Silent Warriors
Summary
The year is 1941. Shortly after the United States declares war on Japan in response to Pearl Harbor, Japan’s Tripartite Treaty allies, Germany and Italy, declare war on America. The United States finds itself in a two-theater war. President Franklin Roosevelt sets as America’s first priority the defeat of Nazi Germany, electing to wage a more-or-less holding war in the Pacific. In the beginning, the only force opposing the Japanese onslaught in the Pacific is the U.S. Submarine Service. Jake Lawler begins his war as executive officer aboard USS S-49, an aged S-class submarine, with orders to conduct unrestricted warfare against the enemy in the Pacific. When a freak mid-sea grounding causes the loss S-49, Jake assumes command of another boat, USS Orca, a new Gato-class submarine, under construction in Groton, CT. As Jake prepares a new boat and a freshly-assembled crew for war, the conflict in the Pacific is going badly for the Allies. This is the story of Captain Lawler’s eleven war patrols, including an ongoing conflict with Imperial Japanese Navy Captain Hiriake Ito of the destroyer Atsukaze. The crew of the Orca is made up of grizzled veterans and wet-behind-the-ears youngsters, all working together for a single purpose: to bring an implacable enemy to its knees. Along the way, friendships are forged, and love affairs and marriages are created - and destroyed. Pour yourself a favorite libation, grab a comfortable chair, and enjoy a tale that’s sure to hold your interest in Silent Warriors by Gene Masters.

Storyland
Summary
A terrifying psychological thriller Advanced listeners have called Storyland "a tale that grabs you from the start" and "a gripping thriller." When Ned wakes up one morning he finds that his childhood best friend Martin Brace has brutally murdered four people - in front of a child. It seems to have come out of nowhere, but for it to have happened in the same town where a young boy named Billy Marsterson vanished decades before, it seems like horrific bad luck. Ned heads home, to find answers, compelled to go because of memories that the story causes to surface and he cannot recall fully. What happened all of those years back when Billy vanished? What did it have to do with the role-playing game he and Martin played as a child called Storyland? Why can't he remember? As he begins to investigate his own mind, the walls start to come down and the terrifying truth of what happened all those years ago, and how it ties to the brutal murder of four people, begins to come together. What's real? Do you know? How can you tell what's reality and what's memory? And what horrifying truth lies within the realm of Storyland?

The Why of War: An Unorthodox Soldier's Memoirs
Summary
For me, Iraq didn't have many gunfights or arm bars. No pillage or rape. No elation for freed Iraqis or empathy when its dictator swung from a hangman's noose. I was angered by having had to go and wanted to crack the world open and pour out her rotten core. The Why of War chronicles 15 years of my US cavalry scout career. From introduction to conclusion, from stroke to mass shootings, this story is guaranteed to be seared into your memory. Now that the story has been written and has flowed to its truth, I realize it encompasses so much more than a question or a collection of memories. It serves as a bullhorn for other veterans to use to tell their stories. I am confident, I wasn't the only one asking why we invaded Iraq while I was there. Civilian listeners may gain a better understanding when thanking a veteran for their service. In many ways, the story serves as a reminder that no matter where we find ourselves, what condition to which we have fallen, we can be better. We owe that to our fallen soldiers. Welcome to my why of war.

Ghostly Acts
Summary
The world is ending...or so it seems for junior tennis champion Ele O’Neill. How can she face life in a Montana ghost town after Seattle? No tennis courts, no friends, and she’s stuck in a falling-down old theatre with a rotten little brother and parents who are acting like aliens. And something’s hiding in Ele’s room, watching her every move, but no one will listen to her.
Steven Douglas is a 19-year-old cowboy with one little problem - he’s been dead for over 150 years. He’s supposed to protect the weird O’Neill family from unimaginable evil lurking in the theatre, but the modern world of tight jeans and outspoken young ladies - namely tall, blonde Ele O’Neill - has his full attention.
Though he seems kind of old-fashioned, Ele soon learns her ghost boyfriend Steven will brave her parents and hell itself to save her - and he’ll have to!
