Debut book offers an unforgettable desert journey and a gripping tale of captivity that will mesmerize readers from beginning to the end

VANCOUVER — October 23, 2024. Sattva Publishing Inc. today announced the release of Into the Unknown, an international thriller by Hai Van Le. The book tells a gripping story of two people — a Canadian geologist and the spouse of an expat explorer — held hostage by different Islamic fundamentalist groups in the remote reaches of Mali.

As one character in the book states, “In this age of mass tourism, people travel all over the world. The flip side of cheap travel is that at any given time, a number of them will find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time because they’re either naïve, careless, or outright reckless in ignoring the government’s travel advisory.”

“We’ve all been in challenging situations, very difficult circumstances,” says Hai Van Le, who has spent the last two decades exploring sacred texts from diverse spiritual traditions around the world, “but take heart, there’s hope. Help is there when you least expect it.”

Set in one of the harshest environments imaginable, Into the Unknown is a fast-paced tale of adventure filled with suspense and rich cultural elements. Interwoven among the stories are timeless truths that shine a light on the true nature of death, challenging the common beliefs held in the West; why the world is a stage and everyone plays a role in the theater of life; and the essence of love — the most powerful force in the universe. And much more.

One reviewer at Library Thing wrote, “Very enjoyable reading. Love the way the author lays out the story line, by developing the characters in a story within a story. Ready to read the next installment of this series. I recommend to anyone who enjoys reading a well-written thriller.” KIRKUS REVIEWS said “Memorable characters headline this absorbing… international thriller.”

Recent release “Walk Away” from Page Publishing author Paul Rekers is a chilling admonition about escaping grief and dealing with the skeletons in one’s closet. Grappling with guilt, Richard Hancock is presented with the opportunity for a new start. Should he take it?

Paul Rekers, a retired insurance broker and marathon runner with a newfound passion for writing, has completed his new book “Walk Away”: a gripping novel full of twists and turns that serves as a warning against running from guilt instead of facing it head-on.

“Memories of traumatic events can be very powerful and dangerous,” writes author Paul Rekers. “Like a permanent scar, they don’t ever go away. The best thing you can do is to try and file them away somewhere in the depths of your memory bank and hope they don’t pop up very often. When they do surface, you must wrestle with them and somehow try to get them back in the archives. You can’t just push Delete.”

Published by Page Publishing, Paul Rekers’s compelling tale tells the story of Richard Hancock, a banker and beloved husband who seems to have it all. However, Richard’s past is coming to haunt him. At age five, he was blamed by his mother Judith for the death of his younger brother. Now an adult, Richard is hounded by guilt and struggles to keep up his put-together image. When a family vacation to Puerto Rico presents itself, Richard knows that this is his chance to get away from it all. What can he do?

While lying on a beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the idea for “Walk Away” suddenly struck Rekers. “It just came to me,” he says. “It wouldn’t go away.” Inspired to write his first novel, Paul Rekers presents readers with a consuming and cautionary tale about avoiding one’s dark past.

Readers who wish to experience this thrilling work can purchase “Walk Away” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release “Zombie Dogs” from Page Publishing author J. A. Owen shares the story of a fight for survival from nightmarish transformations that take place at a desolate, isolated state park in the middle of nowhere.

J. A. Owen has completed his new book “Zombie Dogs”: a gripping and potent story that introduces Dave and Nancy, who, in a dark, dingy motel room, are getting ready to rob the First National Bank. Members of the infamous Black Widows Motorcycle Gang are preparing for their two-week Ride-a-Thon camping trip. A family is quickly packing their RV for a two-week camping vacation. Then at the same time, a top-secret Military Base is suddenly on Red Alert! Code Red! Due to an incoming solar disturbance: a deadly meteorite storm. Then, in the darkness of the military base, two Red Eyes turn on. Now, the M-5 Search and Destroy Robot has now been activated.

Author J. A. Owen writes, “The dogs are mean, vicious and ravenous. I started running as fast as I could. I was running and running from the voracious animals that have lost their minds. The only thing that keeps these monsters going is their biological desire to feast on raw flesh. The only meat that seems to quench their ravenous hunger is the meat from the brains of their victims. I hid behind a tree as they found their next victim. The large dogs started ripping and tearing the flesh off the bones of their victim.”

