I told everyone I was going to be adventurous and read a horror novel, and I have picked one out, but I have GOT to read “The Toad King” listed below. The book overview describes aliens that faint at the thought of battle. Who can resist that? I just picture a bunch of goofy aliens with short legs and long necks (remembering E.T.) getting into all sorts of mad-cap situations. I know it’s not out of my comfort zone, which was my original plan, because I love science fiction, but I usually don’t read military books so that’s new for me. Plus I’m a chicken and I don’t feel like being kept up all night wondering what is under my bed, but convinced it wants to eat me. I don’t know how you horror lovers sleep at night.

My name is Ember Blaylock. Welcome to the World of Weird, better known as my life.

It wasn’t always like this. I was once a normal high school senior, just filling out college apps and trying to stay sane long enough to get out of Moonlight, Missouri. Preferably before I ended up in a straight-jacket out of sheer boredom.

At first, my only problems were my increasingly unwanted ability to see the dead and my desperation to remove the stalker known as my ex-boyfriend from my life. Somewhere along the line I must have pissed off the Bad Karma Fairy. Maybe I stepped on the wrong toadstool or peed in Loki’s personal swimming pool, I really don’t know. All I do know is I’m about to have the worst week of my life. Maybe the worst week of any teenager’s life. Ever.

All because of a dead guy.

From the second pale, too-hot-to-be-real Nathan Ashley stepped out of the wreckage of his mangled sports car, my life spiraled into complete and utter chaos. One minute, I’m quasi-normal, the next I’m being kidnapped by a vampire, I’m having weird, creepy powers sprout up out of nowhere, and I’m running from a demon who wants to get more familiar with my anatomy…or kill me. Again. Yeah, did I mention he’s done it before?

Anybody know if those straight-jackets come in pink?

Rebellion: The Complete Series
Gordon Ryan
4.3 Out of 5 Stars (18 Reviews)
Genre: Political | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

FREE for a limited time

THE REBELLION TRILOGY contains three full length novels, nearly 1,000 pages in printed form, over 300,000 words (15,550 Kindle locations.) Each novel is also available individually.

STATE OF REBELLION: “Had the gallows knot been placed to the side, behind the ear, Richard McFarland’s neck would have snapped, delivering a swift death. As it was, the young California National Guard lieutenant twisted and convulsed for a long, agonizing two minutes before he died.”

California is on the brink of secession, and those who oppose this drastic political maneuver are turning up dead. Federal Agent Nicole Bentley is sent to discover what she can about the movement and meets up with Assemblyman and National Guard JAG officer Daniel Rawlings, a man whose commitment to his country runs deep in his blood. Resisting their mutual attraction, they uncover a plot devised by greedy men bent on taking power at any cost. As Colonel Pug Connor, working under the direction of the President of the United States, seeks to root out the leaders of the Western Patriot Movement–a military cadre with a chip on its shoulder, Nicole and Dan find themselves literally in the crossfire. Can they end the dispute between the various factions before they all end up martyrs for the cause?

UNCIVIL LIBERTIES: Moments after taking office, United States president Clay Cumberland faces a decision no one should have to make, and a civilian airliner is shot down to protect the American people from a new wave of domestic terrorism. Fearing the loss of countless more lives, Colonel Pug Connor plunges into the fray, determined to root out the terrorists and bring peace back to the country he loves and has sworn to defend. He finds a welcome ally, and a personal interest, in Senator Rachel McKenzie, a woman who feels the call to patriotism just as strongly. But when the terrorists are Americans themselves, determined to bring the nation into subjugation, Pug faces his biggest challenge of all, with stakes higher than ever.

TO FAITHFULLY EXECUTE: Election Day is looming, and the fate of a united America lies in the hands of its citizens. States are threatening to secede, politicians have their own agendas, and as rumors of treason rumble throughout the land, Pug Connor has a decision to make. He can continue to serve the country he loves and watch it break apart, or he can take matters into his own hands and change the course of history. He hates the man he is forced to become, but with stakes this high, he forges on, regardless the cost. His growing love for Senator Rachel McKenzie, and his fear regarding the possible loss of her respect, make his decisions much harder.

Pug’s deputy director, Carlos Castro, faces no such conflict. He fully understands his nature: he is a stone-cold, instinctive killer, single-handedly seeking to rid the world of evil one terrorist at a time.

To Faithfully Execute questions the right of the government to interfere in the lives of citizens and asks, what would you do to preserve your freedom when it’s threatened? The answer will surprise you as Gordon Ryan presents the third installment in the Pug Connor series.
