This fast-paced literary political thriller is about one man's fight for freedom. It draws on bestselling author AFN Clarke's own experiences in the military and as the son of a low-level British MI6 operative living in different countries, cultures and political systems around the world. Rufus Reed, ex-British Special Forces is kidnapped from his home, falsely accused of terrorism and ruthlessly questioned at a secret CIA "Black Site".

He's not only up against his captors, but powerful conspirators from across the globe. Yet nothing is quite what it seems, and Rufus is no ordinary prisoner. As he cleverly starts to win over some of his captors, the shocking realization that all of them and not just Reed might be expendable, pushes them towards an agonizing life-and-death decision.

Meanwhile, parallel events race with unnerving twists and turns from Hong Kong, Jordan, Italy, USA, and Latvia to the highest levels of the CIA, the Knesset and the Vatican. And just as you think you know what's going to happen, another intriguing play is revealed, propelling the action to a shocking and surprising conclusion!

This controversial thriller is set against the background of a US Presidential election. It traces the roots of some of the world's problems to the abuses of democracy and tragic decisions in history from the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 to the present. An exciting and thought-provoking book, it reveals both the power of corruption and the power of the human spirit to rise above it.

'Grown By The Wicked Moon' is the first short story collection from Staffordshire writer Jessica Grace Coleman (author of the Little Forest series of mystery novels), and features 14 weird and wonderful tales.

This book delves into the dark lives (and deaths) of a wide range of characters, with a little bit of horror, a dash of fantasy and a pinch of humour thrown in for good measure. It will take you from a seemingly doomed girl lost in the woods to a disturbing business transaction, from a writer whose made up characters are a little too realistic to a spurned woman on a mission, from a mysterious hero in a small town to a bored ghost who finds out that death isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Whether you read this collection as a whole or dip in and out whenever you want to read a short snippet of spookiness, there's a story for everyone. All of these tales have elements of darkness in them, and all of them were written on cold, gloomy, wintry evenings, where they were cultivated under the steady gaze of the black night sky. These stories were grown by the wicked moon.

How many votes does it take to become President of the United States?

The answer, as Jack Patton learned from his father at an early age, is just 270... the key is making sure they're the right 270 votes. When his father passes away, Jack comes up with a plan to honor the man in a way that respects his small-town, politically active legacy: by becoming one of the select few chosen as a member of the electoral college, the only people in the country whose vote directly decides the presidential election.

But someone else has a different plan in mind... one that could not only put Jack in the center of a deadly political conspiracy, but could also result in one of the most audacious thefts of all time: the stealing of the presidency.

This is Part 1 of the 5-part series, which is also now available.

It's November 2019, and another U.S. presidential election season approaches. Senator Olivia Allen—brilliant and beautiful—signs onto the Democratic presidential ticket, unaware of powerful forces that seek either to control her or destroy her.

Her opponents are Frank Kenneth Stein, a billionaire who would rather be forthright than President, and Quentin Kirby, the Republican vice president, whose only passion is personal power.

Their bruising rivalry unfolds against a backdrop of national crises. China dumps U.S. Treasury bonds. Iran threatens nuclear attack. Hyperinflation looms and bloody riots sweep the country.

But for Olivia Allen, the greatest perils lie in the corridors of Washington power, as she finds herself a mere pawn in a deadly game of entrapment, blackmail, and assassination.

The Reed family learns what really happens to retirees when secrets the UFN keep from the public start to unravel.

Unfortunately, Charlotte and her autistic son don't know what they are looking for.

The Shekinah Legacy is a thriller in the tradition of Dan Brown, Steve Berry and James Rollins. In this provocative novel, author Gary Lindberg uses the form of the thriller to explore the limits and perils of belief.

WILL THERE BE WAR BETWEEN THE US AND IRAN?

June, 2014. The world is shocked as Iran's newest and most powerful destroyer, the Shaheed, explodes and sinks on its maiden voyage, killing a full cadre of VIPs, including a dozen of the most powerful clerics in Iran. The ship's executive officer, Commander Mohsen Saeed of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, ashore during the explosion, frantically works to uncover the truth behind the sinking of his ship. Unfortunately for Saeed, learning that truth puts him and his family in grave danger; he is targeted by death squads who want him to carry the secrets he has unearthed to his grave. Meanwhile, accusations of blame for the sinking of the Shaheed bring the US and Iran to the brink of war. As the net of pursuit draws ever closer, CIA officers Joe Cerrato and Cynthia Banks struggle to get Saeed and his family out of Iran before they are caught and executed in cold blood. Full of authentic detail from an author who has served as a field officer in the Directorate of Operations of the CIA, Hollow Strength serves up a compelling picture of the Iran of tomorrow, and the perils of real world espionage operations.

Douglas Frantz, author of the bestselling "Nuclear Jihadist," and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee describes Hollow Strength with just two words:
