Definition of "Action and Adventure Genre": You may ask yourself, how does an Action and Adventure ebook differ from a Thriller ebook? Fair question. They may seem similar, but the main aspect of an Action and Adventure ebook is the element of consistent physical danger as a main part of the storyline. So, while our reference to Tom Cruise and, for instance, his Mission Impossible series was slightly tongue-in-cheek, those stories would actually fall into the Action and Adventure genre. Another important aspect of the Action and Adventure genre is that the pace of the novel using action is actually just as important as character building and setting--which makes the genre differ from others in a significant fashion.
Some examples of Action and Adventure bestselling ebooks are James Patterson (most of his Alex Cross novels), Pierce Brown (Red Rising), Tom Clancy (most of his Jack Ryan novels), and A.G. Riddle (The Atlantis Gene).

This third book in the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series provides a delightful romp through the English countryside and back.
Anxious to be married, Henrietta and Clive push forward with their wedding plans despite their family differences, made worse now by Oldrich Exley’s attempts to control the Von Harmons. When the long-awaited wedding day arrives, there is more unfolding than just Clive and Henrietta’s vows of love. Stanley and Elsie’s relationship is sorely tested by the presence of the dashing Lieutenant Harrison Barnes-Smith and by Henrietta’s friend Rose—a situation that grows increasingly dark and confused as time goes on.
As Clive and Henrietta begin their honeymoon at Castle Linley, the Howards’ ancestral estate in England, they encounter a whole new host of characters, including the eccentric Lord and Lady Linley and Clive’s mysterious cousin, Wallace. When a man is murdered in the village on the night of a house party at the Castle, Wallace comes under suspicion—and Clive and Henrietta are reluctantly drawn into the case, despite Clive’s anxiety at involving his new bride and Henrietta’s distracting news from home.
Delicately attempting to work together for the first time, Clive and Henrietta set out to prove Wallace’s innocence, uncovering as they do so some rather shocking truths that will shake the Linley name and estate forever.

But her hopeless pleas would never be answered. No one would come to her rescue.
Now her body lays lifeless, floating in the water.
The girl could not escape the deadly and sinister secrets that Windsor Island holds…
It’s been a year since the body of FBI agent Emma Griffin's ex-boyfriend was found on the beach.
His death remains as mysterious as ever, the truth has yet to be revealed.
Emma still cannot escape the feeling of guilt, regret, and grief that follows her daily.
Until a girls night with her best friend brought an unexpected surprise.
A week-long-all-expense paid vacation to an exclusive island resort.
Being in paradise should be the perfect way to clear her mind… But, when a body turns up and girls start to go missing. Disturbing secrets about the resort are coming to the surface. Turns out paradise is just an illusion, and the truths behind the dangers on this island are far more disturbing than Emma and her friends could ever imagine.

Even if it means she gets taken too.
Will Emma be able to survive “paradise” and get off the island alive?
Dangerous Waters is the first book in the Emma Griffin FBI series, it can be read as a standalone.
A homeless man. Violently strangled. No leads. Except his past.
An outsider himself, DS George Cross is drawn to this case. The discovery of the dead man's connection to an old cold case then pulls Cross in further. Convinced this is where the answer to the murder lies, he sets about solving another that someone has spent the past fifteen years thinking they’ve got away with.
Cross’ relentless obsession with logic, detail and patterns is what makes him so irritatingly brilliant. It doesn’t exactly make him popular with colleagues or his superiors, though. He has numerous enemies in the force wanting to see him fail.
Red flags are soon raised as suspicious inconsistencies and errors in the original detective’s investigation come to light. Now retired, this ex-cop has powerful friends in the force and a long-standing dislike of Cross.
Set in picturesque Bristol in the Southwest of England, it’s not long before the city reveals its dark underbelly, in a case of intriguing twists and turns whose result astonishes even those involved.
Difficult and awkward, maybe. But Cross has the best conviction rate in Avon & Somerset Police. By far. Will this case put an end to that?
Wealthy American political elites, Chinese agents and a social media exec spin a geopolitical cyber conspiracy to sweep the 2020 presidential election and restructure American democracy to single party rule.
Packed with rich details and convincing characters you’ll love or hate. Eva Johnson just may be the most intriguing new female protagonist in years. You’ll be cheering for a sequel.
A tough, thought-provoking book that’s much more than a typical thriller. Beyond delivering a rocket ride that builds to a crescendo of surprises, it’s an expose of the political tactics and technologies that are challenging American democracy. The story is fiction, but the fact-setting and the underlying issues are real. Regardless of your politics, it will challenge your beliefs about social and political stereotypes and thrust you into the midst of the political, technology and social changes affecting American culture and democracy. You’ll never look at American politics or political thrillers the same way again.
If you like politics and sophisticated thrillers by authors who make you think—people like Dan Brown, Michael Crichton, Ken Follett, Stieg Larsson, John le Carré and Daniel Silva—you’ll be glad you read Intentional Consequences.
Includes great discussion questions for book clubs.

"What do you know about the ZOO?"
Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle
The former sergeant took in a deep breath, tilting his head as he looked at the man in front of him.
“Unofficially? It’s a military experiment gone bad, with all the pros and cons that come with it. No official word was shared, of course. This means that I don’t officially know the source of the damn jungle starting to cover the Sahara Desert nicknamed the Zoo comes from some goop that was found on a missile that may or may not have alien origins."
He stopped his explanation a moment and eyed the Retired Colonel in front of him, "Remind me, what is the government’s official stance on aliens again?”
Anderson smirked, "The jury is still out on that one."
Jeremiah Johnson needs a job, and Retired Marine Colonel Anderson needs a man with Johnson's particular skills.
Fast.
It's either a match made in Heaven, or Hell. It all depends on which side of the gun you happen to be standing on.
The safe end, or the business end.
Inside the ZOO isn't the only place people are acting greedy. Doctor Courtney Monroe has taken control of her Dad's legacy - she just needs two men to help make it happen.
Anderson and Savage just might be up to the task.

