Action with elements of sci-fi, war, alternate history, dinosaurs, and always, always romance. These are some of my best: Arzamas-16 : In 1949, a war-weary male Soviet army colonel and a by-the-book female NKVD agent are sent into action when communications from the USSR's top secret bomb-making city mysteriously go dead just days after the country tests its first atom bomb. Little Sheep : A young fighter leads his fellow child soldiers on a campaign to liberate vulnerable people across their war-ravaged African country. Plague of Yersinia : As the Black Death terrorizes Medieval England, a tabby tries to save his fellow cats when superstitious humans target them for eradication, even as millions of disease-carrying rats multiply across the land. Sea Dragons : The U.S. Navy's latest, armed-to-the-teeth Destroyer comes to the aid of a vessel that has collided with an unknown creature, provoking deadly combat between prehistoric sea monsters and a modern military ill-prepared to counter such an adversary. Thunder Lizards of the Bakongo : Warriors in pre-Colonial Africa battle dinosaurs of legend after a great conflagration forces the beasts out of hiding.
