Project Pandora


Book Description

Tyler Bennett trusts no one. Just another foster kid bounced from home to home, he’s learned that lesson the hard way. Cue world’s tiniest violin. But when strange things start happening—waking up with bloody knuckles and no memory of the night before or the burner phone he can’t let out of his sight—Tyler starts to wonder if he can even trust himself. Even stranger, the girl he’s falling for has a burner phone just like his. Finding out what’s really happening only leads to more questions...questions that could get them both killed. It’s not like someone’s kidnapping teens lost in the system and brainwashing them to be assassins or anything, right? And what happens to rogue assets who defy control? In a race against the clock, they’ll have to uncover the truth behind Project Pandora and take it down—before they’re reactivated. Good thing the program spent millions training them to kick ass... The Assassin Fall series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Hades Rising (prequel novella) Book #1 Project Pandora Book #2 Project Prometheus

Pandora's Locks


Book Description

The St. Lawrence Seaway was considered one of the world's greatest engineering achievements when it opened in 1959. The $1 billion project-a series of locks, canals, and dams that tamed the ferocious St. Lawrence River-opened the Great Lakes to the global shipping industry. Linking ports on lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario to shipping hubs on the world's seven seas increased global trade in the Great Lakes region. But it came at an extraordinarily high price. Foreign species that immigrated into the lakes in ocean freighters' ballast water tanks unleashed a biological shift that reconfigured the world's largest freshwater ecosystems. Pandora's Locks is the story of politicians and engineers who, driven by hubris and handicapped by ignorance, demanded that the Seaway be built at any cost. It is the tragic tale of government agencies that could have prevented ocean freighters from laying waste to the Great Lakes ecosystems, but failed to act until it was too late. Blending science with compelling personal accounts, this book is the first comprehensive account of how inviting transoceanic freighters into North America's freshwater seas transformed these wondrous lakes.

Pandora


Book Description

Curiosity changed the course of mankind. Pandora was the first mortal woman and the first bride. Zeus gave Pandora a storage jar for a wedding gift which she of course opened. Who wouldn’t? It was a wedding gift, for crying out loud. The evil spirits trapped inside the jar were freed and have wreaked havoc on mankind ever since. Fast forward to today . . . Pandora Jones lives in a modern stone castle stuffed to the roofline with handmade boxes filled with the worries and troubles she collects each night. Trying to atone for her ancestress’ costly mistake leaves no room for friendship, let alone romance. Head God Zeus sends his handsome eldest son to set things right with Pandora, but neglects to tell him who, what, or why. That would take all the fun out of the game–and everyone knows the Olympic gods love their games. Urban fantasy romance.

Quest Pandora


Book Description

"Has such a range of genres that you can't pigeon hole it into one, therefore it held my attention. The shadowy love story between the main characters', it spoke about technology from a whole new perspective. The description alone in the book allowed you to image the scenes as if you were walking through the novel with the characters." -LaShawn CIA field operative Matthew Roger Harris, called out of his two year retirement on request of his dying stepfather's final aspiration. His stepfather, curious to find out once and for all; can scientists generate a new self-sustaining sun. Harris, following the lead of a murdered scientist, directs him to the project, Pandora, a device that could harness the power of a star stronger than our sun. Who else could fashion such a thing but the Chelsea Company. Who else could help Harris find Pandora other than this Company who heads the world in technology. Harris has to make peace with Nzingha Chelsea, CEO of the Chelsea Company who he betrayed on his last mission two years earlier, and fight secret assassins, all in search of Pandora in order to complete his father's dying wish. His father is slipping away fast and Harris's time is running out. "Ambitious book with a large scope that doesn't disappoint. The pace is fast and cinamatic, yet Wiggins attention to detail and character gives the book depth and focus. There's action, there's romance, there's science fiction there's intrigue, there's politics, and there's a message." -Sermons

His God lurks behind an electronic curtain; when the curtain is pulled away we find the CIA sorcerer, the media manipulator.
