The Train Part 1: Escape From Hell's Kitchen
Keith Schafer - 2013
Over the years it was visited by a diverse hodge-podge of notables, including Davey Crockett and Charles Dickens, all who left aghast at the horrible living conditions, the poverty and the decadence of the people they found there. At their zenith, these vulgar, diseased and murderous streets housed 30,000 homeless children of all ages--the street urchins--who played, scavenged for food, fought the elements and each other, and tried to avoid the perpetual violence that routinely threatened their survival. Death was their constant competitor, and death often won. They were the discarded refuse of the great 19th century immigrant migrations to America, and they were an undesirable nuisance to the good citizens of New York. This is the story of two such children, Anna Murphy and Ben McDonald, abandoned to the streets and thrown together in a desperate attempt to achieve the impossible: to escape from Hell’s Kitchen in search of new beginnings in far and distant lands.

Allison Porter, the mysterious cousin from Kansas, at thirty-three decides to leave Wichita and come to Seattle to meet Miranda and start a new life.

The Reverend Annabelle Dixon Cozy Mysteries: Books 1-4
Alison Golden - 2018
Mayhem. A madcap lady vicar. Have you met The Reverend Annabelle Dixon? Annabelle is the charming, slightly gauche, very tall, thirty-something vicar of St. Mary’s Church located in the picturesque village of Upton St. Mary in Cornwall, England. She is beloved by her parishioners for dispensing good advice and godly wisdom with humor and charm while zipping her Mini Cooper around the country lanes and attempting to build a relationship with her church cat, Biscuit. As Annabelle faithfully ministers her quaint parish, trouble follows her. Instead of tea and cakes, she is regularly served a heaping plate of murder and a fine helping of handsome Inspector Mike Nicholls. This digital box set contains the first four mysteries in this bestselling series: Death at the Café: With a nun accused of murder, and armed only with a note, a disappearing dart, vague hints, and a love of cake, Annabelle must gather the clues, pacify a detective, and find the real perpetrator before both she and her friend wind up in jail. Murder at the Mansion: Recently appointed to her rural church position, trouble arises when she faithfully welcomes a new resident to her quaint parish and finds herself in the midst of a deadly murder case and a village full of gossip. Body in the Woods: When a young boy is running home through the woods, he finds a bone: a forearm to be precise; a human forearm. This discovery sets in motion the reopening of a cold case that Reverend Annabelle Dixon, it seems, simply can’t leave alone. Grave in the Garage: When her car breaks down, Annabelle stumbles upon a gruesome scene at the Mildred’s Garage. The tenacious vicar is soon embroiled in yet another mystery along with the stalward, logical Inspector Mike Nicholls. Thank goodness for the puppy!

Anthony James - 2018
Kill or be killed. The discovery of the Vraxar planetship – Aranol - has revealed to the Confederation how much they are outgunned by the invading aliens.

Where ingenuity fails, there are other, more direct options. His spaceship, the ES Cataclysm, is equipped with experimental and potentially devastating weaponry, as the Vraxar will soon discover. The Aranol has existed for millennia and overseen the fall of a thousand empires. It will not go down without a fight.

The Belt: Complete Trilogy
Gerald M. Kilby - 2018
The ship contains an experimental quantum device, lost while en route to a research colony on Europa. On Earth, powerful corporate forces are moving to resume unrestricted, inter-AI communications, their objective being to gain complete dominion over the colonized solar system. But the outer worlds are mobilizing to prevent them from achieving their objective, a fight back which is being led by Solomon, a sentient quantum intelligence (QI), also on Europa. However, once word of the crew’s discovery gets out, they soon realize that ownership of this technology could fundamentally change the balance of power within the solar system, and they now find themselves at the very nexus of a system-wide conflict. Their fight for survival plays out across the solar system, from the mining outposts of the asteroid belt to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and from the great Martian city of Jezero to the irradiated wastelands on Earth. This is an epic tale of humanity’s struggle for survival and meaning in a time when artificial intelligence has finally out-paced our own ability to control it. About The Belt: The story is set a century or so into the future where humanity has colonized most of the inner solar system. The asteroid belt (The Belt) is now a hive of mining activity and ships ply the trade routes to Earth and Mars. The technology depicted, for the most part, is what I consider to be technically plausible, although I do stretch it a little with quantum entanglement. That said, you won’t need a calculator or a slide-rule to enjoy the story.
