The Apocalypse Crusade War of the Undead Day Oneby Peter Meredith

In an apocalypse there is definitely a beginning where mistakes are made and the seeds of evil are allowed to sprout and take shape. However, an end is not so certain. Once an Apocalypse occurs not even death is certain. Sometimes death is only the beginning.
At first light that morning, Dr Lee steps into the Walton facility on the initial day of human trials; she can barely contain her excitement. The labs are brand spanking new and everything is sharp and clean. They’ve been built to her specifications and are, without a doubt, a scientist’s dream. Yet even better than the gleaming instruments is the fact that Walton is where cancer is going to be cured once and for all. It’s where Dr. Lee is going to become world famous…only she doesn’t realize what she’s going to be famous for.
By midnight of that first day, Walton is a place of fire, of blood and of death, a death that, like the Apocalypse, is seemingly never ending.
What readers say about The Apocalypse Crusades:
“DO NOT pick this up until you are ready to commit to an all-night sleep-defying read!”
“WAY OUT WICKED”
“…full of suspense and intrigue, love, both innocent and romantic, hate, both blinding and unnatural, non-stop action, and a very real gripping and palpable fear.”

Worm: The First Digital World Warby Mark Bowden

From the bestselling author of Black Hawk Down, the gripping story of the Conficker worm–the cyberattack that nearly toppled the world.

The Conficker worm infected its first computer in November 2008, and within a month had infiltrated 1.5 million computers in 195 countries. Banks, telecommunications companies, and critical government networks–including British Parliament and the French and German military–became infected almost instantaneously. No one had ever seen anything like it.

By January 2009, the worm lay hidden in at least eight million computers, and the botnet of linked computers it had created was big enough that an attack might crash the world. In this “masterpiece” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Mark Bowden expertly lays out a spellbinding tale of how hackers, researchers, millionaire Internet entrepreneurs, and computer security experts found themselves drawn into a battle between those determined to exploit the Internet and those committed to protecting it.

Quest for the Blue Crystalby W. D. County

An epic fantasy adventure of magic and science, feelings and logic.

Centuries ago in an alternate reality called Salmineria, magic was made safe with the creation of the Strictures, seven limitations on magic that are enforced by the Blue Crystal. But now that safety is threatened by Kratia, a sociopathic female wizard, who transports a ninja (Billy Takashema) and a mercenary (Michael Drake) from Earth to carry out her plan to alter the Strictures and to conquer Salmineria. What Kratia did not expect was Nexus, an old blind wizard, taking Billy as an apprentice and awakening the magical abilities within him. It also awakens Billy’s sense of honor, forcing Kratia to imprison Nexus and blackmail Billy into going on the quest for the Blye Crystal.

The dangers are many: marauding barbarian tribes, a barren polar wasteland, and deadly guardians of the Crystal. Even if Billy can reach the Crystal, he faces a final dilemma. Does he sacrifice his friend and mentor to stop Kratia, or does he unleash her evil rule upon the land?
