The Tin Men by Alex DeMille and Nelson DeMille
This new storybook in English is an intensely frightening glimpse into the future of warfare. The story is disquieting, high-stakes, and vivid, challenging your thoughts on AI and robot applications in the military.
Nelson DeMille offers one final, thought-provoking novel with his son, Alex DeMille. Released posthumously, this is a military thriller inside a psychological thriller. Suspenseful and filled with tension, it’s also packed with unanswered questions and misdirections. The characters are fully fleshed out, testing your views on morality and moving at a breakneck pace. It will also have you exercising your brain and hoping governments aren’t actually raising an army of killer robots. For all the lovers of such a genre, this book will keep you guessing until the end!
Blood for the Undying Throne by Sung-il Kim
Sequel to Blood of the Old Kings and the second instalment of the Bleeding Empire series, this book needs to be on the shelf of every fantasy fiction fan!
Just like the first book in the series, the second book takes on the larger-than-life tropes of 90s fantasy books. There’s a keen refusal to get bogged down when grim things happen. The details are hyper-realistic, and the reflections on the nature of evil and empire are contemporary. The world in the second book gets much bigger, perfectly escalating all the threats and themes explored in the first one. In conclusion, if you want to immerse yourself in a world that’s dark, threatening, and reflective without losing hope, this book is for you.
Mirror by Nora Roberts
Romance, mystery, supernatural elements–this book has them all! Part of the Lost Brides trilogy, Nora Roberts is back with Mirrors after Inheritance.
Sonya MacTavish’s life takes a dramatic turn when she inherits a mysterious Victorian mansion. On the rugged coast of Maine, this mansion is rumoured to be haunted by the spirits of seven brides who met tragic ends. As Sonya settles into her new home, she’s enveloped by an eerie atmosphere, marked by unexplained occurrences, like ghostly melodies and midnight footsteps. Amidst the unfolding paranormal drama, a palpable chemistry simmers between Sonya and Trey, adding a layer of romance to this gripping tale.
The final instalment will let us know if Sonya manages to break the cycle of horrific deaths. Until then, the first two books will surely keep you on the edge. You can also find both instalments on the best websites to buy books online in India, like Oxford Bookstore. However, the second book is still in the pre-order list, so you might have to wait just a little bit longer.
The Black Wolf by Louise Penny
If you’re a fan of Louise Penny’s beloved Inspector Gamache, you will be delighted with his twentieth outing.
A far cry from the gentle puzzles most Penny’s readers are accustomed to, The Black Wolf isn’t just about dismantling a terror plot. This thriller is almost prophetic, unravelling how conspiracies work, and how apathetic people can be about it.
Gamache is still recovering from the injuries he sustained in The Grey Wolf. He has retreated to a quiet refuge. While he heals, he knows something far worse is hiding in the shadows. And despite his best efforts, peace is elusive, forcing him to start digging anew. So, if you have read The Grey Wolf, you need to read The Black Wolf to know how the famed investigator solves this convoluted puzzle.
