James Daly thought he was safe at college after defeating small-town cultists and their otherworldly master. He was wrong. Although the Thing in the Woods is dead, there's more to this world than just one monster. In May of his senior year of high school, he'd faced a murderous coven and the otherworldly horror they worshiped in the woods outside small-town Edington, Georgia. And though there was a price to be paid, he came away triumphant. Now dating fellow survivor Amber Webb, he's attending Georgia State University with his best friend Eli Schwartz and doing his best to forget the bloody events of the previous summer. But just in time for Amber to visit one October weekend, the nightmares plaguing him begin invading his waking hours. Something far more sinister than post-traumatic stress may be afoot, especially when the mysterious man in black who’d made James an offer he couldn't refuse returns. Meanwhile, reluctant Edgewood Jack Boy Javion Jackson joins more hardened gang members in an ambush of the Boulevard Crips, only to find his companions dead and himself a prisoner of sadistic extraterrestrials. The four are about to be dragged into an interstellar conflagration deep in the heart of downtown Atlanta. And not all will come home alive... This is the second book in The Long War series. Fans of the Men in Black, Charles Stross's Laundry Files, and Delta Green will enjoy this tale of a secret war against otherworldly forces.

A captivating World War II narrative of an untold story in the Pacific theater In the heart of the Pacific, where the tides of World War II surged, lies a tale of heroism on the high seas—a tale brought to life in Midnight in Ironbottom Sound. This is the untold story of the USS Gregory (APD-3), a ship manned by unknown sailors whose bravery echoes through the annals of history. Upon the decks of this vessel, Lieutenant Commander Harry F. Bauer and Mess Attendant Charles J. French, representing the highest and lowest ranks on the USS Gregory, become the focal points of this gripping narrative. In the turbulent waters of the Pacific, their stories, interwoven with the ship's saga—whose vital mission was to transport Marine Raiders to bloody beaches— emerge as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the unwavering commitment to duty. Avriett unfolds a a brief but catastrophic chapter of naval history that is often overlooked--that of unremitting warfare during the first few weeks following the initial invasion of the Solomon Islands to the demise of the USS Gregory four weeks later. Within this crucible, the USS Gregory, marked as a "minor" player, takes center stage. The ship's designation as an APD, its brave crew, and the harrowing night of terror they faced, set the stage for an unforgettable story. Avriett meticulously reveals their heroism and pays homage to the eternal truth that courage has neither color nor prerequisites, and that valor hails from within.

In ""Alpacalypse Now,"" Tina Shears, a former Wall Street hotshot, finds herself thrust into the world of alpaca farming in the quaint town of Woolville. This fish-out-of-water tale blends sharp wit with absurdist humor as Tina fumbles through her new rural responsibilities, armed with nothing but her city smarts and a herd of surprisingly clever alpacas. The stakes rise when she uncovers a nefarious plot by a big agriculture corporation to transform Woolville into an industrial complex, forcing her to rally a ragtag group of quirky townsfolk to save their community. As Tina hilariously attempts to apply her corporate strategies to farm life, readers are treated to a delightful array of alpaca-themed puns and running gags. The novel cleverly satirizes both corporate culture and small-town dynamics, while weaving in themes of community, personal growth, and the unexpected wisdom found in the simplest of places. Through Tina's journey of learning to slow down and appreciate rural life, ""Alpacalypse Now"" offers a heartwarming and hilarious exploration of the paths life can take when we least expect it.
