FICTION
Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship
Brother Enemy (Promise of Zion #4)
Youth. “Jerusalem of 1948 is a dangerous place for everyone, whether Jew, Arab, or British. Yet not even the threat of sniper attacks can keep the young Holocaust survivor from searching for his family—or what’s left of it. Dov’s growing involvement with the Haganah, a Jewish resistance movement, may be just the added help he needs to locate his brother, Natan, lost during the war.”
To Cross A Line
Youth. “Like many teenage boys, Egon Katz, 17, a Jewish baker's apprentice, is full of energy, big ideas, and love. But his home is Nazi Germany; it is one month after Kristallnacht; and life as he has known it is disintegrating. He comes to the attention of the authorities when he is involved in a scooter accident with a prominent businessman. Rather than report to Gestapo headquarters, Egon decides to flee the country.”
65 Below
"Retired Marine Master Sergeant Marcus Johnson returned to his family homestead in rural Alaska after twenty years chasing bad men. Now he wants nothing but to hunt and fish and run his trapline in peace and quiet, and no more war. Lurking deep in a long forgotten bunker in the remote arctic hills is a decades old secret that could not be destroyed, and was never meant to be rediscovered."

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
Turban Tan
“The CIA has been dissolved. A new agency has formed. Espionage plays a valuable role in the business world of 2032. The excavation of resources is driven not by free enterprise but by the desperation to sustain those who serve in protection of the stock piled wealth of a corporate monarchy. The Drippy Man becomes a centrifugal outsider on the inside as the words from The Dry Advisor take shape in his understanding during the course of his next assignment. Betrayal in a stagnant, monopolized economy is as commonplace as the fitful wind.”
The Complicity Doctrine (A Casey Shenk Geopolitical Thriller)
Terrorism, conspiracy.
An Unlawful Order (The Chase Anderson Series)
The Orlando File : - A page-turning, fast-paced Medical Conspiracy Thriller - BOOK ONE (Updated and Revised Edition Sept 2012)
Dead in the Water
Pipelines in the Sand
“Through assassinations, desert warfare, and the frighteningly real conflicts in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, the story builds towards a chilling climax: who are these men, and to what lengths will they go to get their hands on classified information that could ultimately bring about the end of the world? “

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
The Eden Project (Peter Zachary Adventure)
“Deep in the Amazon jungle, a mysterious virus threatens all of humanity. When an ex-Army Ranger and a beautiful anthropologist team-up to find a cure, science and faith collide in an epic struggle for survival.”

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish
Columbus: Flight (Project Columbus)
“In the near future, bitter nuclear conflict has brought the world to the brink. As the United States begins to lose control of its territory to foreign invaders, Dr. David Benedict launches six thousand refugee colonists using three sleeper ships from Project Columbus, a decades-old government exploration venture. Their destination: Demeter, a suspected habitable planet orbiting a nearby star.”
Solitary 2
Short. Post-collapse incl time travel (?) Follows Solitary
which is also FREE today, but isn’t really in the same vein for the purposes of this blog. But if you get Solitary 2, you might as well get the first too!
Story Time
Post apocalypse with Sci-Fi elements. “In the not too distant future a young woman bears witness to the end of her world. Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions rock the planet, reducing cities to smoking rubble, burying entire islands and coastlines beneath cataclysmic waves. Religious fervor and human evil erupt and entwine, becoming a maelstrom of madness in the days after, bringing with it the horror of apocalyptic war. As a population in the depths of despair struggles to overcome insurmountable odds, can a single glimmer of hope flare into a beacon for the survivors?”
October Rain
“Mankind teeters on the brink of extinction in a solar system choking under the glare of a dying sun. “
Impulse
“When she's assigned to a surface Squad after graduation, Selene has to learn how to brave the world outside the mine. It's a world she's always been warned is teeming with vicious mutants, the descendants of humans permanently altered by biological warfare, making them little more than animals whose response is always fight and never flight. Selene has to be prepared to run, hide, steal and defend herself from them in order to bring home supplies for everyone else. When an accident separates her from her team on her first mission, however, the game changes. Forced to rely on nothing but her wits and a reckless boy who seems as likely to get them killed as keep them safe, Selene learns just how right the warnings about the surface were. And just how wrong.”

Collapse (New America-Book One)
“America is falling, ready to join the Roman Empire as a distant memory in the annals of history. The year is 2027. Tired and desperate, the American people are deep in the middle of The Second Great Depression. The Florida coastline is in ruins from the most powerful hurricane on record; a second just like it is bearing down on the state of Texas. For the first time in history, the Middle East has united as one and amassed the most formidable army the world has seen since the Third Reich. A hidden army of terrorists is on American soil. This is the story of three men: Howard Beck, the world’s richest man, also diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Richard Dupree, ex-Navy SEAL turned escaped convict. Maxwell Harris, a crippled, burned out Chief of Police of a small Texas town. At first they must fight for their own survival against impossible odds. Finally, the three men must band together to save their beloved country from collapse.”
