[Pixel Picks] Freebies & Deals for Feb 9th: Part 2

This is an action-packed novel following covert operative Kyle Harris from his home base in Northern Virginia, through the streets of Trieste, Italy and the snowy Alps of Austria, in his quest to stop a greedy businessman from single-handedly depleting the world’s food supply.

When it’s discovered that the murder of Kyle Harris’ wife is not a case of “wrong place, wrong time” – but another piece of the puzzle – his professional war against the culprits turns equally personal.

The pursuit picks up speed when Harris joins forces with Italian operative, Piero Ciompi, who also turns out to have a personal stake in finding the engineers of this potentially catastrophic seed mutation campaign.

Kyle Harris is confident their plan will work. Though his military training and personal distrust of others keeps him perpetually on guard, he hopes his instincts about Piero Ciompi are dead on as they join forces and storm the enemy’s remote Austrian fortress.

Abigail Stanton’s whole life was rooted in her faith, a faith she now clings to solely to survive. In the wake of losing her husband and young son, Abby sets out alone, bereft and heartsick, to discover what God wants her to do.

As Abby and Conor draw closer to the flame of their attraction, they must grapple with their deepest beliefs and fears. In opening their hearts again, both risk even greater loss for a chance at the greatest love of all.

Like a thunderhead heedlessly bearing down, The Storm Glass builds in fearsome intensity, drawing the good, the truly evil, and the innocent together when a despicable crime rocks the small city of Hannibal. Wilson is powerless to stop the heart rending violence and brutality.

But getting revenge is an entirely different matter…

[Hot Deal] Tears in Rain – Save 87%

Tears in Rain
by Rosa Montero

Death is inevitable. Especially when you have an expiration date.

As a replicant, or “techno-human,” Detective Bruna Husky knows two things: humans bioengineered her to perform dangerous, undesirable tasks; and she has just ten years on the United States of Earth before her body automatically self-destructs. But with “anti-techno” rage on the rise and a rash of premature deaths striking her fellow replicants, she may have even less time than she originally thought.

Investigating the mysterious deaths, Bruna delves into the fractious, violent history shared by humans and replicants, and struggles to engage the society that fails to understand her – yet created her. The deeper she gets, the deadlier her work becomes as she uncovers a vast, terrifying conspiracy bent on changing the very course of the world. But even as the darkness of her reality closes in, Bruna clings fiercely to life.
