D-Day

Thrillers / Science Fiction / Historical Fiction

The 6th of June is the Day of Days Same date; six different years, the Time Patrol must save our timeline from the SHADOW by preserving our past to protect our timeline from annihilation. History is made by ordinary people doing extraordinary things. The fact that often time’s history doesn’t record the heroics of these people doesn’t alter that. The missions on 6 June range from: 1944 A.D.: Parachuting in behind the beaches of Normandy and linking up with the Resistance to insure the last ‘good war’ ends the way history records. 478 B.C.: At the Pythian Games in Greece in 478A.D., where art and war merge. 452 A.D.: A monster’s lair in 452 A.D. where a man becomes the legend of Beowulf. 1843 A.D: At West Point, where a middling cadet, small in stature, named Ulysses S. Grant is trying to survive and graduate, with his curious brain that mixes war and art. 1998 A.D.: In a secret nuclear weapons depot in Pakistan, where the saber-rattling of nuclear tests is getting ready to escalate into Armageddon; a war to end all wars. And, strangest of all, a mission thousands of years into pre-history, to the day Art is born. While history doesn’t record the heroics by the ordinary, there are those who do notice. And there are those who want to stop those ordinary people and change our history in order to create a time tsunami and wipe our present out of existence. It is up to the Time Patrol to send an agent back to six different years on the 6th of June and make sure that doesn’t happen!

Z: The Final Countdown

Z: The Final Countdown

Bob Mayer

Thrillers / Science Fiction / Historical Fiction

Another great military thriller from NY Times Bestselling Author, former Green Beret and West Point Graduate Bob Mayer.Reference Mayer’s Thrillers“Mayer had me hooked from the very first page.” Stephen Coonts “Exciting and authentic. Don’t miss this one!” W.E.B. Griffen “Fascinating, imaginative and nerve-wracking.” Kirkus Reviews “A pulsing technothriller. A nailbiter in the best tradition of adventure fiction.” Publishers Weekly.From Kirkus ReviewsAlthough retired from the US Army, Dave Riley is not out of the action as he battles crafty villains and a deadly pestilence in southwestern Africa in this sixth installment of Mayer's absorbing and well-written series (Cut-Out, 1995, etc.). Now a civilian security specialist hired to protect Satellite News Network correspondent Conner Young, the ex-Special Forces warrant officer accompanies his comely charge to Angola, where she's covering a multinational mission to end the civil strife that's racked the onetime Portuguese colony since it gained independence in 1975. After overrunning rebel strongholds and establishing a base camp along the Zairean border, the Green Berets in the UN's vanguard are stopped cold by the outbreak of a virulent plague. Quarantined with Conner and a handful of soldiers who have also been exposed to whatever's in the air, Dave apprehensively follows the unavailing attempts of epidemiologists who have been flown in from the States to deal with the highly contagious disease they refer to as ``Z.'' Released from hot-zone confinement to escort the medical team on a fact-finding mission, he helps determine that man, not nature, has unleashed the lethal virus. With an assist from the National Security Agency, American commanders soon identify the likely culprit as Pieter Van Wyks, head of the syndicate that effectively controls the world's diamond trade. Aware that the avaricious mining magnate has stockpiled vaccine that can reverse the invariably fatal course of Z, the Pentagon details Dave to lead a small band of nothing-left-to-lose troopers in an airborne assault on the cartel's strongly defended headquarters on the Namibian coast. Though on his last legs and facing die-hard adversaries, the old soldier will manage to beat the odds. A ripping good biotech/military thriller that plausibly depicts the high costs (psychological and otherwise) of combating unseen enemies. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP.
