Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough¾but then they started shooting at each other. And at the Navy. With nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight. Richard Ashton thought he was just a ringside observer to these now over-the-horizon events. Until the crippled alien lifeboat came drifting down and homed in on his sailboat; suddenly he has his hands full of an unconscious, critically wounded and impossibly human alien warrior who also happens to be a gorgeous female.

Download or read book Troll Wars written by Charles G Dyer and published by BookCountry. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the end of the Dark Ages. Macans (a.k.a. Gnomes) live peacefully and mind their own business. While most of the men are out on patrol, Trolls kidnap Brodo’s wife Ada and his sons, Morel and Rada. Led by Toki, a small group of Macans track the kidnappers through the forest to a cave at the foot of a mountain range. The ensuing battle, together with an earlier similar attack, marks the beginning of a war of attrition. Trolls are five times bigger than Macans but they are rather stupid and somewhat cowardly. Intelligence, bravery, ingenuity, poisoned arrows and a little bit of magic gives the Macans a small advantage. Trolls usually operate in pairs or small groups but a crackpot king has organised them more and formed a small army. This seriously undermines the Macans’ superiority. Read this action-packed drama to see how things turn out...

Book excerpt: He loathes elves. He can’t fall in love with one. Ever. Imprisoned by the elven court on a fateful mission, Gudvar’s life hangs in the balance. But the risk of death is nothing compared to success, which could mean the end to the war against the elf scourge. And if he can kidnap the woman responsible for his best friend’s death as he escapes, so much the better. He'll extract all the information he needs from her and then...well, one less elf in the world is nothing to complain about, right? But Lady Adharian isn't the arrogant elf he expected. Spending time with her, he sees there is more to her than meets the eye. Desperate for freedom, she didn’t expect help from an orc… Adharian has suffered a miserable existence as her husband—a powerful, but cruel elven champion who hates her—torments her. Desperate to get away and find her lost son, she never anticipated aid from an orc. Gudvar is a ruthless warrior with a fearsome reputation, but as he helps her flee from court (okay, so he didn’t give her much of a choice but she’s not arguing about that) she realizes he's not the enemy she thought him to be. Beneath his tough exterior lies a compassionate and protective man, and during their perilous journey through dangerous terrain she finds herself attracted to him in ways she hadn't imagined. But the champion won't give up that easily. When Adharian is taken from deep within orc lands, Gudvar must face long-hidden truths about Adharian, his best friend's death—and his own deep-seated feelings for the beguiling elven woman he has come to love.
