The devil's sword by Douglas E. Richards is a action-packed book from the start, with the main character, Kevin going with his two friends, Rachel and Ben to a regional fencing tournament in Nellis air force base. However, they all get captured by mercs, or mercenaries who attempt to use them to get into the Nellis air force base to kidnap a famous laser scientist to make another of a satellite called heaven's shield. Heaven's shield was designed to destroy ballistic missiles. Unbeknownst to the government, a rogue black ops unit switched heaven's shield with a prototype laser codenamed the Devil's sword. This version of the laser could strike targets on the ground-with pinpoint accuracy. I would tell more, but it's a really good book, so you'll just have to find out yourself by reading it.

the Series of Unfortionate Events book one: the Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
The Series of Unfortunate Events book one: the Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket is a delightful book- OK not really. This story is about three orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, and their uncle, count Olaf. The Baudelaire children were happy, at least until their parent's house burned down, and they were placed in the care of count Olaf, who devised a nefarious scheme to get at the Baudelaire fortune. This book is interesting, but in a genre all to its own.

The Softwire by P. J. Haarsma
The Softwire by P. J. Haarsma is a great start to the Softwire
series, with our main character, JT being able to communicate with his
seed ship's Mother, an artificial intelligence, in a very unusual way.
He is able to "hear" Mother in his mind. When his ship reaches it's
destination, Orbis 1 he is deemed a "softwire", a person who can
communicate with computers using just his mind. However at the time of
his arrival, there is a serious problem with the main computer which
runs Orbis 1, a computer virus. He is blamed for what happens, and,
well, you'll just have to read the book to find out what happens next. I
highly recommend this book for all interested in the futuristic genre.
