To protect her now adult children, Isabel finds courage to confront what came before, and live with the consequences.
The Dark Tide by Andrew Cross
Here we have suspense fiction that has enough facts to keep your brain thinking and wanting more. Andrew Cross’ characters and locations are very well described and the stories well scripted.
Karen Friedman has a happy and loving family until her husband Charles, a highly successful investment banker, was in a commuter train bombing in Grand Central Station. All are in deep sorrow, except for the ones involved in the money laundering schemes that Charles had been performing for many years, all of which his family knew nothing about.
This story line sets the tempo for the twists, turns and suspense to follow when truths and deceptions unravel.
Moving Target by Elizabeth Moon
Moon makes her writing fairly unique through is the fact she has a military background, attaining the rank of Lieutenant with the USA Marine Corps, who she joined in 1968.
This is the second book in a series of 4, which has been described as being “space opera” which is sci-fi with emphasis on romantic adventure. Ky Vatta had been groomed for a career in her family’s interstellar shipping empire, but yearns for the life of a military officer. She becomes a captain, and Ky negotiates an independent contract to supply a struggling colony with agricultural equipment from a nearby planet, but the young woman finds herself in the midst of an interplanetary crisis and must prove her mettle.
