Heir of Magic by J.D. Ruffin

Heir of Magic by J.D. Ruffin

She’s been dead a thousand years. She’s angry. And now she wants her throne back.

Irina was a powerful Mage who tried to crush the nations under her iron fist, only to be thwarted by the selfless sacrifice of magic’s guardian. A millennia later, her cult of fanatics plots to bring her back.

When magicians go missing, Guardsman Keelan Rea is charged with bringing the victims home. His gift of Truthreading made him the nation’s top investigator, but this search tests even his skill. The hunt gets personal when a woman he cares for is taken. The kidnappers’ trail leads Keelan across the border where he finds a trusted neighbor massing troops for a surprise attack.

A thousand miles away, Princess Jess Vester is destined for the throne. In her heart, duty battles love. When her mother tries to marry her to an obnoxious backwater Duke, she chooses her boyfriend over the Crown and flees the capital. The same masked men taking magicians now haunt her trail, threatening more than just her freedom.

Time is running out for Keelan to save the magicians and stop a war, and for Jess to save herself.

And if the cultists succeed and Irina rises again, the world will fall.

Rogue by Danny Lenihan

About Rogue by Danny Lenihan

The year is 2250, and the evacuation has begun. A rogue planet is hurtling towards Earth, and mankind’s only hope is to escape on the Bertram Ramsay – an enormous space station built to accommodate nine million inhabitants and ensure the continuity of our species.

Jaxon Leith is one such inhabitant, and he’s about to enter Compression—a three month internment camp where he will train to live and work in space.

The Acolytes of Gaia have other ideas. A faceless, powerful group of zealots formed two centuries ago, who have infiltrated the upper echelons of governments and corporations around the world.

They will stop at nothing to destroy the Bertram, and condemn every living being on Earth in the process.

Jaxon is drawn in to a world of subterfuge, terrorism, espionage and murder, as he faces a ruthless, invisible killer in a race against time to save the human race from extinction.

No More Sunshine

About No More Sunshine

Welcome to Stardust City, the central capital space station for sector 519 of the Harmonious Coalition Confederation. It’s three million souls spanning seven races from six neighbouring worlds living under the strict technological limit edicts of the Grand Council.

Exeter is Stardust City’s lone private investigator. An ex-HCC military storm trooper and SCPD cop with a highly illegal AI named Tink in his head, he’s a man just trying to make a living and a difference, one case at a time.

When the wife of a local businessman comes into his office with suspicions that she is being cheated on, it sounds like a story Exeter’s heard a hundred times. Because no matter what frontier humanity is pushing, their same problems come along. And they’re universal.

Making things more difficult than they need to be, Exeter finds himself contending with a variety of thugs sent his way by an alien mob boss. The tip he’d relayed that had led to a major tech bust was supposed to be untraceable. So, alongside catching his cheater, he also needs to find the leak in his network and end the threat.

On a space station city floating in the literal middle of nowhere there isn’t anywhere to hide from your problems. Exeter must face them all head-on. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers how small their artificial world can be, and that the consequences of looking for the truth are far deadlier than he could have predicted.

Moonlight Tales by Okoye Johnson Obiora

About Moonlight Tales by Okoye Johnson Obiora

Little wonder why animals behave and look the way they are: fishes live in the water, penguins do not fly, cats (leopard, tiger, lion) are distinct, cats hate rats, kites hover over flames of fire, snakes have neither hands nor legs, toads have no tail, women do not grow beard?

Moonlight tales is a compilation of twenty fiction and short fantasy tales, nineteen of which are centred on animals. It explores and reveals the genesis and reasons why animals behave and look the way they are. Each tale ends with a simple crossword and questions that could help improve a child’s intellect and moral standards. The tales are accompanied by 40 full-page illustrations created by talented artist Tereza Dostálová.

The Ultimate Mystery Shopping Guide: How To Get Paid To Eat, Shop, & Play

About The Ultimate Mystery Shopping Guide: How To Get Paid To Eat, Shop, & Play

What is it, you ask? I tell my friends who are curious about it that mystery shopping is when companies pay you to act like a “normal” person and evaluate their business. The idea is that companies want to know what’s really happening in their retail stores, restaurants, and other establishments, so they pay mystery shoppers to go in and evaluate their experiences while acting as a regular customer. The “mystery” is that the companies being evaluated don’t know about it. Well, their managers and owners know and are paying to have an evaluation done, but they don’t know which customer is the one doing the actual assignment. The employees do not know if or when a mystery shopper is coming. That’s where YOU step in!

Prophecies of a Himalayan Sage, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking

About Prophecies of a Himalayan Sage, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking

Free on Amazon September 9th thru September 13th. Explore the extraordinary wisdom and prophetic Insights of a true Himalayan Sage. Every thinking person recognizes that humanity is in crisis, ecologically, spiritually, and very clearly politically; in fact, any way you look at it. Theology has crumbled and political theory collapsed; technology complicates life and war; “critical race theory” and media corruption subvert truth to enthrone ignorance; religious fanaticism terrorizes citizens, inflames the world, and imperils every rational nation on our planet.
Radicalism is not alone in imperiling democracy worldwide. A spreading plague of misinformation gives rise to a corollary to Gresham’s Law (“bad money drives out good”)—misinformation pushes aside knowledge. Democracy is the most difficult of all forms of government since it requires an educated voting populace and the widest spread of undistorted information. We must not forgot to keep ourselves truthfully informed if we are to keep ourselves free and sovereign.
“At every step history teaches us how fragile and superficial a structure civilization is, and how precariously it is poised upon the apex of a never extinct volcano of oppressed barbarism, superstition, and ignorance. Modern civilization is a thin veneer superimposed upon the Middle Ages, which always remain.”
Why is this happening? And why at this point in our civilization? Are there answers to these questions?
On an extended trek in the remote Himalayas, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on an extraordinary opportunity. A series of adventures led him to an ancient Oracle Temple where he encountered a true Himalayan Sage. The author’s discussions with the savant covered a wide range of subjects, revealing a series of profound insights: “In your country what was once a government of reason and law has been replaced by a tyranny of men. The sovereignty of the people has become a sovereignty of manipulators, politicians as conscious agents of a great deception, the power of which dements even more than it corrupts. Your society is divided into a tiny group of men who choose and decide, and a small number of others who know far less and decide nothing yet wield power in conformity with the hidden policies, those who gather in your congress to go through the motions of democracy’s ghost…” —The Sage
Explore knowledge that has long remained concealed under layers of deception and secrecy. A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in the welfare of their country, their personal welfare, and that of their family. 2021 Edition Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 353 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device). For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.
