  Not everything they told you is true… 
  …because it was my job to ensure you never knew the whole truth. If the American people understood what really happened, the U.S. government feared life would have irrevocably changed for the worse. 
  In Space Chase, the premier installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind a mysterious Lockheed U-2 "Dragon Lady" crash in the mountains of Nevada and the extreme efforts the U.S. government went through to hide what happened. Space Chase—also known as Event 21 Zeta—is the first in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever. 
  Never heard of Palmdale? The author isn't surprised, and believes you never will outside of these short stories. The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.

  Has love found him everlastingly too late? 
  "Judith Hale Everett is one of the most original authors in the Regency genre." —Mary Kingswood (author of the Silver Linings series) 
  As childhood playmates, Geoffrey Mantell and Emily Chandry forge a lifelong bond building a secret world where they can escape their unloving families. Then Geoffrey is sent away to school and goes into the army, and does not see Emily again until they are both grown. The disparity in their situations is then patently clear, and Captain Mantell cannot think of Miss Chandry as anything but a dear friend. He is called back to his regiment with few regrets. 
  Only after the horrors of Waterloo does Geoffrey comprehend all that Emily means to him, and he vows to confess his love at his earliest opportunity. But by the time he is healed enough to write to her, she does not answer. Has his realization come too late, or has something dreadful occurred? Geoffrey cannot rest until he discovers what has become of Emily, for his greatest battle will be for a second chance at love.

  Warrior and combat medic, Titus Cervianus, must lead a legion and quell the uprisings in Egypt in a new Roman adventure from Simon Turney. 
  Egypt. 25 BC. 
   
  Titus Cervianus is no ordinary soldier. A former surgeon from the city of Ancyra, he's now a capsarius – a combat medic. Cervianus is a pragmatist, a scientist, and truly unpopular with his legion. 
   
  The Twenty Second Deiotariana have been sent to deal with uprisings and chaos in Egypt. Yet the Twenty Second is no ordinary legion either. Founded as the private royal army of one of Rome's most devoted allies, the king of Galatia, their ways are not the same as the other legions, a factor that sets them apart and causes friction with their fellow soldiers. 
   
  Marching into the unknown, Cervianus will find unexpected allies in a local cavalryman and a troublesome lunatic. Both will be of critical importance as the young medic marches into the searing sands of the south, finding forbidden temples, dark assassins, vicious crocodiles, and worst of all, the warrior queen of Kush...
