Five Thrilling Reads Coming From Forge This Year

Five Thrilling Reads Coming From Forge This Year

By Alison Bunis

You know that feeling when the world is about to implode, you’re the only person who knows how to stop it, and you have to drop everything to go on a dangerous mission to save everyone you care about? Where you’re expecting unexpected betrayals, explosions, secret bunkers, dangerous infiltrations, and laboratory samples capable of destroying humanity as we know it? That feeling?

Yeah, me neither. But sometimes I’d like to―without actually experiencing dangers like being chased by assassins or half blown up. Want to join me in some low-risk adventure (no guarantee you’ll be paper-cut free) this year? Check out some of these great thrillers coming soon from Forge.

Fresh out of Air Force OSI, young CIA black ops officer Kirk McGarvey gets his first assignment: assassinate a Chilean general who’s tortured and killed more than one thousand dissidents. But Chile’s National Intelligence Agency has been warned that McGarvey’s coming, and someone back home in Washington is helping them make sure he fails…

Exile by James Swallow

Poster Placeholder of - 39What do you get when you cross a vicious Serbian gang whose profits come from fake nuclear weapons, a disgraced Russian general with access to the real thing, a vengeful Somali warlord with a cause for which he’d let the world burn, and a jaded government agency? Only Marc Dane sees the catastrophic answer, and in this breathless race from the skyscrapers of Dubai to the ancient caverns beneath Naples, he might not be able to stop it.

The Sum of All Shadows by Eric Van Lustbader

Image Place holder  of - 34The Testament series concludes with The Sum of All Shadows.

Assassin’s Revenge by Ward Larsen

Place holder  of - 52It’s every parent and spouse’s worst nightmare. One sunny day in Gibraltar, David Slaton returns to the sailboat he shares with his wife and young son only to find them missing. In their place is a cryptic message: If he wants to see them again, he must eliminate an obscure scientist working for the International Atomic Energy Agency. As he races to unravel the scheme, Slaton finds himself entangled in a deadly nuclear game. Working against him is a band of suicidal terrorists, supported by a North Korean government about to implode. And that small slate of actors face something even more lethal.

Kill Zone by Kevin J. Anderson and Doug Beason

Image Placeholder of - 42In Kill Zone, a Cold War-era nuclear weapons storage facility is being used to covertly receive more than 100,000 tons of nuclear waste. Only Department of Energy employee Adonia and her team, including a war hero, a senator, and an environmental activist, are allowed access to the facility. But the base was never meant to hold this much waste, and it could easily explode, taking all of Albuquerque with it and spreading radioactivity across the nation. The disaster scenario seems far away―until a small plane crashes at a nearby military base, setting off the facility’s lockdown and trapping Adonia and her team inside…

SHOCK WAVE
9 March 2017
1100 EST
CNN

They’d changed the studio’s backdrop to a map of the Kashmir region that slowly morphed into a Google Earth landscape that then zoomed in on the specific area where the detonation had been reported. The network was still waiting for satellite images of the actual explosion site, so the graphics team had marked the spot with a small animated mushroom cloud. Occasionally the background would go to split screen, with one half devoted to the map, and the other showing photos of the Kashmiri countryside, some taken prewar, others since India’s invasion of Pakistan six months ago.

Twenty months later

Centered on the sun-soaked island of Malta, the ancient city of Mdina stands tall and brusque, a defiant island of brown whose vaulted bastions amplify the country’s most prominent hill. Though incorporating no more than one square kilometer, the palaces and narrow streets of the medieval city have stood the tests of a thousand harsh summers, dozens of military campaigns, and in a more contemporary test of endurance, the annual invasion of a million tourists each year. For all these reasons, Mdina is a place in constant need of repair.

Most in demand are good stonemasons.

Book Trailer: Phobos by Steve Alten

Phobos – A dazzling look at Mayan mythology incarnate fromNew York Times bestselling author Steve Alten

object

For two thousand years, the Mayan Calendar has prophesied the end of mankind on a date equating to December 21st, 2012. As that day approaches, greed, corruption, economic collapse, and violence seem to be pushing our species to the predicted brink of disaster. But there is another Doomsday threat looming in our near future, a very real threat that can wipe-out not only humanity but our entire planet.

Phobos: Mayan Fear, Steve Alten’s third book in the Mayan Prophecy series, is a doomsday rollercoaster ride of adventure that follows Immanuel Gabriel to the end of the world and back again for one last shot at salvation.   During Immanuel’s journey with his deceased grandfather, archaeologist Julius Gabriel, Julius reveals everything the Mayans knew and feared—from the secrets of creation that predate the Big Bang to the existence of extraterrestrials that have come to Earth to save our species.

The universe is not what it seems, nor is human existence.  The ticking clock of physicality that begins at conception and terminates with our final breath is neither the end nor the beginning, but an elaborate ruse constructed as a test.

We are failing miserably.

And check out the book trailer for The Grim Reaper by Steve Alten, new in mass-market paperback from Forge Books.
