Bargain Book: The Thanksgiving Gang by Russell Moran

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The Sequel to The Gray Ship
A time travel and alternate history thriller of terrorism, love, and courage.

Excerpt from Chapter One
It happened again. I didn’t see it coming. I never do.
My name is Jack Thurber, and I’m a time traveler, not a title I thought I’d aspire to, but having done it three times before, I guess it’s who I am. I slipped through wormholes before, once travelling back to the 1920s, once to Pearl Harbor in 1941 while it was being attacked, and once to the Civil War. This is getting old.
But this time it’s different. I’ve tripped into the future, two years to be exact. Moments ago it was 9 AM on July 1, 2015. Now, according to a news ticker on a building, it’s July 1, 2017. I had been walking through an abandoned lot on the East Side of Manhattan doing research for a magazine article for the Washington Times on underutilized real estate, when I stepped on a storm grate. I felt dizzy, a little nauseated as I always do. The scenery didn’t change much. The lot was still abandoned but it had sprouted two more years-worth of weeds. It was pouring rain. In 2015, a few moments before, it had been a bright day without a cloud in the sky. It’s a strange feeling to step on a grate and go from sunshine to rain in an instant. The gloomy weather wasn’t helping my mood.
I’ve got the drill down by now. The grate was a wormhole, also known as a time portal. Step on it and you’re in for a weird trip. Your world changes fast, very fast. Here’s what I’ve learned: When you step through a wormhole, the way to go back is to find the wormhole and just step on it again. So right now I can simply step on the grate and go backwards two years. But I’m an investigative journalist. How can I pass up a story, even one that I may never tell? Could you resist the urge to know what happened in the past two years? Thank God I resisted the urge to go back.
I took out my phone to call my wife Ashley, but I stopped. There’s no one in the world I like to talk to more than Ashley, but I didn’t want to upset her. A Navy captain, she had just taken command of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, and they’re putting to sea today (today?) for a two-week training cruise. Then I thought: how can I make a phone call two-years into the past? Time travel plays strange tricks with your head.

I’ll call Bennie, of course! Dr. Benjamin Weinberg is a detective and psychiatrist with the New York City Police Department and my best friend. He collaborated with me on a book I wrote about, what else, time travel.
My phone service had been stopped, so I walked into a store and paid cash for a cell phone with pre-purchased minutes.

“Bennie, it’s Jack, Jack Thurber,” I said when he picked up the phone.

“Who the fuck are you, Buddy?” Bennie is also a cop, and his language tends to be blunt.

“It’s Jack Thurber, Ben, do you want me to spell it? I’m four blocks from your office. Can I come to see you?”

When I entered Bennie’s office on 61st Street, he was standing there with a Glock in his hand.

“Nice way to greet an old friend,” I said.

Bennie’s face turned pasty white. He put the gun on his desk and plumped down into his chair.

“Ben, are you okay”

“No, I’m not.”

“What’s the matter?”

“You’re dead, my friend. You died almost two years ago.”

***

Bennie told Jack that he and his wife were killed on Thanksgiving Day, 2015. Jack was Ashley’s guest on the Lincoln, along with a few other civilians, when a terrorist-planted nuclear bomb exploded, killing everyone aboard. Within five minutes, four other American carriers were nuked by terrorist bombs.

Dare he try to go back and change history? Dare he not?

Jack’s got to find a way back to the past, the past when he and Ashley were still alive. To do that he forms a group of people to help him. They call themselves The Thanksgiving Gang.

“Rip roaring, gut wrenching suspense wrapped in a story of friendship and courage.”

Bargain Book: The Scent of Revenge by Russell Moran

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The Scent of Revenge

FBI Agent Rick Bellamy and his wife, Ellen, find themselves in the middle of a sinister terror plot.

Someone is attacking young prominent women, inflicting a horrible disease.

Nobody knows its origin, nobody knows how to stop it, nobody knows how to cure it.

Will the lives of the women be changed forever? When will the attacks stop?

As the head of the FBI Counterterrorism task force, Rick Bellamy thought that he had seen the worst extremes of terror. When he wakes up and turns on the news, the familiar knot in his stomach is always there. He had taken to squinting at the TV, to try to lessen the blow of the latest news of terror. He had recently had a mild heart attack, although, at 42, he’s a young man. His wife, Ellen, comes up with a plan to calm Rick down, to keep him focused on his life, their life, not just terror.

