difícil (paradójicamente, pese al mayor "muestrario de candidat@s") encontrar el amor y se halla de todo, menos a Cupido trabajando, que parece haberse ido a por tabaco. ¿Qué piensan los hombres? es una novela romántica con humor ácido que narra las peripecias de Guada, una mujer a punto de cumplir los treinta que, tras un divorcio, trata de rehacer su vida amorosa... Encuentros y desencuentros. Mentiras. Infidelidades. Miedo al compromiso... Los perfiles de hombres que van apareciendo tanto en el día a día como en internet en el círculo de nuestra protagonista y sus amigas son variopintos. ¿Las situaciones? Algunas surrealistas, otras dramáticas y otras extremadamente cómicas que te harán reír durante horas.
