Reaper – a Task Force Raven Thriller by Sam Stone

Reaper – a Task Force Raven Thriller by Sam Stone

REAPER – A Task Force Raven Thriller
In the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack on a U.S. Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, Major Jake Baylor faces his most personal mission yet. When a VBIED explosion and mortar attack kills dozens, including his best friend Clint McNamara, Baylor and his elite Task Force Raven spring into action.

What appears to be a brutal cartel assault is actually something far more sinister—a coordinated diversion allowing ISIS operative Abu Waleed Hassan, known as “The Reaper,” and his team of jihadists to slip across the border undetected. As Baylor and his team of Texas Rangers with special operations backgrounds race to track down the terrorists, they find themselves operating in the shadows of bureaucracy, caught between political agendas and the urgent need to prevent another attack.

From interrogating a high-level cartel operative in a remote Texas ranch to conducting off-the-books operations in Mexico, Task Force Raven follows the trail of breadcrumbs leading to Hassan’s deadly plot. When suicide bombers strike San Antonio’s Riverwalk, killing hundreds, the clock starts ticking on an even more catastrophic attack aimed at Houston’s petrochemical infrastructure.

In this high-stakes thriller that blends military action with law enforcement tactics, Baylor must confront not only the external threat but also his own grief and rage. As federal agencies squabble over jurisdictional authority and media narratives, Task Force Raven operates with a simple directive from Texas Governor Robert Williamson: “Find them, and make sure they can never hit us again.”

With time running out and lives on the line, Baylor will need every skill he’s honed from years with both the Texas Rangers and Special Forces to bring the terrorists to justice—or stop them permanently.

The Ignoble Lie (Of Gods & Men: Book I) by Matthew Peters

The Ignoble Lie (Of Gods & Men: Book I) by Matthew Peters

What if the Ark of the Covenant isn’t a reference to the chest containing the Ten Commandments God revealed to Moses atop Mount Sinai?

What if it refers to the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh whose contents would revolutionize religious history?

As ex-Jesuit Scott Larson and adventuress Zady Jones learn, such a discovery can be deadly.

A terrorist attack on the Great Pyramid of Giza ratchets up the tension in Washington, D.C., where President John Jenkins has been impeached for an order declaring the U.S. a Judeo-Christian nation. The terrorists threaten more attacks in Egypt and the U.S. unless their demand is met—and it’s something only Larson and Jones can give them. When the efforts to meet the terrorists’ demand goes awry and Zady’s sister is kidnapped, Larson and Jones race to save her. Along the way, they receive a series of mysterious clues that point to the existence of a shocking historical secret, one that could not only topple Jenkins’ presidency but upend Judeo-Christianity.

For generations, the legend of the Demon Cat has haunted the people of San Tierra — a spectral feline with eyes like fire and a scream that paralyzes the soul.

But this is no ordinary creature. Born of ancient rituals and fed by human fear, it is a manifestation of vengeance — and it’s hunting someone who cheated death long ago. As Elias unravels the dark secrets behind the last summoning, he realizes the demon has unfinished business… and only one target remains.
With time running out, Elias must confront his forgotten sins, face the horror he once helped bury, and stop the Demon Cat before it makes its last kill.

Black Yéʼii (The Evil One) by Joseph Lewis

Black Yéʼii (The Evil One) by Joseph Lewis

A 2025 Maxy Award Finalist for Thriller and Suspense.
“On one side, unconditional familial love supported by the camaraderie of law enforcement. On the other? Guns, drugs, and hatred. Black Ye’ii stages an epic battle between good and evil.” –Cam Torrens, award-winning author of the Tyler Zahn thriller series.
“Black Yéʼii: (The Evil One), by Joseph Lewis, is a police procedural thriller. Within the first minute of reading this story, it captures you with a brutal double murder that sets the pace for the entire novel. Blood thirsty revenge would be a charitable term, because when members of the MS-13 gang come back to town to avenge the deaths of four of their members, they are merciless killers. As police and detectives investigate the double murders, they start to connect the dots, and it becomes clear that the target of this revenge killing is a group of young men, one in particular, who apparently holds the secret to what happened on that night when four gang members were killed. We follow law enforcement, as they Sherlock the trail of blood, one that eventually culminates in a face-off. A cold-blooded thriller that will keep you reading to the end.” – Real’ Laplaine, Reviewer.

The secret of how four members of MS-13 died was supposed to keep them safe. That is, if no one spoke of it. But someone did, and now people are dying.

The police fabricated a story about the night four members of MS-13 died in a tiny home on a quiet city street almost two years previous. George Tokay and his friends were not supposed to share the secret about what really happened that night. No one was to know the truth. But someone talked, and now MS-13, ruthless and wanting revenge, is back in town, and people are dying.

Can Detectives Graff, O’Connor, and Eiselmann find the killers and put a stop to the killing before anyone else dies?
