The Golden Hour by Todd Moss
A Judd Ryker Thriller (1st in series)
Publisher: Putnam
Kindle Daily Deal Price: $2.99
The Golden Hour: In international politics, the hundred hours following a coup, when there is still a chance that diplomacy, a secret back channel, military action — something — might reverse the chain of events.
As the top American diplomat for West Africa, Todd Moss saw a great deal about how diplomacy and politics actually work. But as he shows us, the results aren't always pretty.
When Judd Ryker is appointed director of the new State Department Crisis Reaction Unit, he figures he has a mandate to help the United States respond more quickly to foreign crises, but he hasn't reckoned with the intense State, Defense, Pentagon, White House, and CIA infighting and turf battles he would face. Then comes the coup in Mali. It is his chance to prove that his theory of the Golden Hour actually works — but in the real world, those hours move very, very quickly indeed, and include things he'd never even imagined.
As Ryker races from Washington across Europe to the Sahara Desert, he finds that personalities, loyalties, everything he thought he knew, begin to shift and change beneath his feet — and that friends and enemies come in many forms.

The Singular Menace Series (YA) (1st in series)
Publisher: Knopf
Nook Daily Find Price: $1.99 (price-matched by Amazon)
Shay Remby arrives in Hollywood with $58 and a handmade knife, searching for her brother, Odin.
Odin's a brilliant hacker but a bit of a loose cannon. He and a group of radical animal-rights activists hit a Singular Corp. research lab in Eugene, Oregon. The raid was a disaster, but Odin escaped with a set of highly encrypted flash drives and a post-surgical dog.
When Shay gets a frantic 3 a.m. phone call from Odin — talking about evidence of unspeakable experiments, and a ruthless corporation, and how he must hide — she's concerned. When she gets a menacing visit from Singular's security team, she knows: her brother's a dead man walking.
What Singular doesn't know — yet — is that 16-year-old Shay is every bit as ruthless as their security force, and she will burn Singular to the ground, if that's what it takes to save her brother.

Nexus by Ramez Naam
The Nexus Trilogy (1st in series)
Publisher: Brilliance Audio
Audible Daily Deal Price: $3.95
In the near future, the experimental nano-drug Nexus can link humans together, mind to mind. There are some who want to improve it. There are some who want to eradicate it. And there are others who just want to exploit it.
When a young scientist is caught improving Nexus, he's thrust over his head into a world of danger and international espionage — for there is far more at stake than anyone realizes.
From the halls of academe to the halls of power; from the headquarters of an elite agency in Washington DC to a secret lab beneath Shanghai; from the underground parties of San Francisco to the illegal biotech markets of Bangkok; from an international neuroscience conference to a remote monastery in the mountains of Thailand, this is a thrill ride through a future on the brink of explosion.
