Trapped (3 page)
Authors: Cassie Black
Jason Cross was born seven months later. He came into the world, kicking and screaming, seriously pissed about something, as his father laughingly said later. His mother had smiled tiredly at this evidence of her son's robust nature, and looked at the man she had hated so much until a few short months ago. It had been an uphill battle for her to approach their new relationship with anything other than scepticism, but she had persevered, and had been paid off in spades for her efforts. Lucas Cross had changed.
He chuckled as he held his son awkwardly, and he smiled down at Jo. In the intervening months his obsession had transformed into genuine affection, and then love. He'd had to do a lot of begging at first, but when she had realised that he meant to keep his promise to keep his distance, she had gradually let him closer. He'd stopped trying to control her, and she'd responded by becoming friends with him. It was a painfully slow process, but they'd eventually become lovers again. Not the violent, madly passionate type, but something infinitely more gentle. It's pretty hard to be passionate when you're eight months pregnant, Jo had stated, grumbling about swollen ankles and leaking breasts. And she'd had enough violent and passionate sex from this man to last a lifetime.
Well, maybe not an actual lifetime. Maybe just until her body returned to its normal size, and they could find a babysitter. And then, who knew.

Unfortunately, the secret harbored by his gorgeous, albeit guarded girlfriend is about to shatter all of that.

 | Wendy Reakes The Perfects The Perfects have existed for hundreds of years underground, and now they have surfaced to wage war against the superpowers, to save their mother, Earth, from total destruction. The leaders in the West plan to initiate a nuclear attack on Afghanistan, so that they may claim the mineral wealth beneath the land worth one-trillion dollars. But, as the powers build their cold war shelters with the means to survive decades, the East prepare a counter attack; a move that could destroy the population of the planet. The Perfects have been sent to save the world, but not the people. As they prepare their message to the powers who fight their cause, they connect to the pure of heart; ordinary people they call the Kudos. Seventeen-year old Tom Stone is Kudos. He is prepared to do anything to get that one picture of the elusive creatures, even if it means risking his own life. When Tom meets undercover detective, Jay Pullman, together they meet the Perfects for the first time in a darkened New York alley. There begins a friendship that cannot be broken, not even by the fate of the planet. Across the Atlantic, in Wiltshire, England, Mia Lake has an encounter with the Perfects when they destroy a man of no consequence. Afterwards she makes it her goal to go permanently underground, to live with them forever. If they will let her! After a race of wits and solidarity, the Kudos find the lost subterranean world of Caer Sidi, where they are protected by the Perfects. Finally as the powers destroy themselves with their arsenal of nuclear weapons, taking with them the voices and the will of the ordinary man, the only ones who survive are the people who live underground, where after the fallout, they will start again, as if was the beginning of time.

 | Reggie Ridgway Moon Shadow When a new and potentially planet-killing contagion is discovered, Moon Shadow, an isolated resort town located in Alaska's primitive and rugged interior, becomes the focus of a military-style incursion. Major Pepper, who is in charge of the operation, has the local residents rounded up into a razor-wire inclosed quarantine. Because of the danger of a potential pandemic, they are to be transferred to a more prison-like underground quarantine. Two of the residents, Trevor, a young physician, and Jodie, an Earth Project environmentalist, are not having any of this obvious violation of human rights. They escape and are hunted down like fugitives with the full arsenal of the US Army at the Major's disposal. The two have to use a zip line to escape a three-story-burning lodge. When they seek refuge in an abandoned gold mine, the entrance is caved in by a missile strike. The two fugitives do manage to find a way out of the mine and try to make their way back to civilization and safety by floating down river on a rubber raft. While fighting for their lives against nature and the deranged Major Pepper, the two begin to fall in love with each other. They discover they have more to live for than exposing the Major for his treachery and his murder of innocent civilians for the greater good. Find the book here >> |
