Stories From The Shadows – Gods...

Leonid Andreyev, Marjorie Bowen,...

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

The Echoed War - Sci-Fi Action...

Pamela Zych

In the neon-drenched, rain-slicked metropolis of Aethelburg, loyalty is a lie and survival is a weapon. For Sergeant Virginia Jackson, an elite soldier with devastating sonic abilities, and her commander, the ruthless Praetor Dominic Grant, this truth is the cornerstone of their existence. By day, they are the unforgiving instruments of the oppressive Mandate. By night, they are the deepest assets of the Unseen Hand rebellion, playing a long, deadly game of espionage from the heart of the enemy's fortress.
Their precarious double life shatters when a new terror stalks the city's underbelly—a rogue entity of impossible power codenamed Chimera, a being that slaughters both Mandate soldiers and rebel cells with indiscriminate fury. Tasked by the Sovereign Director himself to hunt this monster in secret, Virginia and Dominic are thrust into a three-way war, caught between the iron fist of their masters and a fractured rebellion that now sees them as the enemy.
But the hunt for the Chimera uncovers a conspiracy far more terrifying than they ever imagined. It leads them to a forgotten laboratory, a place of scientific horror that holds the key to the Mandate's darkest secrets and a truth that will shatter Virginia's reality. The monster they are hunting is not just a weapon; it’s a ghost from her past. Now, to save a city that has branded them terrorists and rescue a sister she thought long dead, Virginia must unleash the full, terrifying extent of her power, even if it means becoming the very monster she was sent to destroy.

Covert Ops - The Extraction

Steve Barker

Two hostages. One cartel. Zero margin for error.
When diplomacy fails, the Covert Ops team doesn’t. In the Caribbean heat, two young travellers have vanished, and ex-military operator Steve Barker and his crew are sent on an off-the-books rescue mission: get the hostages out, wipe out the cartel, and leave no trace.
But nothing about the job feels clean. The intel is suspect, the contact is hiding something, and the money is too tidy for a desperate extraction. From the streets of San Juan to the old walls of Castillo San Cristóbal, every step draws the team deeper into a web of betrayal, ambushes, and violence. What starts as a straightforward mission quickly turns into a fight for survival, with gunfire, chaos, and no guarantee of backup.
Cut off from command and surrounded by enemies, the team must depend on training, instinct, and the hard-earned bond of brotherhood to bring their people home. If they hesitate, the cartel wins. If they push too hard, they may never make it out.
Covert Ops delivers gritty realism, black humour, and authentic military banter from a battlefield mindset forged in combat. Listen as the mission unfolds through urban chases, Caribbean firefights, and a high-risk extraction that leaves nowhere to hide. It’s the kind of audiobook that keeps you locked in on your commute, your walk, or wherever you need a story with teeth.
Fans of Tom Clancy, Andy McNab, Lee Child, and Mark Greaney will feel right at home with this no-polish, high-stakes thriller where loyalty is tested, PTSD runs under the surface, and redemption comes only at the point of impact.
The mission is simple: rescue the innocent, punish the guilty, and survive the extraction.
