The War Beneath
A Global Thriller Award–winning novel: “Fast-paced, good old-fashioned Cold War espionage set underwater in 2099, this book offers a great escape!” (The Minerva Reader). Living underwater is inherently dangerous. At any moment, a trickle of water from the bulkheads could mean immanent death. But Truman “Mac” McClusky is used to danger. He’s been out of the intelligence business for years, working the kelp farms and helping his city Trieste flourish on the shallow continental shelf just off the coast of Florida. Then his former partner shows up, steals a piece of valuable new technology and makes a mad dash into the Atlantic. Before he knows it, Mac is back in the game, chasing the spy to retrieve the tech—and teach his former friend a lesson he won’t forget. But when Mac learns the grim truth behind the theft, it plunges him into an even deadlier mission. With lethal secrets in his pocket, he needs to evade the submarines of hostile foreign powers, escape assassins, and forge through the world’s oceans at breakneck pace on a daring quest to save his city and stay alive.
The World Ends in Hickory Hollow
NOT WITH A BANG! When the bombs fell and Western civilization ended, the residents of Hickory Hollow, Texas, scarcely noticed the difference. They were already used to fending for themselves -- growing their own food, helping their neighbors survive, keeping their rural life going, much as before. But when the Ungers -- a band of renegade thieves, murderers, and ne'er-do-wells -- began raiding the nearby plots, looting and killing everyone in sight, it was time to take action! "I was reminded constantly of George R. Stewart's classic post-holocaust novel, Earth Abides. The gentle rhythms of country existence, the sense that the world will continue (with or without us), the joy of living close to the earth, the nature of community itself, all combine for a poignant tale celebrating the best of what it means to be human. In Mayhar's perceptive eyes, the World Begins in Hickory Hollow." --Robert Reginald. Ardath Mayhar authored more othan sixty books, including science fiction, fantasy, western literature, poetry, and young adult tales. She lived and worked in Eastern Texas.

The Furnace
