The Bond of Chains (The Xrath War Book 1) by Robert John Burke (18 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

For a thousand years, the armored giants known as Xrath were oppressed by the technologically advanced Armada. Only one of the common races rose to their defense: A plucky group of talking primates called "humans." The Liberation came, and the Xrath were set free. But the friendship did not last. The human race proved capricious, and spread themselves throughout the stars in their eternal quest for wealth and power. Meanwhile, the Xrath isolated themselves, suspicious of all outside their borders, awaiting their time of reckoning with such false friends. Now, hundreds of years after that first encounter, the time is at hand. Krion xk'Kialar, the bringer of thunder, greatest of all Xrath generals, has assumed command of their forces and launched a daring campaign against the humans and their allies. All that stands between humanity and a fiery judgment is the courage of an unlikely group of heroes: An arrogant fighter pilot with a troubled home life. A no-nonsense soldier trying to live up to her father's name. A castoff reporter with a chip on her shoulder. A mercenary with a history working for the Xrath. And a funny little man named Skyler, a technical genius on the run whose affinity for chaos may render him more dangerous than all the ships and soldiers in all the worlds... Full of action, political intrigue, and space opera, The Bond of Chains envisions a dark Universe where mankind struggles for its very survival, where the demons within are always more frightening than the monsters without. The Xrath War begins now, and the Universe will never be the same...

A Knock at the Door: Who is she? Who was she? by Peter Rowlands (218 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A brain-teasing mystery that grabs you right from the start - and then delivers A bedraggled woman turns up on Rory Cavenham's doorstep in the middle of a storm, convinced that the year is 1972, but claiming to have lost her memory. Despite his own troubled past, Rory is drawn to her; but she's fearful of authority and frightened of mysterious pursuers, and insists on keeping a low profile as she adjusts to modern life. Determined to help her, Rory finds links to two strong but compromised women, but the truth behind their interlocking stories remains elusive. Meanwhile, the pursuers turn out to be all too real, and the pace builds as the story lunges towards its remarkable and redemptive climax. Fast-moving and engrossing, A Knock at the Door defies easy categorisation. It is part mystery thriller, part detective story, and part romance. It even hovers on the edge of science fiction, though it always keeps both feet firmly on the ground. One beta reader reports "snatching at the pages" to find an explanation for the brain-teasing paradox at the heart of the novel: who is the woman, and how can she be the person she appears to be? Readers who have enjoyed Peter Rowlands' popular Mike Stanhope mysteries will be fascinated by this complex and intriguing tale. Like them, it is distinguished by vibrant characters and sparkling dialogue, but it also introduces some beguiling new ingredients that add extra edge to the mix. Plaudits for Peter Rowlands' mystery novels: "Different, colourful, imaginative and infectious. He draws you into a world where you're never quite sure what's happening or how it will end." "I've devoured his books with increasing respect... " "Rowlands' plots are unique, and as detailed and intricate as you will find anywhere... " "It really makes a difference when an author knows how to tell a story... I just went along for the ride, and it was a good one."

When one of its houses comes up for sale, the residents brace themselves for the intrusion of a stranger into their idyllic existence. They discover that the newcomer is Gavin Pendry, once a famous travel writer, and are puzzled as to why he should come to live in such a remote place. Molly, Port Cuan's self-appointed soothsayer, is convinced he is running away from a dark secret in his past, and her fears seem justified when the new arrival behaves suspiciously by deliberately shunning all contact with his neighbours. Laura, a local artist, sets out to discover the reason for this, and Gavin finds himself drawn against his will into the eccentric community that is Port Cuan. He soon discovers that his determination to stay aloof is being seriously undermined by his growing feelings for Laura. Yet, the more Laura gets to know Gavin, the more mystified she is as to why he has come to Port Cuan.

Ben Rehder Mysteries Box Set: Buck Fever & Gone The Next by Ben Rehder (20 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

This box set includes two mystery novels written by Edgar and Shamus Award finalist Ben Rehder. Included are BUCK FEVER (first novel in the Blanco County mystery series) and GONE THE NEXT (first novel in the Roy Ballard mystery series). BUCK FEVER: It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas. GONE THE NEXT: Meet Roy Ballard, freelance videographer with a knack for catching insurance cheats. He's working a routine case, complete with hours of tedious surveillance, when he sees something that shakes him to the core. There, with the subject, is a little blond girl wearing a pink top and denim shorts -- the same outfit worn by Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted the day before. When the police are skeptical of Ballard's report -- and with his history, who can blame them? -- it's the beginning of the most important case of his life.
