THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH by Roland Yeomans, (Kindle Edition - Sep 14, 2011) 

Buy: $2.99 (7 customer reviews) |

No one talks openly of the misty figures seen walking along New Orleans' iron-laced terraces, casting no shadow. Of the shapes seen rising from sewer grates. And no one willingly visits the crypt of Marie Laveau at midnight. Into this strange world arrives the street orphan, Victor Standish, from Charon's Greyhound. Charon has to keep up with the times ... the End Times. And the teen destined to be called the "Ulysses of the French Quarter" has come just in time for Hurricane Katrina, the End of All Things ... and the deadly love of the Victorian ghoul, Alice Wentworth.

A Wife for Winsbarren by Anne Gallagher (Sep 28, 2011)

John Tremont, Viscount Winsbarren is desperate to find a wife. However, his fumbling ways in Society laud him as a laughingstock and the women he tries to seduce say they would rather marry his eighty year old father than him. In a last ditch attempt to secure a life's companion, he enlists the aid of a friend who comes up with the idea to place an advertisement in The Ladies Gazette. Over two hundred women answer the ad and John is gob-smacked. Could finding a wife really be this easy?

Unfortunately, as John reads the letters he realizes finding the woman of his dreams isn't as easy as he thought. Narrowing the playing field to five, John begins to despair after spying on the first two ladies. They are NOT what he was looking for.

Giving up on the whole scheme seems the best course, until he meets the final Lady. Could she really be the one he's been looking for?

The Information Age is moving at breakneck speed. Breakthroughs in areas of science that were once fodder for science fiction are now becoming part of our everyday life.

A group of graduate students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology has stolen a breakthrough in opening and stabilizing Einstein-Rosen Bridges, commonly known as wormholes, that allows them to instantly transport people from one location to another. Their goal is to assassinate any powerful politician and executive controlling the world’s banking system that would use this technology for their own greedy gain rather than the advancement of mankind.

In south Orange County, California, young Chase Manhattan, part of a new breed of modern-day discovery seekers, seeks to leave behind his life of danger and adventure and settle down as an associate professor of physics at University of California-Irvine. He also desires to build a lasting relationship with a beautiful woman he has not seen since high school.

His idyllic plan is postponed when he soon uncovers the diabolical scheme on the other side of the country. He realizes he is the one person who can prevent more murders from happening and either control or destroy the technology. Once the M.I.T. group understands Chase and his friends have the ability and motivation to not only take the technology from them, but also thwart more killings, Chase finds himself in their crosshairs, the top-of-the-list target on their assassination agenda.

As the death toll mounts, Chase and his friends must battle this group of misled zealots from M.I.T. on both coasts and in cyberspace in a thrilling, desperate race to determine the outcome of this monumental, once in a millennium discovery that will drastically change life as we know it—for better or worse.

Breakthrough, the first book in the Adventures of Chase Manhattan series, begins with a big bang and offers the audience exciting, unique, and diverse heroes and villains. The result is a fresh suspense thriller series integrating elements of greed, betrayal, passion, lust, unconditional love, coming of age, and hope. The action is swift. There are numerous red herrings, twists and turns, that will keep the reader turning the pages and wanting more.

America's Galactic Foreign Legion - Book 13: Salesman From Mars [Kindle Edition] Walter Knight (Author) 5.0 out of 5 stars   The inmates are running the asylum as Donald Crisp the Third takes over as the main character in the ongoing space opera featuring thrills, chills, and spills in the United States Galactic Foreign Legion. With General Manny Lopez calling the shots, things can only go from inane to insane – and Czerinski just throws up his hands as Donald Crisp charges ineptly onto the scene. A salesman from a long line of salesmen, Crisp is down on his luck and short on cash. Leave it to a USGF Foreign Legion recruitment ATM to make a deal he can’t refuse ... a little loan with big consequences. Crisp and his buddies, former Microsoft engineer Tony Pierce and former spider miner Shaky Jake, find themselves enlisted in the USGF Foreign Legion. Czerinski’s never one to give up on a grudge, so the three take the chill off at planet New Colorado’s South Pole, and later make a big splash in croc-infested Caldera Lake. Crisp’s ineptitude shines as he practices his salesman charms on the eternally irate spider commander. Oranges for scorpions, semi-sentient penguins, biting Blue Lizards, and ghosts from the past all make life difficult for Crisp as he does his best to survive while trying to escape the sharp edge of the Grim Reaper’s scythe. Despite all his near misses, the Grim Reaper doesn’t give up, and neither do the laughs in this thirteenth installment of the whacky military space opera. --------------------------------------- Kiwi Xmas Well, that's it from me for 2011.
