Never free, but always a bargain:
Crack-UP: a Psychological thriller Best Mystery Novel, Red Adept Annual Indie Awards 2010 Argus Ward is a former U.S. Secret Service agent who runs a protection agency catering to the rich and famous. His best-kept secret--which he shares with lawyers, doctors and even psychiatrists--is his status as a high-functioning paranoid schizophrenic. One day, with little warning, he turns psychotic for the first time in twenty years. He lands in a secure psychiatric facility, charged with the murder of his most famous client, high tech industry billionaire John Helms, the wealthiest man in America. Argus has no memory of the killing. A blood test suggests to him that some unknown enemy had switched his anti-psychotic medication with identical-looking dummy pills to purposely drive him insane. A sign of lingering paranoia? His doctor thinks so. Even his wife. Yet Argus escapes incarceration to prove his theory. With the law on his trail and a ticking time bomb in his head--due to a lack of medication--he discovers that his disease had been "weaponized" by a powerful group to secretly assassinate John Helms as part of a multiple assassination conspiracy of world-wide significance. Or has Argus simply lost his mind again? What in the end is "real" and what is only imagination in his story? And what is justice for the criminally insane? Come lose your grip on reality. Read CRACK-UP. http://www.amazon.com/Crack-Up-ebook/dp/B002HMCLFQ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002HMCLFQ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/5363 |

Big Mac vs The Warrior
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. Last edited by dreams; 02-16-2013 at 01:55 AM.

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. http://www.amazon.com/Reckless-ebook/dp/B009AZE9LM http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reckless-ebook/dp/B009AZE9LM |

MOLOTOV'S COCKTAIL
I have 6 works available at present at
http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...=darvin+babiuk 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. |
