Sinopsis

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and fantasy front, we have a real treat—Phyllis Ann Karr has been going through her files and found the previously unpublished short-story version of her novel Wildraith’s Last Battle for us.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).

    This recording has been digitally produced by Ava Strong, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. FBI special agent Sofia Blake, with a Ph.D. in linguistics, can decipher any hidden codes, messages, or foreign languages the Bureau sends her way, finding patterns where others cannot and making her indispensable in tracking down the most heinous of serial killers. In Silicon Valley, when a brilliant software engineer is found dead in his office, the crime scene littered with lines of seemingly nonsensical code, Sofia must piece together the patterns to see what the engineers are missing—and stop the killer before he strikes again…

    Aja gets caught in the Black Widow’s web. First, trapped on a remote island. Then compelled to abandon the allegiances she holds dear. 
    Aja knowingly sacrificed herself to save twenty girls from the Spider’s Web child trafficking network. She also gave herself up thinking it would free Marsha and two other SHIELD team colleagues. Unfortunately, she never should have trusted that the Black Widow would hold up her end of the bargain. 
    So now, she and Marsha find themselves in the same predicament. Confined to a remote island and forced to survive under the most primitive and extreme conditions. Until the Black Widow whisks them off the island, separates them, and compels Aja to cooperate in a most unexpected project. A project that will have Aja compromising more than just her allegiance to SHIELD. 
    Will Aja’s actions doom her crime-fighting career? And where is Marsha? Is she being tempted or tortured into traitorous actions too? And, most importantly, will either of them survive the Black Widow’s clutches? 
    Aja Minor: Shanghaied is the fifth book in the Aja Minor psychic crime thrillers series, including Aja Minor: Gifted or Cursed, Aja Minor: Fountain of Youth, Aja Minor: Predatorville, and Aja Minor: Spider’s Web. Fans of fierce female protagonists with unique powers who overcome adversity will find a home in this series.