He continues, “Hank woke up from a dream, more like a bad nightmare. Hank is the leader and president of the dreaded Black Widows Motorcycle gang. He lives with his wife and his two boys, Jared who is seventeen years old and John who is ten years old. Hank is a tall guy. He got up and took a shower, and got dressed and headed downstairs for some coffee. Hank let out Spike, his dog, to go pee. On the way downstairs, Hank left a message on Jared’s chalkboard, which was attached to the door. The funny thing was that Jared put the chalk on a latex hand he made. It was a cut-off hand-holding chalk. The end of the hand was cut off at the forearm. It had two bloody bones sticking out of the end of the forearm. It even grossed Hank out a little.”

Published by Page Publishing, J. A. Owen’s terrifying tale, complete with original illustrations, invites readers to discover how this nightmare unfolds.

Readers who wish to experience this imaginative work can purchase “Zombie Dogs” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Xulon Press presents action-packed follow-up to the exciting first book in the Christian suspense series.

MAITLAND, FL—Author David Porter tells the story of four strangers with four paths and one explosive outcome in Sixty Seconds of Silence ($19.99, paperback, 9781662857782; $35.99, dust jacket, 9781662857799; $9.99, e-book, 9781662857805).

David Porter treats readers of his first thrilling book with the exciting continuation of the Matt Davenport chronicles. This Christian suspense story picks up with Matt recovering from injuries sustained while stopping a terrorist attack a year prior. While Matt could have gone anywhere in the world and received a hero’s welcome, he accompanies his wife, Jessica, who accepted a new role as the dig leader of an archaeological site in Jerusalem. This was no routine job offer and not a normal archaeological site. This was the home of a deadly assassin with a secret to hide. Before Matt and Jessica know what they have stumbled into, Matt is buried, both figuratively and literally, in the middle of something apocalyptic. Trapped in caves deep underground with no way out, Matt must rely on God’s voice to survive. As Matt allows the still, small voice to guide him to safety, he encounters something even more incredible – the discovery of a lifetime that may be the catalyst for the End Times.

When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Porter said, “So many people in the world are lost and hopeless with a distorted view of Christianity. Jesus is the only true answer for the world. I wanted to write a book that points people to the life changing power of Jesus and His Word. The message is packaged in the form of a novel but paints a picture of how Jesus relates to us today and how we can live as Christians in this world, with all the benefits and blessings that are included with our salvation.”

David Porter and his wife, Lauren, currently reside in Birmingham, Alabama.

He holds an undergraduate degree and three Bible school degrees including a Master of Theology. Porter is a successful entrepreneur and keynote speaker with a passion for writing suspense novels in the light of current events. With his attention to detail and ability to make even the most complex concepts simple, his other novel, “Five Minutes to Live” and his non-fiction investment book, “Juror Number One and the Alternate Retirement Plan,” are consistently featured on best seller lists. Porter played basketball in college where he was an Academic All-American. He enjoys playing the piano and traveling.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. Sixty Seconds of Silence is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

In this novel, an ex-Army pilot finds himself turned into a trained assassin set to alter American political history

From the author of “Who Shot the Man in the Black Coat?” comes another novel that combines technology, action, drama, sex, love and suspense.

Steven Stewart’s “To Kill a Public Crook” (published by Archway Publishing) tells the story of a wounded army combat pilot, Charley Dakota, who has been reprogrammed by doctors at the VA hospital for his new role as a “classified programmable soldier (cps), code name, Viper. When activated, the microchip in his brain enables the “assignment” to his next mission — to exterminate another public crook. This time, a bad senator.

Meanwhile, detectives Scott Blade and his fiancée Coraline Steele, together with FBI special agent Tomaso Girardi, head a task force to understand how the assassin kills without a trace. They discover the weapon to be a flying gun platform, a drone. Now they must follow the drone home, back to the dark space that conceals the Viper.

“To Kill a Public Crook” is an intriguing thriller that highlights conflicts in today’s divided political system and the intellectual gap between the voters and reality. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, the author says, “To think about changing the political system using the ballot box. Our founding fathers gave us a way to protect our constitution. Our law gives the citizens the right to remove unwanted politicians with a simple majority vote. On the dark side, the scenario in this story could easily become a recipe to remove undesirables by force.”
