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 : Greg Marion
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.

Caledonian Skies : Hugh Wilson
Caledonian Skies
It is February of 1939. International tensions are at an all-time high, and there is little trust in Germany’s new leader as Ian Mackay, a decorated Royal Flying Corps ace of the Great War, settles atop the mountain of Ben Lomond to watch the sunrise.
A short time later, Ian observes what he believes is an experimental German reconnaissance airplane spying on Scotland from above. But there are no other witnesses, and the rudimentary radar of the day is unreliable. Ian has seen his share of hardship and unfortunately knows all too well about the realities of war.
Still, he is driven to report what he has seen to Scotland’s military intelligence officials; they are skeptical at first but eventually agree to send Ian on an intelligence mission to investigate the latest German reconnaissance aircraft. As the war clouds gather, Ian, who is now alone at forty-two after losing his one and only love years ago, embarks on a perilous journey to save his country and perhaps the world.
With a cyanide capsule safely tucked away in his pocket, Ian only hopes he will never have to use it.
In this spirited tale of love and war that spans twenty-five years of modern European history and four generations of Scots, a seasoned pilot enters Nazi Germany on a wing and a prayer as the world erupts into chaos.
