The Gap: Fort Indiantown : John Witherow
To fly. A childhood fantasy fulfilled, a lifelong goal accomplished.
Fresh from rotary-wing flight school, 22-year-old Lieutenant Mark Ashford arrives for his first duty assignment at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, wanting nothing more than to master the art of flight.
But he learns quickly that he’s in the awkward position of overseeing pilots with vastly superior skills and experience. Mark is persistently thwarted by one of these men―Vietnam veteran Nick Trent―who displays no regard for authority or convention, or even for Mark’s own personal safety.
Resolved to learn more about his belligerent subordinate, Mark uncovers a decades-old secret from the Vietnam War―a brutal helicopter assault on innocent villagers.
At the same time, he is tasked with supporting the DEA with aerial reconnaissance in search of a hidden cache of marijuana.
Mark befriends a 16-year-old boy conscripted by the growers into the illicit venture. As he struggles to prevent the boy from drifting deeper into the crevices of the drug world, Mark is torn by his conflicting allegiances and risks his dream of becoming a master pilot.
The Gap is a coming-of-age story that poses questions about the wisdom of the current drug war while employing themes from another lost war.

Who Let the Old Fart into the Classroom : Robert A. Taft
Why Globalism, Socialism and Environmentalism Won’t Work
This fact-based novel revolves around an irascible retired businessman Leonard Whittle who takes his granddaughter Lisa to interview at a liberal university. During her interview, Lisa announces that she is interested in the school’s globalism program. The Principal Dean invites her and Leonard to audit a few classes which they do. What ensues is, for poor Leonard, a mind-blowing collection of progressive views neatly promoted in courses that are global in scope.
The courses run the gamut from socialism to environmentalism, the United Nations to the European Union, from the American business-government cabal to Saul Alinsky and Herbert Marcuse, from the New Left of the 1960s to the New Left of today, from the marginalization of America to the China-Russian vision of globalism.
Leonard can’t believe what the students are being fed and inserts himself in the discussions in every class. Pitted against faculty and students alike, he leaves no subject unturned and wades into the murky depths of micro-aggressions, identity politics, multiple sex categories, George Soros’ control of just about everything, the expense of a college education and much more.
Whether the reader agrees or disagrees with Leonard’s fact-based views, he or she will be left with significant food for equally significant thought.
The Gemini Nemesis : Clive Owen Barry

The disturbing connection between the three of them being, they were all middle-aged men with a perverted preference for young children and worse, all the evidence seems to suggest that the carnage being left behind is the work of two young schoolgirls.
With the female intuition of Detective Constable Christine Whitmore, Nikos is able to connect the crimes together, but the outcome seems to be causing an inner turmoil and confusion within the many departments of the law enforcement fraternity as they try and decide between who are the guilty parties and who might be the victims of the many wrongdoings that have been committed.
From the depravity of the sleazy bars beyond the railway bridge, to the opulently furnished homes of prominent members of society, DI Nikos Papadakis, together with his beautiful lover Chrissy Whitmore, must put together the many pieces of the intricate puzzle and bring the guilty to justice.
