Clones. A step above droids in the humanoid hierarchy. Guided by the matrix, a set of rules and responses all clones must follow or perish. Emotionless as droids, highly specialized translator clones mediate negotiations galaxy-wide. Failure to close the deal means a certain–and immediate–termination. Whisked from assignment to assignment, few survive more than a few years. When clone T564 cannot break the impasse between two parties who refuse to compromise, her owners give her twenty-four hours to find a solution or die. In a galaxy where clones are little more than slaves . . . What happens when a clone defies her owners and goes off script? The first book in an exciting new sci-fi series, A Desperate Gamble introduces an unlikely hero: a clone who dares the unthinkable.

Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content). Bow Street's Best series, Book Three Benjamin Frake of Bow Street is accustomed to solving murder cases involving members of the highest levels of society-and seeing romance blossom between his suspects. Romance for himself is the last thing on his mind, until he meets Annie Gooden, a maid at one of London's elite private gaming hells. Unfortunately for Frake's wistful dreams of love, Annie is the primary suspect for his latest case. Besides having more motive, she's found standing over the victim's body, holding the murder weapon. Frake's logic tells him she is probably guilty but his instincts, and his heart, tell him otherwise. His attempts to win her confidence are roundly rebuffed. Annie has a very good reason not to love or trust Runners and she has no intention of changing that now. For the sake of his heart, and possibly Annie's life, Frake realizes this is one case he must solve quickly.

Thomas Kanti is one of the thousands of teenagers trapped inside a dome for a cruel government experiment. He is expected to form a functioning government inside the dome by the Free Nation Party, one that will be just like the FNP to show the rest of the US that they are the best party to vote for. Tom and his allies form an Empire to try to defy the Free Nationers, but have failed in their attempts to do so. With few options at his disposal, Tom risks it all in one crazy attempt to escape the dome, with deadly consequences if he fails. Tom's Empire is not the only government inside the dome. Several large factions, including the Twin Pines Republic and People's Federation, also try to finish the goals that the FNP set in exchange for their freedom. Growing resentment from the rest of the teenagers leads to a new government being formed, one that is stronger and much more vengeful compared to the previous power-brokers inside the dome. All of these governments bet that their strategy will get them out of the dome, but only one could triumph. Even among the Free Nation Party there is infighting on the fate of this experiment. Both Lt. Col. Rickley and Maj. Perez wager their military careers, and their lives, on who can successfully complete Project Patriot and win the favor from the FNP. Will any of these groups win the prize they are seeking, or will all of them go bust? Find out as the war of words and guns collide in the final part of the Project Patriot trilogy!

The Secrets of the Shadow-Men Magic? It's for the rich, the powerful...the Archmage and his elite wizards and cloud-masters. Livak is not among them. She haunts the back taverns of the realm, careful to appear neither rich nor poor, neither tall nor short . . . neither man nor woman. Obscurity is her protection, thievery her livelihood, and gambling her weakness. Alas, some bets are hard to resist. Particularly when they offer a chance to board a ship for Hadrumal, the fabled city of the Archmage. So Livak follows a minor wizard, Shiv, in an attempt to turn a rune or two, never dreaming that the stolen tankard she wants to sell contains the secrets of an ancient magic far more powerful, and infinitely darker, than any mortal mage's spells.

The prizewinning historian and bestselling author of D-Day, Stalingrad, and The Battle of Arnhem reconstructs the Battle of the Bulge in this riveting new account On December 16, 1944, Hitler launched his ‘last gamble’ in the snow-covered forests and gorges of the Ardennes in Belgium, believing he could split the Allies by driving all the way to Antwerp and forcing the Canadians and the British out of the war. Although his generals were doubtful of success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. Many were exultant at the prospect of striking back. The allies, taken by surprise, found themselves fighting two panzer armies. Belgian civilians abandoned their homes, justifiably afraid of German revenge. Panic spread even to Paris. While some American soldiers, overwhelmed by the German onslaught, fled or surrendered, others held on heroically, creating breakwaters which slowed the German advance. The harsh winter conditions and the savagery of the battle became comparable to the Eastern Front. In fact the Ardennes became the Western Front’s counterpart to Stalingrad. There was terrible ferocity on both sides, driven by desperation and revenge, in which the normal rules of combat were breached. The Ardennes—involving more than a million men—would prove to be the battle which finally broke the back of the Wehrmacht. In this deeply researched work, with striking insights into the major players on both sides, Antony Beevor gives us the definitive account of the Ardennes offensive which was to become the greatest battle of World War II.
