FORCED TO MARRY HIM: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It by Davinder Kaur

In the late 1980s, Davinder Kaur was forced to marry a man she didn’t know. When she was only fourteen years old, the marriage was arranged and set to occur when she turned eighteen. After four long years of internal turmoil and despair, she had two choices: adhere to the customs and traditions of her family, or risk bringing dishonor to their home. Davinder didn’t like either option, so she made a plan—a plan to survive.

In Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It, Kaur tells of the pain, lies, and betrayal she suffered at the hands of those who were meant to protect her the most. But her story doesn’t end there. Davinder’s willingness to speak out and fight not only saved her life but the lives of many other women and young girls over the years. She offers courage and strength to those who can’t advocate for themselves, and she works with organizations all over the world to help end arranged and forced marriages. Kaur gives a voice to the voiceless as she breaks down walls to eradicate cultural and traditional abuse.

Search Parameters: A Hackers Novel by J. R. Rada

Chris Alten has adjusted to life in a wheelchair, in large part because of Harvey, a sentient computer program that has become his best friend. Chris, Harvey, and Ashlyn Jacobsen enjoy sharing adventures in cyberspace.

However, Chris must also allow the FBI access to Harvey when they have problems that need solving. That is, until Chris feels they are using Harvey to hunt down and kill criminals. When Chris threatens to cut off the FBI’s access to Harvey, the FBI confiscates Chris’s father’s computer equipment and pulls their security detail off the Alten family.

This leads to ManPower, the cyberterrorist group that killed Chris’s father, kidnapping Chris’s mother in an effort to get Harvey’s program. Chris has to make a choice as to whether destroying the only sentient computer program in the world is worth his mother’s life.

It is a race against time to see if Chris, Ashlyn, and Harvey can locate Chris’s mother before ManPower is able to destroy Harvey.

About Forgotten Colony: Tau Ceti: An epic sci-fi story in an immersive fantasy world

A sci-fi story turn fantasy adventure, Tau Ceti launches the epic journey of the Forgotten Colony series. Twistingly enjoyable, the tale of Kenzo begins on an alien world with a human colony that has forgotten their origins. Arrested for use of modern technology, the odyssey goes spiraling out of control. Our hero must find balance to succeed.

Thrilling and enjoyable… A propulsive adventure. (The Prairies Book Review)

Set in far future, LaBraun’s debut installment in the Forgotten Colony series is an engrossing blend of SF and magic. Kenzo Jaxson, the security in charge for the excursion team in Sol-Rey, is little wary of their mission when his team lands on Tau Ceti Four, an isolated colony left on its own for more than a century. As the team begins its excursion, Kenzo realizes he needs to face his inner demons first. LaBraun vividly details his SF world, from individual attributes and advanced technology to intermittent sprinklings of the Tau Ceti Four’s fascinating mix of the ancient Middle East desert life and medieval town communities. He adeptly handles his large cast of characters and subplots, with separate storylines linking with each other by the end. The unique blend of fantasy with a typical space opera is both clever and entertaining. Richly developed and profound, the novel does an admirable job of presenting the archetypal story of an unlikely hero struggling with inner turmoil and confusion. Lovers of fast-paced, action-packed space adventure will be greatly rewarded.
