A Most Uncivil War

Blaine Pardoe

Publisher: Defiance Press and Publishing

Summary

In "A Most Uncivil War," the second installment of the Blue Dawn series, Blaine L. Pardoe plunges readers into a fractured America where revolution has upended the constitutional order. Five years after the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, the nation has been rebranded as "Newmerica" under the control of the authoritarian Ruling Council.

When the presumed-dead Vice President suddenly resurfaces and reclaims his legitimate authority, the battle lines are drawn for an all-out struggle for America's soul. Former Secret Service Director Jack Desmond, now serving as Chief of Staff, orchestrates a desperate effort to restore constitutional order, while the ruthless Secretary of the NSF will stop at nothing to maintain power, including assassination.

As election day approaches, Texas National Guard Colonel Trip Reager faces the prospect of urban warfare in Chicago, while operative Caylee Leatrom races to rescue a captured resistance fighter before he's executed as a trophy of the regime. Meanwhile, law student Maddie Steele discovers that her conservative beliefs have marked her for elimination on her progressive college campus.

From desperate battles in city streets to clandestine operations against a surveillance state, "A Most Uncivil War" delivers a pulse-pounding vision of a near-future America where freedom itself hangs in the balance. The fight isn't just for power—it's for the very definition of what America means.

If you enjoyed "American War," "Fahrenheit 451," and "The Mandibles," you'll love "A Most Uncivil War."

Devil's Paradise: A love Story

Ramadhan Nanji

In Devil’s Paradise, Kamau’s story begins within the cold, confining walls of prison—but what truly traps him is not the cell, it’s the demon within. Haunted by his choices and the women who’ve both loved and lost him, Kamau reflects on a life that spiraled from charm and promise into chaos and self-destruction. His “demon seed”—a force that attached itself to him from childhood feeds on trauma and a world of survival over sincerity—this has driven him to hurt those who only wanted to love him. Yet through his darkness, one truth keeps calling him back: love has always been his greatest weakness and his only hope for redemption.
As Kamau recounts the women who shaped him—Denise, whose innocence he betrayed; Edwina, his intoxicating yet destructive partner in crime; Devina, who blurred the line between temptation and salvation—he begins to understand how his demon feed on every act of manipulation, every lie, and every kiss. It fed and had a hunger for power and his longing to be seen, to be forgiven kept blind and week.
Inside Devil’s Paradise, violence and tenderness coexist. Kamau’s reflections blend the raw grit of street life with the vulnerability of a man who, for the first time, is forced to feel.
This story peels back the armor of masculinity to reveal the man beneath: strength in destruction, scared by war of life, and desperate to love without destroying. It’s a passionate, emotionally charged journey that captures the magnetic pull between danger and devotion, exploring how a man’s greatest redemption can come from the women who dared to love him.
Devil’s Paradise is not just a prison story—it’s a love story born in the ashes of pain. It’s about the spiritual power of women’s influence, the truth of demonic energy, and the fragile beauty of forgiveness. In Kamau’s reckoning, every wound becomes a lesson, every romance a mirror, and every heartbreak a step toward the freedom of the soul.

A Roman Shadow

H.L. Marsay

There’s no such thing as a coincidence in York.... 
As Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year approach, the ancient city of York is busier than ever, and so is Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow. First, he has the theft of valuable Roman artifacts from a museum. Then, a Chinese tourist is reported missing. During his investigations, he encounters jewellers, chocolatiers, museum curators, and Roman soldiers—all pieces to a puzzle he must solve. After discovering a series of coincidences, he begins to suspect there may be a link between the two cases. 
John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who notices the smallest details about other people, but endeavours to avoid their company. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. Although he would prefer to work alone, he is ably assisted by his eager partner Sergeant Jimmy Chang. 
Shadow suspects he knows who the culprit is, but he needs proof. And then there’s the headache of trying to dodge attending an important party, even as the normally easygoing Jimmy behaves out of character.
