Gray Horizon
by CB Samet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Sworn enemies. A stolen nuclear weapon. And the clock's ticking.
When
Dr. Lillian Whyte learns a nuclear weapon is on the loose in Europe, she
collides with a ruthless mercenary from her past. Isolated from her husband, a
former CIA operative, Lillian tries to covertly help track the weapon. As she
he joins the race to stop the bomb, she is drawn into a deadly game of chase.
Despite her efforts, those intent on global catastrophe remain one step ahead
of her.
As
Lillian faces the fears of her past and deadliness of the present, can she
secure the future of the world?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“Dr.
Whyte,” a guttural voice greeted her.
Her
blood turned frigid and her stomach lurched as her heart thudded against her ribcage.
As long as she lived, she would never forget that deep German accent—the voice
of one of her captors nine years ago in Kenya.
The
one that got away.
She
was fairly certain Ivan Kleist would have only one reason for tracking her
down: revenge.
Springing
from the bench seat, she lashed a leg out into his gut. She saw a brief look of
surprise on his pale face before she took off in a sprint.
Why
now? Nine years he had waited.
The
calculating killer had waited until she was out of the United States and away
from Sean to corner her. She dashed in the direction of her hotel. Would she be
safe in the lobby? In her room?
She
slung her purse over her shoulder. Her phone was in the outer pocket, but she
would have to slow down to make a call. Not happening. She would not slow until
she reached the hotel.
Could
she beat him to the hotel? His legs were longer, but she was ten years younger.
But he probably hadn’t already logged twenty-six thousand steps for the day, as
she had.
From
her peripheral vision, Lillian saw an enormous object barreling toward her like
a freight train. She barely had time to brace herself before Ivan plowed into
her. She felt like she had been tackled by a linebacker. His large arms
encircled her as she sailed to the ground. They rolled through the grass, her
body encased by his.
He
was so large he could probably crush the life out of her with his arms. She
gasped for air. He wasn’t crushing her, but his grip was immobilizing.
Grunting,
he hauled her to her feet. “Settle down, hase. Little white rabbit.”
Lillian,
still dazed and sucking wind after her sprint, hardly put up a fight as he
dragged her into an alley. Looking around frantically, her eyes couldn’t focus
long enough to see anyone within shouting distance. She clawed at his large
hand blocking her mouth from screaming.

GUEST POST:
Five Reasons You Should Read My Book
1. Perfectly timed thriller. In a
world where nuclear weapons are wide spread and Korea is bomb testing (there's
only one reason to test bombs), Gray Horizon fits right in. Have you seen the
latest Mission Impossible? Yep. Small, portable nuclear weapons ... they can
happen. Did you see Amazon Prime's Jack Ryan series? Not only were the
character and script brilliant (loved the female infectious disease doctor),
but biomedical warfare is a scary reality ... and I covered that ground in the
Whyte Knight (2017).
2. We want heroines.
Wonder Woman took the box office by storm. It was great entertainment and fed
our craving for strong women in fiction. I love the quote 'She needed a hero,
so she became one' (Robin Reed). The heroin of Gray Horizon and the Dr. Whyte
thriller series (Lillian Whyte) doesn't have superpowers, and her struggle is
real. She has only her wits and determination to keep her afloat in the chaos
of a stolen nuclear weapon.
3. Villains enthrall us. Gray
Horizon has its share of deadly threats--a North Korean super assassin, a
German mercenary for hire, a greedy American entrepreneur. Which of these seeks
to unleash devastation and which will have a change of heart?
4. Continuous entertainment. The
thriller ride doesn't have to end with Gray Horizon. There are three books in
the series, all featuring Lillian facing daunting obstacles from war mongers to
terrorists with biomedical weapons to nuclear bombs. I have also published The
Rider Files, a suspense series featuring a whole new set of good guys vs bad
guys (with books 1-3 out).