On a bright August day, the sun disappears.
Sam van Oen barely escapes freezing to death in his house, as his watch stops and fire ceases to burn. He is pulled into the Nether—a nexus between ten alien cultures—where he meets Rilan and Origon, two maji who can control the musical foundation of the universe.

But more freezing voids like the one that started his journey are appearing, and Sam’s chances of getting back are fading. The Assembly of Species is threatening to dissolve and the maji are being attacked by those they protect, while rumors grow of an ancient, shape-changing species of assassins, returning to wage war.
The Dissolution is coming
For thirty years, Brendan Murphy has done the impossible. He has kept his client, Professor Edward Wynne Carter, III, alive on Virginia’s Death Row. Three juries have convicted Ed of murdering his pregnant wife in 1983, but Ed continues to insist that the real killer is Allison Byrd, the law student who stalked him relentlessly and whose lies sent him to Death Row. Now Ed’s execution is set for March 3, 2017, the day before his son Wynne’s marriage to Claire Chastain.
Mckenzie Fitzgerald, a name partner in Hugh Mahoney’s San Diego law firm, learns of Ed’s impending execution on the day that she also learns she has been nominated to the United States Supreme Court. She has evidence of Ed’s innocence, but her career will be destroyed and she will lose the nomination if she reveals it. Determined to save her career, she stubbornly insists Ed is guilty.

Jeff Ryder steps in to protect Claire and agrees to help her find evidence that Allison killed Ed’s wife. But when Claire is kidnapped on her wedding day and Brendan has a heart attack, Jeff becomes responsible for saving Claire and Ed in the face of mounting evidence that Ed had both motive and opportunity to kill his wife.
Ford Atticus Ford, former host of the hit ghost-hunting reality show Graveyard: Classified, has more than a few regrets—especially after young Chelsea Hopper was attacked by a demon...on live television.

With Graveyard cancelled and his reputation destroyed, Ford sets out to avenge little Chelsea, and to save his own soul—if he can.
The first three books in the dark, haunting, dystopian Humanity Series have been brought together in one digital collection.
① The Warm Machine
Like 144,000 other men, the date Scott Beck will die is tattooed on his left palm.
Unlike 143,999 other men, his date is wrong. But to prove it, he must die.
When the first dates are shown to be accurate, many begin to question whether the deaths have been predicted, or are due to the intervention of an administrative religious organisation called the Watchers.
If Scott Beck does nothing, an AI powerful enough to predict the deaths of everyone on the planet will bring about the Rapture, and the end of humanity.
Combining dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and cyberpunk fiction, The Warm Machine is the first novel in the five-part Humanity Series, depicting a near-future in which humanity is on the brink of annihilation.
It’s not the end of the world … only humanity.
② The Dead Horizon
Some call it the Rapture. Others call it a global genocide. Whatever it was, only thousands of survivors remain on Earth.
When Scott Beck finds himself alive after the Rapture, along with only a few survivors, he retreats to the Lake District in the north of England. Soon after, he finds himself the reluctant guardian of a young woman and on the run from Mathew, a religious megalomaniac, and his Watchers, who are as determined as ever to send every human soul to heaven.
The AI, controlled by Mathew, informs Scott of a dead horizon, past which its view of the deterministic universe vanishes, meaning it can no longer see the future.
Scott, along with what remains of humanity, having lived with the paradox of knowing his own demise, must once again embrace freedom and take hold of the smallest offering of hope if he and humanity are going to survive.
③ The Violet Dawn
In a time of deceit, the truth is more important than ever. But the truth, with humanity on the verge of extinction, is a luxury Scott Beck cannot afford.
Eighteen years after the Rapture, there are only a few thousand survivors left on the planet, all living in Britain. Scott, along with his adopted daughter, Eve, have kept a small band of survivors safe from Mathew and a religious organisation called the Watchers, intent on sending every last soul to heaven.
But when Scott discovers dozens of dead bodies, recently killed by something called The Violet Dawn, he is confronted once again with the truth behind Eve’s violet eyes.
In possession of what remains of an AI that could either destroy or save humanity, Scott faces an impossible decision. If he is to help humanity survive, he must confront the darkness of human extinction.

Prisoner. Pupil. Puppet.
Which one am I? Maybe all three.
All I wanted was to keep my head down, avoid the fae nobles who sneer at my half-human blood, and spend time with the few friends who don’t care about my heritage.
Then the notorious Night Vipers killed one of those precious friends. I’m determined to make the assassins pay, but my plans for revenge backfired, and now I have a choice.
Trust Raven, the fae noble who wants something I’m not sure I can give, who has more magic in one feather of his midnight wings than I possess in my entire body, and who promised to help with my revenge.
Trust Ash, the steely-eyed master assassin who spared my life, who demanded I become his student in the art of death, and who seems to hate me even as he protects me.
Or confront the mysterious deadly being that lurks at the heart of the assassins’ power, the infamous Thief of Souls. We are all puppets dancing to its malevolent tune, but when the music stops, who will be left standing and whose strings will be cut forever?
