The Lucifer Crusade

Mack Maloney

Sinossi

After a devastating Russian attack on the United States, a lone American fighter pilot is out for revenge—even as he evades every air force on earth.   When Soviet nukes destroyed the United States, Hawk Hunter took refuge in the only place he has ever felt safe: the sky. One of the finest fighter pilots of all time, he used his talents to found the Pacific American Air Corps (PAAC), a democratic counterweight to the corruption that dominates the rest of the country. Their first action was the Circle War: a Russian invasion led by the sinister terrorist Viktor Robotov. The PAAC expelled the Russians, but Robotov managed to escape. And the Wingman has taken up the pursuit. In a world where it’s a crime to wave stars and stripes, Hunter paints his F-16 red, white, and blue. Pursued by every air force on Earth, he tears up the sky in search of revenge. There are hundreds of killers on his tail, but he has only one target—and Hunter never misses. The Lucifer Crusade is the third book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.

The Gilgamesh Project

John Francis Kinsella

Arkady Demitriev decided he needed to join the dots. There was something he was missing. Simmonds’ presence in San Sebastian was totally out of character with the mundane life he had led up to that point in time, that is apart from his adventure into local real estate, when he had gambled all on the throw of a dice.His men quickly located the vehicle, it lay in the dense tropical vegetation that lined the road, its roof submerged beneath about half a metre of stagnant water. Not without difficulty they broke the back windows and threaded a steel cable through the Land Cruiser’s compartment, which they hooked onto the crane, then slowly winched the vehicle out of the swamp onto the flatbed of the recovery truck.As they pull the driver’s door open, a wave of fetid black water rushed out. Behind the wheel was what remained of Simmo, a black slime covered skeleton in shirt sleeves and pants, rotten and slumped over the wheel. He’d probably been knocked unconscious by the impact when his Land Cruiser was forced off the narrow road at about 100 km/h, drowning immediately.

She arrives at chaotic Pulkova Airport and is immediately whisked off to the baby home to meet her new daughter. Their wonderful, sometimes crazy, sometimes harrowing adoption journey takes off from there. One major and unexpected complication: Molly discovers that Lady Law, the TV show she starred in back in the '80s in the U.S., is now a big hit in Russia. Then there are the two handsome princes, one Russian, one American, and all the other fairytale characters who help or hinder Molly and her Clementine.

Spaceman Spiritus

Mark Warford

Haunting and sly and revealing and moving into the realm of myth, Spaceman Spiritus is an unflinching expression of the vulnerabilities that make us human. 
Spaceman Spiritus is a prisoner, found guilty of the enduring crime of solitude, sentenced to labor far underground somewhere in a distant galaxy. Peel is a rancher, a man tracing a lifetime of memories for those he loved and for the natural world around him. He’s about to plummet back to Earth with an angel by his side. And as for Martha and Pup, well...they’re the dogs charged with saving us all. 
Told in a braid of voices, Spaceman Spiritus weaves the trajectory of these characters into a thrilling, provocative, and ultimately, heart-wrenching allegory wrestling with the bonds of love and loss and what should be, in fact, the simplest of acts—going home.
