Featured Book: The Hunt for the Peggy C by John Winn Miller

About Featured Book: The Hunt for the Peggy C by John Winn Miller

This gripping novel full of action and suspense, a semifinalist in the Clive Cussler Adventure Writers Competition, introduces Captain Jake Rogers, a hardened smuggler transporting contraband through the U-boat-infested waters of the North Atlantic in the beginning phases of World War II. Rumored to have fled America because of a murder before beginning his career at sea, Rogers takes on cargo few other captains would be willing to carry—if the price is right.

But after witnessing the oppression of Jews in Amsterdam, Rogers agrees to take on the most dangerous cargo he has ever transported: a Jewish family fleeing Nazi persecution. Pursued by Oberleutnant Viktor Brauer, a brutal U-boat captain who will stop at nothing to send Rogers and his crew to the bottom of the ocean, the normally aloof Rogers finds himself drawn in by the family’s warmth and faith, and increasingly willing to do whatever it takes to get them to safety.

A thrilling, beautifully written story of adventure and compassion in the time of an unforgiving European world war, “The Hunt for The Peggy C” not only creates a fascinating, believable, and visual world of its own but keeps readers on the edge of their seats from page one through the shocking, unpredictable end.

About Featured Book: Leave the Bottom-Cook Islands by Randy Slapnicka

…You know I’ve seen everything, everything but the bottom of the sea.

Dr. Melody Foster holds a Ph.D. in Marine Biology, a Master’s in Genetics, and is the real Octomom.

She was professor of the Octolab, and while she wasn’t fond of the first day of classes, she was a professor. A damn good one who knew how to leave a lasting impression on her students and keep their attention.

After receiving an email that stated all funding for her Octolob would be halted, Melody needed to think fast. She couldn’t afford to keep the whole thing running on her own, and she definitely wouldn’t allow her beloved octopuses to be taken away from her.

Dr. Foster takes a consulting job in the Cook Islands for a deep sea mining operation for the Poly-metallic nodules littered on the ocean floor. When she is suddenly faced with highly intelligent Mimic octopuses that are trying to shut their whole operation down.

As the higher-ups come to a decision to kill the octopuses getting in their way, Dr. Foster interjects as she would never stand by the deliberate killing of her babies.

Jack Pa, multi-billionaire Chinese mogul and Dr. Foster’s boss, instructs her to fix the problem… or else.

With her life on the line, Melody must descend into the depths of the ocean and put a stop to the killing of the octopuses. The only problem was, Chino’s expendable prison graduates were a part of the diving program that was beta testing the extractor harvesting the nodules for the electric vehicle batteries.

Surrounded by inky black water, convicted rapists, murderers and a convicted child molester, Dr. Mel’s battle was only beginning.

Will she be able to survive in the depths of the ocean? Will she secure funding for her prized Octolab? And will she come face-to-face with remnants of her past?

Deep Sea mining is one of the most debated global topics in the world today. Giving you, the reader, insight into some of the most highly controversial ocean questions for the next 100 years.

Leave the Bottom is a high-action, fast-paced, and intensely funny work of fiction that will suck you in. Deep Sea mining is one of the most debated global topics in the world today. Travel 500 feet below the surface and explore the amazing world of octopuses, future battery harvesting, that is currently being done as you read this book. Read in bated breath whether or not Dr. Foster will be able to make it out alive.

Limited time price.

About Featured Book: The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh by Carolyn Arnold

In Egypt’s Western Desert lies the tomb of an unnamed pharaoh that hides a secret so powerful, it could destroy the world as we know it.

Archaeologist and adventurer Matthew Connor has made a career of finding legends the world has all but forgotten. Though there’s one in particular that has fascinated him for years—the Emerald Tablets. Myth says that they possess the knowledge of the universe, allowing humankind to traverse Heaven and Earth, and have the power to bestow wealth and wisdom upon whoever possesses them. But if they fall into evil hands, it could cause a global disaster.

So when a former colleague stumbles across an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic map that promises to lead to a pharaoh’s tomb and the Emerald Tablets, there’s no way he’s turning down her invitation to join the dig. He only has one stipulation: his best friends Robyn Garcia and Cal Myers come with him.

The road ahead isn’t going to be an easy one, and their shared dream of recovering the Emerald Tablets is being crushed at every turn. And just when they think it’s all over, they learn there are a few clues they have overlooked. But they’re no longer the only ones searching for the Tablets. Now, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and soon they’ll find out that when it comes to hunting legends, they can’t trust anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The beach read of the summer!

When 19-year-old Meg Briggs wakes up after having a crazy party with her friends, she finds a girl in the pool.
Dead.

Who is this girl?
How did she end up in the pool?
Was she even at the party?

Even more strange is when they pull her out of the water, Meg realizes the girl looks very familiar. As a matter of fact, she looks just like her.
Like an identical twin.

But Meg has no twin, at least none that she knows of, and no one at the party knows this girl or can say where she is from.

What is Meg’s mom hiding from her?

FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas is caught in distress at home with her children and between the two men in her life when she is asked to help out on the case.

Who killed Meg’s identical twin and why? And where did she come from?

As Eva Rae Thomas digs deeper into the story, she can barely believe the revealed secrets, secrets so cruel that someone is ready to go to great lengths to keep them hidden.

About Featured Book: Silent Child by Sarah A. Denzil

In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son’s red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year – a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned.

His body was never recovered.

Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She’s married, pregnant, and in control again…

… until Aiden returns.

Too traumatized to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. Aiden never drowned. Aiden was taken.

As Emma attempts to reconnect with her now teenage son, she must unmask the monster who took him away from her. But who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime?

It’s Aiden who has the answers, but he cannot tell her the unspeakable.

This dark and disturbing psychological novel is a page-turner you will not be able to put down.

He devises a plan to become a prison doctor to gain access to Nash.

While in medical school, Matthew falls for brilliant classmate Torrey Jamison from poverty-stricken East Palo Alto.
