This is a story about new-found relationship, in which love and duty vie for supremacy. It describes the journey real people go through when the consummation of their love is threatened not by a rival but by their own soul-mate’s “better self.” For all four people heading together from Maine to Haiti on The Wake (a yacht), it it is also a story of self-discovery and awakening.

Go on, tell me more.

History is written by the victor. As the story of how an eye for an eye blinded a nation, follow a first-person historical fiction through time and space on a riveting quest to rise from the ultimate patriot to the savior of the human race.

That’s it. That’s the description.

When Chief Warrant Officer Mike Duggins and his SpecOps team are assigned to a DARPA black site, their reality is changed in the blink of an eye, leaving them in an unrecognizable world, stalked by massive, draconic predators. With only his team, untested Mech Armor, and DARPA techs keeping the cunning predators at bay, they will have to employ every tactic they know in order to survive or risk becoming prey for the hostile carnivores. Can 5 experienced warriors and the DARPA tech team outsmart and outwit an enemy like no other they’ve seen before and find their way back home? About the Author I’m currently an over the road truck driver, frequently found at the end of a 400 to 500 mile day trying to peck out one to two thousand words on a new book. I’m an Army paratrooper with a background in intelligence operations. I spent six years in Iraq and Afghanistan, in uniform and out. Currently, my greatest challenges are black ice, lake effect snow, and uploading word documents to the ebook format, all equally treacherous endeavors. My greatest hope is to write stories that my readers enjoy.

Thanks, but I prefer my authors to have figured out paragraphing.

Set in 2049, this futuristic novel is the first in a five book series. It proposes a realistic scenario for man’s fledgling exploration of space and our neighbouring planets. The book begins innocently enough with an interesting, if not compelling discovery on Mars. Thereafter, it builds into a pacy thriller, encompassing the Earth’s mysterious ancient civilisations, spellbinding historic texts, criminal intent, sadistic cybersystems, failed relationships and adrenaline filled action sequences. A good deal of the action takes place on the surface of Mars – a planet which always fires the imagination, and one which will continue to be of primary scientific focus in the coming decade as the reality of a manned landing draws nearer. Other locations for the book’s exciting storyline include the Moon, a space station and a revolutionary space ship – scenarios that all help to cement a number of subplots into an astonishing, stimulating and thoughtful yarn.

That isn’t sales copy, it’s a book report.

A tardy vengeance means you share the tyrant’s guilt. The veil between worlds has been torn. The land is rife with death. The work of a man who desires only perfection drawn from religious lust. His son is pulled between loyalty to his father and the logic of his veil-dwelling guard, Kenway. Choices and reality become vital as danger grows with the threat of renegade groups seeking vengeance, and even Kenway is conflicted between his heart and his duty.
Success or betrayal, which will triumph?

The last sentence helps explain everything that precedes it.

A little girl who doesnt believe in Santa claus and she travels through the North Pole. She actually meets Santa Claus and then she believes.

Thanks, I don’t think I need to read the other 80 pages.

Anu has a gift: her personal vibration is in perfect harmony with the natural world.

And that’s where the description stops.

The Book of Power is an epic 40, 839-word supernatural thriller that leaves the reader questioning whether achieving one’s desires is worth the price. It’s the Monkey Paw meets Stephen King’s Needful Things.

…

40, 839 words isn’t “epic.” It’s barely not a novella.
