Book excerpt: Three months of not knowing if I were dead or alive and I'm still infinitely yours. When Luminous River, former sect leader of Silver Guard, survives a near fatal blow dealt by her detrimental fate and lover, Demir Losett. She has to decide if she wants to let the past rest where it is or handle things the only way she knows how. With her razor wire whip. While she tries to regain her strength—and forget about the man who put her in the situation to begin with. The fates decide to deal yet another blow to the venerated former sect leader. Shang Wylan is next to the worst possible man Luminous has ever encountered. Not because of his looks or the way he wears an all-black warrior outfit. But due to the menacing way he looks at her and the secrets he refuses to share. Will the two of them form a bond unlike any other? Or will Luminous be forced to have the same distrust towards Shang as she does for her former lover, Demir Losett? Demir Losett, now the honorable Judge Losett, is wracked with guilt for his role in Luminous’s untimely—and halfway planned—passing. He will question his ability to kill the only woman he’s ever loved and try to hold onto hope for what he’s lost. When he receives word and proof of Lumi being very much alive, Demir is forced to play both sides of the court in order to save her from a ground of mad scientists and a hellbent judge on the same bench he sits on. In order to make amends for the wrongs he had committed against Lumi, Demir will be faced with a new revelation that will turn all of his plans on over and back. Between Lumi's new found will to live and Demir’s expertise in the art of holding secrets and making plans. The two of them will have to come together long enough to take down the people who created them. But what happens when Lumi becomes the target of the most powerful judge on the bench? Will she face what is coming to her without the help of her lover who seemingly switched sides? Or will Demir, yet again, orchestrate a way to get out of the hell he had helped create? Love is out the window, trust is broken. Life never stops for a breather, but no matter what, the two will face an infinite amount of hell just to be together again.

Download or read book Paradime written by Alan Glynn and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Limitless, now a major motion picture, a “wheels-within-wheels conspiracy novel [that] is both insidious and ingenious” (Laura Wilson, The Guardian). Danny Lynch didn’t sign up for this, but right now, it’s all he’s got. Three weeks ago, he was working at a chow hall in Afghanistan and—more or less—doing fine. Sure, this meant living in a war zone, but he was never in the line of fire and, frankly, the money was hard to resist. Then Danny saw something he shouldn’t have, and now he’s back in New York City, haunted by what sent him home and lucky to be employed at all, even if that means dicing carrots for ten hours a day in a stuffy Midtown restaurant. The job’s one saving grace? A sight line from his prep station in the kitchen to a coveted corner table in the main room. For Danny, this is a window into the lives of some of Barcadero’s flashy clientele—and one evening, he sees a man who looks exactly like him. Teddy Trager is the visionary founder of the billion-dollar investment firm Paradime Capital. He has everything Danny never knew he wanted—cashmere suits, a sleek sports car . . . privilege, power—and the closer Danny looks at Trager the more fixated he becomes. “A paranoid conspiracy thriller with a significant twist . . . The result is a powerful psychological thriller of institutional corruption braided with ancient folkloric motifs.” —The Irish Times (Best Crime Fiction of the Year) “No one spins 21st Century facts into high-tech fantasies like Glynn.” —Jane Ciabattari, BBC (Ten Books to Read This Month) “Deliciously creepy.” —Kirkus Reviews

The iMe series are fast paced crime thrillers set in an eerily believable near future world. Starring Detective Inspector Clive Lussac - think Roy Grace meets Black Mirror. Book 1 - Proximity Book 2 - No Signal Each book can be read as a stand-alone novel. ‘A BUREAUCRAT navigating the pandemic would chew their right arm off for an iMe…Even now, tech is being made the seems like a precursor to the iMe’ New Scientist Praise for Proximity: ‘a fast-paced and riveting plot that twists and teases with the high stakes and flashes of violence that electrify the genre.’ SciFiNow ‘Tugwell brings to life his exhilarating and provocative debut crime thriller with a twist.’ The Malestrom, 4 of the Best Beach Reads: Summer 2019 ‘An ingenious and highly plausible look at crime in a future with 100% surveillance’ Claire McGowan, Best selling author ‘Very topical, terrifying, perfect concept for a crime novel’ Stav Sherez, Award winning author ‘Darkly twisted crime novel in a future that seems to grow closer every day. Fantastically imaginative and gripping.’ Angela Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author 5* Review ’The writing hurtles along like a runaway train and you can barely pause for breath.

Gill Chedgey (NB Magazine) 5* Review ‘I must admit that I finished the book with a prayer that I will never see something like iMe in my lifetime - the idea is just too terrifying’ Breakaway Reviewers ‘5*s from me as the storyline is brilliant…Plenty of discussion topics here for bookclubs!’ EmmabBooks 'Proximity hits hard and cold right to the heart of what could be our future, and this knowledge makes this book one of the scariest I have ever read. I don’t care for horror. Just give me a speculative novel shaping a future so realistic I don’t even need to close my eyes to imagine it, and I’m sold. Sold and freaked out. Jem Tugwell’s outstanding description of years to close to ours to my taste left me speechless.’ Meggy Chocolate’n’Waffles 'A brilliant book, an excellent thriller and 100% entertaining. Highly recommended. Really can’t wait for a follow up! Genius.’ Books from Dusk Till Dawn 'An enjoyable and somewhat unnerving peek at what technology could be like in our future. “Proximity” is fast-paced, imaginative and could easily be featured as the next episode of “Black Mirror”.

Dorset Book Detective What some of the Amazon readers are saying: 5* 'Big Brother on steroids' 5* ‘This is a really creative idea expertly executed in a fast paced thriller you won't be able to put down!’ 5* ‘What a fantastic read.
