Storm and Shore - A Bardsaga

Donald Smith

Sinossi

Commissioned especially for Scotland's Year of Stories, Storm and Shore connects the west coast of Scotland's rich mythological past with the present day.
When artist Lucy Salter comes to a remote Argyll coastline she aims to connect with nature in its wild state. Aid worker Dave McArthur is fleeing traumatic conflict. But they have both ventured into a borderland, layered by history, migration and repressed violence.
It is a liminal place, storied by centuries of settlement and travel.
Yet local tradition bearers, bard and seannachaidh, can channel the past. From these hauntings, a storytelling tapestry is woven from the sea, nature myth and weather. The long roots of our global crisis are laid bare in landfalls, wherein the crucible of Gaelic tradition, creatures of the sea meet the shore.

Bodies from the Library brings into the daylight the forgotten, the lost and the unknown, and the 2023 volume is another indispensable collection for crime fans.
The sixth volume of Bodies from the Library includes the usual eclectic mix of pre- and post-war stories by classic crime and thriller writers. Unearthed from ephemeral publications, newspapers and magazines, some of these ‘lost’ stories are by authors who have appeared in previous volumes, with others who are new to the series:
We welcome back to the Library familiar Golden Age detective writers in the form of stories by Christianna Brand, Alice Campbell, Joseph Commings and Cyril Hare, a previously unknown novella by Anthony Gilbert, and a short novel by Margery Allingham.
We also welcome for the first time George Bellairs, Victor Whitechurch and Andrew Garve, with E. C. Bentley’s ‘Greedy Night’ providing a humorous parody of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey, before five thriller writers including Geoffrey Household and Dennis Wheatley round off the collection with an unusual and exciting round-robin novella.
And, whether this is your first encounter with Bodies or a return to the Library, we welcome you, the reader. Complete with revealing biographies of all 16 featured authors by Tony Medawar, we hope you will find this to be an indispensable collection for your bookshelf.
This anthology, curated by Tony Medawar, is a treasure trove of the best and top thrillers from the historical and traditional crime fiction genre. Each story is a testament to the author's unique storytelling prowess, making it a must-have for every aficionado's bookshelf.
For fans of Tony Medawar (Ghosts from the Library), Mike Ripley (Mr Campion's Memory), Ann Cleeves (The Raging Storm), and Cecily Gayford (Murder under the Christmas Tree).

Spy Games - Espionage Cyber Dome...

Bill DeFoor

SPY GAMES: a rollercoaster of global espionage, suspense, seduction, and technological innovations. A 22nd century James Bond adventure, with a bold new twist. Spies are beautiful women who “burn hot”, and they want our hero (Bill Bailey) from 2017. He and his Android friend (Griffin) are building a clandestine Cyber Dome, and they can telepathically communicate and access human memories. China wants their secrets.
In this 2129 gender-reversed 007 world of lady spies, our hero from 2017 loses his heart (twice actually) while dodging (most) bullets trying to expose China’s plan for world domination.
Everyone wants to know Bill’s secrets as China tries to kidnap, then kill him.
Bill controls the six most advanced androids ever built (Neuros). They’re developing CRICKET, the conscience of the world, a secret cyber dome that can do little things like render ships, weapons, and nuclear armaments harmless; shut down power grids, transportation, and communications hubs; and penetrate other nations’ cyber-security systems. Only the U.S. President, America’s top spy, and Bill know about Cricket, but keeping it hidden from the beautiful spies Bill is working with is a formidable challenge as he travels the world.
The ending will shock you!
This is the second book in the 2129 Series. It begins the international James Bond 007 spy adventure theme, except the spies are all beautiful women who “burn hot”. Bill struggles with his 20th-century values while advancing the evolution of his android friends.

The Not So Fake Wedding Date

Kait Flynn

She needed someone safe. I volunteered to be hers. Now I just have to survive pretending it's temporary.I've faced ambushes, firefights, and twelve months in the desert. None of it prepared me to walk into my hometown and see Austen MacAvoy again—my best friend's little sister, the girl I've been secretly in love with for over a decade. 
 
She doesn't know that part. To her, I'm still just Clint. Her brother's buddy. The guy who sends back snarky letters from deployment and always shows up with good manners and bad jokes. 
 
But when her cousin's wedding gets complicated—and her ex is suddenly a groomsman with a date—she needs someone on her arm. Someone who can fake a relationship long enough to save her pride. I can do that. I'd do just about anything for Austen. 
 
We agree it's pretend. Just a few dates. Just long enough to convince her nosy relatives and make the ex regret his life choices. But the more time we spend together—bowling, dancing, cooking dinner for two—the more impossible it is to pretend. 
 
She's everything I've ever wanted. And this fake wedding date? It might just be my real shot at forever. 
 
Contains mature themes.
