BLOODHEIR by Brian Ruckley — The world has fallen from its former state. The war between the clans of the Black Road and the True Bloods has spread. For Orisian, thane of the ruined Lannis Blood, there is no time to grieve the loss of his family, brutally slain by the invading armies. The Black Road must be stopped. However, as more blood is spilled on the battlefields, so each side in the conflict becomes more riven by internal dissent and disunity. Meanwhile, the long-dormant Anain are stirring — and when the most potent race the world has ever known returns, the bloodletting may never stop.
PAST CARING by Robert Goddard — His life ruined by scandal, Martin Radford holds in his hands the leather-bound journal of another ruined man, former British cabinet minister Edwin Strafford. Martin is being offered a job: to return to England and investigate the rise and fall of Strafford, whose downfall is as mysterious as the strange deaths that still haunt his family. Martin is intrigued by Strafford’s story, but as he retraces Strafford’s ruination, Martin realizes that Strafford did not fall by chance; he was pushed. Suddenly Martin, who has not cared for many people in his life, cares desperately — about a man’s mysterious death and a family’s terrible secret. Most of all Martin cares because the story he is uncovering is not yet over — and among the men and women still caught in its web, Martin himself may be the most vulnerable of all.
THE LAST VAMPIRE by Patricia Rosemoor and Marc Paoletti — Deep in a Texas cave, the military unearths a 500-year-old corpse, its desiccated flesh teeming with mysterious DNA that can transform mortals into beings of imaginable power. Capt. Scott Boulder, leader of a Black Ops unit endowed with these superhuman abilities, is among the first to benefit from the find. But when the creature is conjured to life, unleashing an ancient evil bent on reinstating its poisonous kind on earth, Scott knows he must return the monster to the grave. But this is no ordinary vampire. Once a brutal torturer in the Spanish Inquisition, it can bend the laws of science and magic in horrifying new ways.
MIDNIGHT NEVER COME by Marie Brennan — In hidden catacombs beneath London, a second Queen holds court: Invidiana, ruler of faerie England, and a dark mirror to the glory above. In the 30 years since Elizabeth ascended her throne, fate and mortal politics have become inextricably entwined, in secret alliances and ruthless betrayals whose existence is suspected only by a few. Two courtiers, both struggling for royal favor, are about to uncover the secrets that lie behind these two thrones. When the faerie lady Lune is sent to monitor and manipulate Elizabeth’s spymaster, Walsingham, her path crosses that of Michael Deven, a mortal gentleman and agent of Walsingham’s. His discovery of the “hidden player” in English politics will test Lune’s loyalty and Deven’s courage alike.
AMBUSH by Paul Carson — American expat Dr. Scott Nolan has recently moved to Ireland and enjoys a rising media profile as a persuasive campaigner against drug abuse, and is very much in love with Laura, his beautiful new wife. But one wintry Dublin morning, Scott’s life is changed forever when a team of contract killers attempts a daring double ambush. Their target: Dr. Scott Nolan. The attack goes horribly wrong, and in the bloodbath that follows, Laura is killed by a bullet meant for him. Fueled by grief and revenge, and desperate to claim back his life and find the killers, Scott enters into an uneasy alliance with his wife’s brother, police detective Mark Higgins. Together they embark on a highly controversial international covert mission to slowly and systematically infiltrate the drug scene and track down the assassin.
SHADOW COMMAND by Dale Brown — Gen. Patrick McLanahan’s new Aerospace Battle Force has grown into a full-fledged task force based on the Armstrong Space Station. Providing almost instant access to space and every corner of the globe, the ABF’s powerful network can not only attack any target anywhere on the planet within hours, but can even invade any computer network as easily as making a phone call. But Russian president Leonid Zevitin uses a combination of top-secret anti-spacecraft weaponry, fearmongering and new U.S. president Joseph Gardner’s own egotism in an effective plan to eliminate all support for the space program. Gardner and his allies in Congress and the Pentagon will stop at nothing — even destroying one of their own — to get what they want … or die trying.
