The Bishop of 12th Avenue

By Christine Liston

About The Bishop of 12th Avenue:

When you grow up on the violent streets of a dying world, the first thing you learn is to mind your own business. So when eighteen-year-old Jacob Walker stumbles across three federal agents torturing an old man by a church, Jake can’t explain why he bothers to rescue the old guy. As he lay dying, the old man makes a strange sign with his hand, and after mumbling something in an ancient language, he slides a ring on Jake’s finger.

What Jake doesn’t know is that he is now the last hope for a group of believers, or Churchers, living outside the dying city. Even now forces are massing to destroy the strangely naïve Churchers, and although Jake knows nothing of bishops, gods or churches, any chance that this remnant can survive will depend on The BISHOP of 12TH AVENUE.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world suggested by centuries of Christian prophesy and legend, The BISHOP of 12TH AVENUE tells of a desperate fight for survival, an epic battle between good and evil, and a young leader’s struggle to understand the difference.

Youngblood: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller by H. Peter Alesso

By Christine Liston

About Youngblood: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller by H. Peter Alesso:

Youngblood was eighteen when his father placed him in hibernation to await a cure for his disease. But when he woke a century later, he was gasping for breath in a deserted underground bunker of a post-apocalyptic world. Attacked by survivalists and left for dead, Kira rescued him and nourished his spirit.

The world he found was a panoramic tragedy; divided between the Vales who lived a 19th Century subsistence existence as indentured servants of the Mounts who reaped all the benefits of a 22nd Century lifestyle.

Youngblood and Kira struggled to unite people while they searched for the remnants of their past civilization and a possible cure for his disease.

After such global devastation–one thing was certain–only a man from another century could reignite hope.

Deceptions and Lies by P. E. Sibley

By Elizabeth Fogg

About Deceptions and Lies by P. E. Sibley

One terrorist, six hostages, a single bombing…nothing out of the ordinary for task force operatives Alexandra Lansing and Mark Praed. With one exception; this request comes from the High Council on Kyree.

An appeal from Kyree for task force help is peculiar enough for a planet where non-violence is practiced by all its citizens, but the Council is very specific in their choice of task force personnel: Mark Praed.

Praed is baffled by the request. This is the same planet where his birth to a well born Kyreen female caused a galactic scandal, forcing his human father to flee Kyree with his half-human infant.

The operatives travel to Kyree and meet with the High Council’s leader, Dame Ruthanon. Her orders are clear: the hostages are to be released and the terrorist captured, all without the use of violence.

Alex and Praed are soon caught up in something more devious than the straight-forward capture of a terrorist. Nothing is as it appears, and what should have been a simple operation turns into a tangled mess of falsehoods, secret associations and hidden agendas.
