by Stephen Hunter ~
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR STEPHEN HUNTER RETURNS WITH HIS MOST RIVETING BOB LEE SWAGGER VOLUME TO DATE. Talk about a ride! Woe unto he who crosses Bob Lee Swagger, especially when his daughter's life is at stake. Forced off the road and into a crash that leaves her in a coma, clinging to life, reporter Nikki Swagger had begun to peel back the onion of a Southernfried conspiracy bubbling with all the angst, resentment, and dysfunction that Dixie gangsters can muster. An ancient, violent crime clan, a possibly corrupt law enforcement structure, gunmen of all stripes and shapes, and deranged evangelicals rear their ugly heads and will live to rue the day they targeted the wrong man's daughter. It's what you call your big-time bad career move. All of it is set against the backdrop of excitement and insanity that only a weeklong NASCAR event can bring to the backwoods of a town as seemingly sleepy as Bristol, Tennessee. A master at the top of his game, Hunter provides a host of thrilling new reasons to read as fast as we can. When Swagger picks up peeling where his daughter left off, and his swift sword of justice is let loose, we find a true American hero in his most stunning action to date. And -- in the form of Brother Richard, a self-decreed ""Sinnerman"" out of the old fire-and-brimstone tradition -- Hunter offers up his most diabolical, engaging villain yet. A triumph of story, character, and style, Night of Thunder is Stephen Hunter at his very best.]]> 16.1910 <![CDATA[Redemption Lost]]> Publisher: Aphotic Thought Press
by Zoe E. Whitten ~
Sometimes the only difference between good and evil is the side you’re standing on when the battle starts... The masterminds behind the viral experiments have put together a team of elite soldiers led jointly by Eric Richter and Stephen Collins, a powerful telepath who can control people to do his bidding. Their first mission is to complete a series of ritual sacrifices in Tucson that will lure Wendy, Jamie, and Jobe into a trap. With the bait taken, Stephen manipulates the trio into a meeting with Jobe’s sister, Amber McKenzie, using her to drive a wedge between Wendy and Jobe. Stephen works to keep the vigilantes at odds with each other, while the elites attempt to frame FBI agents Gavin Lebowitz and Stephanie Callaghan for murder. Just when things can’t seem worse, Jobe is taken. Then despite the efforts of Amber and her friends, Wendy is captured as well. Both will be forced to confront the evils they’ve committed in pursuit of revenge, and both will be made an offer they can’t refuse. Only one will agree to work for the elites, a decision that could cost them their life. But the elites have powerful enemies who have also taken an interest in Jobe and Wendy, and while they prepare for an attack on the Tucson base of operations, Amber and her friends are planning a rescue attempt of their own. Even with the help of these unexpected allies, will it be possible to shut down the elites and stop the rituals for good?]]> 6.2550 <![CDATA[The Key to Midnight]]> Publisher: Berkley

Fact: The police have investigated.

Trigger City

Still suffering the physical and emotional consequences of going up against the Chicago Outfit, PI Ray Dudgeon needs an easy gig. A routine investigation of an open-and-shut case sounds perfect. The job is a loser, but the pay is good, and maybe Ray will bring some peace to a grieving father who yearns to learn the truth about the daughter he never really knew.

But what begins as routine soon spirals out of control. The victim was not simply a quiet, shy, unassuming single woman whose luck ran out. She lived a double life, working in the shadowy realm of covert intelligence. In a world built on secrets and lies, she fought bravely for truth—and gave her life in the fight.

Suddenly, Ray finds himself caught in a war between private contractors and the darkest sectors of our own government—a war that stretches from the closed-door hearings of Congress to the frontlines of Iraq.

Ensnared in a conspiracy of darkness that weaves its way through the very fabric of the nation, Ray must discover who's really pulling the strings before he becomes collateral damage in America's war on terror.No peril Ray Dudgeon has faced in the past could've prepared him for this. The stakes couldn't be any higher, and no enemy could be more powerful. Ray is in way over his head.

And his greatest enemy may be himself.

by Christopher Krovatin ~
Locke Vinetti is a high school junior, disenchanted and more than a little hostile. In fact, for years he's had a lousy social life because of a problem he has with his anger--a force he calls "the venom." Ever since he was eight years old and bit off a piece of a classmate's nose, he's been something of a loner. But all that is about to change when he goes out with his one friend, Randall, to meet some of Randall's crew hanging out at Riverside Park. Because in addition to meeting his kindred spirit, Casey--who has his own problems with his own kind of venom--Locke meets the spikey blue fairy-haircut Goth girl of his dreams. And if their relationship is going to work, he knows he has to rid himself of the venom once and for all. Interspersed with comic book adventures of the fantasy anti-hero alter-ego Locke has invented for himself, Venomous is a fast-paced, funny, and ferocious read about one teenage boy's struggle with his inner demons.]]> 10.7910 <![CDATA[Defenseless]]> Publisher: Dell Publishing
