Decembers book club pick! "Thirteen" by Steve Cava

Decembers book club pick!
"Thirteen" by Steve Cavanagh

We are really excited to read this , as it has been on some of our TBR and recommended by our regulars.

It’s the murder trial of the century. And Joshua Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house – and to be sure the wrong man goes down for the crime. Because this time, the killer isn’t on trial. He’s on the jury.

But there’s someone on his tail. Former-conman-turned-criminal-defense-attorney Eddie Flynn doesn’t believe that his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects that the real killer is closer than they think – but who would guess just how close?

Join us this Saturday at 1pm and help welcome authors @cinevorefilm and @laurencipollo , who will be here with their epic sci-fi series "Parallax"

A conspiracy threatens everyone in the colonized worlds. Only they can stop it.

#theopenbook #theopenbooktopanga #mattconant #laurencipollo #parallax #parallaxseries #sciencefiction #sciencefictionbooks #origin #adaptation #evolution #scifi #scifibooks #bookseries #supportindieauthors #authorsofinsta #authorsofinstagram

In a distant future where advancements in cybernetics and gene-splicing have resulted in a dozen different variants of humanity, three individuals find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that could doom everyone in the colonized worlds.

Paige Angstrom, a fierce and loyal Peacekeeper, yearns to shield her sister Volara from a life of corporate-indentured servitude.

Hemlocke Shaw, a gene-spliced engineer, tirelessly searches for his missing eco-activist wife.

And Emrald Re, a no-nonsense bounty hunter, embarks on a mission to find a vanished wastelander named Lewis DuCane.

Amidst deadly power outages, vanishing civilians, and stalled terraforming projects, the trio unearths a cover-up of epic proportions. The revelation sends shockwaves through their lives, forcing them to confront their own identities and become unlikely heroes in the struggle against the very architects of the Terran race.
