79 Park Avenue
Harold Robbins
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
From the author of The New York Times #1 best-selling novel The Carpetbaggers comes a story of a tragic love triangle between Marja Fluudjincki (aka Maryann Flood), an ambitious and sensual young woman from the slums who is forced into prostitution, but reinvents herself as an elegant Park Avenue madam; Mike Keyes, a hardworking, honest man who works his way up to Assistant District Attorney and is the only man Marja ever loved; and Ross Drego, who introduces her to money and the gambler’s world of Joker Martin, and is willing to pay any price for her. And does.
79 Park Avenue starts on the seedy streets of inner NYC and ends on luxurious Park Avenue. Over time, Marja claws her way from street urchin to stripper—ultimately becoming the madam of a Mob-owned pleasure empire. Marja—now known as Maryann—provides access to thecity’s most exciting and sensual “escorts.” But when Maryann runs afoul of the law, endangering her empire and angering the Mob, she must face an ambitious prosecutor who stands to benefit by bringing down the call girl ring. However, unbeknownst to the indefatigable ADA Mike Keyes, fate has dealt him a devastating blow. The madam he’s been chasing, Maryann Flood, is none other than the love of his life who has repeatedly broken his heart, Marja Fluudjincki.
Does he set aside his personal feelings for the sake of justice, or fall under Maryann’s seductive spell, betraying his life’s work? Knowing that Maryann is unafraid to use seduction to get what she wants, will Mike fall prey to her charm and violate his solid sense of justice?
Harold Robbins presents a vision of post-WWII New York that is as common now in shows like Revenge as it was then—a stark reminder that corruption, greed, and vengeance are timeless. Spending 12 weeks on The New York Times best sellers list, this novel tells a sizzling story of sexuality, power, and lust that inspired the 1977 Golden Globe®-winning miniseries of the same name.

The Last Revolution
R.T. Carpenter
Genre: Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Nations Are Not Born. They’re Earned.
In 2125 every country on Earth has merged into one of three super nations. They are locked in a bitter cold war dispute over energy rationing. On the verge of another world war, every major religion rose up in defense of peace. They formed an organization known as the Council, and brokered a shaky treaty that stands to this day. To ease the resource drain, they brought all three nations together in an unprecedented form to collectively share in the costs of mining helium-3 on the lunar surface.
Also known as H-3, the resource is a clean burning, non-radioactive helium isotope. It is now the only viable form of energy left on Earth and in space. To support the mining effort, five cities developed on the lunar surface and their combined population is now well over three million.
The original colonists were volunteers, adventurers, scientists, and philosophers. Individuals that sought out a new world filled with opportunities and hope. Unfortunately, the peace between the Three Nations did not last. Fear, distrust and malcontent around the H-3 distributions spread. Freedom of speech, religion, immigration and scientific liberties were quietly reduced and then taken away altogether, under the guise of increased security and isolationism.
Free of the need to compete for limited resources and coupled with the tightening restrictions, the colonists slowly separated themselves from the nations of Earth. This began a downward spiral between the colonists who risked violence and retribution to push for eroding freedoms and the Council that was forced to maintain the peace and the precious supply of helium-3.
Facing increased pressure on all sides, the Council created a military school referred to only as the Island. The purpose was to train soldiers from childhood in order to build the most elite fighting force on Earth. Their goals were to conduct impossible missions, lead the Council’s military, defend the Three Nations’ peace treaty and maintain order among the lunar colonies. The most advanced students were drafted into an elite program. The precious few in the outside world who know of their existence refer to them with trepidation as the Angele Dei.
Alden Connor is the most gifted soldier in the program. Events that were planned out decades before he was born have begun to fall into place. The Council, the Angele Dei, the lunar colonists and the Three Nations of Earth will all play their parts, but the outcome will rest solely on Alden’s shoulders and the decisions he will be forced to make. Humanity is slowly marching towards its Last Revolution, from which none will escape.

When the Pakistan Tehrik-e-taliban hijack two nuclear warheads from the Pakistan Air Force—warheads they intend to smuggle and detonate inside the United States—and then attack and occupy an American chartered school in Islamabad with over three hundred children held hostage, the president of the United States turns to the only team that can resolve the situation.

But Hearthstone was about to learn the true nature of pucker-factor given the only means available to accomplish their mission: to utilize the newly discovered capabilities of a top-secret, deep-black, scientific project funded by the United States. An endeavor that had taken over twenty-five years to come to fruition: Project Gabriel—The Fifth Option.
