The entire second seasonMulti-volume, horror-and-science-fiction author Craig Crawford introduces us to the complete season 2 of “Project Threshold: Closing Dark Doors:” The Alaska event changed everything for Project Threshold. They know the beings called the “Ancients” are not only real but a force at the edge of things. Every team lost friends trying to contain the machine entity called Shattiq, and they’re trying to figure out how to carry on while getting back on assignment. Berger gets used to a new role and brings Aurora Delgado into their ranks. Disabled by a sea monster, she sat on the sidelines until she got new legs and Berger coaxes her onto his team. Riker and McCoy are recovering but Kurt and Cass join the team. Riker finds clues about the monster that killed her parents, and a possible way to hunt it down and kill it. Meanwhile, Talise practices her own abilities, gaining an old paranormal friend. Bodi takes the lead for another confrontation with the invisible entity in the woods. Kali isn’t the same at all after saving everything. Her psychic abilities have expanded and keep growing. Her power is a boon in the field, but she’s worried. Her talents keep expanding and she doesn’t know how to shut it off or what the limits of that power will be…  From Latin: Protect Humanity From Darkness This series is fabulous! I love it so much. Science fiction is my favorite genre and fantasy is a close second. These books tickle both of those spots, for me, over and over. The stories in this volume are quite memorable. Combining all of the stories of the second season into one volume is a wonderful idea. So convenient! You are going to love this book! I know I do.  You can buy this book:

Debut Amazon author, Stephen Chalmers, introduces us to his first novel in the Wyatt Scott series, Scott’s Tulsa: In post-war Tulsa, prostitute murders, blackmailer murders, and a murky communist conspiracy embroil a cynical PI in noir plots and Cold War intrigues. His investigation intertwines with his ruined baseball career, his WWII code-breaking service in Alaska, and his obsession with a suspicious death there. Hired to solve a prostitute’s murder, Wyatt Scott navigates all sections of town, from the infamous May Rooms brothel to the Tulsa Club elite. More murders follow his work, leading him in different directions, while his past intrudes on his life, thoughts, and beliefs. Major historical events, including the 1934 Babe Ruth barnstorming tour of Japan and the CIA VENONA file on Soviet spying, weave their way into Scott’s life, the characters, and the narratives. The actions of SCOTT’S TULSA take place in June 1948 amid the specter of real communist threats and the beginnings of postwar social change. Many events and the entire backdrop inhabit the times and places stated. The buildings, businesses, politicians, laws, and institutions described were authentic in 1948 Tulsa. These historical realities blend with Scott and his fictional cohorts to present a story that could have easily unfolded like the tale told.  Scott's Tulsa is a great example of wonderful writing in the noir thriller category! I loved this story! It was gritty enough that it made me squirm and shift in my chair at times! Almost too descriptive for me in a few places, others will love it. The characters were drawn so well, the scenes fit the mood and the action perfectly. I am committed to not giving any spoilers, so I can't say much more, except buy this book and read it.  You can buy this book:
