Stratotech 027: Book One of the 027 Seriesby M. T. Lancet

Post WWIII. Israel.

Rexala has wanted one thing her whole life: to know how her father died. The details surrounding his death are a military secret. Since the communists won World War Three, the Alliance has kept a lot of secrets. And she’s about to become part of one.

When she is taken to a training facility in the upper atmosphere, Rex discovers she is an Airborne Elite Asset – a cyborg enhanced to survive at high altitudes. She and her fellow recruits are part of a high-tech military experiment that will overthrow the oppressive communist State. With the State having destroyed the internet and now controlling all other technology, this is the Alliance’s last shot at restoring world freedom.

But Rex has her own goal. If she becomes the best fighter in training, she will receive alpha status and gain access to all military information the Alliance holds, including the details of her father’s death. Training will test more than physical fighting ability, however. It will make her fight parts of herself that have been pushed down by abuse and survivor instincts: the ability to trust, to work with others, and even to love. The fact that those around her are involved in sinister plots, determined to win the alpha position, makes that a difficult task.

If she makes it to alpha, she and her team will embark on a covert mission to strike the most dangerous terrorist group in the world. The survival of the free world will be in her hands. But it will all be worth it to find out how her father died.

Or if he did.

The first installment in the 027 series, this fast-paced, apocalyptic military sci fi with cyberpunk and dystopian themes will thrill fans of S.J. Kincaid, K.A. Riley, and Ramona Finn.

Wolf Harvestby J. Michael

Love and friendship take a backseat to survival–especially if you’re a young male wolf on the outskirts of suburban Pittsburgh.
Coda navigates the city and forest, fascinated by these strange creatures called the two-legs and the metal beasts that transport them. He hunts game, encounters new allies, while enduring the brutality of bitter rivals. His routine of blood and stealth is interrupted when a mysterious female from another land enters his world, then turns it upside down.
Observing him is Amy–a beautiful, brilliant, but socially isolated college student–and Sam–a handsome, charming, college basketball star. Under the guidance of their zoology professor, they document the actions and movements of the coywolf species.
When they see Coda heading to northern Canada, Sam and Amy will drop everything during the blizzard of the century to follow him.
Together, these lost souls (human and animal alike) will discover that the only thing more important than knowing how to survive in this dangerous, chaotic world is knowing who you are, and what you’re surviving for.
Wolf Harvest is a tale of suspense, humor, heartbreak, bigotry, and cunning in the face of fear.

Creative and enjoyable for audiences of all ages and species, this book will keep you thrilled to the end. Buy Wolf Harvest and you won’t regret it.

All is Not LOSTby Shannon Kenny Carbonell

All Is Not LOST is the story of what happened when one woman set aside a lifelong dream in favor of her kids, only to find herself battling her own ego and unfulfilled ambition. Shannon Kenny Carbonell–wife of actor Nestor Carbonell of LOST, Bates Motel, and The Morning Show fame–knew she was making the better choice for her, no matter how painful, when she decided on full-time motherhood over career. Little did Shannon know she would soon find herself desperate to feed the part of her that was suddenly starved of creativity and accomplishment.

When she found out her family would be relocating to Oahu, Hawaii, while Nestor shot LOST, Shannon helped uproot their lives with as much true love and support as she could muster, thinking, “I’ll just have to be lost in the midst of LOST.” But not long after the move, a torturous family fight revealed the burden of her loss was also weighing upon those closest to her. Just like the LOST survivors, she had crashed on an island that would test her, heal her, and surround her with the people who would eventually show her the way home.

With a no-holds-barred honesty that is raw, sometimes heartbreaking, and often hysterical, former working actress Shannon Kenny Carbonell tells her tale of attempting to reconcile her growing feelings of failure and sudden loss of her identity. This is her journey.
