As always, click the cover for the Amazon link!

The blurb-

Nash and Nate have finished the task set before them by their hataali, and have set their foot on the path to healing. Neither one knows what to expect however, and Nash does have a few concerns about their future. But those will have to wait, as the tribal council has more important things for them to do when they get back to Vegas: dealing with a bunch of organ-jackers who have been preying on the young women of several of the local tribes.

Then of course there's still the problem Nate's been having with the good folks of Raycon Corporation, who really want a look inside his head. After having removed it from his body of course. Having been gone for almost a month, he's hoping they've moved on, but only time will tell. Nate's also a little worried that Jin may have moved on, so he's very much looking forward to see her as soon as they get back to town.

Then of course there's Coyote, the trickster god who has very much taken an interest in Nate and Nash, as well as this little problem with the organ-jackers, which promises to make all of the outcomes very interesting.

Next up is Peter Nealan with the second book in his new Edge of the Imperium series- Cascade Effect

The blurb-

The Flames of War Spread

Even as the clash on distant, desolate Zhogalgan winds down, the spark it has ignited now threatens to set entire star systems aflame.

Now Corvanite Lieutenant Ulric Bannon leads his special tasks phalanx on a deep reconnaissance on an alien world to discover Zolarian plans… while elsewhere, on an airless moon, Zolarian First Sergeant Cul Draven faces savage war against a Corvanite client-state that has launched an offensive in the wake of the Zhogalgan confrontation.

Corvan and Zolah. Two great powers hurtling toward war…

… but the real enemy may be the mysterious alien operatives manipulating the conflict from the shadows.

Last but certainly not least, this is a bit of a different book recommendation. Jack Carr and James Scott's military history of the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut- Targeted Beirut

The blurb-

The first in a new in-depth nonfiction series examining the devastating terrorist attacks that changed the course of history from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr and Pulitzer Prize finalist James M. Scott, beginning with the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut.

1983: the United States Marine Corps experiences its greatest single-day loss of life since the Battle of Iwo Jima when a truck packed with explosives crashes into their headquarters and barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. This horrifying terrorist attack, which killed 241 servicemen, continues to influence US foreign policy and haunts the Marine Corps to this day.

Now, the full story is revealed as never before by Jack Carr and historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist James M. Scott. Based on comprehensive interviews with survivors, extensive military records, as well as personal letters, diaries, and photographs, this is the authoritative account of the deadly attack. 

This book actually drops today, but it is highly recommended. I've read a couple of the snippets and they dug deeply on this one.
