As always, click the cover for an Amazon link!
The blurb-
New myths. New magic. New monsters.
Less than a year after turning her world upside down, Ryan Fortner reappears in Niki’s life. Crypto Division isn’t done with her, and neither is the supernatural.
Their investigation of a stolen sword leads to a deadly discovery. A rift between worlds has unleashed Tugarin Zmei, a mythical warlord sworn to destroy Niki’s bloodline. It’s bad enough that her ancestral magic is barely under control—now Tugarin wants her head.
Niki must embrace her heritage to stop his revenge-fueled charge into the mortal world. A witch’s bargain, uncovering a clandestine brotherhood, and sword-fighting fae are only the beginning of the battle. Sometimes, there’s no going back to normal.
She plays a lot with Russian fairy tales/myths providing a very interesting read!
Next up is James Totten with a short story in his Pole Dance Aviation offshoot, Six Silent Men
The blurb-
A recon team is working the front line trace of defensive positions in the Donbas. Being sneaky is a prerequisite. Then all hell breaks loose when the team gets discovered. Tracers are flying, claymores are popping, and six men start running for their lives. Now someone needs to come and snatch the Deadheads from the jaws of death.
Enter Jason Kane and Pole Dance Aviation to the rescue. OV10Js and A7 SUPER SLUFFs start screaming to save the team. Fat Amy gets a load of Shitheads to go to the rescue. There is even and old CIA contract pilot named Toly that’s coming along for the ride!
How far will a Private Military Company go to fulfill a contract to extract six men that are knee deep in trouble? Find out in this belt fed action story that is ripped from tomorrow’s headlines. Come along for the thrill ride of a lifetime as the mercenaries from Pole Dance Aviation go all out to save six silent men.
Last but not least, a new release from Raconteur Press, a children’s short story, Giant Counting Robots
The blurb-
The robots are coming! The robots are coming! Whatever we do, we’ve got to be cunning!
Count along as they thunder into your town! Then translate into binary to communicate with them. This book is intended to be fun to read aloud, engage with, and grow along with a young reader until they’re ready for code-breaking!
From simple numerical concepts to the more complex, this is a read-aloud, learning, teaching book.
Most of all, though?
IT’S GOT ROBOTS!
So many robots of all shapes and sizes!
Count all the robots, they’re full of surprises!
This picture book will appeal to ages 3 to 10 as it can be read aloud, used to teach numbers and counting, and later, binary coding! Fun, educational, but most of all… The robots are coming! We can’t stop them at all!
And John Van Stry’s sequel to Summer’s End, Sometimes in the Fall will be up at Baen as an E-arc in mid-December, HERE!
I highly recommend all of them!
How genuinely realistic is Six Silent Men? I have become picky in my dotage. I don’t mind spending money but unless it’s very near “real” I set them aside quickly.
LL- It’s not. It’s a what if money was no object for technology and equipment.
