An Unproven Concept : James Young
An Unproven Concept
“I loved this book. The action sequences are of epic proportions. It opens on a bang and just keeps going from there.”–Twisted Sci Fi, 4.5 / 5 Stars
The Confederation of Man has overseen humanity’s prosperous expansion for almost eight centuries, with the Confederation Fleet its bulwark against all enemies both internal and external. Despite its numerous successes, the Fleet is a shield that is becoming warped by the schism between its Carrier and Line factions. In the year 3050, Fleet Admiral Malinverni has overseen the design and commissioning of a vessel intended to merge the best of both factions: the battlecruiser Constitution. Intended as a harbinger of a better future, the Constitution is considered a flawed concept by all except her crew. If either Fleet faction has its way, neither the Constitution nor her captain, Mackenzie Bolan, will ever get a chance to prove their naysayers incorrect.
The starliner Titanic is considered to be the epitome of her type. With a handpicked crew, the Titanic is expected to see to passengers’ every need and whim, be it a rare artifact of opulence to stringent, discreet security. Unfortunately Captain Abraham Herrod, her master, is confronted with the growing likelihood that his vessel may soon be rendered obsolete by the ever pressing march of technology. Pushed by his superiors, Captain Herrod must decide just how far he’s willing to go in an attempt to prolong the “Golden Age of Starliners.”
At the convergence of these two ships’ path lies carnage unimaginable to either of their crews. Packed full of action, mecha, and mayhem, An Unproven Concept is a chilling tale of First Contact gone terribly awry.

A Seed for the Harvest : Greg M. Dodd
A Seed for the Harvest is an honest, touching, and sometimes humorous portrayal of the transforming power of faith in Jesus Christ. The story follows the life of Jon Smoak, an advertising professional in his early 40’s living in Columbia, South Carolina. As the book begins, Jon had been a Christian for twenty years.
Yet the only visible evidence of his once life-changing faith was the Bible he kept on his nightstand and somewhat regular attendance in church. But now, as he prayed in front of his Sunday school class, he searched aloud for the true meaning of his faith.
Did Jesus die on the Cross so he could spend two hours a week being social and entertained? “Why am I here?”
Jon’s search for God’s answer will lead him down a path he would never have chosen on his own and touch the lives of people he would never know.

The Five Tors : Benjamin Ford
The Five Tors
In the wilderness of Dartmoor in South-Eastern England there lies a village named Dorstville, and on its outskirts is a house named Naghene Hall. It is a house hidden from view to those who do not know of its existence. Buried beneath the house is an ancient evil from the dawn of time, which will awaken when the blood red moon of a lunar eclipse and a full moon on the winter solstice marks the Night of Madness, the night when a non-believer must be sacrificed to bring about Armageddon.
Rob Tyler, author of thirteen horror novels, has been struggling to find ideas for his new book. When he receives a number of mysterious warnings to stay away from Dorstville he does the exact opposite and sets out to find the village. In so doing he unwittingly sets in motion a terrifying sequence of events that might just lead to his death – and the rebirth of the terror buried beneath Naghene Hall.
Because, although he might be a horror writer, Rob Tyler doesn’t believe in the existence of the terrors he writes about.

A World Without War : D.R. Thompson
A World Without War
Some books are read and easily forgotten. Others stick with you: you mull over what has been presented, digest the material for hours, days or even weeks. A World Without War is the kind of book that will stay with you and challenge your beliefs.
Written by award-winning producer and playwright D.R. (Don) Thompson, A World Without War is a compilation of his essays originally published on the WebDelSol media complex. During that time Thompson chronicled the U.S. and world situation post 9/11, looking at society and politics through the lens of a cultural critic schooled (at times self-taught) in an eclectic array of disciplines: film criticism, technology, the arts, history, business and philosophy. The result is a viewpoint that is at once unique, insightful and thought-provoking.
If you’re open to changing your opinion, Thompson just might sway you. If not, he can help start a conversation on topics not often discussed or explored. His style is at times confrontation, his wit at times acerbic. While you shouldn’t be surprised if he outrages or angers you, bear in mind that underlying all of the material are these questions: How can we create a better world? How can we create a more free, peaceful and prosperous world? How can we create A World Without War? These questions, Thompson feels, are ones we should all be asking.

Red Sky Morning
Whether the world is ready or not, a new breed of secret agent has begun operating in the shadows.
It’s the year 2032, and Mike Brennan finds his life in a seemingly downward spiral. Having lost almost everything, including his confidence, he is ready to give up his once successful career as an industrial spy. Before he has the chance to write himself off, Brennan unexpectedly finds himself assigned as a special agent to the President and is given the opportunity to change to course of America’s future—and his own.
Before long, Brennan becomes tangled in a web of danger and conspiracy as the body count begins. He and his two friends attempt to disappear into the deceptively tranquil setting of Maui, Hawaii.
Nonetheless, their enemy is relentless and determined to find and eliminate them. In the midst of this, he finds himself falling hard for the young and attractive Raquel Richards, who helps him to put aside his heartache and see beyond his previous failures. Before he can save his mission and his friends, Mike realizes he must first save himself. Through his growing love for Raquel, he is able to set his sights on a new destiny.
A visceral glimpse into the future of terrorism, espionage, and deceit, the novel is at once a twisting spy thriller and a compelling tale of one man’s choices involving love, friendship, and responsibility – and the repercussions that ultimately follow.
Written in the author’s distinctive style and narrated through Mike Brennan’s imitable voice, Red Sky Morning blends romance, action, and suspense along with a good dose of humor into a story which presents the reader with America’s newest and most potent spy: The President’s Agent.
