Oz, Monsters, and Delta Force

Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire
Once peaceful and prosperous, the spectacular Land of Oz is knotted with social unrest: The Emerald City is mounting an invasion of Munchkinland, Glinda is under house arrest, and the Cowardly Lion is on the run from the law. And look who's knocking at the door. It's none other than Dorothy. Yes. That Dorothy. Yet amidst all this chaos, Elphaba's granddaughter, the tiny green baby born at the close of Son of a Witch, has come of age. Now it is up to Rain to take up her broom--and her legacy--in an Oz wracked by war.

The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff
In the wake of a wildly disastrous affair with her married archaeology professor, Willie Upton arrives on the doorstep of her ancestral home in Templeton, New York, where her hippie-turned-born-again-Baptist mom, Vi, still lives. Willie expects to be able to hide in the place that has been home to her family for generations, but the monster's death changes the fabric of the quiet, picture-perfect town her ancestors founded. Even further, Willie learns that the story her mother had always told her about her father has all been a lie: he wasn't the random man from a free-love commune that Vi had led her to imagine, but someone else entirely. Someone from this very town.

Black Site by Dalton Fury
After September 11, 2001, Delta Force troop commander Dalton Fury was given the secret mission to hunt down and kill the most-wanted man in the world, the details of which were recounted in his extraordinary New York Times bestseller Kill Bin Laden. Now Fury draws upon his hard-won combat experience--and his gift for true-to-life storytelling--in a thriller that's as close to reality as readers can get.
