After too many drunken nights, and one live firefight with an invisible enemy in the center of Portland, Harold Bushong disappeared into the Oregon Coast Mountains. Now, two hundred years later, the Norwest Territory Federation is at war with the Fareasterners over timber rights, and Portland has fallen to the invaders. With alien DNA and futuristic technology on their side, the Fareasterners are a threat that the local populace can't handle on their own--good thing Colonel Bushong, along with the childhood friend he's reunited with, Captain William "Willy" Roberts Steinman IV, has returned. Can they help the people save not only the timber but their homes and their lives?Gabriel F. W. Koch used his own experiences in active-duty military and living in Oregon to write No Escaping the Storm. Fans of science fiction will love Koch's twist on the genre as a hyper-local issue explores universal themes.
Then comes the brutal announcement that his pregnant fiancée has committed suicide. Marlowe simply cannot accept the official verdict, and as anguish and rage replace the love he once felt, he is driven by a madness that forces him to question his own integrity while he hunts an elusive killer."Koch is an author who has his priorities in order. First and foremost he's constructed an intriguingly complex plot. From the beginning, he pulls readers in with intense scenes of suspense. Little by little he then provides just enough information to keep them guessing as to who's pulling the strings and why. When the loose ends are eventually tied and revelations ensue, Koch still manages to add a surprise or two." -Jake Bishop, Hollywood Book Review (And Come Day's End: A Michael McKaybees Mystery)"The contrast of what is right and what is wrong within Black's own conscience added even more to this mystery. Overall, I found Beholden: A Marlowe Black Mystery to be a five-star page turner!" -Michel Violante for Reader Views
Implicated in his best friend Lenny's death, Michael McKaybees finds himself entangled in a web woven by someone who wants him destroyed. And then Michael's father, Private Investigator Marlowe Black, shows up-after an absence of more than three decades. It turns out he, too, is a suspect in Lenny's death.And Come Day's End: A Michael McKaybees Mystery reunites two men who were estranged by choice and now must attempt together to avoid life in prison for a murder neither committed. From gambling and money laundering to revenge and murder, And Come Day's End offers thrilling twenty-first-century stakes, but author Gabriel F.W. Koch spends as much time on father/son conflict as he does the darkest of noir, twisting the plot into a series of choices that can lead to a lawful conclusion-or to McKaybees and Black themselves crossing into criminality.And Come Day's End is the 2019 Best Mystery winner of the Hollywood Book Awards contest.
In 2554, the World is Coming to its End, unless an impossible mission through 600 years of time travel succeeds. Maternal instinct knows no boundaries, including the nano-neural-net intravenously installed in Dannia Weston''s mind to repress her identity, allowing her to perform a mission 300 years before her time. Transported to the year 1954, Dannia becomes a woman with a mid-twentieth century persona, college educated with an aptitude for mechanical invention. Due to her work during the war, she is employed by the U.S. government on a secret project. But what no one knows-including Dannia or those who sent her back to tinker with the mechanical past to reduce future pollution-is what might happen should she become emotionally involved in 1954. The 2254 science team programmed the nano-net to prevent the possibility of pregnancy, but each person reacts to strong emotional stimuli differently, and using birth control not available in 1954 is out of the question. When Dannia falls in love with Peter Hersh and becomes pregnant, her hormones erode a small section of the nano-chained network that stabilizes her new identity, triggering a mild memory rebirth...and threatening her mission and the fate of the world.
