Rath’s Deception (The Janus Group Book 1)

On the cut-throat streets of Tarkis, orphaned teens like Rath end up jailed … or dead. So when the shadowy Janus Group offers Rath a chance to earn riches beyond his wildest dreams, he seizes it. But the Janus Group is as ruthless as the elite assassins it controls.

Rath will have to survive their grueling, off-world training, and fulfill all fifty kills in his contract before a single cent comes his way. And ending so many lives comes with a price Rath can’t anticipate. It’ll certainly cost him what’s left of his innocence. It may well cost him his life.

Interview with the Author
Q – What makes the Janus Group series special?
A – Growing up, I loved books like Ender’s Game and the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series. When I sat down to write the Janus Group books, I wanted to capture what I liked best about those books – sci fi thrillers or action thrillers in a fast-paced style. The series is best characterized as cyberpunk science fiction thrillers, with a little detective and police procedural elements thrown in to boot. Finally, I like my characters to be relatable, and facing overwhelming odds – the plot is action-packed, and keeps you guessing. Beware: plot twists ahead!

Q – What order should I read the books in?
A – Last Pursuit is a short story set in the Janus Group world – it’s the prequel, and the story that inspired me to write a full series. You can read that first (for free), then Books 1-3 (Rath’s Deception, Rath’s Gambit, and Rath’s Reckoning) in order from there. Books 1-3 are a complete story arc – Book 3 resolves everything from Books 1 and 2.

Q – Why should readers give these books a try?
A – Because the Janus Group books are fast, inventive, page-turners that kick ass and take names! They’ve been described as “Jason Bourne” meets “Bladerunner.” Any fans of hitman books, science fiction assassin tales, or cyberpunk thrillers will enjoy them.

Q – Can readers get the whole series in one bundle?
A – Not yet – sorry, just haven’t had a chance to get around to it! But sign up for my newsletter at http://piersplatt.com/newsletter (copy and paste into your browser), or follow me on my author page here at Amazon to find out when I do release a bundle.

Itsy Bitsy Spider: An unputdownable and gripping crime thriller (Emma Frost Book 1)

A mother desperate to escape her past. An island full of deadly secrets…

Reaching the imposing beach house she’s inherited on Fanoe Island, reporter Emma Frost holds on tightly to her children’s hands. She promised to give them a fresh start in her grandmother’s old home. But she soon suspects that her grandmother was murdered. And everyone, including the police, refuses to talk about what happened…

Then Emma hears the devastating news that another woman has been killed just a few doors down. A bloody number was painted on the wall above her body, and it looks exactly like a faint red mark in Emma’s grandmother’s old bedroom.

Is this a serial killer’s deadly calling card?

Emma can’t leave Fanoe; the house is the only thing she owns. There is nowhere else she can take her children. Her only choice is to stop this killer herself, before he targets her family again.

The Wild Side: Sneak Peek

Be one of the first to read this sneak preview sample edition before the full length novel comes out!

A seemingly ordinary guidance counselor goes undercover as a high-class escort to bring down a dangerous network of ruthless and powerful men in the gripping new standalone page-turner from legendary, #1 international bestseller Fern Michaels. The season’s must-read for fans of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, James Patterson, and Janet Evanovich.

For Melanie Drake, school guidance counselor in a small Virginia town, the day’s challenges typically involve a playground scuffle or a student skipping school. It’s worlds away from her previous career as a vital part of the Office of Special Investigations. There, she devoted herself heart and soul to covert operations, the riskier the better.

Since leaving, Melanie has cherished her peaceful, calm existence, with her two beloved retired service dogs for company. Then a call comes from her former supervisor, Rich Patterson. He needs her back for a highly specialized assignment. An international group of billionaires is known to meet regularly for decadent dinners, and they always hire high-class escorts for the occasion. Only the most elegant, well-educated, and sophisticated women will do. Infiltrating those meetings could yield information vital to national security.

Melanie’s loyalty is indisputable. She’s willing to pose as an escort and glean every scrap of intel that she can. But these men aren’t just wealthy and powerful, they’re also exceptionally ruthless. One slip, and they won’t hesitate to eliminate Melanie, by any means necessary. . .
