FICTION

Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship

Lost in Barkerville
“Stranded in 1864 at the height of the Cariboo Gold Rush the threesome must learn how to survive in a dangerous world where often the lure of gold is stronger than moral values.”

The Plow
Historical fiction, short stor. “His father wants him to be a farmer. Thomas wants more, his dreams calling him west to make his own way. The tension between father and son comes to a head as an unspoken tragedy tears them apart. This story gives insight into what led Thomas Thornton to travel west, and ultimately seek his fortune in Alaska as told in Forging North: Life on the Alaska Frontier.” Forging North: Life on the Alaska Frontier was listed free here on January 4. This is a short prequel for those who got that one.

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy

Pandora's Succession
”Fox barely escapes after learning that Ares has acquired a hyperdeadly microbe--called Pandora--that is believed to have wiped out ancient civilizations. The trail leads Fox to Tokyo where he discovers that people within the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Japanese Intelligence want Pandora for themselves.”

Power Transfer
”Economic terrorism took the United States by surprise, it was the first time this tactic had been used. Hundreds of terrorist incidents across the country virtually brought the country to its knees, too late the offer of help from dollar rich countries was recognised as a trap. The power of the government was severly limited and industry was in a bad way. Washington detective Mike Scott was the unlikely saviour but not before he was taken hostage, moved around the Middle East and survived numerous attempts on his life. On his return the depth of penetration by the opposition into the government of the country was recognised and although partly dealt with still remained a problem.”

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish

faceless
”How dangerous can a social network really be? In the near future, mobile Internet hologlasses allow everyone to stay connected to online social networks 24/7. But after young computer whiz Dylan Sweitzer receives an anonymous, "faceless" message from someone off the grid, his virtual interactions start putting the lives of his online friends in very real jeopardy. His action-packed adventure forces him to face the dark consequences of living an entire life online.”

The Secret Apocalypse (Book 1)
Zombies. ”Sixteen year old Rebecca Robinson is the sole survivor of the Australian Apocalypse. The death toll is at an estimated 22 million. ... Sydney, Australia 3 Weeks Earlier A deadly new virus is spreading through an immigration detention centre in the outback. It is 100% lethal. ...As a precaution ...No one is allowed to leave the country. No one is allowed to enter. ... Despite these warning signs Rebecca and her friends are in the mood to celebrate their extended summer vacation, blissfully unaware of the dangers that are coming their way. Over the next few days, things go from bad to worse as the virus begins to spread throughout Australia, killing anyone infected and turning them into ferocious undead monsters. Worse, the military have been ordered to contain the spread of infection and to cover up all trace of the outbreak by any means necessary. Mass panic and hysteria grip the population as the plague reaches the outskirts of Sydney. Rebecca and her friends realise that it's no longer safe to simply go home and lock the door. They need to make a run for it. They need to escape from Australia.”

Just Reading

All The Way Home (Historical Fiction Best Sellers)
Excellent reviews. “an eight-year-old German-Irish girl growing up in California who, as the youngest of six in an abusive and alcoholic family, informally adopts Sunny Yamagata and her Japanese-American family as her own in the late 1930s. War soon separates Augie from her beloved friends, who are deported to an American internment camp for Japanese-Americans. After losing touch for 23 years, they meet again in Mississippi in the racially torn 1960s, where Sunny is working to establish voting rights for blacks. Injustice is a funny thing... live long enough and you're going to get rained on, Sunny tells her friend, and as the story draws to a conclusion, they are challenged to make choices that reflect their own conflicts about race and forgiveness. Tatlock (A Room of My Own; A Place Called Morning) adeptly traces the girls' journey of faith with a light and sometimes humorous touch. She does an excellent job juxtaposing the horrors of Americans in Japanese hands and Japanese-Americans in the hands of their countrymen.” “Readers who are jaded and skeptical about the quality of Christian novels will find Tatlock's fictional exploration of racial discrimination, hatred and the human heart a fine example of the progress being made in the category.”
