SHADOW CELL by Joseph D'Antoni is Released by BWW News Desk
- December 24, 2015 Joseph D'Antoni's new spy thriller thrusts readers into a bold espionage journey to stop an Argentine mobster from completing his horrific biological experiments to weaponize children. The adventure begins when Wade's handler and lover Megan Winslow disappears only to be found deep undercover as a lab technician in a mob controlled medical facility where orphan children are being injected to become the mobster's instruments of destruction. Facing the overwhelming odds of a well-armed private army, Wade Hanna has little time to apply his unique skills as a black ops specialist to save Megan and the children.
While the science fiction genre has long been a staple of the literary world, readers and critics alike often cry out for narratives based on true science that don't succumb to unreal assumptions and grandiose imagination. Thankfully, Joseph D'Antoni applies his forty-five years of experience as a forensic expert and extensive researcher to bring us this market gripping fourth novel in his covert intelligent series.
Shadow Cell is a fiction book based in the 1980s on real medical experiments previously conducted by the Nazis during WWII. It takes us on a journey of what those experiments might have produced with today's technology. The author makes the believable account of what would happen if such secret research found its way to unscrupulous world powers unfriendly to America.
Synopsis:
Based on the evidence, Wade Hanna had reason to believe Megan was dead. With dogged determination and tracking skills learned in his Louisiana swamp Wade discovers Megan is not dead but on her own dangerous undercover mission for Army intelligence. Her medical training which made her cover story believable to the terrorist has now become life threatening. She faces likely discovery and torture if she doesn't apply her bio-medical talents to the will of her mobster boss.
Wade's single focus to save her soon becomes a suicide mission as Megan faces choices between the children's lives and her own. Even with the help of Wade's black ops European mentor Leopold, Wade has to cleverly think through every small step of his own survival to rescue her. He relies mostly on instincts to disguise himself among the friendly people he so desperately needs to help.
As explained by the author, Joseph D'Antoni, 'Shadow Cell is not a story about a sleeper terrorist cell waiting to come alive within our shores. It's about real cells in our body and how through technology they can and may in the future be manipulated. Children are particularly vulnerable in this story because they were exploited for their cell generating capacity as well as being ideal targets against weaknesses and loopholes in America's adoption and immigration system.'
'If there is a secondary message for readers of Shadow Cell it is to urge them to become more vigilant. Question, understand and close weaknesses in our borders, internet and electronic systems we depend on and hold dear to our way of life but can be exploited by our enemies.'
D'Antoni will soon start working on the fifth novel in this series which is scheduled for release in 2016. Shadow Cell is available now on Amazon. You can follow the author on social media through his website. He has appeared on numerous syndicated shows and is available for interviews.
About the Author:
Joseph D'Antoni was born in Louisiana and went to school in both Louisiana and California where he obtained advanced degrees including his doctorate from the University of Southern California. He has served in the military and on the faculty of three major universities. He now lives and works in California where his continues his successful practice as a court testifying forensic economist.

Book Synopsis
When he was six, Johnny's parents gave their lives to defeat the Anunnaki and free Earth. Except they failed. Ten years of training later, a reluctant Johnny is the best cadet in the Watcher resistance network. He's not the best because he wants to fight aliens, but because it's the only way to escape his parents' tainted legacy. At least, according to The Eagle, the leader of the resistance.
But on the day Johnny is set to graduate and finally put his training into action, the Anunnaki attack his home, New Bagram, forcing a full-scale evacuation. When the dust settles, Johnny vows to protect the surviving New Bagramites, who long for a symbol of hope. His mission: find the four Conifers, alien gems that grant superhuman powers. The good news: he already has one. The bad news: The Anunnaki have three. The worse news: The Anunnaki only need his Conifer to activate a doomsday weapon of biblical proportions.
If Johnny wants to stop the Anunnaki and protect New Bagram's survivors, he must overcome his resentment over a lost childhood and accept his parents' legacy. He will have to rely on his combat prowess and learn to trust again. He will have to become the deadliest earthling.

Book Synopsis
'I have special coping mechanisms for the times I need to open the front door. They're even often successful...'
Zoe Lydon knows there's often nothing logical or rational about fear. It doesn't change the fact that she's too terrified to step outside her own house, however. What Zoe doesn't realise is that she's also a dreamweaver - able to access other people's subconscious minds. When she finds herself in the Dreamlands and up against its sinister Mayor, she'll need to use all of her wits - and overcome all of her fears - if she's ever going to come out alive.

Helen currently lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with far too many cats - not to mention the dragons, fairies, demons, wizards and vampires that seem to keep appearing from nowhere.

Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. Recognizes the 75th Anniversary of TYPEWRITER IN THE SKY by BWW News Desk
- December 24, 2015 'Typewriter in the Sky' was first published 75 years ago in the November-December 1940 issues of Unknown Fantasy Fiction. In recognition of this anniversary, James Sullos, President Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., offered his congratulations on the diamond anniversary with a presentation made at the L. Ron Hubbard Library in Hollywood, CA, Tuesday, December 22. Sullos presented a plaque to Galaxy Press President John Goodwin, which read: 'Congratulations to L. Ron Hubbard on the 75th anniversary of Typewriter in the Sky. What literary and creative genius to have the featured antagonist modify the author's storyline to become the protagonist. Edgar Rice Burroughs and Mr. Hubbard are pulp fiction legends. Their personal interchanges spoke fondly of their respective talents. May both of their legacies continue to survive over the centuries.'
'Typewriter in the Sky' remains one of Hubbard's most celebrated titles. In the book Resnick at Large, authors Mike Resnick and Robert J. Sawyer cite 'Typewriter in the Sky' as an example of 'Recursive Science Fiction,' a subgenre described as science fiction about science fiction.' It is additionally listed in 'Fantasy: The 100 Best Books,' by James Cawthorn and Michael Moorcock. In 'Rivals of Weird Tales: 30 Great Fantasy and Horror Stories from the Weird Fiction Pulps,' Robert E. Weinberg, Stefan R. Dziemianowicz and Martin H. Greenberg write that 'Typewriter in the Sky' is classed among stories published in Unknown which 'still rank as some of the best fantasy produced in this century.' Author David Wingrove notes in 'The Science Fiction Source Book,' 'His [Hubbard's] best work is outstanding within the pulp tradition: 'Typewriter in the Sky' is a fine fantasy about a man who gets trapped within a story written by a pulp writer.' Writing in A Short History of Fantasy, authors Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James characterize the book as 'The best of Hubbard's stories' and notes that it 'is better seen as a rationalized fantasy.'
Typewriter in the Sky is available from Galaxy Press, Amazon.com and BN.com in both print and digital formats. http://www.galaxypress.com/product/typewriter-in-the-sky/
Born on March 13, 1911 in Tilden, Nebraska, L. Ron Hubbard was one of America's most prolific writers of popular fiction producing over 15 million words of fiction with a writing career that spanned over five decades.
