Then we're sure you're dying to get your hands on free and discounted ebooks in the Action and Adventure genre. You've come to the right place. All of our Action and Adventure authors that promote their ebooks want you to get their ebooks at the lowest price possible. Always free or discounted!
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).
A murder has been committed in Westwood. Joseph Marshall, a newly graduated NextGen operative is sent to investigate the only suspect - one of the last remaining Fallen. These super-soldiers, the preamble to the NextGen, have mostly died off. Not due to time mind you, but because they became violently insane and had to be stopped by the same government that created them.
Being NextGen is not easy, especially when your forebears became madmen. Society fears you. Your childhood is filled with lessons of math, english, history and learning how not the kill people you love by accident. Worst of all, every NextGen must serve in a massive concentration camp called Sectors.
The Sectors, created over 70 years ago, was created to keep the Northern Alliance's greatest enemy, the Keynosians, under thumb. Like the North, the Keynosians have super-soldiers called, Empowered. Capable of just as much violence and destruction as the NextGen, the Northern Alliance fears the possibility of another war with these powerful foes. So, intent on keeping them contained, Joseph is recruited to police one of the worse locations within this massive prison camp, Westwood.
With a Fallen partner and a murder investigation he must solve, Joseph has his hands full. The last thing he needs to do, is fall in love... with the enemy.
