The Second Thirty Years War
THOUGHTS ON WAR AND MANKIND "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power." - Charles A. Beard IN THE HISTORY OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY IN EUROPE, A CATACLYSMIC SERIES OF MAJOR WARS BETWEEN ALL SIGNIFICANT POWERS LASTED FOR SOME THIRTY YEARS OF DEATH AND DEVASTATION. THE MILITARY TOLL WAS ENHANCED BY PLAGUE, STARVATION, AND GOVERNED BY SELFISH INTERESTS. "The most persistent sound which reverberates through history is the beating of war drums." - Arthur Koestler MAN DOES NOT SEEM TO LEARN, AND LEVELS OF DESTRUCTION AND KILLING WERE ONLY ENHANCED AS THE CENTURIES ROLLED BY. THE 20TH CENTURY SAW POPULATIONS DESTROYED, AND THE 21ST MAY REFLECT THE SAME. "History is but the unrolled scroll of prophecy" - President James A. Garfield IT IS NOT HARD TO PROJECT SUCH A SAD HISTORY A HUNDRED YEARS IN THE FUTURE, AND THE SECOND TIRTY YEARS WAR, SET IN THE 22ND CENTURY, ONLY FORECASTS WHAT MAY WELL HAPPEN IF MANKIND REMAINS AS HE - AND SHE - HAVE FOR ALL HISTORY."

The Wild Blue
Dave Jackson earned his private pilot’s license at age sixteen, and is enamored with flying - especially an old bi-wing open-cockpit single engine Stearman PT-17, the standard Army Air Corps and Navy primary trainer for World War II. His world, and that of his girlfriend, literally explodes as terrorists strike near their Midwest home. Dave and his young friends are quickly embroiled, and seem to be the only real counter to a nasty terrorist plot. Dave’s flying skills are tested, his friends endangered, and terrorism in the nation’s heart become a reality.

Kurdistan
Dave Jackson, an Air Force captain and trained pilot, is left wondering what to do when he suffers a serious injury and is told he can no longer fly high-performance aircraft. But then he's visited by a military intelligence officer who tells him his career doesn't have to end. Soon, Jackson finds himself in Kirkuk, Iraq, which is no sleepy Kurdish village but a vibrant city. There, he meets a cast of shadowy figures pushing for Kurdistan independence, and he considers who might be potential partners for the United States. There are many factors to consider, however, especially with the surrounding governments of Iran, Turkey and Syria all having substantial Kurdish populations of their own. If a Kurdish homeland is extracted from Iraq, it could lead to a violent insurgency in other countries and contribute to added violence instead of creating stability. It all amounts to an explosive situation in which one lone American can change the face of world politics. But Jackson may just die in the process as he seeks to create a place on the map for Kurdistan.
