Synopsis Fidelis by : Teresa Fazio

In 1998 Teresa Fazio signed up for the Marine Corps' ROTC program to pay her way through MIT. After the United States was attacked on September 11, 2001, leading to the War on Terror, she graduated with a physics degree into a very different world, owing the Marines four years of active duty. At twenty-three years old and five foot one, Fazio was the youngest and smallest officer in her battalion; the combined effect of her short hair, glasses, and baggy camo was less Hurt Locker than Harry Potter Goes to War. She cut an incongruous figure commanding more experienced troops in an active war zone, where vulnerability was not only taboo but potentially lethal. In this coming-of-age story set in the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Fazio struggles with her past, her sense of authority, and her womanhood. Anger stifles her fear and uncertainty. A forbidden affair placates her need for love and security. But emptiness, guilt, and nightmares plague Fazio through her deployment--and follow her back home.

Synopsis Semper Fidelis by : Ruth Downie

When Ruso rejoins his unit in the remote outpost of the Roman Empire known as Britannia, he finds that all is not well with the Twentieth Legion. As they keep a suspicious eye on the barbarians to the north, the legionaries appear to have found trouble even closer to home-among the native recruits to Britannia's imperial army. A young soldier has jumped off a roof, killing himself. Why? Mysterious injuries, and even deaths, begin to pile up in Ruso's medical ledgers, and it soon becomes clear that this suicide is not an isolated incident. Can the men really be under a curse? And what has this to do with the much-decorated Centurion Geminus? Bound by his sense of duty and compelled by his ill-advised curiosity, Ruso begins to ask questions nobody wants to hear. Meanwhile his barbarian wife, Tilla, starts to find out some of the answers-and is marked as a security risk by the very officers Ruso is interrogating. With Hadrian's visit looming large, the fates of the legion, Tilla, and Ruso himself hang in the balance.

Synopsis Dark Waters by : Robin Blake

Preston, 1741. The drowning of drunken publican Antony Egan is no surprise – even if it comes as unpleasant shock to coroner Titus Cragg, whose wife is the old man’s niece. But he does his duty to the letter, and the inquest’s verdict is accidental death. But Cragg’s close friend Luke Fidelis finds evidence to cast doubt on the events leading up to Egan’s demise. Soon, suspicions are roused still further when a well-to-do farmer collapses and it appears he was in town on political business. Is there a conspiracy afoot? With the help of Fidelis’s scientific ingenuity he sets about bringing the true criminals to light...

Synopsis Semper Fidelis by : E. Lee Kone

In Semper Fidelis, a poignant collection of poetry, love comes full circle as poet E. Lee Kone beautifully expresses heartfelt emotions about love lost, love found, and love reborn. Kone begins her collection with poetry written for those who have lost a loved one through infidelity, separation, divorce, or death. She continues her journey into the heartrending moments of longing for someone to love, the invigorating heights of newly-discovered love, the bittersweet feeling after discovering unattainable love, and the joyful rebirth that accompanies new love. Kone then concludes her journey with an emotional portrayal of a wife's tragic loss of her husband during the 9/11 tragedy and a child's pain after losing both parents. Everyone longs to have a lasting relationship with someone they adore. Kone's poems each tell a separate story of their own, all while illustrating that no matter how great the loss, the heart has the ability to adapt, to heal, to trust again, and ultimately to find its way back to true love.
