But under the streets of York lies a maze of tunnels, built from history, and filled with society's rejects. When one family tries to flee, Jenny finds her long lost father. Her brother, Jack, is taken north to join the British Liberation Army. This is theaction-packed thriller aboutunchecked hatred flooding a nation. Revolution is coming. Will The Fifth be ready? Reviews "although it begins as a dystopian thriller, soon develops strong sci-fi elements that aren't to be missed by science fiction fans. Dealing with a host of delicate subjects (with a trigger warning that also includes a message of hope at the start of the book which I appreciated) I feel that the author navigates this story well. It is very well-written and I was immersed in the character development of both Jenny and Jack, following on with Jenny's missions and hoping for improvements for Jack. This story is action packed, with twists that I could never have predicted and I would recommend for readers in the older YA market. I was eager to find out exactly what was happening and wanted to read the book in one sitting." - LoveReading / LoveReading4kids Ambassador (Indie Books We Love) "Sykes truly excels at unexpected turns regarding both the plot and cast. Some characters, for example, aren't as amiable as they seem, and more than one death is genuinely shocking. This book, even with its stark ending, could either be a stand-alone or a series opener. A remarkable tale of the frightening consequences of hatred and discrimination." - Kirkus Reviews

Dogged and Flogged Chapter Nineteen (Dr. Tex Arcana Book 19) by Scott F Neve Price verified 3 hours ago

Nineveh, Iraq Tex Arcana had become a nightmare creature. He remembered becoming drowsy while reading the book of Revelation. And then everything went silent as the grave and black as death. His soul died for an instant of time. Now he saw the world of the past from a sea monster's eye view. He was a blue dragon with a serpentine body ten leagues long. His deep hunger could only be satisfied with vengeance. He stared down his prey and opened his mile-wide maw. He choked down the city of gold and its wicked inhabitants. Death and destruction came to all as if frozen in time. Then the serpent slowly evaporated. It returned to the earth as it became mud and clay. The gods of ancient Assyria watched from the nearby mountains. They feared the wrath of the one true God more than anything. The male and the female sphinx and the gryphon took their revenge. The terrible trio tore asunder the olive tree that grew beside the river of life-giving water. But they could not kill it or destroy it. Ages flashed by in the wink of an eye. The tree always grew back bigger and better. The Babylonian gods with dual shapes hid in the deep recesses of the earth. The gryphon had an eagle's head, body and wings; plus he had a lion's claws and tail. The gynosphinx was a giant eagle's body, a lion's claws and tail with a woman's head and bust. Likewise, the androsphinx had a lion's body, an eagle's wings with a man's head and chest. Their worshippers dwindled until they were almost extinct. Their temples fell into ruin never to be built again. The ageless gods waited knowing that their seeds of discord must produce a harvest. Honey Arcana drew her husband's spirit back to the reality of today as she said, "The interpretation of the vision is this. The blue dragon is the Tigris River. The city was Nineveh in Iraq. Its treasures are in the river's floor."
