The Big Mac sells at about $4.33 in the US, has 550 calories, and is frequently used by economists as an index for measuring purchasing parity around the world.

We all know the problems with the Big Mac.

550 calories. That is one problem.

The other is that it is not really re-usable. We all know where it goes the next day. Hell, sometimes the same day!

The Warrior on the other hand is just $2.99. Is repeatedly consumable. Adds zero calories on consumption. Lives long in your imagination.

Why don’t you toddle off to, http://www.amazon.com/The-Warrior-ebook/dp/B00AMHDUMQ/ or http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Warrior-...dp/B00AMHDUMQ/ or http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/264075 and check it out?

It IS the healthier option.


The Warrior:

Zeb Carter is almost your average Private Military Contractor.

When working for a WDE (We Don't Exist) Agency, Zeb witnesses a gruesome crime in the Congo and tracks the perpetrators down to New York. Only to discover that not only are they protected by the FBI, but also are closely connected to a very high profile politician.

Zeb can walk away from his hunt, or pursue with it and put those close to him in the sights of the killers.

A thriller that spans Congo and New York, The Warrior is dotted with gritty action, a central character that fuels imagination, and is also about the brotherhood of warriors.

Reviews:
Gripping Read. The plot is cleverly developed and intelligently thought-through, the interconnections of the various parties involved in the hunt for Holt are excellently laid out. The descriptions of the developing complications and conflicts that arise for some of the players in this game are one of the highlights of this reading experience and a welcome relieve from often too simply laid out crime fiction. Patterson is a distinguished, clever and skilled story teller.

Awesome Thriller.I'm not much on reading thriller books but Patterson drew me in. It is well thought out, constructed, and keeps you intrigued to know what will happen.

Fast paced/Cool lead. I don't normally read thrillers, but I was gifted a copy of The Warrior by Ty Patterson and I like to try new things, so I went for it. Glad I did.

Reckless

Steve Pearce is moderately successful businessman living a comfortable but unremarkable life in north London.

Forty years ago however, Steve led a somewhat less unremarkable life as bass guitarist in the rock band Rydberg State; back then he had his eye on the big time…

When he receives a telephone call informing him of the death of Brian Halstead, Rydberg State’s erstwhile leader, songwriter and vocalist, Steve looks back on his former life as a rock musician and wonders where it all went wrong…or whether, in fact, it did go wrong at all.

From Buddy Holly to the Beatles, from the streets of swinging London (and slightly less swinging Birmingham) to the pomp and pretension of progressive rock, from the beery back-to-basics of pub rock to the year zero slash and burn of punk, Steve looks back on the music that surrounded him and considers his part in it all.

What I'd like to promote today is a thriller called MOLOTOV'S COCKTAIL.



SYNOPIS:

Anatoli Molotov has been internally exiled to Siberia for alleged crimes committed while serving as a Soviet diplomat at the United Nations headquarters in New York in the mid 1950s. Landing “softly” in the gulag administrative town of Koriak, he is assigned to a mid-management government position, mostly content to spin his wheels and acquaint his lips with a vodka bottle. Then, Khrushchev has one of his hair-brained ideas: he will wean the Japanese away from the American side of the Cold War by returning the Kurile Islands to them and releasing the remains of the tens of thousands of Japanese POWs left to die in Siberia at the end of WWII.
The arrival of the Japanese delegation in Koriak wakes Molotov from his slumber. The Japanese delegation is headed by an old friend from the UN, Norio Shimizu. Using Shimizu as a conduit, Molotov plans to get a scientific discovery out of the Soviet sharashka (scientific penal colony) out to the wider world. That discovery is an anti-gravity device that can, in fact, change the world, something that would make “free energy” possible, threatening both Communism and Capitalism alike. Somehow, he has to deceive them to transport the device that neither side wants to come to light out to the free world.
Along the way, Molotov has to find a way to manipulate his Soviet masters, the Japanese capitalist sent on the secret mission to collect the war dead, his KGB nemesis from the UN mission in New York, and his corrupt local Soviet boss. As if this isn’t enough, Molotov must find ways to deal with the arrival of his long-lost lover who arrives in Koriak complete with a previously unknown daughter, a possibly fatal illness, the murder of one of the Japanese delegation, and political maneuvering within the Bolshevik Party after the death of Stalin and the ascendance of Khrushchev as friend and foe alike (who know which is which?) try to choreograph events to fill the void left by Stalin and position themselves in the new world.

Right now, and for the next week and a half, I've got Eyes of Diamond, Hair of Gold available in the LibraryThing member giveaway:

http://www.librarything.com/er/giveaway/list

50 copies are available and they're all given away at the end of the giveaway period [which, again, ends in about a week and a half]. If you've got a LibraryThing account and are interested in reading my latest mystery novel, get your name in the pot!

And if you're not sure what the book's about, here's the synopsis:

Having finally returned from her first case, Detective Allison Newberry is immediately sent on to her next: the murder of a famed inventor. But she won't be solving this one alone. Another detective, the opinionated and unlikable Alistair Mooney, has been sent along as her assistant.

The murdered inventor, Gregory Williams, had surrounded himself with a technological world filled with his own creations, even going so far as to build a fake town to act as the outward expression of his personal obsessions. The few who live in the town full-time were utterly devoted to him, even as they despised each other, making it difficult to determine who might have committed the crime.

However, it is not the people or the town that make this case so bizarre. Living within the walls of the house are dozens of automatons, mechanical servants who will never grow tired and will never complain about any orders they're given. One automaton in particular, Maximilian, is far more advanced than any of the others, and even possesses the ability to speak in the voice of his creator.

Allison is suspicious of him, Alistair despises him, but it is not Maximilian that poses the greatest threat to all those gather for the funeral, but rather it is Gregory Williams himself...

My humorous short story "A Very Ugly Story" is free 2/27 and 2/28 on amazon.

[Affiliate tag - MODERATOR]

Carry Lada's A Very Ugly Story: (Short Fiction: approximately 4000 words)

Immerse your imagination into this silly story that will tickle your funny bone.

Warning: In this story there are plenty of nipples. (o)(o) Don't reach for a paper towel just yet, because this is not erotica.

An amateur mad scientist, a mean boss, a very ugly mishap, some beautiful people, and a bouncing bikini babe running away to retain her beauty.

Excerpt:

She fell off of the balcony face first and a branch of the ugly tree broke her fall as it sprung back. Boing! It tossed her to the branch on the other side of the tree again and again. Each time she hit a branch it altered her. Her look, color, and form had drastically changed. She fell down the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

The Storm Protocol by Iain Cosgrove
Imagine creating the perfect drug; all of the highs with none of the lows. No side effects, no painful physical withdrawal, no drawbacks. Or are there....

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, Thomas Eugene O’Neill, a.k.a The Street, an Irish immigrant mob enforcer, waits patiently with his gun amidst the sweltering heat of a southern storm. His employers, Italian American drug lords Guido and Ernesto Mancini, have a guaranteed formula to create the perfect narcotic and Thomas knows too much. But he is not alone.

For Thomas, the middle-aged hit man, all roads seem to lead back to Cork; the city of his birth and the ghosts of his past. He has plenty of questions and needs some answers, and all the while the words echo in his head.

‘Be careful what you wish for!’
