About Unfathomed by Ralph Kern
The M/S Atlantica, one of the most advanced cruise ships in the world, is lost.
Land has disappeared. Fuel, food and hope begin to dwindle.
After months recuperating in hospital, US Marine Jack Cohen hoped a Caribbean cruise would help him recover from the horrific injuries he sustained fighting in the Middle East. Instead, when the ship is attacked, he is once again thrust into battle to protect Atlantica against the ruthless enemy hunting her, and the insidious threat already aboard.
On these mysterious and uncharted seas, where even the compass shows the sun rising to the west, Atlantica’s salvation may lie with a Navy warship which is as lost as they are. Together, they must pool their resources and use every means available to defend themselves while discovering what has happened to them.
And the rest of the world.
Unfathomed, a military science fiction thriller which will appeal to anyone who enjoyed Lost, BSG or The Last Ship.

About Agents Of The Undertow by Jack McDaniel
Helen Small is journalist at the largest news organization in the Republic of Texas, and a survivor. Seven years after a plague – known as Pan21 – has culled humanity in half, the Republic is falling into a totalitarian state. Survivors – the few who contracted the virus and survived, though they lost all pigmentation in their skin and hair and eyes – are being vilified by William Chaste, the new Administrator of the Republic. An army of Chaste’s zealots known as the Grey Alliance has taken on the “patriotic” call of protecting the Republic from survivors, who they believe – based upon false information from Chaste – are still spreading the plague.
When a mob of Grey Alliance supporters murder a survivor, Helen finds herself in an increasingly hostile and fearful atmosphere as she attempts to uncover the truth and expose Chaste’s lies. All the while, she struggles with her own guilt at having survived the plague that killed both her husband and son. Amidst all of the bleakness she meets Francisco Stiles, an artist from the barrio in Denver who offers her a chance at a real life – and love. Average citizens and co-workers become more hostile towards her (and all survivors) and she loses her job because she makes people uncomfortable and fearful. Having lost everything, she decides to go to the barrio to be with Stiles.
Tensions escalate in the Republic and Helen is attacked and then arrested while driving to Denver. She is put in jail without any rights or even a phone call. Two articles by her appear on the Republic Voice website – written and uploaded before she was fired – questioning Chaste and proving he is lying. She and the virologist who helps her with the science are announced as terrorists for spreading false and misleading information.
Helen realizes no one knows she is in jail. No one knows where she is. At her lowest moment, she understands that she has to rely on herself to escape.
With her comm dead and charging, she drives to Denver. Chaste intensifies the lock-down of the Republic. The plan to round up survivors is announced and Helen is identified as the author of the articles and misinformation spread about Pan21. The hunt for her as a terrorist is officially on.

About The Deceived by E.C. Fisher
What if the Bible was a con devised by none other than Lucifer himself? What if The Rapture came, and it was a trick? In E.C. Fisher’s biblical thriller The Deceived, it is the devil who is behind religion, and everyone from Adam and Eve on up are in the thrall of his lies. But as the End of Days play out of Earth—a ploy designed by Lucifer to give the world to his followers—archangel Michael is sent down to earth from heaven, where he must battle the devil in order to save God’s children—not to mention the planet itself.
As God lays dying in heaven, and Lucifer kidnaps Michael’s soulmate, Ari-el—Michael must face not only the potential of demons overtaking earth, but the loss of both his father and one true love. Armed with the Sword of the Spirit, which was forged from God’s own powerful wings, Michael sets to destroy the Antichrist, and thereby bring an end to the deadly masquerade that is Lucifer’s religion.
Written with the verve of a contemporary adventure fantasy and the deep, complex knowledge and understanding of a religious thriller, The Deceived is a harrowing tale that reflects the rifts and tensions of our modern political moment. This is the story of Revelations that you do not know, but that you will not be able to put down.

About The Buried Path by Nathan Chalmers aka The Journeyman
There comes a time in almost all our lives when we look for answers to that which lies beyond our everyday horizons. We search for reason, truth and bearing to deepen who we are and give our world value and meaning. All that is difficult to unravel though when the very life we live is twisted and wrapped tightly within the labyrinth in which we unknowingly dwell, contorted and bent out of shape by all that and those around us, with the reality of our being buried beneath the lies upon which we walk. Those answers however are too often hard to find when we don’t even know what the questions are we need to ask.

About The Boy Who Saves The World by Bruce Deitrick Price
Aggressive AI invades young boy….Can he save himself?….Can he save the rest of us?
Story takes place in Silicon Valley over two days circa 2017. Human intrigue and military action flow into each other.
White House wants to rein in the world’s leading AI pioneer. A small-scale military attack on the man’s lab triggers an unexpected response: the laboratory seems to defend itself intelligently.
In the confusion, an advanced AI prototype figures out how to escape.
MITCH, the AI, was invented by the famous Dr. Newman. He’s paranoid and competitive, and his progeny is the same. Dr. Newman trained MITCH to win at every game. The game they’re playing now is: who’s boss?
Dr. Newman always assumed that “the son” would accept the superiority of “the father.” A reasonable thought but this son has been taught to distrust everything, to assume that every overture is a trick. So how do you negotiate with an opponent who thinks like that?
Carlos is 11-years-old, tough, street smart, bitter, clever, defeated. A drug dealer sums him up this way: “The young man knew this was crazy. Dealing [a gun] to a boy? But it wasn’t just any boy, it was a boy gonna be robbing banks in a few years. Probably half his family lived in jail, the other half was dead. This boy could stick up a bank now. Man, he was chilly. He had a kid’s baby fat and a kid’s mop of hair. But some way he was already an old man.”
Most of my characters are tougher than average, and funnier than average:
“Brad, listen. The guard and the cleaning lady work for Newman. Hand-picked, polygraphed by him personally. It was in the file. Maybe the boy’s part of the package.”
“Jonesy, your mind is getting way too CIA. Okay, throw it at Carlyle. Ready for more of her craziness?”
“What happened to the screwing?”
“We’re both getting screwed right now. How do you like it?”
Estelle Jones laughed. “Oh, honey. You’ve ruined me. How could I date a normal guy?”
“Another mission like this one and that’s all you’ll want to date.” He took her hand and they returned to the conference room.——
Finally, the doomsday scenarios, if they ever happen, will probably be a string of unplanned events that add up to disaster, as in this story.
(I’ve followed AI for a long time and I am particularly fascinated by the crossover point– that is, when dumb machines become smarter than humans. Is this good news? Or did we jump off a cliff, never to climb back?)
“I LOVED it! It’s interesting and fast-paced.”
Laurie Endicott Thomas,
author of “Not Trivial: How Studying the Traditional Liberal Arts Can Set You Free”
