Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. Whoever coined that phrase is a bald-faced liar. Words are often the sharpest weapon of all, triggering some of the most powerful emotions a human can experience. "You're pregnant." "It's a boy." "Your son needs a heart transplant." Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. Lies. Syllables and letters may not be tangible, but they can still destroy your entire life faster than a bullet from a gun. Two words-that was all it took to extinguish the sun from my sky. "He's gone." For ten years, the darkness consumed me. In the end, it was four deep, gravelly words that gave me hope of another sunrise. "Hi. I'm Porter Reese."

Less than a hundred years in the future, pollution, economic disaster, and the rapacious greed of the corporate oligarchy has brought America to its knees and created dystopian urban nightmares, of which L.A. may be the worst. Curtis, Japh, and Jool are film extras, who—with the help of a couple of very gutsy women—survived being anonymous players in a "live-action" film in which getting killed on-screen meant getting killed for real. Surviving the shoot made them rich enough to escape the post-apocalyptic Hell that L.A. has become. But their survival was not what Panoply Studios' CEO Val Margolian had in mind, especially since it cost his company millions. Now he's taking his revenge. After several plainclothes police are found dead in the former extras' new home, the bucolic, peaceful town of Sunrise, California, the entire town is subjected to Margolian's invidious plan to punish the entire town...and make a fortune doing it. Margolian has created toxic, murderous wasp-like mechanical creatures to set upon the people of Sunrise, while his film crew captures the carnage in what promises to be the bloodiest "live-action" film yet. With their haven from L.A. besieged by the deadly assault, the former extras—and their fellow townspeople—are faced with a grim task: to defeat the creatures and take back their town and their freedom. Michael Shea's Assault on Sunrise is a saga of courage and sacrifice in a world gone mad.

This bloodthirsty psychopath wants to kill the sheriff for killing his buddies. And he plans to get his revenge using a highly combustible mix of fire, fear, and dynamite.

Two women are taken -- and the world is held hostage. "[A] very detailed and well-plotted piece of work with plenty of twists and turns ... It's a terrific piece of work" --MICHAEL ROWLEY Editor of The Martian "Impressive ... one of the best ... [a] real page turner. I felt compelled to get to the end just to see what happens, and that's rarer than you might think in this line of work." --SCRIBENDI Mark Jensen is a nationally renowned trial lawyer whose life comes apart when his daughter and her best friend vanish from an upscale shopping mall, where their car was found with the key in the door. The police response is worse than disappointing--it almost seems as if they don't want the women found. Desperate, and unaccustomed to feeling so helpless, Jensen enlists the aid of the Brecht Group, whose resources include top forensics experts, cyber-warriors and elite former soldiers, including Roady Kenehan, a mythical figure in the special forces community who served in CIA's Special Activities Directorate. Using cutting-edge technology and superb investigative skills, Kenehan and the Brecht Group discover a threat of unimaginable proportions. Millions of lives are at stake; they may be the only ones who can prevent a global war. Fans of Stephen Hunter, Michael Connolly and Daniel Silva will enjoy the first in a new series about the adventures of Roady Kenehan and the Brecht Group. Vividly crafted characters, cutting edge science and pulse-pounding action make this book impossible to put down.
