Red Deception by Gary Grossman
What would happen if all the major bridges in the U.S. were bombed, all commerce came to a dead stop, and the nation’s natural resources, like our water supply, were cut off? The importance of protecting America’s critical infrastructure has rarely been depicted so powerfully as in the fast-paced thriller, Red Deception, the follow-up to 2019’s Red Hotel.
Blending career insight with first-hand knowledge of global politics, the authors have drawn a chilling portrait of the fragile fault lines in Europe and the players poised to seize power.
Packed with action scenes and brimming with spies, sexpionage, counter-spies and unlikely heroes, this riveting geopolitical thriller will have you guessing until the very last page.
Gingerbread Falls by Katie Mettner
Actress Carrie Murray’s films are a Christmas-lover’s delight. Filled with twinkling lights, festive carols and happy endings, they’re the perfect escape from reality for both her and the audience. Then Tinseltown calls. Braxton Timothy is Hollywood’s biggest action star. Handsome and talented but decidedly on the naughty list, no one can fathom his sudden desire to produce a feel-good Christmas movie, least of all his nameless co-star.
Alternating between scenes reminiscent of everyone’s favorite made-for-TV movies and unexpected, off-screen chemistry, the town of Gingerbread Falls has surprises in store this holiday season. The question is, will there be enough Christmas magic to convince two imperfect people that they’re perfect for each other?
Revolution by James Fox
War is good for business … and business is about to boom. When the President of the solar system is assassinated on Mars, General Keith Brennan is the obvious choice to investigate.

However, when the investigation uncovers a trail of corruption and a conspiracy on a systemwide scale, Brennan’s career is the least of his worries.
With Earth and Mars on the brink of a shooting war and forces behind the scenes determined to push them over the edge, only Brennan can stop the slaughter before it’s too late. Unless, of course, it already is.
