Skyfire

Beschreibung

The threat of nuclear war keeps Hawk Hunter in the cockpit—from the author who delivers “desperate, raw, 200-proof action” (Stephen Coonts).   In the chaos that followed the end of World War III, Major Hawk Hunter took refuge in the arms of a woman named Dominique. As he waged war against the Soviets, fighting to restore the United States, the nation’s greatest fighter pilot and the woman he loved became the most famous couple of the Free World. But Hunter’s campaign soon tore them apart, and he was forced to send her to Canada, where his enemies claimed Dominique as their own. Drugged, tortured, and imprisoned, she waits helplessly—praying for his return. After leading a daring raid to rescue his beloved, Hunter announces his retirement, declaring that only a nuclear threat could get him back into the cockpit. But such a threat is coming—in the sleek black nuclear submarines now steaming toward the eastern seaboard, whose warheads threaten everything Hunter has fought to rebuild. Skyfire is the eighth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.

The Eighth Row

Amir Rimer

A Chessboard Shrouded in Mystery. A Pawn's Forbidden Dream. A Battle for Identity and Power.
In the dead of night, under the silver gaze of the moon, the white chess pieces gather around their queen. Tension hangs heavy as the White Queen's voice slices through the silence: “There is a traitor among us.” Accusations fly, fear spreads, and the battlefield shivers under the weight of her words.
In a world where hierarchy rules and destiny is preordained, Lisa, a humble pawn, dares to dream the impossible—to reach the legendary Eighth Row and become a queen. But the White Queen's warning echoes ominously:
"You can only be what you were made to be. A pawn can never be a queen."
Or can she?
When Lisa confesses her forbidden ambition, she expects exile, but what she finds is an ally in the unlikeliest of places—Knight Henry, whose defiance of tradition ignites a spark of hope. With his help, and the loyalty of her best friend, Knight Tomas, Lisa embarks on a treacherous journey across enemy lines.
But in the shadows of the chessboard, loyalties are tested, truths are twisted, and a darkness looms—one that threatens to consume not just Lisa’s dream, but her very heart.
Will Lisa defy fate and claim the crown she so desperately desires?
Or will she fall prey to the darkness that comes with breaking the rules?
In a world where order is absolute and power is merciless, one pawn's courage could change everything... or destroy it.
Step into a world of intrigue, power, and the price of ambition.
"The Eighth Row" is a spellbinding allegory of identity, ambition, and the cost of breaking free. Perfect for fans of dark fairy tales and thought-provoking fables.

The Christmas Guest - A Novella

Peter Swanson

“Delicious…I defy you to stop reading The Christmas Guest once you begin.” — New York Times Book Review
New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family’s Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village’s grim history.
Ashley Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall, country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house, festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma’s aloof and handsome brother.
But Adam is being investigated by the local police over the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more sinister and terrifying than she’d ever imagined?
Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.A cozy holiday read Perfect for fans of winter mysteriesA delightful Christmas gift

Meanwhile, tourists are crowding its picturesque streets, and magic is being bottled up and sold as health remedies.
