Life Strings by Bruce Borgos

“An impressive novel full of action, politics, and emotion” – Kirkus Reviews

More than anything else in the world, nine-year-old Jacks wants to help his dying mother. A simple blood test could allow him to do that. But what Annie Brody hasn’t told her son yet is that they don’t share any DNA because he came from an anonymous woman’s egg.

So why does the blood test show Jacks and Annie are related?

The answer is half a world away where a young woman is battling famine, disease, and an endless war to care for 20,000 refugees, the only family she has ever really had. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s made enemies with the one man who controls the supplies her people desperately need.

She alone holds the cure for Annie.

Life Strings is a race against time on every level, a story of a mother willing to put her son in harm’s way in order to save them both, and of another who discovers the inescapable bonds of blood.

One Step Ahead: (Gamekeeper Turned Poacher Book 1) by Denver Murphy

Detective Superintendent Brandt has found the perfect murderer.

Himself.

Brandt’s going to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end when you hear footsteps behind you. He’s going to make you look twice at that stranger walking towards you.

He’s going to make you afraid for your own safety and those around you.

Or he’s going to kill you.

And he will use his unparalleled knowledge of how to escape detection to kill; again and again, because the people of Britain need awakening from their slumber of indifference, having been desensitised by the violence that is gripping the country.

But DCI Stella Johnson believes she can catch him. There is no such thing as a perfect murderer; everyone makes mistakes. The crime scenes may be lacking evidence, but each one tells its own story.

Aided by her young protege PC McNeil, and with their personal chemistry growing as fast as their working relationship, can she separate the murders’ facts from Brandt’s fiction to uncover the person behind these killings?

Book 1 of the Gamekeeper Turned Poacher series, One Step Ahead, takes the classic cat and mouse tale and flips it on its head. The intrigue behind Brandt’s dramatic descent into criminality, and Johnson’s determination to change the game, has captivated readers with its fascinating characters and compelling plot.

Readers of James Patterson, Angela Marsons and Helen Fields will love this book! Fans of Dexter, Broadchurch and Unforgotten will not be able to put it down.

“…James Patterson but with a refreshing UK edge and a dose of realism.”

“This really is a gripping crime thriller as it grabs you from page 1.”

“Creepy and gripping writing, particularly the chapters written through the eyes of the killer.”

Beacon (Part I) (Beacon Saga Serial Book 1) by Jonathan C. Gillespie

At the end of time, a miraculous discovery threatens a vast refugee fleet, and a young family will be hurled into a deadly mission alongside dangerous aliens.

They call it the Shroud, and Beacon is the only star that survived its wrath. At this endpoint of existence, humanity lingers on alongside every living species. Vast layers of orbiting ships can provide you everything–except children. So when Mally and Tersias conceive, they are instant celebrities, lavished with accolades and gifts. But their act will carry a high cost, starting with the return of mankind’s most dreaded enemy. And the end will become the beginning, in this sweeping tale of discovery, of intrigue, of war, of love against all odds, in which the only thing more dangerous than the dead of space are a few terrible secrets.

Beacon – Part I is the first serial installment of the Beacon Saga Serial, and is six thousand words. Continue the serial in Part II (twelve thousand words), or in The Complete Beacon Saga, which contains all installments at a value price over purchasing each separately.