Rick met Ellen, four years younger than him, at a charity fundraiser. He was immediately taken by her beauty. Soon after they met, they fell in love and married. Besides her physical beauty, Rick discovered over their time together that Ellen was a unique human being. She was a well-known architect and the author of two best-selling books on architecture. Rick knew that Ellen had brains. But what he didn’t realize at first was her kindness, her genuine caring for other people, including him. Rick thought of Ellen not only as his wife and lover. He thought of her as his best friend. And the horror of the growing caseload that Bellamy faced called for just that: a friend.

With one news report after another, Bellamy realizes that terrorism has taken on a new face, a face of utter depravity. Woman after woman, some of whom Bellamy knew well, came down with a strange and horrifying disease.

Bellamy had grown accustomed to—if that’s possible—bombings, shootings, kidnappings, stabbings, and the varied accoutrements of terrorism. But nothing had prepared him for this. Women at all levels of American society, from government to business to academia, were being stricken with the disease. The women all had something in common—they were young and they all held positions of prominence. Bellamy started to see a pattern, a group of dots that he started to connect. The toll mounted as Bellamy looked on helplessly.

Suddenly the attacks got personal. Everyone, it seemed, knew a young woman who had been stricken by the illness. Cable news shows began each hour with a count of the latest victims. If 9/11 was the greatest terror spectacular of all time, the Scent of Revenge, as it came to be known, soon emerged into a terror spectacular that just kept growing.

But how can an illness be inflicted? How can a disease be weaponized? How does it happen?

Crimes are often solved by sheer luck. A clue is dropped in an unexpected place, a witness makes a call, a prisoner opens up. After a period of horrifying weeks, a clue finally emerged, a small clue, but a clue that could lead to something else, a dot to connect, a pattern to begin to form. A cop, making a routine arrest in Manhattan, provided the first clue to the horror that the nation faced.

Bellamy and his colleagues realized that the situation had grown beyond the boundaries of law enforcement. They recognized that only science can hold the key to the scourge that’s sweeping the nation. Rick Bellamy and his team of scientists wanted to go on offense. But how?

As the weeks unfolded, and as the count of stricken women grew by the day, Bellamy takes his concerns to the top, to the White House.

Unless he can stop the attacks, America will become a different place, a strange, barren, and horrifying place.

Bargain Book: The Reformers by Russell Moran

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The Reformers

A Matt Blake Novel

A story of law, politics, and alternative history.

“I just met a lying scumbag. Not only is he a lying scumbag, but he’s a mass murderer, a lowlife piece of garbage.
Problem is, he’s my client. I saw him briefly this morning before his arraignment, where the judge read the charges against him, including 61 one counts of murder, for openers, along with 105 counts of attempt to commit murder, plus a lot of other assorted mayhem. Nice guy.
Did I mention he’s a scumbag?”
Matt Blake prides himself on being a great attorney, but he’s not without preconceived notions, especially when a case involves a terrorist. When Matt enters the courtroom, he feels like it’s his home. He’s smart, highly educated, and keenly perceptive.
But sometimes Matt acts like a jerk, as his wife, Dee, a university professor, occasionally has to remind him. Dee had already read all about Matt’s new client in front page articles in all the major newspapers.
When Matt got home the evening after the arraignment, he couldn’t wait to tell Dee all about the exciting case and his creep of a client. He recounted the crimes that his client committed.
“He’s detonated a bomb at a mall. You and I already know all about that from the news. He killed 61 people and wounded 105.”
“Excuse me, Matt,” Dee said, “I believe you mean that 61 people were killed and 105 were wounded. You just said ‘He killed 61 people and wounded 105.’ You sound like you’ve already deliberated on the evidence and are about to announce a verdict—and you’re his fucking lawyer!”
“God, she can be a pain in the ass at times,” Matt thought. But he had to admit that Dee asks questions that he should have asked.
But she hadn’t heard anything yet, Matt thought. He told her that his client’s thumbprint was found on a remote detonator, along with DNA evidence from an apparent cut to his finger. The police had a videotape of him standing next to a satchel that was later determined to contain the bomb.
“How’s that for damning evidence, Dee. As I said, he’s a lying scumbag.”
Dee, not a lawyer but an observant professor, then picked apart the evidence, showing Matt that there could be simple explanations for all of the seemingly damning evidence.
Dee often calls Matt “counselor” when he’s behaving like anything but.
“I can’t believe you, Dee. You’re asking the questions that I should be asking. You embarrass me.”
Soon, Matt discovers, thanks to Dee, that his loser of a case has a lot more to it. He stopped calling his client a scumbag, at Dee’s insistence. Not only did the evidence start to look shaky, but within days two other men from different parts of the country were accused of similar crimes—with almost identical evidence.
It soon became clear that a nationwide conspiracy was in the making, a conspiracy formed by a sinister man named Bartholomew Martin who is running for President of the United States. Martin is the head of a shadowy organization that few people know about, including the United States government. The group is a terrorist organization at its heart, and kills, not because of religious fanaticism, but to amass power.

