Pandora: Resistance (A Pandora Thriller #3)
by Eric L. HarryTHE BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN Scientist Emma Miller was the first American infected in the Pandoravirus pandemic, which triggers violent rages and sociopathic homicide. No longer fettered by morality or emotion, she has attracted millions of followers, both infected and uninfected. But is she America’s worst nightmare—or its only hope? Emma’s twin sister Isabel and brother Noah struggle against the threats posed by rampant infection, deadly civil unrest, and desperate government measures. Their—and humanity’s—only chance for a future may lie in an alliance with Emma and her expanding community. Will it be peace between Infecteds and Uninfecteds, or eradication of one group by the other? While cities burn and social order crumbles, one family’s fight to survive will determine the future of civilization. Praise for Eric L. Harry and Pandora: Outbreak “Like Crichton and H.G. Wells, Harry writes stories that entertain roundly while they explore questions of scientific and social import.” —Publishers Weekly “Harry’s vision of an apocalyptic plague is as chilling as it is plausible.

Pandora
by Marguerite Labbe2nd EditionHaunted by the screams of the men he murdered, ex-Marine medic Riff Khora is serving a life sentence on board a prison ship. Seeking more punishment for his crime, he strikes a deal with the corrupt Captain Vidal—an exchange of pleasure and pain—and forges a new life leading the team that surveys space wreckage for salvage. Ship engineer Zed Jakobsen’s psychometric abilities make prison a sentence worse than death, and the barrage of emotional stimuli is an unending torment. His only regret is that he didn’t kill the monster who sent him to prison, and only a glimmer of hope to escape a judgment he doesn’t deserve keeps him clinging to a brutal existence. When they board derelict ship Pandora and discover a lone survivor, the hell of prison life plunges into abject horror. An epidemic of violence and insanity consumes their ship, driving the crew to murder and destruction. Mutual need draws Riff and Zed together, and their bond gives them the strength to fight a reality they cannot trust. But Vidal possesses the only means of escape from the nightmare, and he’s not letting anyone leave alive.First Edition published as Pandora in the Deep Into Darkness: Aliens, Alphas and Antiheroes Anthology by Smashwords, 2015.
Pandora
by Alan RodgersThe rumors have swept the country for years. Some dismiss them as yet another urban legend, while others cling to them as gospel truth: a blaze across the night sky, a crash in the New Mexico desert, three aliens lying dead in a top-secret hangar on an air force base in Ohio. But the rumors are only the tip of the iceberg. For there was a fourth being found in the wreckage--a living child, concealed from the world. Pandora. Now she has learned what has been hidden from her, and she will be captive no longer. And wherever she goes, horror follows in her wake.
The Pandora Deception: A Novel (The WMD Files #4)
by David Bruns J. R. OlsonWith The Pandora Deception, Bruns and Olson return with a captivating portrayal of modern day combat that "compares with the best of the timeless classics by Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, and Stephen Coonts." (Mark Greaney) To effectively combat the rise of global terrorism, the U.S. military must now rely on more than traditional weapons and tactics. Don Riley of the U.S. Cyber Command is given charge of a brand new effort: a new team in the CIA Operations Directorate called Emerging Threats. To establish this team he recruits three talented recent commissioned naval officers—Janet Everett, Michael Goodwin, and Andrea Ramirez—and together they uncover a new terrorist group. The group is going under the name of the Mahdi, a messiah figure of Islamic mythology, and is operating in the geopolitical tinderbox that is the Nile River basin. But the Mahdi is no ordinary terrorist group. Their stock in trade is not the usual suicide bombings and surprise attacks. In fact, the Mahdi has created and is about to release the worst kind of weapon: a hugely destructive bioweapon, known as Pandora, with a devastating fatality rate. And it will take all the resources that the U.S. can bring to bear—intelligence assets, cyber warfare and military assaults—to not only find out who is really behind the Mahdi, but to stop them before they successfully destroy the balance of power in the Middle East.
The Pandora Key: An Alex Shanahan Thriller (The Alex Shanahan Thrillers #4)
by Lynne Heitman“A thriller with suspense, intelligence, and compassion” (Alafair Burke, New York Times–bestselling author of The Wife). Alex Shanahan has left the airline industry behind and is focused on her investigation business. When her partner’s shady ex-wife, Rachel, shows up unannounced—and uninvited—she will be dragged into a cold case with international implications . . . Soon after, Alex’s partner disappears. The search for Harvey thrusts Alex into a world of European mobsters, terrorism, fraud, and a mystery halfway around the world that no one wants her to solve. The key to unraveling the mystery lies in the darkest corners of Harvey and Rachel’s past life together. Finding it could save Harvey’s life—and cost Alex her own. “[A] fast-paced thriller . . . Heitman has created a complex, human heroine in Alex—smart, heroic and loyal, but no superwoman—and strong supporting characters to match . . . A taut, satisfying conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly
