SYNOPSIS Liliana Velasco can only think of herself as a rebel, a legally-wrong-but-moralistically-correct criminal, but when she accepts an offer from two strangers to break her out of jail she finds herself fighting not only for the freedom of refugees fleeing the fascist US of A, but also for the two inhuman undead who have been manipulating her bloodline for centuries. Pursued by religious zealots and law-disregarding agencies, Liliana must decide whether to accept the guilt of her ancestors, or break the promise and condemn the desperate to undeserving torment. Either way, she’s headed to Hell in a hand basket, but at least she gets to chose how she gets there.

A picture from an old German newspaper. Several soldiers are on a cliffside, manning a wheeled machinegun, facing an amphibious landing. The Ballte of Tanga, AKA the battle of the BEES, was fought 110 YEARS AGO during WW1, where British troops invaded German Colonized Tanga. The battle took a turn for the bizarre when bullets ripped into Beehives, scaring the insects and turning them violent.

Briar's Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Action and Fantasy Read Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2022 Stephen M. Coghlan's Crossroads is a hit packed with action, suspense, betrayal, and danger. GENMOS is one of those books that I just don't understand how more people haven't read it. This book feels like the Animorphs thrown into the Fast and the Furious franchise. There's lots of action, a good amount of drama, and superpowers galore. It's the perfect book for someone who wants a fast paced thrill ride with just enough fantasy thrown in. I highly recommend picking this book up and giving this indie author's work a read. Teenagers have been genetically modified to be part animal, and not only do they look like these animals - they have superpowers too. Of course, the why someone would do this is to initiate control, but what happens when they want their freedom? Read this incredible series to find out! And be blown away like I was. Overall, I thought this book was incredible. The action is intense and there's a lot of it, there's enough drama to pull at your heart strings, and there's just never a dull moment. Stephen M. Coghlan is an underrated author who deserves so much more hype. His storytelling abilities are INCREDIBLE!
