The Mighty First
Mark Bordner
She was seventeen when she experienced her first taste of independence. In a small town under the grip of a failing economy, Minerva Carreno faced a difficult future that promised only hardship. Lured by the sudden recruiting efforts of the Armed Services, she joined the scores of other teens from across the country and enlisted for a four-year term in the Global Marines. Off world travel to exotic locales, a fully paid college fund, paid to get into peak physical condition, what did she have to lose? There hadn’t been so much as a whisper of war in over a century; it was a win-win proposition! The 1st Marine Division, the Mighty First, would be her ticket to an exciting future!
Then the alien gun-ships appeared over our cities . . .

Wasted Space
A Tony Gavel Mystery
J.W. Metcalf
When a successful business man is found dead in his home, the police rule it a suicide. However, certain evidence suggests otherwise. Private investigator, Tony Gavel, is hired to find out the truth of the matter. Tony's investigation leads him from the carefully manicured lawns of the suburbs to the seedy underbelly of the Big City. As he delves further into the case, he uncovers secrets, lies, and danger at every turn. When an attempt is made on his own life, his friend and former partner, Officer Dwight O'Toole, gives Tony until the end of the week to solve the case before the police take over.
Can Tony crack the case before the clock runs out, or will his unstoppable pursuit of justice land him in the morgue as the latest victim?
