FICTION
Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship
Off the Grid (A Jamie Keller Mystery)
"Upon arriving at the ranch, the Kellers are met with further disappointment when they discover that the 'ranch' is nothing more than an old trailer, situated off the grid. Jake is in his element, with the challenge of solar panels, batteries and generators, but the girls are far from enchanted. War, religion, world peace, inner peace, dealing with financial stress, and self sufficiency are some of the key topics in this often humorous story." and the sequel…
Over the Edge (A Jamie Keller Mystery)
Blind Trail
Action and Adventure, Western, main character is a lieutenant who’s been blinded in an accident, part of the story he “s left alone in the wilderness, vulnerable to all Fate can throw at him. He is kept alive by one burning ambition: to track down his brother’s killer. Surmounting incredible difficulties…”
LEAVES OF BLOOD: An American Civil War Novel (military fiction books)
Wadi Dogs
“An insurgent sniper is terrorizing the city. After only a few days in Iraq an elite platoon of Marine scout-snipers are assigned their first mission. The men must search house after house, room by room to locate the elusive terrorist, but after several months of hunting the platoon's medic begins to lose his grip on reality. In order to survive Andrew must battle not only a merciless insurgency but his own inner demons as well.”
Settlers In T'Dale
Set “in the heart of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales…After many exciting, and a few hilarious adventures, they become the owners of ‘Nab’s Head Farm’, and find themselves involved in life in the Dale. Sometimes humorous, occasionally sad, this novel is full of drama but also allows the reader to occasionally drift along in pure nostalgia, only to be swept back into the story. There are times when Peter and Susan despair… But never young Jim.
The Ledger
“Hans Krüger, a German army officer, must conceal his love for Aimée Ferrand… With World War Two raging and the deportation of Jews escalating, Hans learns Aimée and her entire family are intended for arrest and deportation. In response, he executes a daring and courageous plan to rescue them from the fatal grip of the Gestapo, a plan enacted against all odds and borne of selfless love.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
7G
Technology failure. “an unexpected programming glitch proves fatal, spelling disaster for the nation. In the aftermath of 7G, the fates of (two people) entwine. Will they escape and manage to survive in a crippled world?”
Blood Fruit
Short story. “When his pampered world loses the technology it depends on, extinction looms faster than lonely survivor Levo could ever have expected. “ (Not sure what the blood refers to. I hope it’s not zombies.)
Caliphate
Not free in Canada, probably USA only. “In the 22nd century European deathbed demographics have turned the continent over to the more fertile Moslems. Atheism in Europe has been exterminated. Homosexuals are hanged, stoned or crucified. Such Christians as remain are relegated to dhimmitude, a form of second class citizenship. They are denied arms, denied civil rights, denied a voice, and specially taxed via the Koranic yizya. Their sons are taken as conscripted soldiers while their daughters are subject to the depredations of the continent's new masters. In that world, Petra, a German girl sold into prostitution as a slave at the age of nine to pay her family's yizya, dreams of escape. Unlike most girls of the day, Petra can read. And in her only real possession, her grandmother's diary, a diary detailing the fall of European civilization, Petra has learned of a magic place across the sea: America. But it will take more than magic to free Petra and Europe from their bonds; it will take guns, superior technology, and a reborn spirit of freedom.”
Mountain Woman (Mountain Woman Adventures 1)
“…She finds herself trapped in the wilderness, living with a stranger, fighting for her life against Indian renegades and slave traders. She must learn to adapt to a life she never would have dreamed of living and become a ruthless mountain woman to survive.”
THE LAND OF THE FREE: 2084 - Tomorrow is Today
"the world has spiraled from economic collapse, limited nuclear war, and global anarchy into a United World under the protection of The Program. History has effectively been forgotten, religion eliminated, and the distinguishing line between reality and fantasy ceases to exist. The story follows Joe Peregrine, an officer with Death Patrol of the state media. When he witnesses a political assassination he begins to question The Program. As he seeks the truth behind the bread and circuses of Newsertainment, he finds his new awareness of reality increasingly at odds with tyranny...2084 reveals a startling future where the pursuit of pleasure has subjugated the individual in the name of personal freedom.

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish
A Game Before the Darkness
Youth, dystopia. High reviews. “Convinced that it has some unknown meaning, Topin sets out to find the truth, only to discover that the Game is much more important than he could have suspected: it holds the only means of preventing humanity's extinction. As Topin is hunted by the society he is trying to save, he faces a journey to the farthest reaches of his world, and into the secret depths of its history.”

A Day in the Life of a Professor
“Life as a professor can be hectic and stressful - especially when you're the only woman in a faculty of 140 men! From the classroom to the boardroom - there's never a dull moment. This little book contains five short stories describing some of my experiences – both strange and comical – to give you a taste of life as a professor.”
NORMAN
“a biographical story based on the fascinating true life exploits of a man born out of his time. The anecdotes are based on his own words as told to his friends and family. The gentle chivalrous man, born to Victorian parents was forced to adapt to the horrors of the changing world.” I read the “look inside” teaser and it seemed very interesting.
Time Traders
Not free in Canada, probably USA only.
Classic vintage sci-fi, first published 1958. By Andre Norton, famous prolific writer. I have lots from this author.
“Intelligence agents have uncovered something which seems beyond belief, but the evidence is incontrovertible: the USA's greatest adversary on the world stage is sending its agents back through time! And someone or something unknown to our history is presenting them with technologies—and weapons—far beyond our most advanced science. We have only one option: create time-transfer technology ourselves, find the opposition's ancient source . . . and take it down.
Star Soldiers
Another vintage (1955) by same author as above. Also not free in Canada, probably only USA.
SIkander
Many high reviews. Winner of the Grand Prizes in each of the 2010 Los Angeles Book Festival and the 2011 Paris Book Festival. “SIKANDER takes us from the pricey suburbs of Peshawar to the primitive war-torn landscape of Soviet-occupied Afghanistan, to the placid serenity of Scotland, through the camps of Guantanamo, and finally, corporate America. It is a 21 year journey through freedom and captivity, love and loss, wealth and poverty, dignity and humiliation, and transgression and redemption. A rare glimpse of a non-radical mainstream Muslim's experience of the West, SIKANDER is a journey of growth, self-discovery, and hope.”
A Light in the Castle (Young Underground #6)
By well-respected traditionally-published author. Christian, youth. “News of Peter and Elise Andersen's latest adventure has traveled fast—all the way from Helsingør to Copenhagen and King Christian. The twins are thrilled when the well-loved Danish monarch invites them to visit him at his palace. But on the train to Copenhagen, Peter and Elise have a frightening run-in with a gruff German who is extremely protective of his travel bag—and its curious-looking contents. Soon, the mysterious man begins to show up everywhere the Andersens go. The German' s keen interest in an antique key Peter finds adds to his suspicions about the man's motives. What can he possibly be up to? Convinced the German is a threat, Peter turns spy and discovers that King Christian may be in danger! But will Peter and Elise be able to warn him in time?”
The Mission
Short Story. “ a tale in the tradition of Bernard Malamud, traces Heschie’s journey to Eden, South Dakota, where a humble Jew seemingly mismatched with a community of ranchers finds an unlikely way to make his way.”
