Loki and the Frost Giant
Loki and the Frost Giant Charles N Palmer
Odin volunteers Loki to assist a mountain village plagued by creatures out of Jotunheim.
Not a challenging assignment until Loki realises that the cause of the trouble is the Frost Giant, Vetar.
And now Loki has a problem, because Vetar's father is Skrymir, Lord of Jotunheim. Loki has long had one foot in Asgard and the other in Jotunheim and has always avoided declaring allegiance.
Worse still, a stranger turns up, and he certainly isn't the lost traveller he claims to be.
And for fans of Norse mythology, Hela, Fenrir and Thor also appear in the story.
This is a complete story.

Her mission was to investigate a series of murders involving some well-known lawyers in the City. Her target, an elusive hired killer who had been of interest to the police for months.
But her plan is doomed to fall apart before it even starts.
In less than twenty-four hours Amelia will be the prey in a man hunt and her destiny will become entwined with Mike Connor’s.

One day to survive. One day to let go of the past.

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.
