The First
The First A. Claire Everward
Find Her.
Is the ancient directive that has once again reawakened in the hearts of
those who hide.
Kill Her!
Is the frantic command of those who fear their rise.
Aelia returns from a vacation that did not go quite as she expected, to a
life she does not feel at home in but that is, at least, hers. Or so she thinks. Within days of returning she is targeted by a hitman and she has no idea why.
But then neither does he. All Kyle Rhys knows is that to protect humanity,
this woman must die. At least, he thinks, killing her will be easy. After all,
the organization that has raised him has prepared him for her death
his entire life. So why can’t he kill her?
In an impossible turn of events, both killer and target find themselves
on the run from those who would stop at nothing to destroy them.

Oracle's Hunt
Oracle's Hunt A. Claire Everward
A security-critical facility is destroyed to get to it and it is called Oracle.
That's all USFID investigator Donovan Pierce knows. And while he is told
to find whoever perpetrated the deadly attack, and find them fast, he is
also warned not to look for Oracle itself.
Lara Holsworth never expected Oracle to be in any danger. She would like nothing more than to keep it secret and Pierce away from it--and from her, but hiding is no longer an option.
With those who now know too much more determined than ever to destroy Oracle, will its protectors' cooperation be enough to keep it safe?

Watcher's Web
Watcher's Web Patty Jansen
She is lost on an alien planet. He said he'd help her get home. He lied.
Jessica's plane develops engine trouble over the dry Australian inland—and crashes in thick, unfamiliar rainforest.
A group she thinks is a search party shows up, but it consists of large-eyed not-quite people who kill all survivors except Jessica and a long-haired hippie named Brian.
No one is going to come to rescue her. In fact, they're not even on Earth.
While the pair wrestle their way through the forest in search for help, Jessica becomes ever more suspicious of Brian. Why does he know so much about the world where they have ended up? Why is he so insistent on helping her?

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!
