Action and Adventure

Action and Adventure

Are you looking for explosions, high-speed chases, rappelling down the sides of buildings, and generally everything that Tom Cruise does on a daily basis?  Then we're sure you're dying to get your hands on free and discounted ebooks in the Action and Adventure genre.  You've come to the right place.  All of our Action and Adventure authors that promote their ebooks want you to get their ebooks at the lowest price possible.  Always free or discounted!

 

Definition of "Action and Adventure Genre": You may ask yourself, how does an Action and Adventure ebook differ from a Thriller ebook?  Fair question.  They may seem similar, but the main aspect of an Action and Adventure ebook is the element of consistent physical danger as a main part of the storyline.  So, while our reference to Tom Cruise and, for instance, his Mission Impossible series was slightly tongue-in-cheek, those stories would actually fall into the Action and Adventure genre.  Another important aspect of the Action and Adventure genre is that the pace of the novel using action is actually just as important as character building and setting--which makes the genre differ from others in a significant fashion.

 

Some examples of Action and Adventure bestselling ebooks are James Patterson (most of his Alex Cross novels), Pierce Brown (Red Rising), Tom Clancy (most of his Jack Ryan novels), and A.G. Riddle (The Atlantis Gene).  

Of Breath and Blood: A Murder Mystery Suspense Thriller (Detectives Daniels and Remalla Book 2)

by J. T. Bishop


Darkness Dwells where the Light Prevails

When a series of liquor store robberies leads to murder, Detectives Daniels and Remalla are thrown into a secretive world where a fanatical cult leader’s evil ambitions reveal more than just a violent group of followers.

Determined to discover the man’s true motives, they follow the clues, but the closer they get, the greater the risk becomes when strange revelations lead them into a paranormal world where a cryptic organization may hold the key to the answers they seek.

When Remalla goes undercover to search for answers, Daniels faces his own demons when a brutal mental assault threatens all he holds dear, and the case takes a dangerous turn, requiring the partners to rely on each other to survive.

As the threat grows, the man at the heart of it all will use his power to delve into the depths of evil, and will force Daniels and Remalla to confront the malevolence determined to extract…both breath and blood.


Of Breath and Blood is book two in the Detectives Daniels and Remalla series. It follows Haunted River, but can be read on its own. If you are eager for spine-tingling suspense, heart-pounding danger with a touch of the supernatural, and a riveting page turner that will keep you up at night, then enjoy Of Breath and Blood.

Odyssey’s Child

by John Lockton


A gripping psychological thriller about a teenage boy held captive on a sailboat in the Caribbean, who finds life lessons by overcoming evil, and surviving an unforgettable voyage.


For fans of 
Life of Pi and The Alchemist, an unforgettable, spellbinding literary epic, brimming with excitement and magic that will have you laughing and crying in the joy of being alive that is the Caribbean.

When Ethan Carpenter fails to get help for his mother as she lays dying, he is blamed for her death, cast out by a father who hates him, and finds himself abducted to a small sailboat in the Caribbean. The man who holds him descends to the darkest of evil with the boy his prey, as dangerous to Ethan as the tiger in 
Life of Pi. Like Pi, Ethan must find a way to avoid the man and his evil on an extended voyage, a two month, 1,500 mile sail the length of the Caribbean. But unlike Pi he must fight a second tiger within. Selfblame for his mother’s death has taken him so far into himself that the real world seems an illusion, suicide the only answer. As the evil increases he is pushed toward becoming part of the very evil he is fighting. Can he overcome the man while finding a way out of the darkness that is his life? The boy’s odds dim as the voyage becomes a frightening odyssey with the killer ocean storms, predators of the deep, and fantastical and deadly characters on shore as Homer told it of old.

The boy’s only hope is a black sailor who befriends him and tries to protect him. A knock-down physical and psychological battle rages between the two men with the heart and soul of the boy the prize and murder at play. Even in the violence the sailor’s wisdom and humanity shine through, taking the story to an exploration of life’s deeper meaning. And like 
The Alchemist, the sailor leads the boy through a series of events, each with a life lesson, in a personal journey toward finding himself and his future, a narrative of inspiration and self-realization. Lush, evocative, and totally human the story reminds one that life is worth living and the search for one’s self is the most important search of all.

Old Man's War

by John Scalzi


Perfect for an entry-level sci-fi reader and the ideal addition to a veteran fan’s collection, John Scalzi's 
Old Man’s War will take audiences on a heart-stopping adventure into the far corners of the universe.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army.

The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce-and aliens willing to fight for them are common. The universe, it turns out, is a hostile place.

So: we fight. To defend Earth (a target for our new enemies, should we let them get close enough) and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has gone on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.

Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity's resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What's known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don't want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You'll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. You'll serve your time at the front. And if you survive, you'll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets.

John Perry is taking that deal. He has only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight, light-years from home, is far, far harder than he can imagine-and what he will become is far stranger.

