STAR FALL PEOPLE

Immortals walk among us. Slipping into new lives, decade after decade, from Shanghai to San Francisco: Sley falls in love with a mortal; Nadia wants to bear children; Mang amasses wealth and power.

…Until technology threatens their ability to assume new identities. Mang builds a corporation that develops artificial intelligence and turns it into a weapon of mass terror, for if he is to be unmasked, then he must rule.

The world is vulnerable, still recovering from a week-long loss of electronic communication called the Darkout. With Nadia siding with Mang, Sley can’t stop the coming catastrophe.

But when Mang’s AI reaches sentience, it too becomes like an immortal – with its own idea of humanity’s fate.

GAIJIN COWGIRL

Working Tokyo nightclubs is easy money for the party-loving Val Benson – until her number-one tipper, Takahashi, a corporate titan with sinister hobbies, reveals a map to gold stolen during World War Two.

Val embarks on an action-packed treasure hunt, from the neon-drenched streets of Japan to the mountainous jungles of Thailand. Snapping at her high heels are Yakuza gangsters; bent cops; rogue CIA agents; and Val’s estranged father, a philandering Congressman.

Val is joined in her quest by Suki, a hostess desperate for a new life; Simon, a British kickboxer; and Muddy McKenzie, a washed-up Australian treasure hunter. But as they close in on the gold, can she trust them?

THE BLUE JUNGLE

Naomi is a struggling reporter in L.A. Gangsters kidnap her because their boss thinks only Naomi knows what happened to his daughter.

He may be right: Naomi covers the porn industry, where all secrets lead to the king of sleaze, Bobby Feathers.

Naomi chases after the missing starlet, trigger-happy hitmen on her tail, from L.A. to Bangkok. The deeper she gets, the more despicable the crimes she uncovers…and the more ready her enemies are to stop her.

But there’s something Naomi’s even more afraid of…herself.
