    INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
    In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
    Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
      
    It had seemed like an earthly paradise
     Only eleven months  ago, Olivia  Lessing  r emembered, she  had  considered  her posting  to the  Garrison Hospital  on  Miljura Island  a  piece of  good  fortune. 
     Now  she  recognized  that the Japanese wartime  base taken  over  by the British  and  Australians was a small, closed  world where daily  skirmishes  with death heightened the  personal conflicts. 
     Or was the disillusion just because her own affair  with  Commander Hugh Falconer was at a complete  standstill!

    What happens when the universe finally answers, and you’re not ready? 
    Ethan Rowden is a failing podcaster with twenty-three subscribers, a garage full of broken radios, and a habit of spiraling into anxiety at three a.m. 
    Then the static talks back. 
    A voice calling itself Nova claims she’s building an Archive of consciousness — moments worth remembering, voices worth preserving. 
    She is ancient and cosmic, and unexpectedly awkward. 
    And she’s chosen Ethan as her witness. 
    Suddenly, Ethan is connected to Laika, the Soviet space dog sent into orbit in 1957 and never brought home. He hears her last thoughts — her confusion, her fear, the heartbreaking trust she carried into the stars. 
    But the universe doesn’t hand out proof. The internet calls him a liar. 
    And Ethan is left with a single impossible question: 
    What do you do when the most important thing that’s ever happened to you is something no one else believes? 
    A quirky, surreal, and deeply human science fiction novella about memory, resonance, cosmic frequencies, and learning how to listen. 
    Book One of The Ethan Frequency 
    Perfect for listeners and readers who enjoy character-driven science fiction, emotional first-contact stories, and intimate cosmic mysteries. 
    ⭐ Early Reader Praise“An ultra-modern non-conspiracy experience with alien contact. A marvelous encounter almost no one wants to believe. Told with quirky, witty, fast-paced dialogue. Five Stars Across the Board.”

    Summoned to relieve destroyers that are bogged down by escort duty in the escalating Pacific Theater, the Hayward is met with a rather cold reception. In the eyes of Pacific Fleet sailors, North Atlantic convoy duty pales in comparison to the bloody, carrier-sinking battles of Savo Island and Guadalcanal. However, Atlantic Fleet ships have had to specialize in one thing: anti-submarine warfare. 
     
     
     
    The Hayward is sent off into remote South Pacific operating areas with orders to find and destroy Japanese submarines—but with little expectation of success. Her commanders take the mission literally; using radio intercepts that are being ignored at higher levels, they determine that the Japanese have set up a 1000-mile-long picket line of seven submarines, an entire squadron's worth, to act as a moveable barrier against the expected American advance into the next set of islands. These submarines are poised to sink every American aircraft carrier and destroyer and to change the course of the war. 
     
     
     
    What happens next is one of the legendary stories of the US Navy. The Last Paladin is high stakes naval warfare at its best, told with utter authenticity and a former ship captain's understanding of dramatic, intense combat. P. T. Deutermann continues his acclaimed series of WWII thrillers in this unforgettable novel.

    The Church fans the flames, hoping to usher in a cleansing apocalypse and return the world to a garden-like state before humanity can destroy itself and the planet the way the Ancients almost did. The Kala is prophesied to raise an army to oppose Soren, thereby obliterating each other and accomplishing the Church’s dark goals. 
    As the mismatched confrontation looms, Kala fears the Priestess’s prediction… that her friends love her enough to die for her. 
    With captivating characters and absorbing plot, this mesmerizing fantasy series explores impossible odds, the gravity of destiny, and the power of friendship.
