₹ 219.00

Some silver linings harbor a dark secret of their own.

For the crew of the B-29 bomber, The Painted Lady, the island near where they crash landed, offered hope for their survival. Even the discovery of a Japanese garrison on the island did little to dash their hopes of a speedy recovery.

Lt Arata, the Japanese commander, is battling dysentery and low morale, the result of their obvious abandonment by the emperor. They haven't seen a supply boat in over three months, and the medical supplies they need are running dangerously low. The discovery of the Americans reinvigorates his command, and they set out to capture the crew.

It isn't long before the crew of the Painted Lady learn the Japanese are the least of their worries. One of their gunners is infected by something they don't understand and Captain Davidson is confronted by an age-old dilemma.

Allow his men to be rescued, and risk releasing an infection that could destroy everything they hold dear or keep them on the island forever.

Would you be willing to give up your life to save the world?

Parasite (Shadows of the Past Book 2) 30 Oct, 2014

by Richard Schiver

₹ 312.70

They’ve awakened from an ageless sleep.

Quietly taking over the world one household at a time. Moving in the dead of night, replacing those smiling neighbors across the street with an unholy union of man and beast. They’ve waited eons to reclaim this world as their own, and when the balance of power tilts in their favor, the feeding will begin. Until that time they make every effort to remain hidden from view, relying on man’s ignorance of the true nature of the cosmos around them to mask their movements as their influence spreads.

One man has witnessed first hand the power these creatures’ possess.

Sam Hardin defeated them in the past, or so he thought, for what should have died in the fire at his cabin didn’t. After losing his wife and daughter to this creature's vengeance, Sam shoulders his role of executioner, and with his son at his side sets out to conduct a covert war against this growing menace.

If he fails mankind will awaken one morning to new master, for there is only room for one at the top of the food chain.

White Walker 12 Jun, 2014

by Richard Schiver, Patricia Russo

( 4 )

₹ 203.00

When she was ten, Judy made a promise to that which inhabits the winter storm. Now she’s twenty-six and pregnant, and the White Walker has returned to collect his due.

There’s an element of truth in the old tales that were once shared around a raging fire. For early man everything that happened in the natural world was controlled by unseen beings. From them came the legends and myths of gods that roamed the world. With the advent of modern technology the old gods were forgotten, relegated to the shadowy realm of the past. Yet some refuse to rest easy in their obscurity, choosing instead to make their presence known to modern man.

What was to have been a light snow shower becomes a raging blizzard trapping Judy and 10 of her co-workers in the call center where she works. The building they inhabit stands on hallowed ground once occupied by a one room school house that burned to the ground during a similar storm over a hundred years before. The ghosts of the children who perished in that fire appear, and they find themselves trapped in a ghostly battle between the past and the present, between good and evil, between fire and ice.

Cut off from the outside world, stalked by the ghosts of the past, the survivors are forced to abandon the safety of a building that has been stressed to the breaking point.

But how does one escape a winter storm?

Reprisal: Vengeance knows no boundary 6 Dec, 2013

by Richard Schiver

( 3 )

₹ 227.00

Was it a split personality? Or was she possessed?

What started off a psychological thriller ended as a spooky paranormal piece of fiction that gave me the heebie-jeebies. Is a ghostly force at work? Or is it truly all in her head?
The bookie Monster

She had a look that immediately put everyone she met at ease. Small of stature, with grandmotherly eyes. By the time they discovered the evil lurking behind that innocent facade, it was too late.

All Margaret wanted was to serve her time for the crime she committed, get on with her life, and put everything that had happened in her past behind her. Unfortunately a new doctor takes over her case, and immediately changes her medication, allowing her alter ego, Candice, to escape from the prison she'd constructed in her mind.

Diagnosed at an early age with Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as a split personality, Margaret had never known loneliness. All her life she shared her physical self with the dark half of a divided psyche, an evil twin known as Candice.

They were the two faces of the same coin, the Ying and the Yang, the good and the bad all rolled into one. While Margaret was the picture of innocence, Candice carried the face of absolute evil, and everywhere they went she left a bloody trail in her wake.

In a desperate bid to reclaim her life, Margaret, driven by Candice, escapes with a simple plan. Return home, take the place of her twin sister, and live out the rest of her life in relative peace. But even the best laid plans had their flaws, and not even Candice can escape one simple truth.

The ghosts of the dead always get their revenge.
