YOU CAN FINALLY GET YOUR VANOPS ADRENALINE FIX.
SOLSTICE SHADOWS IS LIVE!
A computer-app designer. An encrypted relic. Can she decipher the dangerous code before extremists trigger a high-tech apocalypse?
Software expert Maddy Marshall isn’t sure she’s ready for a hazardous role in black ops. But when an armed Russian thief makes off with a rare ancient star chart, the aikido black belt has no choice but to pursue. If her royal Spanish family legends are true, the scroll leads to a superconductive treasure trove capable of powering the ultimate instrument of global destruction.

Check out this SOLSTICE SHADOWS blurb from K.J. Howe
While prepping for ITW's virtual Thrillerfest 2020, K.J. Howe somehow managed to find time to read an advance copy of Solstice Shadows.
Here's what she had to say:
"Avanti Centrae packs a thriller parachute with endless suspense and a rip-cord ending. SOLSTICE SHADOWS is meticulously researched, the history, science, and locales offering a rare 'you-are-there' authenticity. Brew a large pot of java, as you will read through the night.

August 11th will be here soon. I hope you'll love it, too, and will drop me a line to let me know what you think. In the meantime, pick up a copy of SKYJACK and step inside the fascinating world of hostage negotiators.