It’s a new force the world has never seen before, headed by a man who will stop at nothing to become a ruler. They ruthlessly slaughter radical Islamists. People begin to see Martin and his thugs as the solution to the problem of worldwide terrorism. They soon find out that the solution is worse than the problem.

Dee begins to see Matt as a great man, not just a great guy. She convinces him to run for president to oppose the evil genius and his organization, who are bent on changing the country to a dictatorship headed by Martin.
Matt and Dee find themselves in the middle of the most gigantic plot the world has ever seen, a conspiracy that’s only begun to grow.

The Reformers, the sequel to Sideswiped, is a wild legal thriller and an adventure into alternate history.

Bargain Book: Sideswiped by Russell Moran

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

Trial lawyer Matt Blake took on a perfect case.
It involved a sideswipe collision in which his client’s husband, an investigative reporter, was killed. The evidence of negligence was overwhelming. Eyewitnesses testified that defendant was talking on his cell phone when he hit the other car.
But was it negligence? Was it an accident?
Or was it murder?
Matt uncovers evidence that the act may have been intentional. Somebody wanted the man dead. Somebody wanted the man silenced.
Somebody had a lot to hide.
The signs started to point to the highest levels of government.
An open-and-shut personal injury case suddenly became a vast conspiracy of terror.

Bargain Book: Pianist in a Bordello by Mike C. Erickson

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

Pianist in a Bordello

What would happen if a politician decided to tell the truth—the whole truth?
Richard Youngblood, aspiring Congressman, is about to find out. He’s running on a platform of honesty and transparency—and against the advice of his friends and advisers he’s decided to start with himself. His autobiography will lay his entire life bare before voters just days before the election.
And what a life he’s had. Born in a commune and named Richard Milhous Nixon Youngblood as an angry shot at his absent father, Richard grows up in the spotlight, the son of an enigmatic fugitive and the grandson of a Republican senator. He’s kidnapped and rescued, kicked out of college for a prank involving turkeys, arrested in Hawaii while trying to deliver secrets to the CIA…Dick Nixon Youngblood’s ready to tell all.
He’ll even tell his readers about the Amandas—three women who share a name but not much else, and who each have helped shape and define the man he’s become.
Are voters really ready for the whole truth?
Are you?
Pianist in a Bordello is a hilarious political romp through the last four decades of American history, from a narrator who is full of surprises.

Bargain Book: The Gray Ship by Russell Moran

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

The Gray Ship

Alternate history, time travel romance, and military fiction.
From KIRKUS Reviews

“In this stellar time-travel novel, a modern-American nuclear-powered cruiser sails through a time portal and goes back 152 years to the days just before the beginning of the Civil War. The USS California, under the command of Capt. Ashley Patterson, an African-American woman, is headed toward Charleston, S.C., to participate in a ceremony commemorating the first battle of the Civil War: the bombardment of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861.

But before her ship reaches its destination, the massive cruiser–and its 630 crew members–travel through some sort of temporal wormhole and end up near the Charleston Harbor in 1861, just hours before the Confederate assault is about to begin.

After eventually wrapping her head around the fact that her entire crew has traveled back in time, Patterson realizes that she has some difficult decisions to make: Does she let history repeat itself and focus on trying to find a way back home, or does she use the military superiority of the California–“outfitted with enough firepower to unleash Biblical hell on an enemy”–to help end the war quickly and thus save the approximately 620,000 soldiers who would otherwise die in the next four years?

Powered by a cast of well-developed characters–Lincoln and Lee are among the prominently featured historical figures–consistently brisk pacing and a pulse-pounding conclusion, the humanist themes of this novel are momentous and just as timely today as they were back in the 1860s.

This provocative, intensely powerful novel is a must-read for sci-fi fans and Civil War aficionados, though mainstream fiction readers will find it heart-rending and inspiring as well. A rare read that’s not only wildly entertaining but also profoundly moving.”
