Flesh and Bone - Templar...

Joseph Nassise

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. SOME NIGHTS DEFINE YOU. SOME NIGHTS DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU WERE AND FORGE YOU INTO SOMETHING NEW. 
 
August, 1999. Lafayette, Louisiana. 
 
Matthew Riley has survived Desert Storm, transitioned to civilian life, and found work on an oil rig in the Gulf to support his family. After six weeks offshore, he's finally coming home to his wife Cleo and teenage son James. Two weeks of normalcy. Two weeks to be husband and father again instead of roughneck and provider. 
 
But the front door is standing open. 
 
And there's blood in the living room. 
 
WHEN THE MONSTERS HAVE ALREADY WON 
What Riley finds inside destroys him: his wife dying in a stranger's arms, her throat torn open. The intruder's face covered in her blood. Canine teeth too long to be human sliding from pale gums as the creature hisses and lunges. 
 
Riley fights with the fury of a man who has nothing left to lose. A baseball bat becomes a weapon. The living room becomes a killing ground. And when it's over, two intruders lie dead—one with his skull crushed, the other impaled on the backyard fence. 
 
But his family is gone. And the nightmare is just beginning.

Jeffrey A. Carver

NEW NARRATION BY AWARD-WINNING VOICES!
A realm at war.
The star dragons struggle under the oppression of an unseen foe—a creature of terrible power, who seeks to shape all of space-time into a web of subjugation and death. The Dream Mountain, source of knowledge and life to the dragons, is held by the enemy; and yet, hope burns in the dragons’ hearts. According to ancient prophecy, One will come from outside to challenge the darkness.
Star pilot Jael LeBrae may be that savior. Once before, the young rigger aided the dragons in their struggle, and now she must return to face at last the terrible wrath of Tar-skel. But if the prophecy holds true, the price of victory over the darkness will be Jael’s own life.
Captivating sequel to Dragons in the Stars, Dragon Rigger is genre-breaking science fiction of epic proportion and mythic dimension, from the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End, and recipient of the Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for writing science fiction. For fans of both Tolkien and galaxy-spanning science fiction. Narrated by the evocative voices of Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle de Cuir.
REVIEWS:
“Dragon Rigger is a most excellent adventure that would make a grand movie.... If there is a motto for this novel, it is solidarnosc, solidarity, the power to be gained by sticking with one’s friends, even by sacrificing for the good of others... There is immense verve, energy, momentum, and power... the reader stays with Carver all the way.” —Thomas A. Easton, Analog
“A refreshingly unique setting and excellently realized characters.” —Publishers Weekly

HIGH TECH, HIGH WATER, AND THE HEAD OF AWKWARD QUESTIONS 
A cozy sci-fi mystery from the winner of the Green Stories Prize! 
The year is 2101, and half of England is underwater. 
But society is recovering from the Melt, thanks to ArkTech, whose eco-friendly headquarters sit serenely above the newly formed Fenland Sea. 
As ArkTech's Head of Awkward Questions, Charlotte Vance is dedicated to helping Ben, the company's curious AI. Ben has a fondness for dad jokes, a knack for spotting anomalies, and happens to be Charlotte’s best friend. 
Naturally, when Ben notices a geneticist vandalising pre-Melt books and a librarian looking the other way, he sends Charlotte to investigate. 
What starts as a quirky case of stolen blank pages and clandestine book clubs soon leaves Charlotte caught between the black-market operation she thought she’d left behind and the company she's always trusted. 
Set in a near future that is neither utopia nor wasteland, Artificial Selection is ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven whydunnits, or charming sci-fi with humour and heart – perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Martha Wells, and Becky Chambers. 
“Honestly, I devoured it in one go, in just a single day – it was that good. It left me feeling hopeful, which is rare these days, isn’t it?” – Reader review
