http://www.amazon.com/Post-Human-Tra...7536800&sr=1-1

The future should have been perfect. Microscopic robots known as nans could repair any damage to your body, keep you young by resetting your cellular clocks, and allow you to download upgrades like intelligence, muscle strength, and eyesight. You were supposed to be able to have anything you wanted with a simple thought, to be able to fly without the aid of a machine, to be able to live forever. But when a small group of five terraformers working on Venus return to Earth, they discover that every other human in the solar system has been gruesomely murdered. Now, James Keats and his four companions must discover what happened to the rest of humanity and fight back if they wish to avoid the same, horrifying fate. Welcome to the post-human era.

The Pineville Heist by Lee Chambers. YA mystery/adventure. The product description says this was originally a screenplay turned into a movie and now a book. Might be worth a peek.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Pineville-...7537270&sr=1-1

THE STORY: Seventeen year old Aaron stumbles into the aftermath of a five million dollar bank heist gone wrong. Hiding under a canoe, Aaron partially catches the murder of one of the robbers. In the chaos he sneaks away with the money and heads straight for the closest place of safety, his high school. Terrified, Aaron tells his shocking tale to Amanda Becker, his drama teacher, but it doesn't take long for one of the psychotic robbers to show up. In the locked down school the pair are relentlessly pursued in a quest to get the money back and wipe out the evidence.

The Pineville Heist, based on the award-winning screenplay by Lee Chambers and Todd Gordon.

The Ninth Step by Barbara Taylor Sissel. Not sure how to classify this one. Contemporary fiction/mystery with a romantic dash. Author is an editor and reviewer which may explain the flowery description that I edited.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Ninth-Step...7537665&sr=1-1

Livie Saunders is fluent in the language of flowers; she taught the meanings to her fiancé, Cotton O'Dell, but then Cotton vanished without explanation on their wedding day forcing Livie to learn the language of desolation. Heartbroken, she buries her wedding gown beneath a garden pond and she resolves to move on, but there are nights when she slips . . . into a sequined red dress and a pair of stiletto heels, a stranger's bed, a little anonymous oblivion that is not without consequence. Still, she recovers a semblance of ordinary life and imagines herself content. After all, Cotton told her to forget about him. Livie even maintains a friendship with Delia, Cotton's mother, whom he also abandoned without a word of explanation.

Then, six years later, an unsigned card and a bouquet of irises signal Cotton's presence, but his reunion with Livie isn't as joyous as he had hoped. While she struggles to forgive him, Livie can't hide her own past and how she has changed since Cotton left.

Meanwhile, Cotton is still haunted by the crime that caused him to flee...a crime for which the legal clock is still ticking. For a moment, it seems they can both forget the past and rebuild their lives together, but then Cotton goes missing again.

This one is for the brave:
The 11th Plague by Albert S. Klainer MD and Jo-Ann Klainer. Originally published in 1974 by Simon & Schuster. Medical thriller 192 pgs. Very mixed reviews. Although a positive one from the NYT.
http://www.amazon.com/The-11th-Plagu...7542888&sr=1-1

The 11th Plague is a compelling medical thriller that describes a biological warfare attack on the United States to keep it out of a war in the Middle East. The novel follows a heart-stopping search to identify both the mysterious microorganism that is attacking the US and the person or persons who have perpetrated this conspiracy. " . . . the mysterious epizootic has killed 45,000 in two days. At this rate, the computer projects 3,000,000 fatalities a month and national extinction within a year." (NY Times Book Review, January 20, 1974)

Rhamin by Bryce Thomas. YA light fantasy that I think was free before.
http://www.amazon.com/Rhamin-ebook/d...7543583&sr=1-1

Rhamin is the leader of a pack. His rival, who cannot depose him, resorts to doing bad things to try, which results in a young boy, his sister and their parents entering the story.
At a time when some wolves are in need of help to survive, one of the pack discovers that it can communicate with the boy and it is the relationship that builds between the wolves and the family that leads to a dangerous and exciting adventure for them all.
With a good element of the paranormal and a couple of humourous characters as well, the story is told from the wolves' perspective, taking readers inside the pack so that they see everything through a wolf's eyes.
Rhamin is a bestselling light, fantasy adventure with lots of danger, drama and suspense. It has an unusual twist and a knife edge climax that keeps you turning the pages to the very last page.

And finally a freebie repeat.
My Particular Friend (A Charlotte House Affair) by Jennifer Petkus. Billed as historical mystery. Few reviews but sample seems competent.
http://www.amazon.com/Particular-Fri...7544417&sr=1-2

Miss Charlotte House will not admit impediments to marriage, not even when those impediments include scandal, blackmail and even a duel to the death. With the help of her particular friend Miss Jane Woodsen, she deduces all that happens in Bath—both good and ill—and together they ensure that true love’s course runs smooth, even though both friends have suffered tragedies that prevent their own happiness. These six affairs, set in Bath, England, during the Napoleonic War, are inspired by the creations of both Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jane Austen.
