  Sergeant Major Whitmore thought the nightmare was over. Three years following the incident on the island of South Fire, he enjoys the peaceful life of a retired man. But the past has a way of catching up to a man. When a mysterious and powerful figure reveals himself, Whitmore finds himself staring death in the eye once again. Caught in a web of lies and deceit, he is brought to an old naval research station in the eastern Pacific. There, he is forced to face his greatest adversary for the second time.Its razor-sharp claws can sever limbs with minimal effort. Its mandibles can separate flesh from bone like tissue paper. The lance-shaped stinger on the end of its tail can penetrate two inches of steel. For its victims, death is a mercy. To those who created it, it is considered a scientific miracle. To everyone else, it is an unspeakable horror. To Whitmore, it is a Specimen of pure evil.Replicated from the DNA of the creature on South Fire, it lives again. Sharing the intelligence and ruthlessness as its genetic forebear, it has outwitted the technology of Modern Man. Now it seeks to multiply its numbers by infecting any organism it comes across—terrestrial and marine. Only Whitmore and an unlikely band of allies stand in its way.

  England, 1944. As I look around the childhood room I used to share with my twin brother, Ed, I realize just how much the war has taken from us already. Ed was never the same after he helped our father in the Dunkirk rescue. Clutching his call-up letter in my hands, I know that Ed has fled, leaving behind his family and all he has ever known. But I know that if Ed fails to accept his call-up then he will be found and imprisoned. I’m his sister, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect him. As I step into his overcoat and study myself in the mirror, I realize there might just be a way to save him, if only I can find the courage to do it. Arriving at the call up, I’m told that I’m to become a Bevin boy, one of the many men called to work in the mines and power the country through the war. I hesitate, unsure if I can really take on such difficult work whilst my friends become land girls and nurses. But my brother and my country need me, and in that moment, I vow to do whatever it takes. As I adapt to my new life, I meet a young man named Peter, and as we grow closer, I realize that I am slowly losing my heart to him. But I know the risks if the secret of who I really am is ever revealed. How much am I prepared to sacrifice for the ones I love the most? Perfect for fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale, and Rhys Bowen, this completely gripping and heartbreaking story of love, courage, and a sister’s sacrifice shines a light on the forgotten heroes of World War Two.

  Fee of The Frontier

  Fee of the Frontier by H. B. Fyfe	- They didn't think of themselves as pioneers. They simply had a job to do. And if they had to give up money, or power, or love—or life itself—that was the FEE OF THE FRONTIER 
  From inside the dome, the night sky is a beautiful thing, even though Deimos and Phobos are nothing to brag about. If you walk outside, maybe as far as the rocket field, you notice a difference. 
  Past the narrow developed strip around the dome, the desert land lies as chilled and brittle as it did for eons before Earthmen reached Mars. The sky is suddenly raw and cruel. You pull your furs around your nose and check your oxygen mask, and wish you were inside something, even a thin wall of clear plastic. 
  I like to stand here, though, and look out at it, just thinking about how far those ships grope out into the dark nowadays, and about the men who have gone out there on a few jets and a lot of guts. I knew a bunch of them ... some still out there, I guess. 
  There was a time when nearly everything had to be rocketed out from Earth, before they organized all those chemical tricks that change the Martian crops to real food. Domes weren't fancy then. Adequate, of course; no sense in taking chances with lives that cost so much fuel to bring here. Still, the colonies kept growing. Where people go, others follow to live off them, one way or another. It began to look like time for the next step outward. 
  Oh, the Asteroids ... sure. Not them. I did a bit of hopping there in my own time. In fact—on account of conditions beyond my choice and control—I spent too much time on the wrong side of the hull shields. One fine day, the medics told me I'd have to be a Martian for the rest of my life. Even the one-way hop back to Earth was "not recommended." 
  So I used to watch the ships go out. I still remember one that almost missed leaving.
