Unchained

In a struggle to escape his past, Rex Dalton is unleashed against those who prey on the innocent.

To stay alive, Dalton must live as though he’s dead, and fleeing to India with his military dog, Digger, is the ideal escape. Heading for Kapal Mochan, Dalton wants more than just refuge. He intends to dip his hand in the sacred spring, a powerful act of purification aimed at shedding his violent past once and for all.

But Dalton’s resolve is tested when a mysterious man reveals that his daughter is missing. Unable to turn away, he and Digger plunge into a perilous investigation that leads from an unscrupulous money lender in Mumbai to an illicit arms dealer in Saudi Arabia, and a shadowy criminal underworld of suffering, exploitation, and death.

As Dalton delves deeper, he discovers it’s not just the girl who is in peril. Countless others are caught in an unimaginable web of despair. But to help, he must first ensure his own survival, and that may be the greatest challenge of all.

Unchained is the pulse-pounding second installment in JC Ryan’s electrifying Rex Dalton K9 Thrillers series.

Invasion

Start the first book in the blockbuster Invasion series; the breakout sci-fi series with over 1000 5-star reviews.

THEY ARE COMING. THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN…

The discovery of objects approaching from Jupiter’s orbit sets humanity on edge, sending cities into panic. Most is unknown, but thanks to the popular Astral space app, everyone knows the few facts the government has tried to hide:

The objects are enormous spheres numbering in the dozens, maybe hundreds. They are on an approach vector toward Earth … and they will arrive in six days.

Entrepreneur Meyer Dempsey is in New York, realizing the time has come to act on all the preparations he’s made without ever consciously knowing why. For years Meyer has been preoccupied by a dreamlike sense of coming peril and knows where he must take his family … if, that is, they can make it before society eats itself alive with fear.

The end is only beginning …

????? “This is a real page-turner. The action is fast paced, with lots of twists and turns. It’s very hard to put down, and I’m pretty much exhausted from staying up every night until the wee hours of the morning.” — DBStevens

????? “I stayed up late Christmas Eve reading this book; I finished it Christmas morning. I hadn’t planned on doing that. It just sort of happened. Why? The reason’s simple: I couldn’t put it down.” — Terrance A. Crow

????? “Invasion fully deserves its five stars for its thoughtful and grounded portrayal of life and love under duress. The authors integrated a great deal of prepper culture into the story, and every detail was carefully considered.” — Steven Pratt

????? “This is clearly the beginning of a huge series, and should be read as such…if you don’t have the patience to watch a complex tapestry of events unfold over several books, you probably don’t want to start this story. If, on the other hand, you LOVE big scifi stories with multiple threads and more than one mystery…you’ll love Invasion.” — B. Johnson

????? “The tension and suspense is top-notch and kept me reading far into the night. These guys know how to write a thriller, I’m telling you. This is probably the best thriller I’ve read all year. I would pick this book over anything written by Stephen King or Dean Koontz, no question.” — Mark Messick

This relentless, page-turning tale of first contact is the first book in the Alien Invasion completed series.

An Invitation To Murder

Lady Katherine only has one week to catch the Pink-Ribbon Killer. Not only to stop the killing, but also to prove her skills at detection to her father and win her dowry and independence.

There’s only one catch—she has to take one last matchmaking job to do it. Never mind that the match is impossible—all the better because if she fails, then no one will seek her services again. The job provides the perfect cover, especially when her peculiar investigatory techniques are mistaken for unconventional matchmaking attempts.

Things would go a lot smoother if she weren’t knee-deep in suspects and thwarted at every turn by a rival matchmaker. But when the killer strikes again, Katherine’s investigation leads down a dangerous path. Too late, she discovers that she has a lot more to lose than her dowry.
