  The latest military miracle to come out of the Whiplash group was designed to eliminate any possibility of human error-yet civilians die when a computer-controlled UAV drone inexplicably goes rogue while the whole world watches. Now the entire Whiplash program is under fire, as the weapon's creator heads into the blistering heat of the conflict to discover if sabotage caused his infallible machine to fail. But there's an enemy waiting for him, determined to unleash more chaos and terror and death-which sends pilot Turk Mako to the skies once more to prove that, in the heat of battle, a skilled ace can do what no computer can.

  If you were going to die, who would you kill? 
  A hard-nosed former Marine/retired cop has a terminal prognosis. When a local priest is accused of molesting kids, he hears the calling of another mission and enlists a coterie of like-minded patients to seek his own brand of vigilante justice. 
  Tommy Borata has cancer. He realizes he can kill without consequences, and he’s got a list. A pedophile priest, a corrupt cop, a fascist political candidate. The hardest battles, the ones he hadn’t counted on, are in his own home: an alcoholic, unfaithful wife and bringing himself to accept his son’s sexuality. 
  Tommy befriends Moses, a black ex-con. As both seek redemption for their past misdeeds, with nothing to lose, they set their sights on Father Tarat. 
  Will his fight against evil and his own internal demons come too close to home?

The two of them felt an instant connection which led them to a whirlwind romance for the rest of her trip there. When it came time for her to leave, she just couldn’t do it. Acting on a whim, Phoebe moved in with her adorable, shy, and awkward summer love. Their relationship just seemed so perfect. When Phoebe found out she was pregnant after six months of being with him, Gavin was so overjoyed that he proposed to her—and she said yes. Her world felt completed by this man. Everything was perfect. 
  But as her pregnancy progressed, Gavin began acting strange. He was distant and quiet when they were home. When they were together in public, he was ridiculously protective of her—the slightest infraction someone would cause Phoebe would set him off. Then he began disappearing at all hours of the night, claiming to be going for walks to help him sleep. One night, Phoebe woke up to an empty bed and decided to go find him. As she neared their local grocery store, where she thought he would be, she stumbled into a scene she would never be able to scrub from her mind. Gavin was beating a man to a pulp in an alleyway before slitting the man’s throat. When she screamed at him, asking what he was doing, Gavin’s only response was “My name isn’t Gavin”.