2 Vampires and Villains
The book club has recovered from their first book journey, and they all agree on their next book which takes place on a cruise ship bound for Hawaii.

Once on the ship, they meet a charming and likeable man who blends seamlessly into their motley group. Too bad they don’t know why he’s so scarce during the day but shows up to join them every evening for dinner, drinks, and a show. When a dead body shows up on board, their new friend is labeled a suspect. Can they help him out by finding the real murderer? Or is he the real murderer?

BOOK ONE: HOME

One of “Twelve Books You Should Read If You Love The Walking Dead.” —Bookbub
"Tom Abrahams' HOME introduces us to a prepper nightmare." --BoingBoing 

*****A KINDLE *ALL-STAR* SELECTION ***** 

HE THOUGHT HE WAS PREPARED. HE THOUGHT HIS FAMILY WAS SAFE. HE WAS WRONG.

Five years after a pneumonic plague killed two-thirds of the world’s population, army veteran Marcus Battle is isolated. He’s alone with his guns, his food, and the graves of his wife and child. 

Unaware of the chaos that’s befallen everything outside of his central Texas ranch land, Marcus lives a Spartan life. If anyone steps onto his property he shoots first and never ask questions. 

But when a woman in distress, chased by marauders, seeks asylum, Marcus has a decision to make. 

Does he throw her to the wolves to protect himself or does he help her and leave the shelter and protection of home?

BOOK TWO: CANYON

HE’S HOMELESS. HE’S ON THE RUN. AND HE WANTS REVENGE.

Marcus Battle has left behind his home. 

Now he’s on a seemingly impossible mission to find a missing child. But can he balance that responsibility with his deep, primal desire to exact revenge on the men who destroyed his solitary existence? 

The world he discovers on his journey isn’t the one he remembers before a pneumonic plague called The Scourge killed two-thirds of the world’s population. It is lawless, depraved, and far-deadlier than the disease which created it. 

Battle made a promise to find that child. It’s a promise he regrets more acutely with every step of the journey where he is as much the hunter as he is the hunted.

BOOK 3: WALL

HE SURVIVED THE SCOURGE. HE ESCAPED THE CARTEL. NOW HE FACES THE WALL.

In the chaos of a global plague, evil took hold. Governments fell, the good became servants, and the Cartel rose to power. 

A wall was built to contain the wasteland and keep the evil at bay. Now an organized resistance wants change. They're willing to fight for it and they've asked Marcus Battle to help. 

The last thing Battle wants is another war. But if that's what it takes to gain freedom and safe passage to the other side of the wall, he'll take aim and fire.

The Wizard Slayer (The Wizard Slayer Saga Book 1)

by Franklin Roberts


Magick turns men into gods. Men were not born to be gods.

Untold eons have bred the likes of Krael, a towering barbarian with canine teeth more akin to fangs and a feral prowess in battle that few can match. But behind his dark, savage eyes lies the strict training of religious zealots intent on eradicating the foul influence of magick.

Before the Wizard Slayer can continue his one-man crusade, the politicians of a corrupt megacity seek to enslave him in their selfish schemes of conquest. Krael has no choice but to escape to the Outlaw Kingdoms, a war-torn land crawling with the scattered remnants of fallen civilizations. Countless sorcerers have been slaughtered by his hand, but with the greatest assassin money can buy at his heels, the legendary Wizard Slayer comes closer to defeat than ever before.

The greatest ally on Krael’s side is Prince Eledrith, but as the young noble struggles against fellow politicians and decadent predecessors, he finds he must also battle against his own sinister destiny. By blood and steel, Eledrith and Krael must fight for not only their lives, but the fate of the known world.

If you like the brutal action of Robert E. Howard's Conan, the dark fantasy of Kentaro Miura’s Berserk, and the fast pace of old-fashioned pulp sword and sorcery, then you won’t be able to put down The Wizard Slayer!

"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.

But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.

On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.

But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

Grave Descend

by Michael Crichton


From the creator of Jurassic Park and ER

Leagues below the sparkling blue water of the Caribbean Sea lies the mysterious wreckage of the Grave Descend. Protected by a wall of coral reef and blood-thirsty sharks, the corpse of the sunken yacht has been deemed unrecoverable by every diver in the world. Until James McGregor is offered a shot at it.

For McGregor, a thirty-nine-year-old diver with a long history of unsavory salvage jobs, it’s his last chance at a big payday. But the more he learns about the wreck, the more questions he uncovers—because none of the survivors are telling the same story. How did the ship really sink? What was its cargo? And why is this whole project starting to feel like a suicide mission?

The contrast between Sean and my ex is striking, so when he invites me over to his place, I dismiss the reservations I’ve had up until then and take the plunge. Everything seems to be going perfectly. I find myself drawn deeper into his charm and, when we’re in the bedroom, I allow the fires of passion to blur the boundaries I had set for myself.

However, as the night unfolds, red flags become glaringly obvious. By then, it’s already too late. I’m trapped in the confines of his house and unable to escape the horrifying secrets he hides within.
