Not really sure to give this book three stars or four. It was really hard to get into because of the way it was written. The wording can get confusing and the change between past and present storyline. There was no clear indication of when the story was changing. Over all it was a good book. I li...

Semi post apocalyptic journey from propaganda to truth.Punctuated with newsflashes, attacks, sixth sense and a hint of romance the book has plenty to appeal. Starting after an event which is then told in news style snippits, but I would have liked an inside view of the past action.The locations a...

He knew that. General Paul Bassett himself used Charon Station as his main place of residence, and it had been the Colonial Marines’ headquarters for over a century. In that time, no enemy action had ever damaged or killed anyone on Charon Station. Space was a dangerous place. There had been acci...
In their preparations to sail they had made a point of placing a sailor from the prison ships on board each attack vessel.

Or maybe she’d just seen so much that there was really no alternative other than to remain calm.

Talking boys with Jules, going out for a drink with friends, running eac...
The Jeep was big and comfortable, the wheel chunky enough for his webbed hands to grab, but it was hardly discreet. He only hoped she was not looking out for pursuit. He could have stopped her any time since she'd disembarked. His own flight — chartered using the BPRD acco...
Six months to sell my London flat, another three months living in rented accommodation in Cardiff, but then I travelled to West Wales for a weekend and I found this house, and we fell in love with each other.Sounds strange, a house falling in love with a person. But that's what happened. When I a...
When he woke up the next day he stretched, unwilling to relinquish the comforting warmth beneath the duvet for the chill bedroom air. He’d woken with an erection and a dissolving dream involving Rachel from the bakery, and he smiled at the brightening room, sighing contentedly. He supposed he’d a...
Smoke hung in the air so thick and green he could taste it, and the bartender was pulling drinks from a tangle of pipes and spigots more complicated than a hyperdrive unit. There was even an all-Bith band up on stage—though instead of upbeat jatz, they were blasting the room with outdated smazzo....
Gabriel had told me that a demon wanted me dead, but he had yet to talk about himself. About why he wanted me alive, and needed to find Mad Meloy’s grave, and why whatever Davey had written down and buried with Meloy might be so important.I was just a soldier. I had fought my way down through Mal...
He covered it with his jacket. His arms were almost useless by then, and the tide and waves seemed to be carrying him toward the harbor. There was little he could do to correct their course. And in truth, he thought it as good a place as any to land. If he could drift past the larger Komadian shi...
Sometimes the girl tired and Hope carried her, slung across both arms or resting over a shoulder. Other times the girl seemed to be the strong one, forging barefoot through the thickening snow, climbing ever higher. The path guided them, and Alishia seemed happy to allow that. Whatever she had se...
His vision and hearing throbbed with each heartbeat, but the nausea was passing. Not now, he thought. Not while I need all my wits about me. He grasped the rolled parchment pages in his left hand, and they too seemed to pulse with each beat of his heart. It had started as a headache three years a...

Not only physically trapped within our home—and more often the bedroom where she lay—but also mentally hindered. It was a feeling I hated, felt guilty about and tried desperately to relieve, but it was always there. I stayed, holding her hand for hour after terrible hour, ...
Sparky spat. “Are you out of your tiny, birdlike bloody mind?” “Probably,” Jack said, nodding. “Maybe.” He was looking at Jenna, expecting a reaction from her as well. But she was grim-faced and silent. She seemed to understand, and he was impressed once again with his fri...
Lucy-Anne said. “He knows. He…” She trailed off, confused and scared. “I didn't see Andrew,” Jack said. But did I see someone with her? Just for a moment? “He came with me. From Hampstead Heath. Rook and I went there to find him, and Nomad was there...
For her it was not an unusual thought, and neither was the anger that followed. ‘Okay, babe,’ Tommy said. ‘It’s okay.’ And she groaned some more because it never was. Dawn made the Knoxville skyline beautiful. Their second-floor apartment looked out over Fort Dickerson Park, and the Appalachian M...
