Sarah Stone Trilogy, #1-3


Iain Rob Wright - 2018
    Includes full versions of SOFT TARGET, HOT ZONE, & END PLAY. SOFT TARGET NOWHERE IS SAFE FROM EVIL... FROM THE BIGGEST CITIES...TO THE SMALLEST VILLAGEWhen an elderly suicide bomber strikes a quiet English village, a once proud nation is brought to its knees. Yet this first attack is just the start of something far greater and much much worse. An attack is coming that no one could have predicted. The days to follow will determine if the United Kingdom has a future, or if it will be reduced to anarchy and ashes. Only one person has a chance to halt the impending terror attacks--damaged ex-solider Captain Sarah Stone. Sarah despises her own country for what it did to her, and that’s what makes it so hard when she is forced to save it, but when an old enemy takes credit for the attacks, her thirst for vengeance forces her to take action. SOFT TARGET is the first in a series of books featuring acerbic heroine Captain Sarah Stone and the Major Crimes Unit. It is a non-stop action thriller in the same style of Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy, and 24. HOT ZONE Sarah Stone is missing.The terrorism threat in the UK is growing day by day. MCU agent Howard Hopkins is heading to White Knight Hospital. Not because he's sick, but because there's been an outbreak of an infectious disease. Somebody has intentionally released Ebola Virus and it's time for the Major Crimes Unit to act. If they fail, thousands will die painful, bloody deaths. This time, he'll have to save the day without his partner, Sarah, who has been missing for months. Eventually Sarah and Howard's paths will cross again, but they might not be on the same side. Both are looking for the same man-a psychotic doctor with a grudge against Western civilisation, who won't stop until Ebola, HIV, and Malaria are as much a threat in the United Kingdom and Europe as they are in the 3rd World. Iain Rob Wright breaks new ground in the non-stop action-thriller genre as he tops his previous book, Soft Target, with an even greater threat. A threat lodged in the current psyche of today's society. A book sure to thrill and frighten. END PLAY Old Nightmares and New Threats…Sarah Stone is finished. The last year of her life has seen her face madmen and terrorists that will haunt her forever. This case will be her last.The Flower Man is London’s worst ever serial killer, putting even Jack the Ripper to shame. Sarah can’t quit until she catches the monster and ensures no more innocent people are killed. A local tip off might just be the break she needs to find her man and get the job done for good.But Sarah doesn’t know that an even bigger monster from her past has just awoken, and that the City of London is about to be devastated by the worst attack in it's long and prestigious history. It’s already too late. If Sarah doesn’t end the killing now, it will end her. She has one chance to get her life back, but time is running out. This is her end play.

The Texicans


Jinx Schwartz - 2005
    Decades before Crockett, Bowie or Houston even set foot in Texas, Frederick Stockman was already there. Author Elizabeth Schwartz, a ninth-generation Texan, has delved deep into her ancestral roots to create this moving story of the Frederick Stockman familys' courageous determination to make Texas their home during the turbulent period between 1806 and 1836. The Texicans was inspired by a Texas history book calling her ancestral clan a "congenial society for evil"--rogues "skilled in many forms of villainy" for their role in the tumultuous years of first Spanish, the Mexican rule. Frederick Stockman and his family immigrate to Spanish Texas in 1806 to ranch, but soon find themselves inexorably drawn into the bitter conflict between Mexico and Spain. They join forces with a dashing young Spanish deserter, Miguel Gonzales, in his successful campaign to liberate Mexico and Texas from Spanish rule. Their ties are further cemented when Gonzales marries into the family. As Heroes of Mexico, the Texicans--staunch supporters of Mexican rule for Texas--find themselves vilified by North American settlers illegally flocking across the unprotected border. These newcomers, calling themselves Texians, view Mexico, Mexicans and Texicans as the enemy.
