    The most hopelessly enslaved consider themselves free.  
    A mysterious, ancient manuscript is found two miles underground in a gold mine. Archaeologists are fascinated, and the story gains the attention of the Vatican.  
    Archaeologist Dr. Manuel Consuleo is intrigued by the artifact, and believes it will divulge information never previously accessible to humans. This other-worldly manuscript will confirm his notions, once he is finally able to examine it, under the watchful eye of the Vatican. 
    However, his conclusions outrage the clergy. Is humanity free, or are we the subjects of invisible overlords? Is control exerted on this earth through the reign of kings, priests and dictators, as shills for the overlords?  
    In this remarkable novel, author Lorin Brandon imagines human existence in a different light; one that establishes our true existence and allows to imagine greater freedoms, instead of complacent control and manipulation. Perhaps this artifact possesses the potential to enable humanity to envision a more liberated, truthful existence.

    A trail of bodies reveals the M.O. of a serial killer. It can only be the work of a copycat. After all, the real killer died years ago. If that’s true, then why are his prints left at the crime scenes? From Hilton Head, SC to the shores of Lake Michigan, this case calls for a collaboration of unusual detectives. S.D. Tooley has combined the characters in her Sam Casey Series and Chase Dagger series (written as Lee Driver) to create an exciting mix of mystery/paranormal and mystery/urban fantasy. Sam uses her Native American mysticism to help solve cases. She can touch the deceased or something the killer touched to pick up clues. Dagger has lab-enhanced abilities to aid him in unusual cases that seem to plague his life. Sara Morningsky is a shapeshifter. She can shift into a hawk or wolf which aids Dagger in his cases. A case this bizarre is right up their alley, but he isn’t ready to share it with another detective team. Headstrong Chase Dagger doesn’t trust ex-FBI agent Jake Mitchell. It will be up to Sam and Sara to keep the two from killing each other before the case is solved.

Could there be a connection after all?

    ""It’s almost uncanny how well Mr. Horowitz summons Bond’s mindset . . . Yet this Bond also feels the winds of change: 'He had his licence to kill. But was it possible that in this new, more questioning age, that licence might have expired?' A drop of retro pleasures, a pinch of things to come; shaken, not stirred."" — Wall Street Journal 
    Internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s third James Bond novel, after Forever and a Day. 
    It is M's funeral. One man is missing from the graveside: the traitor who pulled the trigger and who is now in custody, accused of M's murder—James Bond. 
    Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power. Bond is smuggled into the lion's den—but whose orders is he following, and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives? 
    In a mission where treachery is all around and one false move means death, Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.
