Sinopse

This issue, we have original mysteries by Christina Hoag and Greg Herren (both courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), plus a crime tale by Greg Herren (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Our mystery novel is Annihilation by classic American mystery novelist Isabel Ostrander, whose detective fiction was influential in the early 20th century. Of course, there’s a solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles, too!
 
On the science fiction and fantasy front, we have a real treat—Phyllis Ann Karr has been going through her files and found the previously unpublished short-story version of her novel Wildraith’s Last Battle for us. Plus, we have classics by David Mason, Cordwainer Smith, and Allen K. Lang. Our science-fantasy novel is Lin Carter’s sword-and-planet tale, Under the Green Star (the first of the Green Star series, very much in the Edgar Rice Burroughs tradition).

    An Evil Shadow Falls'By Wise Guidance, you can wage your war'The Sam Holloway TrilogyAn Evil Shadow Falls is the final part of the Sam Holloway trilogy, in which the former Special Forces officer and her team of warrior contractors face their most dangerous mission yet, in a wild adventure that starts in London and ends in armed intervention and death on the high seas. A nuclear warhead had gone missing and a terrorist mastermind, inspired by the events of 9/11 and a fanatical vision of Armageddon is planning a mass-casualty attack against the West that can only be measured in the metrics of madness. The Security and Intelligence agencies must make sense of a complicated jigsaw puzzle of clues, technical intercepts, source reports, and inputs from foreign intelligence services if they are to prevent Ground Zero 2. In a race against time, Sam's team, now including an unlikely ally, a refugee from London's postcode drug wars, and an MI5 agent within ISIS must find the deadly device before it detonates. The last book in the Samantha Holloway series starts in London, has its back story in the wild mountains of Afghanistan, and ends on a stormy night in the mid-Atlantic, with the Special Boat Service on standby and ready to deploy from a Royal Navy warship in support of the Spartan team. But even the best-laid plans rarely survive contact with the enemy, and the team must draw on all their combined skills and courage if they are to thwart a murderous plot that carries with it a horrifying echo of an all-too-possible future reality.***** Brilliant, been there, done that, Delaney nails the authenticity once again...'***** An audible treat that had me hooked to the end...'***** The action races off the page!***** Wow!! What a cracking story!***** This is essentially a ‘rattling good yarn’, a highly topical good vs evil adventure story, fast-paced and packed with incident.
